We love this property

We always stay at Gulf Shore Surf and Racquet Club when we are in Gulf Shores. The pool is great and the access to the beach is wonderful. We like the location because it is away from all the traffic. This unit it well stocked, nicely decorated and has a great view of the beach. It is a great option for a couple wanting to get away. We will be back.

Best of Both Worlds

Loved the location, room, access to bay and ocean. My favorite thing was to come back from the beach and spend additional time on balcony with chaise lounger. I actually read a whole book. Next time I’ll bring the spouse to fish the bay!

Great Stay!!

I loved the condo. Balcony faces ocean. It was very clean with smart Tv in bedroom and living room. However, in order to watch tv you have to have your own netflix account or Amazon Prime and it's slow. But you do have cable. Everything was great and can't wait to stay again next year.

Nice stay

The location is directly across from the beach access so it was easy to get to and that was nice. One elevator did make a funny noise once in a while but it seemed to be in good working order. I would recommend to bring Damp Rid. This condo holds moisture and the floors will be wet with out it. Other than that, It was a nice place to stay.

Location was nice. Only one operational elevator during our stay. Room was very small. Property was clean, but there did appear to be some kind of mold on the cieling. Beach access was nice but the beach is very narrow in this location. Overall not a terrible stay but wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone I know for the cost.

Overall, our stay was okay, but there were a few issues that impacted our experience.We lost power for about four hours one evening because the dishwasher and dryer were running at the same time. While the property manager eventually resolved it after several calls, it was not ideal during spring break. We were told to not use use the dryer again until they figured it out. The AC unit was also inconsistent, set at 70, it would swing from very cold to very warm. Lastly, both the bed and sleeper sofa were uncomfortable. We ended up leaving a day earlier because of all the issues.We loved the location and we appreciated th responsiveness, but these issues should be addressed to improve future guests’ stays.

Won’t stay there again.

Communication was poor with property management. The “new” elevator stopped working second day we were there. Mold on the ceiling in the living area. Sliding glass door would not lock. Washer and dryer did not work well. At least 2 cycles each time to clean and dry.

Upon arrival at Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club, I took off my sandals and immediately noticed a considerable amount of sand on floors. No broom was available, so I wet a face cloth and wiped a small area in main room and it was filthy with dirt. It made me wonder when the last time it had been mopped. It was very gross! The rest of the condo was very clean. I did not contact Poole Vacation Rentals (property managers) immediately as I should have. I waited a day and half. In any case I emailed Angila Sarvold (who is in charge of housecleaning for Poole - ) about the condition of the floors and in reply received an unprofessional response. I can provide email exchange if needed. In the future I will definitely try to avoid renting any more vacation properties thru Poole or those that use Gleam Team housekeeping.

Extremely disappointing

The unit needs some serious attention along with the entire complex. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. Couch was the same the tv operations was completely out of wack. We packed are tennis racquets because the place is called Gulf Shores Surf & Racquet Club the tennis courts had no nets and grass was growing on the asphalt. Only had one elevator working out of 4 spent a lot of unnecessary time waiting on elevators. Some sort of black stuff growing on closet and bathroom ceilings. If I could post pictures I would. I could keep going hopefully you get the end result here….find somewhere else to stay! ☹️☹️
