I always love the Harbor House and the location and accessibility to the room from the beach. No waiting 5 min for elevators ! Just quick steps to this condo. I love that it has a wrap around porch and that it’s easy load and unload from stairs. We had a wonderful stay. The condo was very clean and the owners are amazing and so helpful. We will stay again!

We enjoyed our stay. We loved that you can see the pool and beach from the balcony. A huge plus that the stairs are right by the parking spot, making it easy to get unloaded and loaded. Condo is family friendly and quiet around the complex. It’s close to everything. Could walk to stores or restaurants if you wanted. Jeff and Tara were wonderful to work with and communication was excellent.

Home Away from Home

The Harbor House B17 was all we could have hoped for and more! Perfect for our family of 4! It had everything we needed to prepare meals, wash laundry, and simply relax after a day on the beach. The location to restaurants and conveniences could not be beat. Truly only steps away from the pool and beach! No crossing any roads, which was important to us with little ones. We loved the wrap around porch, where we ate meals, watched dolphins play, and read books! If you stay there, you won't be disappointed! Tara and Jeff made EVERYTHING so easy! Thank you guys so much for all the thoughtful details you put into your home and your rental process. No hassels! Left us completely open to just enjoy. And we definitely did!

This is a beautiful and cozy beach condo. Everything is neat and well-maintained. Easy parking and the pictures give an accurate description of the details provided. The beach and pool are a few steps away. Perfect location as a lot of the vacation hot spots are within a 5-mile radius. The hosts are amazing!!!!! Top notch communication, detailed instructions and most importantly (to me personally), the check-out information was extremely simple... literally two things. We will be booking this location again real soon.

Wonderful rental on beautiful Gulf Shores!

We had a fantastic stay at the Harbor House this week. The location was perfect - with a small grocery store across the street and walking distance to many different restaurants. This was our first visit to Gulf Shores and the area did not disappoint. This was one of the nicest beaches we have ever visited! The Harbor House was a great place to stay. We had plenty of room for our family of 4 and loved sitting on the porch overlooking the beach. If we ever get back to the area, we will definitely stay at Harbor House again!

Did a little quick getaway to destress while doing home renovations. Harbor House is my favorite place to stay while in Gulf Shores. Unit B17 was a great choice. Unit was really clean and very “homely”. Although it was a short visit, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others. Thanks Tara & Jeff for your hospitality and for your service during the booking and stay!

Wonderful stay, excellent hosts!

This unit's location can't be beat! Right on the beach and walking distance to several shops and restaurants. The unit was VERY well stocked with everything that you might need during your stay. We had no issues at all and loved our time away. I highly recommend the ferry to Dauphin Island for a fun way to spend the day. We also had a great experience on the Sunny Lady dolphin cruise. I would absolutely stay here again!

This was our first family beach trip and Harbor House did not disappoint. The location was fantastic and the views were spectacular! We enjoyed the comfort of the rooms. The main bedroom was spacious and the mattress was comfortable. The condo had a great kitchen with wonderful appliances including washer and dryer. We loved being so close to the beach and felt safe too. Communicating with owners was simple with quick responses. We would be happy to recommend Harbor House to anybody.
