Beautiful view and clean property!

Very nice condo with a beautiful view- wall of windows. Loved sitting on the deck and watching the dolphins. Has a nice large dining room table area to sit and eat and play games with family. Excellent location, close to many stores, restaurants. I'm very picky about cleanliness and this condo was exceptional. Had a minor issue with the water heater, but property manager responded promptly and had it fixed within a couple hours. Would definitely stay here again!

Little piece of paradise

Loved this condo! Everything was within walking distance. Right on the beach! I will say the only draw back was the garage size . If you have a larger vehicle (we were in an expedition) the parking garage is extremely tight. You always have the ability to pay for additional parking.

Spring Break

First time staying in Gulf Shores with our family. Nothing better than staying right on the beach—super convenient location close to shopping and favorite food stops. Travel to Alligator Alley, mini golf, the Yard, Lamberts to name a few— was only a short drive away—even visited the Florida/Alabama border and Orange Beach. Spent time enjoying the views provided by the condo’s balcony. Would overall recommend this vacation stay!!

The beach view was beautiful and the pool was clean and heated. The condo exterior building is older and dated. Building employees smoke in lawn chairs on the ground floor (it's in an outside corridor) and the smell stuck to our clothes when we used the outside steps. Our keypad code didn't work upon arrival, but the customer service person was very helpful to quickly fix it. The condo company only supplies one roll of toilet paper per bathroom upon arrival/ we had a little conflict because the rolls were half used upon arrival and our request for additional toilet paper was denied and that customer service rep was incredibly rude. One of the bathrooms was missing hand soap upon arrival and it took two days for the Quality Assurance Inspector to provide us with hand soap. The kitchen didn't have basic spices, non-stick spray for the oven, so just be prepared to bring everything you need, including trash bags. Also, the parking pass for the condo was a surprise- I think 60 for a couple nights. Overall, the location was great and close to restaurants that we could walk too.

Family Vacation

Our family vacation, family of 8, was absolutely wonderful. Unit 401 was exceptional! They had everything so nice, clean, and ready for us. The view was breathtaking from our living room, dining room, kitchen, and balcony. The only negative for us was parking, because we had to take 2 vehicles. And at this current time only one vehicle was allowed to be parked on the property.

Place was amazing! Clean, great location, and beautifully decorated.

Wonderful! Our kids loved it, including our 16 year old. Aging parents also came and loved it as well! We'd go back. Only issue was with check in. Our first two door codes did not work and we were going back and forth with rental agency for about half an hour before getting in the door. But things happen sometimes. Folks involved were very friendly.

I walked around the entire condo taking pictures so we can show all of our friends and family how beautiful it was. We came to stay on the beach as many hours as we possibly could and this vacation we didn’t want to leave the condo. Thank you for letting us stay in your home.
