This is the 2nd time my family visited this location w/ this company (but different rooms) and we really enjoy it. Having many pools to choose from and the beach right there is great. We love it and will be back again!

Nice condo on a good property
We enjoyed our stay at Plantation. The property and amenities were nice with just a short walk to the beach. The only real drawback is there aren’t many dining options available without driving 12 miles into Gulf Shores. We didn’t experience any issues with the condo. Everything was pretty clean upon arrival.
We enjoyed our stay! This is an Efficiency unit and had everything we needed! It was very clean and the property manager was great to work with. The resort is beach front and this unit overlooks one of the many outdoor pools on property. We walked down the sidewalk right to the boardwalk to the beautiful private beach! A nice surprise was the restaurant Sassy Bass right on property. We will definitely stay here again when we can stay longer! Thank you!

This is our 3rd time using Island Dream and we LOVE working with them. They make the experience easy and enjoyable. The unit we stayed in this time was very clean and convenient. The bed is our only complaint. It desperately needs to be replaced. We will absolutely be choosing to book with Island Dream again!!!
Nice location and access to the beach, room smaller than imagined.
Was a good location and access to the beach. The pictures were accurate on location of furniture but did not realize that it was as small of a space as it is. That was a failure on our part to look closely at the details. The room was quiet at night. It worked fine for just two of us. A family of four might be crowded. The bed is in a nook bewteen windows so not much airflow if you are used to a fan as the ceiling fan is over the living area space. No space to place books or lights or phones next to the bed. The matress was sunk more in the middle so it wasn't the most comfortable. Fine for a two-day stay but not sure it would have been the most comfortable for a longer stay or with more people due to the small space.
