Thank you for letting us stay at Shep’s Ahoy! The house was beautiful, close to the beach, and served our needs.

Just got back from trip. Property was as described, clean when we checked in, process was easy. Could be listed as beachfront (almost), you can sit on the front porch and look through the two beachfront houses and see the ocean. Easy to walk (maybe 75 yards or so?) to the beachfront. Quiet neighborhood. Also, this was my first rental that I did NOT have to purchase a barbecue grill (place had a decent sized one in good condition). Only cons were issues with cable / internet throughout the entire stay (until one day before we left); made it difficult/impossible for work meetings and movie viewing at night. (hopefully the 2 visits completely solved the issues for the owners and next guests).Property management was prompt in responding when we called/messaged and the person they sent was nice and was able to fix issues (door sticking and a window that wouldn't close after a storm) quickly and efficiently. If you want a laid back, chill on the beach vacation, this area is great.

We definitely recommend staying with Harris Vacations. The booking was incredibly easy, their instructions on check in and out were very clear and we absolutely loved the house. The location, house, and price were all perfect and exactly what we wanted for our vacation. Our family of 3 stayed at Sheps Ahoy with our friends who are also a family of 3. We had plenty of room and never felt crowded. The location was great and the view was even better. We were steps from the beautiful white sand beach and completely enjoyed our stay. The beach was NEVER crowded and we had a ton of room to wander. This will be an unforgettable vacation thanks to Harris Vacations!

We loved the location and amenities of this beach house. Perfect for our mini family reunion. Only recommendation is to provide more toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, dw detergent, and trash bags. It is tough being on vacation when you have to run to the store for household essentials. One roll of toilet paper and paper towels, and two trash bags are not enough for an 8 bedroom house. Other than that, we loved avery minute! Highly recommend this property!

My family loved our stay here. The little path to the beach was perfect for our 4 kiddos and we couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful and laid back beach experience. The appliances were a bit dated and difficult to work with and the outside shower didn’t work so we just used the hose, but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to vacation in Gulf Shores!

Nice house at a great location. Steps away from the beach and steps away from Sassy Bass restaurant and market.

We visited Sheps Ahoy back in June of this year. My family of 4 along with friends of ours that also had 2 kids. We LOVED the location of the home with how close we were to the beach. The drive into town to all the restaurants was a little aggravating but we didn't mind it to much. This was our first visit to Gulf Shores so we didn't really know what to expect. The house had plenty of room. The only complaint we have is that the TVs in the bedrooms especially the bunk room are EXTREMELY small. The beds slept good. We had plenty of parking and covered storage space. We also wish we had checked out the local restaurants earlier than the night before we left. Thank you again to Harris Vacations for helping us book the perfect house for group! We will definitely be using you again.

The house was located perfectly right across the street from the beach. It had a unobstructed view of the beach and ocean. It was fun that the Sassy Bass was within walking distance and you didn’t have to get on major road to go to the market. The house was clean and set up nicely. The house has a great layout.

We had a great stay here. The property was just as advertised, spacious, and comfortable. Be aware that there are no spices or kitchen basics like you find at some rental properties, and you need to bring your own corkscrew if you plan to drink wine. These are not criticisms, just FYIs.

We had a wonderful time at this property. It was roomy and nicely decorated. We loved the view! There were plenty of beach toys and a wagon in the shed as well. The only con was the master bed was terribly uncomfortable.

House was nice and clean and a short walk to the water. Beds had comfy mattresses. Could use more dresser space in 2 rooms. Fort Morgan is a laid back area 20 minutes away from the touristy Gulf Shores. Great family vacation spot.

The house was just as described, and just steps away from the beach which made it easy to go back to house and get a snack or whatever we had forgotten.The Lawn Chairs on the front pouch could be nicer and also taller where when you sit out there you can actually see the beach and not the rails on the front pouch, and also for older adults that have trouble getting up and down these chairs are hard to get back up due to being on the short side.. The kitchen could also use some update on supplies, which wasn't a problem for us due to eating sandwiches at lunch and going out to eat in the evening. I would definitely stay here again and my Grandkids and Daughters loved the location and the short walk to the beach!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Shep's Ahoy last week. The proximity to the beach was amazing. We were happy to find all the water toys and grill available for our use. The house was very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the rocking chair in the living room as we had our 12 week old grandson with us who loves to be rocked. We will most definitely choose Harris Vacation Rentals again!

property was lovely and very clean. mattress in master was not the most comfortable ever, but servicable. management company provided a wonderful list of suggested items to bring. was disappointed that there were NO hangers in any closet and no hair dryer - those items were not on the list to bring and to be honest, I did expect those items to be included. But could not ask for a better location, walk out to the beach. secluded street and mostly quiet - except for the construction next door. That would have been nice to know about in advance but didn't terribly take away from our enjoyment of the property.

Great Family Vacation

by Kathy
We really enjoyed Sheps Ahoy! The house was beautiful and very clean. Just a few steps to the beach which made it very easy for my husband who has a bad knee. The living room and kitchen are very open which was very nice for our large group to enjoy each other! Loved the location of this house! We will definitely stay here again!

More like hidden treasure!

by Lynn
This property was great for our weekend getaway. Super private location but still 15-20 minutes from town. Honestly this beachouse was actually better in person then shown in the pictures. View off the front porch was beautiful and a short walk to the beach which was practically empty. I was concerned about the driveway based on other reviews but it wasn't a problem at all. Communication between management was great. There was a charcoal grill left by someone on-site and make sure to bring bug spray.

We had a few days and found availability at Shep's Ahoy. The house had been updated since the pictures online with a new fridge, flooring, paint, and a few fixtures. The management was responsive and helpful. The house was clean when we arrived. It cooled down quickly. We had quick access to the Gulf. Had a great time. We'd rent this location again!

Great Time in Fort Morgan

by Travis
We have stayed in several beach houses in the Fort Morgan area. The check-in and check-out process at this one was probably the easiest of any we've ever stayed in! The location is really good... right across a deadend street from the beach. There is no beach house in front of the home so you get a direct view of the beach! The house was very clean and everything went as good as we could have wanted.

by Tiff
Absolutely wonderful stay! Our Orlando trip was cancelled due to the COVD19. We booked this home last minute & this was hands down the most relaxing & best trip we have ever taken. Beautiful views, quiet, everything we possibly needed minutes away. We will be returning here yearly! Amazing deal on an amazing stay.

Will stay again!

by Kristin
Great location! Great house! The only negative was that the owner needs to maintain the driveway better. There were tons of sand on it and we had to use four-wheel drive to get in and out. BUT, that wasn't a problem for us. We will be staying there again!

Clean and well kept!

by Stefanie
House was clean and well kept! The deck gave the kiddos a few splinters but other than that, no other complaints. I would say this house was practically beachfront property without a house in front of it obstructing it's view!
