We loved the location! It was very convenient to shops and restaurants and only a short walk to the beach. Overall, the condo was clean and provided what we needed. The beach chairs and toys were a nice touch but otherwise not too many extra “frills”. There are limited kitchen supplies if wanting to cook a full meal but we were able to cook simple breakfast. We did have trouble connecting to WiFi but otherwise we were pleased with the accommodation.
We had a fantastic stay in gulf shores! The rental is clean and has very comfortable beds. The kitchen is well stocked for quick meals, but could use a few more things to be useful for cooking full meals. The host is excellent at communication and suggesting local spots. Pool is really nice and not overcrowded. They also do a great job of keeping it clean. The community laundry is very accessible and has great large size washers/dryers. We would definitely stay here again!
It was very nice. The pots and pans and dishes was not that good. Some the plates and bowls have cracks in them. Was washing one and the plate just broke in half!! The pan stuck to everything and need replaced!! Other than that we really enjoyed the condo and beach!!
Our family of five stayed just a couple weeks into the off season, so the weather was great and the water was warm. While the unit doesn't overlook the beach, access is direct through the parking level and also provides a pool with relative privacy in the center of the complex!
Overall, our experience was great! The complex has a lot to offer for the price. We enjoyed the place and the little extras. There's a few outdated things, but nothing I wouldn't expect in this price range. Property manager contacted us a couple times to make sure all was well, but not so much to be an annoyance.
We will consider this place again for a future vacation.
Awesome area, next to the beach and shopping! Our host lauren was also fantastic, she was great with responding and helping out! We would definitely stay here again but bring our kids with us next time!
We were in town for a large beach volleyball tournament and so lucky to find this beachfront condo just a short walk away. Very beautiful, and so convenient to skip parking hassles and get to the beach and the restaurants on foot! The owner is extremely communicative and agreeable!
Short walk to the beach, pool was really nice, location was awesome, and convenient to everything. Such a cute place, clean and felt like home! Definitely would book again. Lauren was great, communicated well and answered any questions quickly! Loved our stay!
My daughter and I enjoyed our short stay here. The outside of the unit is dated, but the inside is nice and new, very nice! The location is perfect and having the parking under the unit is ideal. It is noted in the listing, but there is no elevator on the property, so you have to steps no matter which floor you are staying on. This particular unit is on the top floor. It was fine for us, but some people may struggle. Easy walk to the beach and we actually enjoyed people watching at night from our balcony vs staring at the ocean. The property owner was quick to respond to my questions.

Clean but…
Clean and cute but ice maker didn’t work; at the beach you need lots of ice! The tvs only had a very few channels and the ones it had were not good signal, while watching tv it looked like puzzle pieces on screen! Description said 2flight of stairs but really had to climb 4 flights!! Very hard to climb!! Walls very thin had the man next door actually woke us up snoring from the condo next door!
