Words cannot express how thankful we are to George, Kelly, the builder, and team for making this vision a reality! We searched the entire area for the perfect wedding venue and Veranda Laguna exceeded our expectations! There are so many options for wedding/reception setup and we were most pleased with our choice. This new construction is unlike any waterfront property we have seen in this area and provided perfect accommodations for our wedding party. The entire team worked so hard to make sure we had the absolute best time. The extended family was very happy with their accommodations at the sister property across the street, The Veranda. The location of these properties is the perfect West Beach area as it is so close to town, but secluded on the busiest of weekends. We were able to enjoy the spacious oversized private beach with our Veranda stay, while having full access to Little Lagoon with Veranda Laguna. I can’t wait to bring our boat here soon to enjoy the beautiful new boat facilities! My nephew caught quite a few fish on the dock while we were all busy on wedding day:) We had about 70 in attendance and had plenty of parking and room to roam as the outdoor entertainment space here is like no other. The elevator was very helpful with our wedding supplies and we had plenty of room to fill up the spacious kitchen and butler’s pantry. The chef’s kitchen is beautifully designed with two SubZeros, an oversized Wolf gas range, icemaker, and three dishwashers. The panoramic views from Veranda Laguna are breathtaking! This home was built with intention and elegance, with every attention to perfect detail. Our family and friends enjoyed the most amazing sunsets overlooking the infinity pool while sitting by the firepit. It was truly a fairytale dream week! Please check out the website for our wedding pics as we were honored to host the first wedding at this paradise location.

The location is great. We are a group of 10 women who have been traveling to the beach for many years and we have stayed in many houses. This one is by far the best. We each had our own bedroom and bath and the beds and linens were very comfortable. The kitchen is so well equipped that we cooked and ate in every day. Each floor has a sitting area equipped with an ice maker and coffee maker outside the bedrooms. The outdoor area has lots of seating and while we did not use the pool, (weather too cool), it would be great for a dip after a day on the beach. George, Kelly, and Vacasa were great to work with. Hopefully, we can return someday.

The Veranda was a wonderful venue for our beach wedding. Our families all stayed in the house and it was perfect for our 100 person wedding. The house was like the final wedding guest on our beautiful wedding day. Highly recommend for a beach wedding.

We greatly enjoyed our stay in your home. The layout of the bedrooms and the fact that each bedroom has a private bath makes it the perfect home for multiple families to rent together.

The kitchen is well stocked – 3 dishwashers and 3 refrigerators! Since our stay was during COVID we cooked more often than we would normally while on vacation.

I love West Beach, especially where your home is located. It is well past the crowds from the condos across the street, and the private beach area was great.

We knew from the moment we saw the Veranda that it would be the perfect wedding venue for us. It was absolutely breathtaking and George was wonderful to work with. The house was very spacious and was a beautiful setting for the rehearsal dinner and reception. We had our ceremony on the beach and couldn’t have asked for a better view. I highly recommend the Veranda as your wedding venue!

This is our 2nd time at this BEAUTIFUL home. What can’t I say about this home? It is decorated so tastefully and the kitchen is stocked to the hilt. With 2 large refrigerators and a small fridge, you have plenty of space for food. The dining is wonderful and seats 25. You do not need to bring anything but your clothes and food. There is so much room in this house and the view is absolutely beautiful and refreshing. We had 22-Moms and were all very comfortable and each felt they had quiet places to go where they could unwind and relax. The living room was large enough to accommodate everyone and the area upstairs was nice for games and movies. The area is quiet yet close enough to shopping, activities, and restaurants. (Big shout out for LULU’s Restaurant. It was fun and the food and service were great! We had a wonderful time and will definitely come back!

The Veranda was the perfect space for our Rockstar Retreat with 31 women. First of all, the pictures do not do this home justice. The kitchen is HUGE with 3 dishwashers! Every bedroom is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The main living area was absolutely perfect for our large group… and the beach access, deck area… oh my word, incredible! I have to say that the owner… George is so kind. His vision for this home was beautifully manifested in the Veranda. We had an amazing week here and left with memories that will last a lifetime. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This is truly a magnificent house. We had plenty of room for our family & friends from grandchildren to senior citizens. We also had one person in our group who has significant physical challenges & the elevator that goes to all floors was the only reason she was able to join us this year because she can’t navigate stairs. Plenty of parking available on-site.

The beds & linens were all comfortable — even the twin beds were as comfortable as the master suites’, which has not been the case in other rental properties in which we’ve stayed.

The house was clean. There were plenty of starter toiletries, paper towels, dishwashing detergent, garbage bags, etc. The kitchen had all the appliances, dishes & pans we needed to cook family meals. It was great to have 2 refrigerators. The 2 dishwashers cleaned the dishes well & were super quiet. There was plenty of storage areas in the house for our family’s belongings. The WiFi worked well for our “tech-connected” family. Our grandson had no problems staying connected on his Fortnite game with his friends back home. The large TV in the living room had a clear, crisp picture & the surround sound in the living room was a real plus. There were TVs in the bedrooms with great picture & sound so you could watch something else or listen to music to escape from family togetherness if you desired.

The view of the white sand & ocean is quite beautiful particularly from the kitchen, dining area & back decks. We walked most days along the boardwalk & in the neighborhood enjoying the outdoors & the beach. The Fort Morgan location is about 20 minutes from Gulf Shores but the drive is not difficult & for all the benefits you get of a quiet, uncrowded, beautiful beach & the upscale amenities of the house; it’s totally worth it.

The owner, George, was a pleasure to work with & it was a bonus to have the company who manages it for him, Meyer’s Realty staff, available 24/7 if we needed anything. The few maintenance issues that arose were dealt with promptly & George stayed in contact with us to ensure everything was resolved to our satisfaction.

I highly recommend this house for a memorable, enjoyable beach vacation experience.
