Our family loves this property. It's quiet and private yet close enough to town if you want to venture out. The screened in porch is a plus. The only negatives are the twin mattresses are not very comfortable and we wish there was a board walk over to the beach. However, those things did not stop us from rebooking a 2nd time.
Even though it was for a short 4 days and the weather wasn’t perfect ~ we had the best time! Just the right place to relax and enjoy the sounds and sights of the beach with our family. Our best trip to the beach in a very long time ♥️
Stayed at Howard’s Ranch . The house is beautiful, well stocked and equipped. The house sets right on the beach and has spectacular views . It does have a dune that is rather difficult to climb to get to the water . That is the ONLY negative . The beds were VERY comfortable. Easy check in and out. Very close to amenities. Would definitely recommend.
Came with our three adult children and their spouses or significant others. Loved the location and the set up of the house. This was our third time visiting Gulf Shores and was our best vacation yet.
Perfect week at the beach! House was just as advertised. Clean and well stocked. Location is great, we had so much beach all to ourselves! Family wants to come back to this same house again next year!
We stayed at Howard Ranch and had the best time. It was our 5th annual girls trip and we loved everything about the house the location and especially the front porch. We are already planning our stay for next year once again at Howard Ranch.
I loved the area. Far enough away from the crowds to have your own little quiet piece of beach. The house was very nice and the beds comfy. I got a very prompt reaponse when I had a question. The only thing I would change is adding a boardwalk to the beach. The dune is a little tough on old bones but we had a fabulous time. We'll be back.
Howard Ranch in Gulf Shores,AL is the best place to enjoy the beach on the gulf!!
Great beachhouse with great uncrowded beach location. Does have a big sand dune to pull you beach cart over, but no rental is going to be perfect. All of my family had a great time and definitely would rent again. Ed
