Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed the condo and the location. The views were incredible, the walkway to the beach was air conditioned and easy to reach the beach and pool, and the pool was nice (a bit cold as it is not heated). The condo itself had everything you could need for your visit to Gulf Shores (even a hair dryer which is rare to find in a condo). Beds were comfortable and the everything was in great working order. We will definitely be back!!

We absolutely loved our stay here! We had views of the bay and ocean, and could see the sun rise & set from the balcony. The condo was clean, spacious & had everything we needed for the week. It felt like home away from home. The amenities were great - after the beach we would cool off by the main pool & hot tub. We also loved the area. Plenty of places to eat and explore without feeling too touristy. We have been to several beach’s around the gulf, but this is the only one that we will definitely stay here again!

Beach squad trip

It was perfect for our small group. I try to take my grandkids to the beach every year. We all love it. I didn’t mind the crossover. The pool is great. We all agreed it was a cozy and comfy place (a recliner would be nice) The view is as good as it gets.

Not as described

I chose this property partly because the description said there was a king size bed in the master bedroom. The master bedroom had a full or queen size bed. I believe it was only a full size. We could not sleep together all night because we were crowded. The description was incorrect, and it caused us sleepless nights. Also, the pillows were very thin.

Nice, but needs some upgrade.

The following need some upgrade. Master bedroom needs new pillows and covering after each stay. Television needs upgrading, very old and small, master bathtub is to deep when stepping in and out, could cause an injury, and the rugs in the master bedroom are old and dirty. The balcony need to be pressure wash, very dirty. Please for the cost, have more soap, detergent, tissues and garbage bags.
