Overview

Gulf Shores has everything you need to slip right into the coastal lifestyle, especially when you make this fantastic retreat home for a while! Mar Tortuga is anything but your average getaway, as you will be spoiled in no time with the spacious interior, central location, and easy access to the sugar-white sand of the gulf. As soon as you step foot inside, you will see that this home is more than ready to assist in entertaining the whole family with ease. Hop into the luxurious full kitchen and take advantage of the stainless steel appliances, ample cookware, stunning countertops, and dishwasher to show off your cooking skills with ease. The rest of the gang will love hanging out in the living room with a movie playing on the flatscreen TV or at the dining table for a game night.

When the sun starts to go down, bring a cocktail out to the furnished deck and watch the pink and orange haze of sunset disappear. A long walk on the dan is never a bad idea either, as you have direct beach access from the back door! This is a truly unique coastal getaway, so book your stay while it lasts!

The house features a spacious layout, perfect for relaxing and enjoying meals together. It provides easy access to the beach through a dune crossover, which is a feature that many homes in the area lack. The upstairs master bedroom has a balcony overlooking the ocean with seating. There is also a storage area in the garage equipped with beach chairs, cornhole, and other beach activities. Each bedroom is generously sized and includes its own bathroom, along with an additional half bath on the main level. Additionally, there is a beautiful deck with lounge chairs, ideal for taking in the ocean view. There is a washer & dryer on both levels. There was a cabinet filled with games in the living room.

Our only negative experience was our interaction with the property owners of the blue house two doors down. They yelled at us on Christmas Day for walking our dog on the beach, saying dogs are not allowed on the beach. Our teenage son was hitting golf balls on the completely deserted beach (again Christmas Day). They then took videos and photos of our family for the rest of the week. They claim their property extends halfway to the water. Midway through our stay, new guests arrived at the house next door, and the neighbors fussed at their children while also recording them. There are always things that can be better with any house you rent but overall we were very pleased and would stay here again.
