Family Tides

We had a wonderful stay at Family Tides for spring break! The cottage was very clean, the views were beautiful, and the easy beach access was amazing. We really enjoyed our time and would definitely stay again. A couple of notes for future guests: there was some sand dredging nearby during our stay, which caused a little debris in the water, but it wasn’t disruptive and cleared up quickly. Also, while basics are provided, you’ll want to bring or order supplies like dish detergent, salt and pepper, paper goods, etc. We also recommend bringing an extra blanket if you like having one — there weren’t any spares at the house. One small thing to mention is there are a lot of family photos throughout the house, which made it feel a little less neutral as a rental. Overall, it’s a great spot for a relaxing beach getaway — we had a fantastic time!

The home was very clean, checkin was a breeze, no issues at all. Master bedroom and bathroom were nice size. Deck space and location were great! Perfect space for our family of 4!

It was very nice. Great location on the beach.

We had everything we needed, beautiful location! Very clean!

This was spacious and comfortable. Right over the doon was the ocean. The white sand and the emerald ocean was a beautiful sight to wake up to. I did a lot of fishing caught a lot of whiting, some early season pompano, and some ocean catfish while my wife searched the beach for sea shells. Over all what a wonderfull place to stay, clean, private, and comfortable, though it is mentioned there isnt any of the extras you may be used to seeing at other places so be sure to pick up coffee and T.P. for longer stays. Two thumbs up!!

Beautiful location and the views were incredible!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Family Tides and hope to return this Fall.

Family Tides was everything we didn’t know we needed. The view and having the beach just steps from the house was such a luxury - especially with young kids. No worrying about parking, packing food, or finding restrooms because you are literally a 60 second walk from house to beach. The house was the cleanest airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! Five stars all around. Not a con, but a note to future guests with kids: bring everything. Basic cleaning supplies, TP, paper towels, laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, dish soap, etc. as they provide only the bare minimum. If you are staying more than 2-3 days you will definitely need it as there are no cleaning supplies in the house at all and being on the beach things get messy quickly. Take advantage of Gulf State Park while visiting. There is a park for kids to play at and they have free bike rentals to explore the miles of paved trails. We LOVED our trip to Gulf Shores and are eagerly looking forward to our next visit!

Our stay was wonderful! Such a beautiful home! Restful, peaceful, and we can’t wait to return!

We absolutely loved this beautiful, spacious and very clean cottage. Just so amazing to be able to stay right on the beach. The back deck and views of the ocean, sunrises and sunsets couldn’t get any better. Hosts were great with very detailed instructions. Perfect and peaceful place that we very much enjoyed!

Clean, spacious, and right on the beach. We had a great time.

Great house and location.

We decided we wanted to go with a house instead of a condo due to this being our little girls first beach trip and not knowing how well she would do and I’m so glad we did we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay very clean very friendly atmosphere

My wife and I enjoyed Family Tides. You can’t get any closer to the beach, and the house was very clean. Our only suggestion would be to change the master mattress - it’s quite lumpy.

Family Tides was as described. Very clean! Very welcoming! Had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.

Family Tides was a wonderful place to stay for our family vacation to Gulf Shores. The property is in a great location, not far from restaurants & entertainment while still being quiet and peaceful. The house is very clean and well stocked. The back deck and view are perfect for your time at the beach. Book Family Tides and you won’t be disappointed! Thank you for a great stay!

Our stay was amazing. The place was beautiful and peaceful. Very easy to get inside and the home was spacious and clean. So amazing being able to stay at a family friendly vacation home right on the beach.

We had a great stay! It was very relaxing.

Family Tides is absolutely terrific. Waking up to and ending each day with that view is amazing. We had everything we needed, location was good, and the added outdoor grill for cooking was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back.

Great family place plenty of space. Great beach access!

Just steps from the beach. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets from the back deck. Perfect location for long walks on the beach. The house was squeaky clean with comfortable beds. Nice open space and family friendly. Bring your fishing gear for fun surf fishing.
