Nice hotel with a walk to the beach
The place was nice but the wifi connection was awful! The walk to the beach requires you to cross a road and through soft sand. It was hard but don't bring a cart! They don't roll on that sand well! The beach always smells of dead fish because you're near a pier. Not my next choice!

Nice property on a budget.Had to cross hwy 2 beach
Very nice property, but do not suggest it if traveling with small children because you have to cross a pretty busy road to get to the beach. Nice pool & hot tub. The units were a bit noisy, as we were woken up at 2am by the people next door- but it was spring break. The kitchen in our unit had the bare min.-difficult to cook in. All in all , a decent place for the price though

First of all, I will never stay at a Wyndham resort again. They basically tricked you on prices. I've made dozens of reservations on Hotels.com and never have I paid twice the price of the advertised price when including fees and taxes. And the reservation is essentially non refundable. Room was spacious and right across from the beach. However, there was no toilet paper which there should be an abundance of in any hotel or condo. Also there were termites or mold living or growing on the wall in the living room. The mattresses should be thrown away. They were miserable. There was only one parking space per unit which was a huge inconvenience. We never got the wifi to work either.

tacky bedding choice but amazing none the less!!!
Me and my husband absolutely loved it! We feel like we received more than what we expected. The decor was so cute and very clean. The only thing I found funny was the choice of bedding. It wasn't old bedding but it was tacky lol!! We had zebra print bedding and drapes that totally did not fit the nautical theme of the rest of the condo lol but it was amazing other than that. We plan to stay

Pitch a tent--It might be cleaner
Management was great to have someone come in and clean again. Unfortunately the non english speaking cleaning young lady was cleaning the baseboards with inch(es) of dirt and dust by dipping her rag back into the black water. DISGUSTING. I WENT OUT TO BUY LYSOL AND SPRAYED EVERYWHERE. The noise from the highway was constant. Who wants to relax on the patio with the speeding cars. Would not recommend this place.

Don't let the worn exterior fool you. The condo-203 was cute and updated nicely. We got this for about 100 U.S. per night including resort fee during shrimp festival so you could not beat the bargain. highway noise is loud but you get used to it quickly.

Great Condo!
This is a great condo for a beach trip to Gulf Shores. It is right next to the state park and there is no hotel across the street to block the ocean view. Our condo had lots of amenities like a crock pot, coffee pot, washer/dryer, etc. that made it really nice to stay in. Would definitely stay here again. I was glad though that I read before about needing to pick up the key at another location so I was prepared for that part of it.

Great place for the price!
Condo was clean and spacious. Beach area was much less crowded than surrounding areas. The only drawback was there wasn't a crosswalk to access the beach nearby which meant either crossing traffic or walking a distance. Would definitely stay at Grand Beach again though.

Perfect for our family of 6
Condo is at the very east end of the strip, so there are views east and south. You have to cross the road to get to the beach, but since it is at the end, there is less traffic. The state park is across the street, so there is an unobstructed ocean view. I would have liked more specific info about our room. Such as: -Linens are provided (bath towels, dish towels, bedding) Some condos require you to bring your own. -Also provided: one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, two packets of dishwasher detergent, one packet dishwashing liquid, one packet laundry detergent, dishes and cooking utensils -small gym located by pool -Washer/dryer, dishwasher, oven, microwave, refrigerator, pantry, iron and ironing board -plenty of outlets for phone chargers, iron, medical equipment, etc. -Our condo had one bedroom, one bunk bed, and a bedroom in the loft, as well as a sleeper sofa. -Our condo also had two bathrooms, one with tub/shower.

Nice off-beach condo.
Nice view for second floor condo. Higher floors have even better view. Must cross busy street to get to beach access with no cross walks. This is the last commercial build on the east side of Gulf Shores before entering the state park, that is why you have a good view of the beach in front of you and eastward. Much less traffic and people at this end of GS, especially the beach area in the state park. I'm not sure about this, but I believe we were able to pitch our canopy right up at the shore line because we were just outside the public beach areas in front of all the other condo properties. That was nice be so close to the beach with our chairs and shade. The condo floors are thin and the guests above us were early risers each morning with young kids running back and forth for a couple hours each morning. The floors are probably all wood and no concrete because even walking on the outside walkways made much noise. We booked this condo at the same time as our friends (within minutes) and both got confirmations of our booking with Expedia, but our friends were placed in another condo 1 mile west of us, so you may want to book your rooms all together at one time.

Only 1 parking pass, no exceptions according to realty company, accommodations are average a not updated overpriced and you have to cross 4 lanes of traffic to get to beach. It's a long walk to water

Grand Beach Condominiums stay
Overall, OK. Some room for improvement: 1. Condo land line phone did not work 2. Road noise from the living area was a nuisance at night 3. Laundry included but overheated and stopped running mid-cycle. Would restart after a long wait. 4. No spices or other longer term items included. Spice rack there but empty. 5. No restock of soap and other items during a week long stay. Only one packet of laundry detergent in the week. 6. Bunk beds are for short people, not > 6 ft. Had to purchase at the store. Good things: Surveillance cams on parking area and patrols by security. Cheaper than high rent condos closer to The Hangout.

Amazing view with easy beach access!!!
I took my friend who is 76 years old and my nieces and nephews ranging in ages from 5 to 14 years old. The view was perfect for meditation and devotion every morning and a spectacular way to end the evenings. Having such easy access to the beach made the walk back and forth easy for everyone!! We also enjoyed eating at the local beach resturaunts and great places to explore for shopping!! We will definatley be making this trip again next year!!

Hotels.com should mention the location of the actual check-in is different than the posted address. That would've improved the arriving part of the trip. Access to the beach is good, except for having to cross the main beach road.

First condo rental at Gulf Shores
For my family's first trip to Gulf Shores, this was a great place to stay. we easily could have slept 6 people in our 1-bedroom condo because there was a sleeper sofa and bunk beds in a little niche off the living room. We cooked quite a bit, and we had all the basic utensils and such we needed. Grand Beach was a short walk from the beach.

Hotel Stay
It was a nice place and I would stay there again, but not in the same room or even on the same floor. There is not a view of the water like we were told, but there is on upper levels. This however was not the fault necessarily of the hotel but of Expedia.

Family Vacation
I absolutely loved the condo. It was great for the kids. They were able to move bout just as they could at home. The rooms were very clean. The location was great for the beach. It is across the road, but wasn't that bad of a walk. We had to drive a distance to find a good place to eat. But we were okay with that. We got to sight see a little more. It is very close to the fishing pier. That made us able to take the kids to the pier twice while were there. I would definitely go back again!

Weekend getaway with girlfriends
The condo was very nice. We had a view of the gulf from our patio. It was clean and had everything to cook with. The bunk beds helped out a great deal. With 5 girls and a 3 night stay we did have to wash bath towels everyday. Washer and dryer was in the room. It was a short walk across the street to the beach. I would suggest you bring toilet paper. We were provided with less than 1 roll. Bring paper towels and hangers. It was a very nice condo and will visit again.

Not too bad!!
This is an older condo unit that is managed by at least two different companies. This was my first trip to Gulf Shores and I had no idea of what to expect. This condo is located at the very east end of Gulf Shores adjacent to the State Park. It's NOT directly on the beach, but rather across the street. There is no other building directly in front so if you are lucky enough to get a unit above the ground floor, you still have an ocean view. Maintenance seems to be an issue here. Nothing horrible, just showing its age I guess. Our unit had kind of a "musty" smell to it but nothing to warrent leaving. Would I stay here again? Maybe. This is a smaller complex and I prefer smaller to the 1000 room high-rise places that line the beaches. Will I go back to Gulf Shores? YES!! I lived in Panama City Beach, FL for 10 years and for me, Gulf Shores has PCB beat hands down. Gulf Shores is much more family friendly in my opinion.

Room was great. Had never stayed at a condo before., so we were never told how to check in. We had to make several phone calls to get the key. Wished there were 2 tv s like the room description said. We only had 1. Sofa bed was very worn out and broken down, not so comfortable. We had a good stay and would recommend this condo to others.

Quiet place across the street from the beach. The unit was very clean and had everything you could want for a 4 night stay. Bunk beds were cool for the kids and the balcony overlooking the beach was nice as well. Spent time across the street at the beach which was gorgeous.

Very nice but not ideal for infants (under 1 year
Overall it was really nice and well maintained. The most aggravating part was check in which is located before you get to the resort. By the way.... the name of the building is not Resort Quest.... it is Kaiser Realty which would have been helpful BEFORE getting to Gulf Shores. I would recommend this resort for families unless you have very small children. I have a 10 month old and luckily I have a carrier that acts as a harness which made carrying him and beach stuff easier but the walk across the sands was very difficult. If you are taking a child that is under 3 I would recommend staying directly on the beach.

Great Condo! had a wonderful experience.
Overall my stay was wonderful there was only a few problems. There was a problem checking in because check in is not at the actual resort. There was only one roll omg tissue and one trash bag gota 5 day stay we had to go to the store. It is very clean and spacious enough for 8 people. I do recommend this resort if you are interested, and its also walking distance to the beach. And also the pictures on the website look nothing like the condo it's soo much better inside.

The truth about this location
First-of-all, it's not a hotel. There isn't a person on site as implied by telling us we could "check-in" late since we had paid-in-full, plus the term, "hotel". AT 1AM we had to figure out where and how to check-in and we're lucky a human answered the cancellation number and gave us the correct extension to bypass the weekend 800# menu. There was one roll of toilet paper for a four night-five day stay. The TV got very few channels and wasn't HD or large screen. We were told that to get an ocean view we would need to be on the 3rd fl. or higher, which we agreed to, so they put us on the 1st fl. with a great view of the highway. Then the cleaning fee was a complete surprise and required an additional credit card payment on top of our "paid-in-full" status. Hotels have receptionists, daily cleaning and don't charge extra for it! The floor was sticky and dirty. The dryer takes over an 1hr to dry a load? Pool facilities, parking, kitchen supplies and courtesy of ResortQuest staff were all excellent.

The condo was fine. I wasn't so happy that it wasn't readily advertised that I had to pay a cleaning fee. After arriving to check in, the person pointed it out on my confirmation but it was not apparent before I booked the room. He (at ResortQuest) even said that they have asked it to be made more apparent through your site.

A little disappointing
Unit was nice enough, but we were frustrated upon arrival to find: NO kleenex, NO coffee filters, NO clothes hangers at all, NO HD on the cable and only a basic package, 1/2 roll of toilet paper. Sure did not expect to have to go to the store and buy a boat load of stuff the first day.....
