Beautiful Condo… A vacation dream!

We could not have been happier with this condominium. It made our vacation outstanding! Absolutely beautiful! Every detail perfected. Nothing overlooked. The view on the 17th floor is amazing! Balconies out of both bedrooms and living room. The unit was immaculate. The elevators are quick, the pools and beach are great! We travel quite often and this condominium is definitely a treasure!!

The condo was lovely. No complaints there. I was, however, disappointed at having to cross the road to get to the beach. I like to be closer to the water. I feel that the description of the condo location was misleading.

Best Vrbo

The host did a great job communicating about check in, what to expect, etc. The condo was very clean and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub, pool, and sauna were amazing and were never crowded. The beach access was great! We travel frequently and this is our favorite Vrbo property we have ever stayed in.

Beautiful Location

Condo was beautifully appointed with amazing views of th ocean and lake. The pools, hot tubs, and access to the beach were great. Beautiful, clean, white sand beach right there. My only complaint was the mattress in the guest bedroom. I like a firm mattress, but this one was way too hard. Other than that, everything was great! Would definitely stay again if we ever visit Gulf Shores.

Amazing Condo!

My husband and I spent the month of November 2024 at this condo and it was pure paradise! The views from every room were amazing. Due to the upscale furnishings, it did not seem like a rental. It was as comfortable as our own home. The owners were easy to work with and answered my many questions very promptly. The location was perfect as it was close to everything you would need. Don't hesitate to rent this condo.

If you are seeking an adult vacation spot that’s updated, clean, and has the most amazing views and amenities, this condo is for you! We visited off season and truly enjoyed every moment. The pools, gym, hot tubs, sauna, beach location, comfort and ease of stay were all top notch. We created many fun memories in Gukf Shores. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with our family.

First Class all the way!

This is by far one of the best vacation rentals that we have stayed in. The unit was immaculate and it had everything we needed for our stay. There were 4 of us that stayed, and we had plenty of space without feeling cramped. David and Angie have made sure that comfort is at the top of the list with this property. Everything was first class; from the bedrooms to the bathrooms, from the kitchen to the living space; it could not have been nicer. If that was not enough, the location was as nice as the unit itself. A protected walkway across the main road, gave us beach access in about 4 minutes. There are 2 hot tubs, 3 pools, a sauna and a workout area that were available for our use. The views from the double balconies of the gulf and back bay area were breathtaking. Sunrise and sunsets are in full view from the gulf side balcony. I can’t say enough about this unit, the communication with the owners was “just right” without feeling watched. I knew that if there was something that we needed, they would take care of it. We did not have any issues while there, everything was as described and maybe a little better than I imagined. If you are looking for a vacation getaway that makes you feel like royalty - this spot is for you. We will definitely book again on our next family beach getaway.

The Most Incredible Vacation

My best friend of 40+ years and I decided to rent a unit in Gulf Shores to celebrate our 70th/68th birthdays together. She had never been on a beach vacation and it had been years for me. I was a little apprehensive going on VRBO but the place I found looked perfect. It was MORE than that! This place was incredible! From the time we walked in (and it was AMAZING) from the time we left, we couldn't have asked for anything more. We felt at home and felt like queens while we were there. It was super clean, comfortable, convenient, beautifully decorated, had an incredible view, and so well stocked! There wasn't anything we needed that we didn't have. The beds were so comfortable I will have to ask what type of mattresses they were. Just BEYOND perfection. David and Angie were the perfect hosts. There wasn't anything they could have done more for us! We HIGHLY recommend this condo.

Very nice with lots of rules

Our stay was relaxing. The condo is very nice and we appreciated that. The rules made us a bit uncomfortable as it relates to where we can eat, and how to clean up behind our selves. (I do believe we paid for cleaning so I’m not sure why this is expected). We understand every guest is different but that’s what I thought the cleaning fee was for. The check out time is unreasonable at best, other guests expressed this also. We were rushing out after we were told we couldn’t extend until 11 because the door was set to lock at 10 (what? We’re inside, not outside), and the cleaning crew would be there at 10. Well, the cleaning crew is the owner. We literally left out at 10 and there he was approaching us as we walked to the elevator. Crazy! Anyways, I forgot my pillow so I guess being there right at 10 was beneficial.. lol. Overall, the stay was great, the beach is beautiful and the location is superb!
