The property was amazing, everything you could want. Perfect location to walk over 15 restaurants. The Hangout is 3 blocks away with live music. The beach and pool area was great!
We had a relaxing stay and everything was clean! We enjoyed our stay if we come back to gulf shores again we would definitely stay here it was close to everything!
We had a great stay! The unit was big enough for 6 people (4 adults and 2 kids). We enjoyed the big pool and quick access to the beach. The unit is clean and the balcony is lovely. We also enjoyed the quick elevators! We would stayed here again!
Our stay on this property and in 1009 was great! The room was as expected with plenty of room for 4 adults, one child age 7 & one child age 1 yr & 10 months. Loved the swimming pool and the close proximity to the beach. The parking pass a little expensive for a 3 day stay. Most places we have stayed in the past, parking was included.
The condo was amazing. Beautiful corner unit with great ocean view. It was spacious, very clean and well maintained. Location was perfect and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Beach access was easy and the elevators were large and efficient. No wait times. Easiest check in and check out and very friendly and accommodating customer service. Would definitely stay again.
Great property, honestly! My stay was great. We had an issue with the hot water and that issue was resolved immediately. Very clean and equipped with everything you need. Secluded unit. The view was beautiful. Very peaceful and friendly environment! The staff was on point with their immediately response. I recommend this unit and i will be back to visit soon.
We would highly recommend this unit. When we got there we couldn’t find a remote and within 20 minutes we had maintenance there to fix the problem. Easy check in and check out.
My family had a wonderful time and loved the balcony. We even had a surprise visit from the Blue Angels one evening.
The property managers were a simple text away and always answered quickly.
The only issue was the master bedroom's mattress, although comfortable, was sagging on one side so you had to move in. Could use a new one. The ceiling vents could also use a dusting. It was a beautiful property and I would refer it to friends.
We just spent 3 nights at this condo over the 4th of July weekend and our experience was nothing short of excellent. The condo was impeccably clean and conveniently located right by the beach, allowing us to enjoy stunning ocean views and easy access to beach and up close views of Gulf Shores Fireworks.
The location was ideal, with everything we needed within walking distance. We enjoyed leisurely strolls to tourist shops, the HangOut, and resteraunts. The surrounding area offered plenty of entertainment options, making it perfect for our group of seven adults.
The condo's security team was top-notch, providing a sense of safety and peace of mind throughout our stay. Checking in was a breeze, thanks to the efficient and friendly staff at GATEWAY Alabama. They were incredibly responsive and promptly answered all our questions, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience.
The condo itself was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for all seven of us. We never felt cramped, and the amenities provided everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Overall, I highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a beachside getaway with excellent service and convenient access to local attractions.
We just had a wonderful vacation at this unit.
Check-in Process: Communication prior was smooth. Check-in was easy. They have a multitude of shopping carts to help you move your stuff.
Condo: Fantastic condo that was well equipped. Decorated beautifully. Large double sliding doors that open up to the balcony were great. Only issue was the mattress in main BR. Definitely in need of replacement.
Building: Building was clean and safe. Minimal wait times for the 3 elevators. First floor was covered parking, so it doesn't have as fancy a feel as some resorts. Location was great. Restaurants within walking distance. Hang Out is easy to get to and fun for teens.
Beach: White powdery sand was of course great. They have a volleyball net set up. There is a little slope to get down to the water. Canopies can be set up but police require you to be back a bit. Beach is odd that a sand bar runs along most of the area. This makes it great if you have small kids since there is 12 in deep water for about 10 ft and then the sand bar so no waves crashing on littles. Sand bar is great for skim boarding. Waves are small so not so great for body boards.
Overall great unit in a great location.

Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Overall okay - beds not accurate
Positives: we love the San Carlos community, location is wonderful, beautiful beach and pool area, excellent parking access, great location in gulf shores, the unit was clean and well appointed, overall beautiful.
Negatives: unit beds listing is not accurate - the 3rd room was listed as queen beds, but are double beds. Looking back at the listing - it listed in multiple places both double and queens. It’s not clear. But it IS doubles and we needed queen beds.
For a unit that’s supposed to sleep multiple people - it needs more towels left than what’s left. It needs Enough for as many people as advertised for one day.
Do not expect ANY early checkin from this property manager. We arrived only 30 minutes early with two toddlers and asked if we were able to check in a little early. We were told the unit had maintenance going on - we waited in the parking lot and never saw anyone leaving the unit - so no idea how they got in or out doing maintenance. We were told we could go to the beach or pool. That’s kind of hard to do not in swimwear with toddlers and a car loaded down for a 8 day stay. I know check in is at 4pm and can understand if we were asking for a lot of time but 30 mins did not seem like a big ask when housekeeping is done and it was obvious no one was in the unit. It would have been nice to have access a little earlier if the unit was ready. We were given the access code a few minutes before 4pm.
The condo was clean. The only problem was the right side "eye" on stove didn't work and we couldn't lock balcony door. Already planning and saving for winter visit
Had a great time, very clean and comfortable. Beautiful view of ocean. Was able to see dolphins from balcony. Zero complaints. Chairs/umbrellas available for rent at the beach. 40 a daytip. Can’t wait to come again.
