It's in a very pedestrian friendly area, too. The staff were also very polite and professional. We were able to receive and return our key without any issues. I can definitely picture coming back here again next year!"

Top Shelby Lake Hotel Reviews

Beachside Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"."

Hilton Garden Inn Orange Beach Beachfront

8/10 Good

"Facility was fine except one of the two elevators was out of service. With guests and staff with carts using the one remaining, there were backups and delays. Otherwise, I was very satisfied."

Best Western On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a balcony room and it was great! 2 mornings in a row around 9-930 a.m. the wild dolphins swam by and put on a show! We had great room service and just enjoyed listening to the waves! Thanks!"

Lighthouse 616 - Beachfront with views!

10/10 Excellent

"Great place with a great view! Right on the beach! Several pools that are well maintained. The master bedroom has a sliding glass door out to the balcony; I left it open at night giving me the most peaceful, relaxing sleep I've had in a long time. It was exactly what I needed. The other bedroom was smaller than expected but enough for the couple guests I had (perfect for kids/young adults). Very clean despite some minor wear and tear which is expected. The bed was super comfortable. I didn't care for the satellite TV but I suppose I'm just reaching to find something negative lol, cause I watched Netflix when I wasn't listening to the ocean so the satellite wasn't really an issue. Check in and out was smooth and Emily was very kind and responsive to any questions or concerns I had and even offered me an early check in!! Would definitely book again!"

The Whaler Condos

10/10 Excellent

"Todo muy excelente muy bonito lo recomiendo"

CUTE DUPLEX IN THE HEART OF GULF SHORES | SLEEPS 16

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect Location. Short walk to beach, able to walk to the Hangout and surf shops! The Duplex was very cute and space was good! Just one bathroom in each duplex. So you may want to think about shower and bathroom times. But we had a great stay! We did call for maintenance on carport light and fridge light. Was fixed quickly and set of sheets brought in timely manor for pull out sofa!! Thank Beach Ball for having us! Till next time"
