Our stay was wonderful! The condo is beautifully decorated and organized. Impressed with how stocked the kitchen is. We loved that not only the master bedroom but also the second bedroom had ocean views with a walk out balcony! Each bedroom has their own bathroom which was a plus as well! Each floor only has 3 condo units so it’s not an overly crowded complex which we also loved. Only issue we had was the fire alarms malfunctioned in the building on our last night and the building had to be evacuated at 2:30am but other than that, we had the best stay!

Great location! Walk 1/2 block to Bahama Bob's. Beautiful ocean view from 13th floor. Clean and very well appointed. We had everything we needed! The 3BR/3BA was perfect for 3 girls. Two of the bedrooms had ocean view with access to balcony. I would definitely stay at this property again.

This condo was amazing! My wife and I and our 3 kids really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views of the beach from the living area and bedrooms. The condo was beautifully furnished and had all the amenities. The check in and out process was smooth and easy. Do yourself a favor and stay here. You will feel at home. We look forward to our next trip.

If you are looking for a clean, well stocked and beautiful place to stay- look no further!! This is an amazing condo! Blake has been a great host from the beginning to the end. He communicated all information to us in a timely manner and was quick to respond when we asked questions. The condo has everything you could ever want in it from books, games, and a fully stocked kitchen!! Thank you so much for letting us borrow your piece of paradise for the week! I can’t wait to plan the next trip!!

All you need is the view but you get so much more!

Wilson's Retreat was a treat! From the friendly, easy interaction with the owner to the condo stocked with anything you might need for your stay, everything was great! I had to work a few mornings of our stay but work doesn't even feel like work when you are sitting on the balcony with a great cup of coffee from the provided Keurig (!), with an awesome view of the beach. The condo was spacious enough to invite another family we vacationed with back after dinner to play games. Nothing but good things to say about the condo, clean, well appointed, all extras (beach chairs, umbrellas, hair dryers!) provided meant we didn't have to bring it with us. Blake was very accommodating, answering any questions we had and making sure our stay was great. He went above and beyond! I would recommend Wilson's Retreat without any hesitation.

Best stocked & Great Location

My family, friends, and I loved staying at 1302 Island Tower. The condo is spacious, clean, and well stocked with any and everything you can think of! The condo has all up to date appliances and furniture. I'm impressed with the closet spaces especially in the master bedroom. I love how close of a walk it is to the beach from the condo. It's such a short walk in comparison to other places I've stayed. I love the views from the balcony and privacy provided. It's also located in a convenient spot within walking distance to several restaurants. Bahama Bobs is right next door & Surfside Pizza is across the street! Blake is a wonderful host with great communication. We locked our keys in the room and he was quick to the rescue! He stayed in contact with us to make sure everything was good and was quick to respond. Definitely recommended and look forward to business with Blake in the future.

Great property, as advertised, and great customer service!

Best stocked condo period!! Great location with plenty of space for 4 adults 1 teen and 3 smaller kids. The 2 master sweets are awesome and the balcony is huge. Location is great, easily accessible to everything in town. The condo was so well stocked that we basically only need clothes and groceries. I can’t think of anything else that it didn’t have. Makes it easy to travel not needing any beach items or basic necessities around the house. Blake was great any questions I had were answered with in minutes. And that alone will bring us back to this place our next trip to gulf shores. The property has everything you need to be comfortable with 2 pools one inside which is key on long rainy days, a gym, plenty of parking space, and security on staff that we saw every time we left the condo making their rounds. Only think to note for travelers not familiar with gulf shores, during peak times of vacation getting into or out of town on the weekend is a process so be prepared for heavy traffic with in 35 miles. That’s just part of it, I will travel during a weekday or at night next time! Again this is a great place and we will be back! Thanks for sharing it with us Blake!!

Gorgeous view!

Everything was beautiful! The place is so big and clean and pristine and you can’t beat that view! We are going to miss sitting outside on the balcony having our coffee looking at that gorgeous ocean.The beds were super comfortable. The unit has everything you possibly could need in the kitchen in the washer and dryer worked great. And it was awesome being in walking distance of so many great restaurants.My only complaint is about the elevator…with two elevators for 26 floors the wait sometimes was overwhelming. People would have their massive beach carts crowding the space and we kept having to wait and wait and wait for the next elevator and then at one point they were doing maintenance on the elevator so that took even more time. It was just kind of annoying, but other than that, everything was great!

A Perfect Beachfront Getaway in Gulf Shores !

A Perfect Beachfront Getaway in Gulf Shores!Our stay at this beachfront condo in Gulf Shores, Alabama, was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking ocean views and the easy access to the pristine sandy beaches. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying coffee on the private balcony was a dream come true.The condo itself was beautifully decorated, clean, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the essentials, the beds were cozy, and the living space was perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun.The location couldn’t be better—close to great restaurants, shopping, and local attractions while still feeling peaceful and private. The building amenities, including the pool and fitness center, were an added bonus.Overall, this was one of the best beach vacations we’ve ever had! If you’re looking for a relaxing, beautiful, and hassle-free stay in Gulf Shores, this condo is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to come back!

Great stay

The condo was great, it was exactly as described, very clean, kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of linens, towels. The view was amazing, and it was close to many things to walk to and drive if you choose to do so. I would however recommend to the owner that a fresh coat of paint throughout the condo would do it wonders, along with a new ceiling fan in the master bedroom, we could not turn it on for it made a horrible sound at night, the mattress could also stand to be replaced in the master, it slanted slightly to both sides. The only negative to our stay was the elevators were so horribly slow, we were on the 13th floor and at times chose to walk up all 13 flights rather than to wait. There also is a huge discrepancy in your check in information on where to place the tag for your vehicle while parked in the garage, the check in info stated to put this on the drivers side dash (visible) we did this, only to come out and see that we had a warning on our windshield stating that our vehicle would be subject to towing or having a boot put on it for failing to properly display our parking permit. On the permit it states to put it on your mirror. The female security officer that we spoke with was beyond unhelpful and horribly rude while trying to explain that we had conflicting instructions on where to place it.

First timers to gulf shores

The condo was a great location - able to walk to a few restaurants and shops. The condo was very well stocked in the kitchen - even had extra paper towels, ziploc bags, foil, Tupperware and dish soap! They also supplied 6-8 thick beach towels which definitely came in handy! The unit also had multiple beach chair - all in good condition. The main bed in the primary bedroom was a bit uncomfortable for us but overall the condo was great and I would recommend it to others!
