Family Vaca
LOVED our stay! Quite golf cart community with multiple pools, gym, tennis court, and beautiful tropical landscaping. The house and furnishings were very comfortable and felt like home. The beach was not overcrowded like Gulf Shores can get. With the nature reserve being next to the neighborhood, you could take a short walk down the beach to feel alone. There were chairs and lots of beach toys to use, but you will need to bring beach towels and a tent. There is a dollar store just outside the neighborhood that is very convenient for beach things and small groceries. While the house looks like it may be far away from the beach, it was a very quick and easy golf cart ride or bike ride away, and there is cart and bike parking right at the beach entrance. We really enjoyed it and will definitely stay here again!

We booked this home last minute and it was perfect. Clean, spacious, private in the back. Very nice screened in porch plus deck. Perfect for us and 3 adult children. Lots of toys in garage for beach, chairs and gulf cart. Property has two really nice pools and great gulf beach access. We enjoyed our stay.

The house was great! The kitchen & main tub faucets leaked. The house looked like we were the first people to be there in awhile and could use a deep clean. We will be back later this year! Loved the beach toys and such! Directions for using the TV would be helpful but it kept us off the TV for most of the visit!

Wonderful experience
The house was delightful and exceeded our expectations! The house was very clean inside and out. We had Plenty of room for a family of 4 to stretch out. The kitchen offered nearly everything needed to cook with regards pots/pans/silverware/utensils. Rooms were comfortable and our children enjoyed the TV’s in each room when we weren’t at the beech or pool. The indoor/outdoor pool near the house was a huge hit for our kids. The beach was absolutely beautiful and clean. The property sits next to the wildlife preserve so the beach has never crowded. We didn’t use the pool next to the beach but it was a popular hangout for most families. The golf cart was a huge bonus and a hit with the kids, it made going to the pool and beach easy and fun! The neighborhood is truly amazing and very quiet and peaceful! We will absolutely plan our next family beach vacation at this neighborhood and this house!

Wonderful vacation - we are in love with Gulf Shores!
The house is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in a gated, private resort community and was perfect for my family! We had four adults and children ranging in age from 3 to 11 years old. The house is a lot bigger and more updated than the photos reflect - everyone had all the space they needed. With a covered front porch, open back deck, and screen-in back porch, there were plenty of spaces to choose from for hanging out, eating meals, and relaxing outside. For the cooks, the kitchen was by far the best equipped than any rental I've stayed in. We had every dish, pot, pan, and utensil we needed for preparing meals, and plastic cups and dishes for the younger kids. There is a large flat screen TV in the spacious living room and smaller flat screens in all the bedrooms. The wifi worked great and the TVs are capable of streaming your favorite channels. There are a lot of board games, cards, and puzzles for indoor fun. The garage was full of beach and pool toys, floats, chairs, bikes, etc. for guests to use, and the biggest hit of all - a golf cart! The neighborhood was quiet and the pools and private beach access were only a 2-3-minute golf cart or car ride away if you're hauling stuff, but it is very walkable too. One pool (our favorite!) is at the end of the boardwalk and overlooks the beach with plenty of seating in the sun and in shaded areas. The indoor/outdoor pool was nice too and both pools have tables and chairs for eating. The main Gulf Shores Parkway and public beaches are a 15-20 minute drive offering shopping and lots of fun things to do. There is also a brand new Dollar General right beside the resort neighborhood which was unlike any I've ever seen offering food staples, some fresh produce, beer and wine, and a good variety of beach stuff. It was so nice having a variety store so close for quick trips for snacks, ice, beverages, and little things we/the kids needed. The property host clearly put a lot of thought, care, and attention into creating a beach vacation home that is very well suited for families and children. This was our first visit to Gulf Shores, AL and we all had an amazing week and were already planning on coming back next year by day two!

Oasis next to wildlife preserve
We enjoyed our stay at this large, open, well-equipped house. The back porch is feet away from the Bon Secour Wildlife Preserve and is very private. The golf cart makes trips to the beach easy. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath was great for grandma, grandpa, son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.

As a family of grandparents, parents and wee babes, we were pleasantly surprised by the easy living provided at Tropical Haven. The home is spacious and located in a beautiful resort. A golf cart, pool chairs, and beach toys were provided for our use. The proximity to the beach and two pools offered daily options. We truly enjoyed celebrating a first birthday in this special place! We hope to return one day to create more memories. I definitely recommend staying at this location.

Martinique on the Gulf - Tropical Haven
Property Manager was excellent and very helpful! It was an extremely easy check-in and check-out. Property was excellent for our family, and better equipped than any we’ve rented. Only problem was parking. Very much a hassle with two cars and wanting to use the golf cart. You can’t park a car on the street, golf cart is in garage, and driveway is only single car width. You’ll spend great portion of your vacation jockeying cars around.

This property has great amenities and there are two pools (one in the neighborhood part with indoor/outdoor pool perfect for small kids out of the sun and one closer to the beach and condos), two great boardwalks making the gulf just a close walk through the sand, a golf cart for easy access to everything, and plenty of room with a screened in porch perfect for hanging out. We traveled with our 15 month old and our friend had her 13 month old and it was well setup to handle all of it. Will be coming back for sure!!

Amazing stay
This house was fantastic. It was much more spacious than we anticipated, and fit our family of 6 very comfortably. Everything was well stocked, from kitchen gadgets to towels and basic toiletries. We bought groceries and were set, all the cooking utensils we could need were there. So many thoughtful touches as well, such as beach toys and chairs, grill, bikes, and golf cart. The community feels extremely safe and family friendly; my kids loved the freedom to ride bikes around the neighborhood. Very little traffic, most guests seem to bike, walk, or golf cart around the community. No problems at all using the golf cart to get to the pools and beach. Also noticed all other guests were respectful of one another (observed quiet hours, supervised their kids, etc). Convenient location away from the touristy part of Gulf Shores, just about 10-15 minute easy drive to be in the center of town. We had great communication from check in to check out. We hope to return, it was wonderful!!

We had a wonderful time!
The house was perfect for our family! My son cooked dinner almost every night, the kitchen had everything he needed. My daughter in law likes foo foo coffee, so she wished there was a Keurig coffee machine, but like so many things when you are on vacation, you go with the flow. The golf cart was the best! Sometimes it took us two trips to get everything to the beach that the kids wanted, so the cart was terrific to have. There was an issue with the washing machine, but in two days it was replaced! I call that good service! We loved the porch swing! It was a great place to sit in the mornings with the kids and just talk. What things you can learn from children by just spending quiet time and listening to them! I only have one little negative, and this would not keep us from returning to this wonderful home. I read this in another review also. It is about the floors. The floors could have been much cleaner. I feel like someone who really knows how to clean needs to get in there and do a major mopping! Let me reiterate this is a minor negative, we would go back to this home in a heartbeat! If you and your family are planning a trip to Gulf Shores area, this home, the beach and the pools are perfect for families!
