LOOK AT ME!!!!! Brand New Construction. , Gulf Shores, Alabama Vacation Rental by Owner

We had the best beach vacation at this house! It is absolutely beautiful and the hosts have absolutely everything you could ever want to feel at home. I went with my two young children on our first vacation with just us and I felt very safe in this gated community. I loved sitting on the deck and listening to the waves at night. There are beautiful views of the bay. Every turn you make in this house is just as amazing as the next! Each room feels like a master bedroom- they are huge! I can not even tell you my favorite spot in the house. The living room has amazing windows and huge ceiling with a comfortable sitting area, the kitchen is organized very well and makes you enjoy cooking up a good meal, counter top table to eat is so inviting for everyone, the deck furniture is absolutely perfect, the showers make you feel luxurious, and the beds are so comfortable and plenty of space, the garage is huge, TWO beach wagons to use for convenience, washer/dryer upstairs and downstairs, plenty of space for everyone. The list goes on, seriously! I absolutely loved my coffee while my kids loved to eat at the adorable kids table on the deck every morning. The color scheme and decor it’s absolutely relaxing. I can not say enough. We are already planning more vacations here. Thank you for a wonderful stay and amazing response time to every question we ever had before, during, and after our vacation. So excited to go back!

Calista was everything we could have asked for! A beautiful home with every little detail thought out for our stay. The porch swings were an amazing touch along with everything we needed and then some. We cannot wait until next time!

Callista is the perfect home away from home for a getaway. The house is far enough from town to give you the private beach experience yet close enough to town for restaurants and night life. Justin and Stephanie have thought about everything when it comes to this house. This is our second time vacationing in their home and we look forward to coming back.

Callista was the perfect home for a couples vacation getaway. Tons of space for indoor or outdoor fun with friends. The porch swings and swinging chairs are a fabulous touch. The whole house is bright, clean, and tastefully decorated. The gated community felt welcoming. The private beach, fishing pier, pool, and tennis court allowed us hours of fun. Sandy Properties thought of everything in designing and stocking this home. This was our first visit to Callista. We will be back year after year!

Calista was beautiful. The owners are very friendly and offer many amenities from toiletries to beach items and cart to haul them. Enclosed parking a plus. Beautiful views. Great pool and easy beach access. Thank you for making the beach even better!

Callista was the perfect place for a girls getaway!! The house is new with plenty of amenities. Lots of space for a family vacation. The owners have thought of everything to make your vacation special. Just a short walk to the beach or fishing pier. We will be back!!

We has such a wonderful time staying at this beach house. I would highly recommend this to anyone. They had everything you could possibly need for vacation. We are super excited to go back next year!!!

Callista was our home away from home. Everything about the vacation, from booking it to coming home was amazing. The owners are fantastic. The house is perfect in all kinds of ways. There are so many convenient features at the house. A couple things we loved were the ice machine, extra fridge for drinks, outdoor shower and hose to clean off. The beach is a short walk. The community pool, tennis court, basketball were all great additions. If you are looking for a great place to stay, this is your place. We made such great memories. Look forward to coming back next year.

We were the first guests in this new rental. A beautiful view from every window! Very relaxing & quiet!

First, we booked last minute and Sandy Properties went above and beyond to help us! Then the condo was terrific. It literally had everything my family needed-3 bedroom, 2 bath, chairs & toys for the beach, a grill, you name it. It is a couple blocks from the beach, but we drove down and there was plenty of parking. We loved our time there!

Justin & Stephanie Schnitker's reply:

JT thanks for the awesome review. We are glad you had a great trip and hopefully will be able to come again!!

My daughters and I had an amazing vacation stay! Very relaxing and close to the beach and restaurants! The vacation house was home away from home!

I had a good experience with my stay. Everything was clean and tidy. The view from the balcony was so pretty! There is a lot of fun activities nearby. The location is very convenient for shopping, dining and a short walk to the beach! I highly recommend this to everyone!

My family just returned from a great four night stay at the facility. It is a beautiful place that is well stocked with the amenities needed to stay there. It is located a reasonable walk or a very short drive from the best public beach in Gulf Shores. I would not hesitate to return or recommend it to another.

The duplex is wonderful! Close to the beach and many great eating places, some we walked to! We had meals on the balcony when we ate at home, the kitchen is fully stocked with all needed utensils if you choose to cook. Quiet, great night’s sleep, all the linens, TV’s in every room, little extras like shampoo, body wash, etc, etc. provided. Your vehicle can be parked under roof. All couldn’t have been better. Owners are so kind and easy to work with, good communication. We highly recommend.

House was clean and fully stocked for extended stay. Easy check-in, check-out. Good communication. Goodie bag of snacks, etc..,upon arrival. The small details mean everything.

We really enjoyed our stay at this Beach house! It is very clean and is decorated very nice. It has an open floor plan that is great for families. It is in walking distance to so many restaurants and close to the Gulf Shores nightlife. The beach is only a couple blocks away. It may not be walking distance for families with small children, but the public beaches have parking that does not cost very much. I would definitely recommend this house for anyone looking to visit the Gulf Shores area. We plan to go back again!

Located in a very nice neighborhood close to the beach. Several attractions and excellent restaurants are within walking distance. Price was extremely reasonable for all that it included. The house was clean and well organized. The internet connection was fast and good cable on TV for all the after-beach downtime. We went with family and had a full house, but he hot water for showers never ran low! Beach itself was fantastic, just as good or better than you would expect in FL, Carolinas, etc. We can’t wait until our next visit!

The house and area where beautiful. The house was clean and inviting. The beach was close and easy to get to. My grandsons loved it there they wanted to stay for the rest of summer. Everything was within easy distance. Stephanie and Justin where very friendly and helpful. We couldn’t ask for a better vacation

We rented the home for 7 nights. Very clean upon arrival and there were plenty of kitchen supplies to cook what I wanted. Cupboards are loaded with dishes and the bathrooms had enough towels for everyone. There were even beah towels and beach supplies such as chairs, an umbrella, cooler, and toys to save us packing space. We had no problems with the wifi connection and the channels available on cable were enough to entertain us when we were home. The beach is less than a mile walk and there are plenty of restaurants and shopping venues within walking distance as well.

My wedding party and I rented the condo the weekend of our event. We were booking a little last minute, but the owners were extremely fast in responding to our initial inquiry and then they were very prompt in answering any follow up questions we had. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach, and it’s by so many neat restaurants. The rental is really spacious, has a lovely porch to relax on, nice sized bedrooms and it’s decorated really nicely. There is also a shed with things for beach visits and grilling! It was our first time in Gulf Shores and I would absolutely stay here again when we go back. Thanks for a great experience!
