Awesome location

The condo was great! Super close to the beach, being on floor 1 it was easy to walk the stairs with all of the kids and our things. The room was decorated beautifully, beds are comfy. We had plenty of space for my family of 7 to spread out.

Great location and view

Very open and comfortable property. Many properties are very narrow to make the best use of space but this condo has a great entry and is not nearly as narrow as some others. Felt spacious. Condo looked just like the pictures. Very quiet. We enjoy walking and this was a very easy walking to various restaurants. Could use some towel hooks in bathrooms and empty cabinets for groceries. We would definitely return again.

Beautiful condo on the beachfront!

We loved this condo! The location was on the fist floor, right near the pool with easy access to the beach, very short walk. We liked that this is a small, low density condominium. The pool was very clean and we had it to ourselves most of the week. The unit was beautiful inside with plenty of space and very clean. We were pleasantly surprised to find a desk in the master bedroom and stainless steel cookware instead of all non-stick pans! A couple of things: I could not find a broom anywhere in the unit to use with the dust pan and the light in the master bedroom shower is burnt out. Otherwise everything was great! We would love to rent this unit again on our next trip!!

Gulf Shores Getaway

The condo was much nicer than expected. Beds were comfortable, water was hot, and check out requests were minimal which was nice. The ice in the fridge did taste kinda funny, but with enough rum it didn't matter LOL. The kitchen was very well stocked with supplies. You can see the beach from the balcony and enjoy the sea breeze, but because you're on the first floor you can't see all the sand due to the dunes (which we didn't care about). We did have an 18 month old with us and the condo isn't kid proof, but we made it work. The master bedroom was very roomy, the other rooms were not very roomy but not so tight that you cant move around. We were able to fit a pack n play in the closet in one of the "guest" rooms but that was the only place it would fit. We were mostly worried about kiddo breaking the lamps or spilling on the white couch.The kiddo slept in the pack n play since the "guest" rooms were queen size beds. Every bedroom had a tv and the living room had a nice size tv as well. Some streaming services were available on the tv, but we couldn't get spotify which was a bummer because noone brought a speaker and there was no sound bar. Another pro is there is a liquor store within a short walk from the condos. This place is really nicely located to Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, and the pier. The ONLY slight negatives to this place are as follows: toilet paper is provided, but it is 1 ply and for 6 people for 5 days there wasn't enough (thank god one of our people alw
