A FREE ACTIVITY TICKET EVERY DAY For each day of your stay, you get one free ticket to each activity below, plus discounts on other local favourites. Choose from: Dolphin cruise on the Southern Rose, 1.5 to 2 hours (our guests' favourite last year) Golf: a free round at Gulf Shores Golf Club, Lost Key or Soldier's Creek, perfect for fall and winter stays Parasailing from Bahama Bob's, the Pink Pony Pub or Blue Sky Offshore fishing on Zeke's Lady party boat OWA theme park tickets Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo tickets Sunset cruise with Cruisin' Tikis Beachside Mini Golf How it works: each free ticket covers one guest, and anyone else joining pays the regular price. Unused tickets expire at the end of each day. Activities depend on season and availability. Not available for stays of 28 nights or longer. These are activity tickets, not a credit or cash value.
THINGS TO NOTE Stairs: The condo is on the first living floor, above the covered parking, and you reach it by two flights of stairs. There is no lift, so plan on carrying luggage and groceries up the stairs. You must be 25 or older to book, and the renter must stay in the unit. Quiet hours 10 pm to 8 am. No smoking, vaping or pets. Snowbirds welcome November through February. Send us your dates for monthly rates.

Clean comfortable good value for the money,
the kitchen had all plates pans silverware we needed to prepare meals
small washer and dryer worked great they provided a small box of detergent
other basic supplies were provided
Walmart was 12 minute drive up Hwy 59
short walk straight across the street (Hwy 59) to the beach
other places we looked at required a walk sometimes quite a distance down Hwy 59 before reaching a beach access point
ground level parking almost directly underneath the unit kept the car covered
listing didn't say what floor the unit was on, turns out ours was on second floor, there was also a third and fourth floor in our building, stairs only no elevator
there was another building across the parking lot with only a second floor
nice pool
tried to tell a friend about this unit but couldn't find the listing for this unit on VRBO again
would definitely stay again
