The view and beach were incredible, I’d go back regularly just for that! The building: we’d been told a couple weeks before our trip that the indoor pool was not available and we did get a small refund. It was unfortunate as we had an infant with us. But we didn’t realize till we were waiting for them to open that the outdoor cafe nor the gift shop would be open at all during our stay. Also there were some evenings that the game room wasn’t available either. And other than the smell from the new flooring being placed in pool deck area and at least one elevator; the annoyances were minor other than we had planned 2 different days of staying at the unit and using the amenities.

Awesome

The view from the balcony was awesome. We loved that it wrapped around so u could also get some sunsets. Also had a good breeze at night in the dead of the summer. The condo was clean and had everything u needed in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable. It was also very close to restaurants (a few within walking distance)Had a great week at the beach!

Perfect place to stay for a great time.

Everything was amazing from start to finish. The unit was very clean and well furnished with anything you could need. The views from the patio were great and being a lower unit in the building made getting up and down from the ground level easy. Communication with the hosts was excellent. Being able to set our own access code to enter the unit was definitely a plus making entry simple. This is the 2nd time we have stayed in the unit and we will be back for more.

We absolutely loved this unit and Mark was very easy to communicate with. Not a single thing bad to say! I would caution not to leave your beach items in the outside storage area between the beach and the parking lot we had a few items stolen but that is in no way their fault. We 100% plan to return! In 25 years of annual beach trips this was our favorite!

Overall great place

The condo was great. Very clean and well stocked plus the view was amazing. Only issue was the couch and chairs that were uncomfortable. But overall the condo itself was great. The nuilding amenities was not great. Suana smelled funny, pool was ice cold and hot tub didn't have jets so basically a tub of hot water. The beach was perfect. Gulf Shores was a nice town and we ate some great food. I would definitely visit again.

Great location

The condo was very clean, and had everything you needed. The condo was in a great location for walking to just about anything you want. Beautiful views from the balcony. The beds were very comfortable. The owners are very responsive if you need anything. The kids were disappointed the pool heater was broken all week, but there is nothing the owners could do about that.
