Property had great beach access and that section of beach was not crowded. Communication was excellent with property managers. The house could use some maintenance, but nothing that would keep us from renting again.

Love the decor! Not your typical preppy decoration theme. The location was directly on the beach. It was super secluded. Very clean and simple. Super pet friendly. I slept like a log!

Thanks for letting us stay at your property!

Great spot. Little smaller than expected. Clean and cool. Downstairs bath sink is tiny is only thing i can say negative.

We had an overall amazing stay. The easy access to the beach and pool was amazing. The kids loved catching the little sand crabs at night. The air conditioner took a while to cool off during the day and at night but by the time morning came the place was cold! We will definitely stay at Summer of 42 again.

The house is right on the beach that is beautiful during sunny and also cloudy days! While the house has a large open concept kitchen/dining/living room, there is plenty of rooms to go to when needing to rest. Thanks, we had a great time!

Even though we only got to stay 2 nights due to Hurricane Sally, our brief stay was clean, nice and enjoyable. Harris Properties was responsive and informational regarding evacuation due to Hurricane Sally. And kept me up to date of everything I needed for our vacation. We will use Harris Properties again. Thank you.

Had a great time.

by Andy
We had such a wonderful time at Summer of 42! We had no idea how nice it would be to walk right out of the house and be on the beach. No dragging coolers, towels, sunscreen, tents, etc. Our kids played outside the entire time and just came in side when needed. The pool was very conveinent too! The beach was not crowded at all, we were able to see so many fish and crabs. The house was spacious and clean. We will be back for another relaxing break!

We had a great stay with two families. Very roomy, right off the beach, good parking for 2-3 vehicles. A little close to neighbors but you still have privacy. 1/2 of a mile from a market.

My family and I loved this property. It was clean and well maintained. There was everything we needed to cook with. The beach was the best, stepping right off the front porch to the beach. Since it was private it wasn't crowded, even though gulf shores was very crowded that week. The pool was great and a great way to relax at the end of the day on the beach. Just overall a fantastic experience. When we come back will definitely look at this property to rent again.

Easter Cookout
by Eleanor
We loved Sumer of 42! SO many wonderful memories made. We enjoyed fishing, walks on the beach, swimming in the pool, hiking local trails and never missed a sunset! A shrimp boil for Easter lunch will be our new family tradition. The house has it all-lots of room, fully equipped kitchen and a deck we loved spending time on. Cannot wait to go back!

Perfect Getaway
by Adam
This rental was exactly what we needed for a quick getaway. It was clean, spacious, and well-stocked for all your cooking needs. Being right on the water is a huge bonus with a family of fishermen. This is definitely somewhere we would stay again and recommend to others.

Breathtaking and beautiful
by Tabitha
This house was fantastic! We only had 7 guests and plenty of room for more. The house was clean upon arrival and was fully stocked with all of our needs. Having a washer and dryer was nice to bring home clean clothes. Breathtaking views of the extremely beautiful beach and we loved how secluded it was. I highly recommend this property to groups who are looking for a quite, scenic time but are just a short drive to all the entertainment and amenities. I will stay again!!

Great Stay!!
by Rebecca
Rented the house for all of November and thoroughly enjoyed my stay!! Weather was perfect most all of the month. Everything about the house was "as advertised". The beds were very comfortable, the view was awesome (right on the beach), and the Blue Angels provided several days of viewing pleasure! Will be renting this house again!!

Beautiful Home
by Heather
The beach house was beautiful and very spacious. The beach area was very secluded and private, not many people were there. The only complaint I would have is the tub backed up pretty bad so by the end of your shower you were standing in a little more than ankle deep in water. We did not report this issues as it was not anything too major. Also for the price you pay for a weekend is a little high to get less than 48 hours in the beach house. Otherwise we were very pleased with the house and the location.
Note from the manager: The drains can quickly get clogged to do excess sand in them. Next time you stay with us please let us know about the issue and we can handle it quickly for you. Thanks for staying with us, Brian Harris

Entire family had a blast!
by Charles
Accommodations were great and entire family had a blast. Thank you for a wonderful week-end with my family. Everyone said that they wanted to return but they wanted a longer stay next time. The 3 grand girls really enjoyed the pool even if it was a little cool and had to remove sand crabs once. We love the fact that is was not on the main strip and was very quiet. We hope to visit you again and thank you for everything.

Summer of '42
by Jo and Jack
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Summer of 42. We celebrated our 25th anniversary while we were there and loved the house, fully equipped kitchen and the closeness to the water's edge. The insides were very clean and spacious. From the deck we could watch the sunrise and sunsets and there was a full moon that added to peace and quiet we were looking for. We saw dolphins everyday swimming up and down in front of us. The beauty of the area was so relaxing (which we needed the rest and quiet atmosphere this place provided) we did not want to leave. The only negative thing we could say was the windows weren't very clean and we didn't get a clear view of the water. But we sat on the deck which provided great views and the sound of waves so the windows were a minor problem. We will definitely come back there and next time may bring friends or some family with us because there is definitely enough room. Thanks for suggesting this place for us.

Summer of 42 - Fall Break Relaxation!
by Ryan
We stayed for a week during our daughter's fall break with a set of grandparents and our dog. We had an amazing time, perfect weather and the house was more than adequate. Plenty of room, private, quiet and incredible location. If I could change one thing it would be a new sofa and love seat - not very comfortable. This was a very minor detail since we were outside every waking hour. Highly recommended!!! We'll be booking again!

Perfect Beach House off the beaten path, Love AL!
by Jen
This was our first trip to AL. The beaches here are gorgeous! White sand. Beautiful. Drove from TX and it was worth the time on the road! Only con: no seashells on this beach - should've ordered some I guess (lol). House is right on the beach...only one closer to the water visible anywhere. Great location.
The house was comfortable and attractive. Upstairs bedrooms stayed cool if you shut the doors. Large ceiling fans and a well-powered AC kept everyone comfortable. Downstairs bathroom a bit small but serviceable. Appliances all worked quite well.
I'd give the downstairs beds a 7 out of 10. Will probably need an update soon. Same for the living room couches.
There were only four in our group but the house was set up to keep many more quite comfortable. Large dining table. Big porch with lots of seating.
A broken blind...rough molding here and there. But I loved the whitewashed beach decor.
Yolanda was a lifesaver! I got stuck in the sand (long story, stupid decision moment) and she called someone for me to pull me out (for a fee). He was very nice and thank you again Yolanda!
House location is pretty remote. Very quiet area of beach. There was a house next door so close folks on one porch can hear conversations on the other.
Pool was a wonderful plus! It's on the other side of the house next door but super close and my girls loved it. It's a 3' to 5' pool. Nice for cooling off and splashing around.
Gulf Shores area is about 20 minutes down a two lane road. Lots of restaurants and souvenir shops and entertainment there. And groceries.
We really enjoyed our stay here and the Fort Morgan area!

2nd January stay, last year Wall Street next to Summer of 42. Perfect beach location, very private, beautiful area. Enjoyed our stays very much, will return. Mr. Harris was very quick in dealing with my complaints about minor problems, and repairs where completed. Had friends down both years, and all had a great time.

Great beach house! Perfect Location
by M
This 4 bedroom house was a perfect beach house! It was located right on the beach with beautiful views of the gulf. A very open floor plan that made everyone feel included no matter where you were in the house. There were 4 bedrooms & a room with a bunk bed. Full kitchen with everything you would need to never leave the house...it's like having your own private beach! NO CROWDS AT ALL!! It's in a very non-commercial area so if that's what you want, it's perfect!

Great Visit
by Crazy Cajun
The 4 bedroom bunk room provided everyone plenty of space and a nice view of the gulf. We had everything we needed. It is right on the beach and provided a very relaxing stay. It has 3 other rentals next door so we're thinking about a big family gathering next year. We'd certainly return and recommend the Summer of '42.
