Property was clean and well maintained, grounds and pool were lovely, beach was easily accessible, delicious food was a short walk away. Will happily visit again!
Clean property with good amenities. Apartment was well stocked and in a great location for beach access and a pool. Very nice balcony. Family trip with small children and accommodations were great.
My family and I loved staying here. We were relaxed and enjoyed the amenities this location offered. The room was great and the beds we comfy except the pull-out sofa but that is to be expected. We would defiantly stay here again!
Had a great stay. Place was the perfect size for our small family of four. Host was super helpful and was quick to address our questions. Beach was clean and not super busy. Kids loved all the options at the facility and resturant on site was amazing. Will for sure stay again.
Love this area we stay at the plantation every year. This room is on the second floor almost in the middle. Nice board walk to the beach two pools and a hot tub right by. Great view from the balcony as well.
We really enjoyed our weekend here. The listing was exactly as described, and the check-in process was easy. It's right next to the pool and a very short walk to the beach. I highly recommend this condo.
We had a wonderful time at this condo. The location was perfect. We were close enough to Gulf Shores if we wanted to go there but enjoyed the less crowded resort and beach. The condo is in a great location inside The Plantation. A short walk to the beach and a great view of a pool right outside the balcony. Wonderful stay and we will return.
The unit was very clean. Check in and communication with property owner very easy. Good proximity to beach and restaurant. Comfortable king size bed in the primary bedroom.
The unit is as it shows in the listing. We enjoyed our stay and loved the convenience of the unit. It was perfect for our family!
The manager of the unit was wonderful to work with and easily accessible if needed! We have booked through her since our last stay.
We had a really good time
Condo was very nice,
although the kitchen is very small and could use some updated appliances, stove and toaster weren't the best.
But not a huge issue
We really enjoyed the beach and our stay
Thanks
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Plantation. Food at Sassy Bass was fantastic, The beach was beautiful we had numerous pools on site to choose from. Only complaint we had was a group of rowdy children that weren’t disciplined by their parents and not following the pool rules. More security needed for the pool area, Thankfully we had many to choose from. If staying you will be paying for laundry services in a common area. Overall great trip.
Only suggestion would be toilet flushed slow needed to hold handle down and bathroom tub faucet dripped.
Beds and furniture very comfy. Would definitely request this unit again.😊
The condo was so cute, exactly as pictured. It was a little smaller than I realized in the kitchen area but that was okay. Close enough to the beach with a nice view. Kids liked the indoor pool. A little further from town and restaurants but not a big deal. Only thing we didn’t like was how noisy it could be with people in the hallway and the people above us. Besides that we had a great time. Would definitely recommend.
We had an amazing stay in unit 1240. There were three adults, and four kids (2 preteens). There was plenty of room for all us. It can easily sleep 8. The condo was clean and well equipped with what we needed. Just take you a large skillet if needed. We improvised with what we had.
We were steps away from the boardwalk to the beach and one of the many pools was right outside our balcony. We will definitely put this location on our list to revisit.
