Perfect spot

The condo was perfect for our family trip! The location was great--short walk to the beach and short walk to a convenient store, restaurant and ice cream. Rental agency was extremely responsive to our texts during our stay. We would definitely stay again!

The property was very good, the area was excellent. It was very convenient to have cooking facilities, large refrigerator, and two (2) bathrooms. Yet, the bathrooms are a bit tight. Overall, it was very nice.

Great location for the price and size of space

This was a nice place to stay. AC was COLD… Right across the street from the beach… management was extremely nice and hospitable… place was clean and inviting. I’m definitely booking it for my next vacation in that area. Only negative was the plastic cups and that’s minuscule… 10/10… fit me my wife my 3,7,and 15 year old comfortably

Great Stay

Property was located right across from the beach and had a great view from the large primary bedroom. Kitchen was well equipped and we cooked several meals with no issue. Two bathrooms were very convenient and clean. The full size washer/dryer was a plus. Decks were great to enjoy coffee and the view. Plenty of room to stretch out. Property Manager was very communicative. We had no issues during our stay. It was a wonderful trip and I would definitely rebook!

Great location

This property is an older condo that has been redone to try and make it nicer. The pros are it’s right across the road from the ocean, response to issues were very quick and action was taken quickly. It also has a full sized fridge, stove, dishwasher and microwave. The cons are the upstairs carpet needs replaced. Lots of big stains. The king bed mattress appears older and “crunches” when you lay down on it. It served the purpose to sleep at but could definitely use a good deep cleaning.

First Time at Gulf Shores

We stayed for just about six weeks. PROS: Location was good but is on a busy street so keep that in mind. Easy walk to the beach. Condo was clean. Nice to have washer & dryer. King size bed was comfortable.CONS: Fire engine went by full sirens probably 4 or 5 times a day. Owner of adjacent condo didn’t appear to monitor their guests at all because, unfortunately, we had neighbors for a few days that played loud mariachi music, had 4 vehicles and left a heck of a mess outside. We must have had bad timing as far as maintenance as well because we had electricians come through the condo and also had to park away from the unit a day or 2 because they were pressure washing. Also returned one afternoon to find a maintenance man on the porch … to replace the AC filter. Unfortunately, NONE of these things were communicated to us in advance by management. Also the locks will evidently change codes after a certain period of time. I returned one time and my code didn’t work… after I had been there for over a month. Luckily I had my phone with me and had the management company phone number saved or else that could have been bad. It was fixed quickly but the fact is it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Again, no knowledge beforehand. Thought it was a little unusual that for the amount I paid, there was literally one roll of TP provided. We travel quite a bit and that was a first. Loved GS and returning this year but chose different location for our stay.

A few fixes would make it more delightful

We were grateful for the cleanliness of the property. A few recommendations would be to please hang a black out curtain in the main bedroom on the window over the bed. We were awakened at about 5:30am each morning due to sunlight. Even though we enjoyed our time, we would have appreciated the pool being much cooler. It was so hot, ( a cool hot tub) that we couldn’t swim in it. Our family enjoys swimming, so this would be the main reason why we would choose to stay elsewhere. The only other suggestion I would have is to allow guests to put their dirty dishes in the dishwasher and leave under those circumstances. We have stayed in many properties for over 25 years and never have we been asked to make sure all dishes were clean and put away before checking out. The convenience to the beach was a huge plus! Appreciate the communication with the property manager.

GREAT Stay!

First the property… so cute and very spacious! Clean. Plenty of towels and starter items like dish soap and detergent, shampoos and conditioners, etc. everything was clean. Such an easy walk to the beach. Honestly a shorter walk than I have experienced at some hotels that are on the beach. Now the property manager… my confirmation email stated no early check ins. However, I was desperate with a sleepy and cranky toddler that had ridden 3 hours and then spent another 2 at a softball game. Decided to call and see if it would be an option. I was able to check in early and the girl I spoke with was so helpful and made it super easy. We were originally suppose to check out Saturday morning but after the first day we really wanted to stay until Sunday. After another easy phone call, the property was still available and I was able to book another night. Property manager made everything so easy! Great stay, hope to stay again in the future!
