Very nice property and location!

We liked the central location. It was close to the entertainment and restaurants we wanted to visit. The convenience market across the street was great. Watching the dolphins from the balcony in the morning and evening was entertaining! The pool was clean and nice in the late afternoons.

Fantastic location

The furniture is dated and the condo could use some sprucing up. But the location is just wonderful! This was our first time to Gulf Shores and we will definitely return!

Over all it's a great place to stay

This is our 2nd trip to Gulf Shores and the 2nd time to stay in this building. The building is older but clean and both condos we stayed at where nicely remodeled. I really don't want to take away from what the owners have but I would like to point out a couple of things that could improve the stay. It seams trivial but bar height tables and chairs on the balcony would be a plus. We love sitting on the balcony enjoying the view with a drink or cup of coffee and looking through bars kinda takes away from that. At least a couple cheap beach chairs and umbrella that the guests could use would be nice. The previous condo had those amenities. Over all great place good location!
