Amazing condo with exceptional hosts

This condo has everything you could want at a place. The hosts definitely thought of the little details. They were easy to communicate with and offered a special touch for our stay. The location has a beautiful view. We enjoyed drinking coffee on the balcony each morning and watching the dolphins.

Absolutely wonderful!

This condo is one of the best we have ever stayed in. We have spent many years in Gulf Shores/ Orange beach area. Very well decorated and comfortable beds. Lots of room. Even the furniture on the balcony was wonderful. They go above and beyond others on amenities available, which is very helpful. Cannot wait to return! Have to add… it always hold a special place in this momma’s heart… my son got engaged on the beach ❤️ was a complete surprise to me and one I had wished for! Annie and David..Thank you for sharing.

FABULOUS!

This condo was fabulous in so many ways! We were amazed with all the “extras” that aren’t usually included, i.e., laundry detergent and fabric softener, beach chairs and towels, modern washer/dryer, toilet paper, a Keurig coffee-maker and various types of coffee pods, and lots of TV streaming services. The unit was spotless and the beds were so comfortable. Island Tower is right on the beach where there is a beach service right there. The beach service people set up our chairs and umbrellas and checked on us periodically throughout the day to see if we needed anything. Lots of food fare within walking distance. The owner was available for contact and could not have been nicer! We had an amazing vacation and would rent again!! Thank you Will and Anne!

Comfy beds, great view, wonderful host!

We loved our stay! The host was always super quick to respond and very helpful. The view was beautiful. The beds were super comfy and the water pressure is amazing! The only feedback we have is some sort of window treatments for the windows as a 5 AM sun wake up call with small kids is very early! Another note when considering how much to pack: one of the elevators went out almost every day we were there, so there was only one working elevator for 75+ condos/ 26 floors. On the last day, we had to take 4 trips down and up 12 flights of stairs as the condo was down to one elevator again. Busy check out day and long waits!
