The perfect vacation home

Review Submitted: April 3, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2007
This summer we will spend our fifth summer vacation at Almost Heaven on the Beach. It is absolutely the perfect vacation home! We have been going each year since our youngest was 20-months-old and she will be six this summer. The home provides everything you will need - a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living area and spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds plenty of closet/drawer space. There is even a pack-n-play crib and high chair which we took advantage of the first couple of years and my 2-year-old nephew now uses. While preparing meals in the kitchen, you look directly out on the gulf through the huge bay window in the living area. Being directly on the beach means that we can come and go as we please and we can walk down the beach to The Beach Club when the girls want to swim in the pool. I especially love sitting on the beach-front deck that spans the back of the home and reading in the morning and after the kids have gone to bed. Nothing beats the sounds of the surf after dark! The beach is quiet and even during the heat of the summer (we go in July) you never have to worry about smacking someone with a frisbee! We enjoy the seclusion of the Fort Morgan area, but also like having plenty of options nearby when we want to get out and explore. There are lots of great restaurants and shopping just a few miles away. But back to the house - if you are looking for a great home with lots of ammenities, this is the place! We eagerly await our annual vacation and feel as if we are walking into our "second home" when we arrive.

Want to just drop of the rush of life? We did!

Review Submitted: September 2, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
What a wonderful get away. No oil in the water, weather perfect and the house was just perfect for our family. Our grown sons and family's came, lay out was great. Beds SO comfy, kitchen well supplied. Views from the house are super. We enjoyed everything from having our morning coffee on the deck to home made ice cream in the evening. So easy just to wander down the beach to eat, swim, spa since we house visitors have access to it. The pictures here do not do this home justice. We felt like we were home. We are planning to come again and again. So much nicer than a condo with people and rules on top of you.

"Almost Heaven" is the perfect description!

Review Submitted: July 23, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
After years of staying in large condos in Gulf Shores, we decided for a change of pace and contacted the owners of Almost Heaven. I was so glad that we did! Our crew consisted of 2 seniors, 2 adults, 2 teens, and 1 toddler. It was perfect for each and every one of us. The house was beautiful inside and out. There were games and puzzles in every closet. There were supplies that we may have forgotten to pack. There was a washer and dryer that we made good use of. There were beach floats and toys of all shapes and sizes. There were videos and dvds as well as satellite and saved movies on tv. There was a grill and patio furniture...just to name a few things. There was no hustle-bustle of a busy tourist area. It was like our own private get-away! Within walking distance, there was the beach club that not only had swimming and tennis areas, but activities planned for all ages every day. I never had to worry about my teens and there was plenty for my parents, my husband and me, and my youngest to do. We had so much fun grilling out every night that we never wanted to leave and go to a restaurant even though there were plenty of them nearby! Finally, the owner of Almost Heaven treated us like a good friend, even though we had never met and I will never forget her. My entire family agrees that we will only stay at Almost Heaven when we plan another vacation to the beach!

Almost Heaven? Our week was pure Heaven!

Review Submitted: February 3, 2010 Date of Stay: October 2009
I have found Utopia, and its name is Almost Heaven on the Beach. The location is perfect, private but convenient to everything we needed. The house is beautiful, and my eyes were constantly drawn to the southern bank of windows and the Gulf of Mexico right at my feet. My dad and my husband took over the rocker/recliners, while mom and I enjoyed long beach walks with the kids. We hunted sandcrabs at night, cooked fish and shrimp in the well appointed kitchen, and had the best night's sleep ever after long days in the sun. I started my day on the spacious front deck, lounging with a book, my coffee, and surprising dolphin shows! They did not just swim by, they would play for thirty minutes at a time right in the front "yard." When the guys wanted to watch sports, they were pleased with the flat screen in the den, and everyone had tvs in their bedrooms for those who wished to forego sports:). We ate out a few nights (DeSoto's is GREAT), and played cards, dominoes, and board games almost every night, all supplied in the house. We never used the movie library, and we brought our own books, but both of those were available as well. I have never been one to covet, but I have to say that leaving our beach house was tough. To say I am looking forward to our next visit is an understatement. I am counting the days until our next vacation at Almost Heaven on the Beach.

Everything as Promised

Review Submitted: May 19, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The location is definitely right on the beach. If we weren't lounging on the beach or playing in the surf, we were watching the dolphins frolic while we sat on the deck! The house contained everything we needed from wireless internet, TV's with DVR, plates, cups, coffeemaker, towels and even games and books. We will definitely return. Maybe even bring the grandkids next time.
