Gulf shores trip

We have stayed at ocean reef before - in a different apartment. This one is the same layout so we knew ahead that it were hold be enough room for the two of us. The apartment was clean and well stocked, and convenient to a lot of places. We walked most of the time . We will come back to this place!

Cant beat the location

Just a very breif walk to the beach. Easily walk to Bahama Bob's, Pink Poney Pub, and the Hangout. There is also an Alvins Island and a couple of liquor stores right across the road. My only complaint would be that the family that stayed in the room above us walked really hard lol
