We just returned from an amazing family vacation and I have to say that Costa Verde was the perfect house for our 11 family members! We had 6 adults and 5 children and never felt crowded. While the house was spacious it was still very cozy and easy to get around in - while giving each of us our own space. The furnishings were very nice as was the color scheme. The kitchen was accommodating as we cooked breakfast every morning - a total of 6 - and 3 dinners. It was well stocked and the wet bar was a nice addition. The bar and fridge area upstairs allowed us to stock kids drinks and snacks for them close to their rooms. While there are no pics of the bathrooms rest assured they are nice and accommodating. The one shared upstairs is perfect as each bedroom has it's own sink and countertop they only share the shower and toilet. The small bunk area was perfect for our 11 year old who loves his own space. The views from the decks were amazing and the quick easy access to the beach was unbelievable! We've stayed in a condo and another house both on the beach - but Costa Verde is truly right on the beach with a private walk straight to the water ! We didn't feel like we had to pack for the day as we could walk back to the house for a sandwich or to restock our drinks. Also a plus is the easy access to stores restaurants etc. Only 3 miles from The Hangout and the Dollar General Store for quick shopping.

I might also add the beds were comfy . We had plenty of hot water for showers and the a/c kept the house very cool.

In addition the owner, Melissa, was very helpful from the moment we booked throughout our trip.

Costa Verde received a unanimous vote as our place of choice for our next visit to Gulf Shores!
