Nice

We enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect location, right next to the pool and close to the boardwalk that goes to the beach. The host was available when needed and responded right away. The washer and dryer was also right across from our room. That was perfect.

Small but Well Suited

The condo was just as advertised. Our family of four slept quite comfortably and had everything we needed. The room was mere steps to three pools and onsite restaurant. It was only about a 3 minute walk down the boardwalk to the beach. Sand was white and water clear. Communication about the accommodations was easy and clear. All pertinent information was provided. We would definitely consider coming back.

Great beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo itself was a little small for a family of 4, but we made it work. The accessibility to the beach was great. It wasn’t as crowd as being the in the heart of Gulf Shores Beach. A downfall is the laundry situation. It is expensive to use the machines, the laundry app for the phone didn’t work, the machines didn’t work part of the stay and you need a lot of quarters to use them.

Bug spray smell so strong we had to keep doors and windows open.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We first got there you could smell bug spray . Then we started seeing cockroaches. I called lady over place. She said she would send someone. The bug spray smell was coming from other rooms next door ( they were doing construction) so was the bugs. I have pictures.

Awesome 1 bedroom with view of the ocean from your balcony

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year in this unit. We stayed for 6 weeks. Description is very accurate. Perfect spot for 2 people and fold out couch for short stay guests. Very clean upon arrival; super responsive; fantastic communication on check-in/out, amenities, what to bring, etc. Restaurant in condo next door. Boardwalk and pools just steps away. Like first floor access and laundry just outside the door. We have booked in again for next year and have friends who want to join us after they saw our unit. We can't wait!
