We had a great time. The property was clean and well cared for. It is centrally located so that walking to many things was easy. The pool was clean and well maintained. Beach access was great and the views great
Myself and my four grown children really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, clean and well stocked.

Family Vacation
The location of the property was perfect. The Beach was very nice as was the pool area.
I feel, for the cost of this unit, we should have been supplied with more than the roll of toilet paper that was on the holder. Also one dishwasher pod and a partial roll of paper towels… not a big deal, but with a family of 5 adults and 3 children (5 and under) this would have been nice. The kitchen floor was very dirty and I can’t believe it had been mopped after the last guests. I had on new white socks and they were brown on the bottom within an hour of our arrival. These may be little things I’m bringing up, but for the amount of money I paid for a 4 night stay, it would have been nice to have had the Basic Daily needs provided.
Also, my son repaired the door lock as it was coming off the door and also the door to the trashcan cabinet in the kitchen that came off when we opened it.
Check in to the property was easy and simple. The code came in an email. There was an issue with the door lock (it was missing a number that was part of our code), but we were able to get in and the maintenance department was there to replace the lock by the time we unpacked. There were shopping carts and luggage carts to help carry things up. The size of the condo was great for our family of 5. We could have fit a few more people if necessary. There were a few things that the condo could have used. There was a washer and dryer, but no laundry basket. The unit also did not have a cutting board, or grilling utensils. The toaster was also small for a larger unit like this one. All of the pans were left pretty greasy and with a fill on top of them. The property could use a deep cleaning, and a few minor updates. The throw pillows were beat down and pulled, and the bed pillows and bedding had some stains. Overall I would stay here again, as all of the issues we had were minor, and the view and sound of the ocean can make you forget almost anything. The Italian restaurant across the street was great, and also close proximity to the hangout.
We loved gulf shores and this property was the perfect place for us to stay! We’d definitely stay here again!! Friendly staff, clean, great location, excellent views!!
Beautiful home and is exactly as described. Plenty of room for our group. Everything was clean. We all loved it and had no complaints. The battery was low in the thermostat and they were there to fix it in less than 10 minutes.
We were very happy with the location of the property in relation to where the festival was being held - literally a 5 minute walk! The space itself was very inviting, clean & had an amazing view! We were very happy with everything & had an amazing time! We will definitely be using your company again the next time we are back in Gulf Shores!
It was a great place to stay!
But you will need to bring filters and coffee.
If you will be cooking- you will need to bring everything but the pots or pans.
The condo was nice. Easy access to the beach. The pool was good. Only issue was that the dishwasher was not cleaning the dishes. I called and they said they put in a work order. No one came to fix it while we were there. My only concern was how long it had been broken because some dishes that we took out of the cabinets were obviously dirty.

Great week.
Everything was great. The condo was really nice and furnished beautifully. We couldn't have asked for better weather. And the water was clean and beautiful. Hope to do again.
We loved every aspect of this stay… the condo was cute and lots of space. Convenient to everything . Only reason for a 4 rating is all of the beds are kind of hard. But all in all great property! will stay at this property again!
