Family Vacation 2024

Overall had a great vacation. Only downside to the condo was that even though there were three bedrooms and bathrooms, the space felt overall cramped. Tiny bathroom with limited space to put baggage. Loved the location and view of the condo. There is a little less beach than most other condos I've stayed in but I loved that aspect. It was a step off the boardwalk and bam beach! Close to all our favorite restaurants! Other than feeling cramped we had a great stay!

Great Location, Amenities, and Accessible Beach

We enjoyed this property with my husband, two children, sister, brother-in-law, and parents. We loved that each bedroom had a large bed and its own bathroom. While the bathrooms are dated, they are clean and acceptable for use. The beach accessibility is also a huge pro with the beach front being short. We were able to place our chairs within 15-20 feet of the beach access. This was nice for my dad who has had to have double knee replacements. We all also enjoyed the short walk.

Beautiful condo in a perfect location

This property is in a perfect location-the sandy beach is only hundreds of steps away! There are plenty of restaurants and shops very close as well. The property was very clean upon arrival. Our only hiccup on this trip involved the parking passes- we caravanned in 3 vehicles. There are only 2 allotted per condo. Thankfully a kind neighbor helped us, but just keep this in mind if traveling separately. Overall a beautiful property and we will keep this in mind for future vacations.

Poorly lacking

When I read the reviews, it seemed that the only drawback was that it was dated. This condo was not clean and very rundown. Rug was stained and worn. Black mildew or mold was all over the vent. Scuff marks and peeling paint on walls and ceiling. It is a shame that someone can’t take the time to make these minor repairs. This place has potential. The balcony was very nice and had a beautiful view.

Needs minor clarification on VRBO. But CLOSE to beach!

There are 3 bathrooms, which is great. However, one is a garden tub; one has tub/shower, but no shower curtain liner, one is a stand alone shower. The toilet was flushing oddly and ended up stopping up in the main bathroom and we couldn't use it for 24 hrs. There were TWO plungers in that bathroom, so maybe happened before? You can tell one of the toilets and the thermostat were replaced, but paint hasn't been touched up around them. I got responses to text REALLY quick. Parking is $30 per car, which is a little high for just 3 days, but it was noted on VRBO.VERY close to beach. Love the french doors instead of slider also.

Just okay unit

We had a rough start to this trip. We had still not received checkin instructions (access code) at 3:45 so I messaged and texted. I did get a quick response and was sent the access code. When we arrived, we found the balcony door in the master bedroom open (it was storming and I had no idea how long it had been open). We also found a large clump of hair in the tub. I texted and received a response a few hours later that she could have someone come back to clean. (We declined as we had already cleaned ourselves). Other minor issues included the toilet running almost nonstop in the guest bedroom, the dishwasher had water sitting in the bottom so we didn’t use it, and the master bedroom TV had to be rebooted each night for the Dish to work.There were extra pillows but not pillow cases and no beach towels were provided so we had to purchase those items. The kitchen was well stocked and the view was beautiful.

Pictures and description are less than accurate

Good: great location, easy beach access, kitchen nicely updated immaculate common areas Negative: not as upgraded as described . Popcorn ceiling, bathrooms are original and living area very small for 3 bedroom unit. Renters must purchase a parking pass and no beach chairs or service provided Each tv has 3 remotes, most without batteries, and connected with extension cords for power Note: made and paid for the reservation on VRBO website. When the owner confirmed, she told me that a 3.2% fee would be added for using a credit card. She stated that to avoid the charge I should have paid by check. This was not an option on the website. Also the additional fee did not appear on any agreement. Owner did waive the fee. Our group really enjoyed our visit to Gulf Shores but were underwhelmed with condo as presented.

Great place right on the beach!

Pros: Nice place, on the beach, plenty of room, nice furnishings and decor, beautiful sunrises (no sunsets).Cons: King mattress on beachside was high in the center and sloped towards edge enough that I had to put a blanket underneath to even out. Didn't get to enjoy the patio much because of the chain smoker next door :(

Thanksgiving Break

We had a wonderful time. The kitchen is equipped almost as well as your own kitchen would be. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. I would suggest replacing the mattress set in the front bedroom overlooking the beach. It is extremely hard and not very comfortable. Overall - this is an excellent venue for 3 couples.

Great last minute stay!

Tropical storm had us booking a different location for the next day. We were happy to find this booking last minute. Price was good, location was amazing! Not the cleanest place we have ever stayed at and overall is showing its age in places, but not enough to deter us from enjoying our vacation. The balcony was fantastic and saw several dolphins! Lots of linens/towels provided which we appreciated being there for several days. Kitchen adequately stocked except potholders were not found. One tip: No beach towels so bring your own! Overall an enjoyable stay and would consider staying again!

Great Location but could have been cleaner

The condo was nice and in a great location. The building was nice and close to the beach, which was not too busy the whole time we were there. Check in was easy, but when we arrived to the condo, we immediately noticed that it was not clean at all. Food and dirt on the floor food on the walls in the trashcan and on the refrigerator. There was hair in the sinks and in the showers. I let the property manager know and she offered to have someone come in and re-clean the property but the point is for it to be clean when we get there. We don’t want to have people coming in as we’re just getting started on our vacation. So we cleaned it ourselves, and I asked if we could be refunded our cleaning fee since we painted the condo for ourselves. The property manager never replied.
