My partner is Bosnian and has never been to the sands of Gulf Shores until 2 months ago, she fell in love and immediately wanted to bring kids back. So we found this place on VRBO and it was perfect. Clean, stocked, location and budget friendly. I will definitely be back to THIS place when and if its available for our next trip. Previously they had only visited Myrtle, PCB and Daytona and they said GS beach was much better and more family friendly. ##### Eric W.

Property owners were very nice and very responsive. Condo was in need of a deep cleaning as the tubs were dirty, was not dusted in a long time, condo was hard to cool even when we had the curtains pulled all day long in living and bedroom. Very dusty and floors needed to be swept. ##### Mike B.

Location is perfect and in walking distance of The Hangout. Sea n studs is the property. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. Check in was a breeze! The only one minor thing is the door to the balcony is hard to open. Could be easily fixed. And the owners are hard to slow to respond. We will stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful week!! ##### Brittney K.

We stayed at this condo for the month of Feb. From the moment we walked in and saw the view from the balcony we were captivated. We spent mornings watching the dolphins and afternoons just soaking up the warmth from the sun. We also spent many hours walking the beaches. We did a lot of exploring of the local parks and sightseeing attractions. The condo was clean and very comfortable and we felt very much at home. We had a couple of mechanical issues during our stay but were very pleased that the owners responded immediately to have the issues resolved. ##### paula H. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 21 Aug 2015 #### Just what we'd hoped for! The condo was adorable, clean, well-stocked and in a TERRIFIC location. We could see our kids just down below, playing in the pool, or easily look out from the deck and see that they'd safely made it to our spot on the beach. Sea and Suds was our favorite place to hang when we weren't soaking up sun or chilling in the cool of the condo. Would LOVE to go back to this exact place next year. (Next week, for that matter.) Lots of great activities in the area, so easily a great spot for any type of outing you may be in the market for. We were there during my daughter's 14th birthday. I asked if she was having fun... her response, "I think I'm in heaven!" ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 12 Aug 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Vacation No light in refrigerator, dryer didn’t work, patio door was hard to work and locked us in 3 times to where we would have to use the bedroom exit. And blow dryer in master bathroom did not work. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Barbara M. 8 Aug 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Not as described - needs lot of maintenance! While decor was fairly nice, there was a page & half of issues - could not use door to balcony from living area- curtain rod pulled out of wall - drapes could not be pulled at night in front of beach restaurant- no privacy! Door to balcony from bedroom also had issues but could use it. Owner requests renter inspect & sdvise issues - we submitted list and response was “thanks”….nothing fixed during stay. Boardwalk maintenance was going to send maintenance person to fix door but never did. Boardwalk pool area has many boards with screw heads up - boards not even - trip hazards. Carts to transport belongings to room were not clean. (This is bldg HOA). Owners cleaning & maintenance crew have certainly let him down - place was definitely not worth the fees! ##### Barbara M.

Very clean, and secure there was always an attendant in the parking lot. The heated pool is wonderful if traveling when it's a little bit cooler. Loved being able to have my coffee in the morning on the deck over looking the water. The condo was tastefully decorated, which made us feel right at home. ##### Jodi W.

We wanted to stop in Gulf Shores on our way home from Ft Myers for a few days. I checked for last minute rentals and this was right on the beach in an area we have stayed before and liked. On the beach, heated pool and great food next door. The building is one of the older ones in the area but worked for us. ##### Joe M. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Diana R., Pineville, La 10 Aug 2021 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Very, Very Disappointed I've been staying in Gulf Shores for nearly 30 years. I've never written a review that was negative, but there's always a first, and this is my first. After emailing multiple times to ask if we could check in an hour or two early, if the apartment was ready I finally got a favorable response - "sure, if the apartment was clean." We got there at 4:00, check in was at 3:00. The apartment had two garbage bags in the hallway, beds were unmade and the tabletops, counters and floors were covered in dirt/sand. I called the owners because their number was taped to the wall and was told they were sorry, but they were on their way. Keep in mind, it's 4:00, check in was at 3:00. Evidently the cleaning person was a no show. The owners were polite and immediately began cleaning. I commented that the floors were covered in sand and the lady's response was, yeah that's what happens at the beach. Unfortunately, when they left, and we came back into the apartment, the floors had not been swept or mopped. But, that was only the beginning. The sofa and ottoman had been replaced with a love seat and ottoman, both of which were filthy and stained. There was not one chair in the living room with arms. There was a table with four dining chairs and two dining chairs on either side of the armoire with the television. There was no ice maker, no ice trays, no bagged ice - no ice. There was no hot water. The ceiling is cracked, which is a little unnerving after what happened to the older condo in Miami. After multiple emails asking when I should expect to receive my deposit back (which nobody asks for a deposit anymore) I finally got a reply that it would be processed on 8/8. We left the apartment on 7/25. I actually received it on 8/9 - 15 days after we left. To put this in comparison with other complexes...I'm returning to the Gulf Shores area next week. I'll be staying at Turquoise Place and my rate is $10 less per night than it was at the Boardwalk. Compare the two. There is no comparison. In good conscious I would not recommend this unit to anyone, ever. It's dirty, dated, there's no ice or hot water and parking is a nightmare. If you're going in the peak summer months and looking for an inexpensive stay, stay home if this is your only option. It's not worth it...not by any stretch of the imagination. Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt the worst VRBO I've ever paid for since the inception of VRBO in 1995. ##### Diana R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Marshall S. 14 Jun 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### World Series Trip Overall experience was great. Location was the best perk. Walking distance to restaurants, very well stocked grocery store across the street, The Hangout, etc. Parking lot is small but there is allotted parking across the street. Very homelike feel to the unit. Loved being on the 2nd floor because it the running back and forth to the beach that much easier. Not as big as a production as it can be when staying at the larger condos. Would stay again. ##### Marshall S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashlyn H. 26 Jun 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay! Everything about this stay and property was great. Great view and easy access to the beach. The only issue we had was with parking. Expect to park across the street, as the lot is soo small. ##### Ashlyn H. Stayed 2 nights in May 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carmen C. 20 Aug 2018 #### Good location but issues The complex is old and the condo showed it’s age. It also wasn’t very clean and there were bath towels hanging on a door when we got there. The master bath stopped draining properly in the middle of our stay. I messaged the owners, but didn’t hear back. Parking is the biggest problem because they share the lot with the Sea N Suds restaurant, and the lot is tiny. Most nights we had to park across the street. The location is good and being on the second floor was good since we could use the stairs. We enjoyed the beach. The pool is just okay. All in all, it was a good trip, but the condo could use a deep cleaning. ##### Carmen C. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John M. 5 Aug 2018 #### Fabulous beachfront location in Gulf Shores! We had a great time at the Boardwalk. Could not have a better location, right on the beach. Great community pool. Sea n Suds restaurant (very popular) right there as well. Condo was nicely appointed. A little tight for 6 but perfect for 4. Balcony looking out on the ocean was priceless. Nicely located near other Gulf Shores destinations. 10 miles to the Flora-Bama. Had a ball and would definitely come back! ##### John M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sarah S. 26 Jul 2018 #### BAD VRBO EXPERIENCE - BEWARE I'm not usually one to write a negative review (if you can't say something nice....), but I don't want our experience repeated for any other family. Here's our story. After a day-long drive, we arrived at the appointed check-in time (3pm) to find the unit had not been cleaned (everything left from last stay was still in place). The cleaning crew arrived shortly after we had unloaded our luggage, while I was on the phone to the owner. They had a mishap in a prior unit, and were running late, which is understandable. However, they said they had let the owner know, and he didn't let us know - so we waited an hour in the unit while they cleaned, and then began unpacking, getting ready to meet friends for dinner, etc. It would have been nice to have been given a heads-up from the owner that the crew was running late, and that check-in would be delayed. We could have gone ahead with grocery shopping, etc. I felt like the Griswalds arriving at Wally World in the "Vacation" movie! The unit was not clean and the curtain rod was torn down (from a previous tenant) so privacy was limited at night (it's a 1st floor unit). We called the owner when we arrived, and he offered to buy us dinner (he hasn't), and said he'd put in a repair order for the curtain, but it hadn't been completed. They didn't send us the unit's access information until I asked for it, plumbing was an issue and we still haven't received our security deposit back (we're 10 days out). We've been going to Gulf Shores for 15+ years, and know the ins and outs of going in peak season. On the plus side, if you like being in the midst of the peak season action, the condo location was very convenient. Just understand that with fees, the cost increased by about $200/night. ##### Sarah S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018
