Loved the access to the beach and that they had canopies and beach umbrellas and four chairs. We wished we could have extended stay it was so tranquil. The management company was so responsive.

Excellent!

We have stayed in several other condos in Gulf Shores over the years but this one by far was the best. Great location to local restaurants and attractions, condo had everything we needed for our stay, plus some. Great view off the large balcony with plenty of seating. Kitchen was very well stocked. Would definitely stay again.

Great location! Walk 1/2 block to Bahama Bob's. Beautiful ocean view from 13th floor. Clean and very well appointed. We had everything we needed! The 3BR/3BA was perfect for 3 girls. Two of the bedrooms had ocean view with access to balcony. I would definitely stay at this property again.

A Perfect Beachfront Getaway in Gulf Shores !

A Perfect Beachfront Getaway in Gulf Shores!Our stay at this beachfront condo in Gulf Shores, Alabama, was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking ocean views and the easy access to the pristine sandy beaches. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying coffee on the private balcony was a dream come true.The condo itself was beautifully decorated, clean, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the essentials, the beds were cozy, and the living space was perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun.The location couldn’t be better—close to great restaurants, shopping, and local attractions while still feeling peaceful and private. The building amenities, including the pool and fitness center, were an added bonus.Overall, this was one of the best beach vacations we’ve ever had! If you’re looking for a relaxing, beautiful, and hassle-free stay in Gulf Shores, this condo is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to come back!

Great stay

The condo was great, it was exactly as described, very clean, kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of linens, towels. The view was amazing, and it was close to many things to walk to and drive if you choose to do so. I would however recommend to the owner that a fresh coat of paint throughout the condo would do it wonders, along with a new ceiling fan in the master bedroom, we could not turn it on for it made a horrible sound at night, the mattress could also stand to be replaced in the master, it slanted slightly to both sides. The only negative to our stay was the elevators were so horribly slow, we were on the 13th floor and at times chose to walk up all 13 flights rather than to wait. There also is a huge discrepancy in your check in information on where to place the tag for your vehicle while parked in the garage, the check in info stated to put this on the drivers side dash (visible) we did this, only to come out and see that we had a warning on our windshield stating that our vehicle would be subject to towing or having a boot put on it for failing to properly display our parking permit. On the permit it states to put it on your mirror. The female security officer that we spoke with was beyond unhelpful and horribly rude while trying to explain that we had conflicting instructions on where to place it.

Our stay was wonderful! The condo is beautifully decorated and organized. Impressed with how stocked the kitchen is. We loved that not only the master bedroom but also the second bedroom had ocean views with a walk out balcony! Each bedroom has their own bathroom which was a plus as well! Each floor only has 3 condo units so it’s not an overly crowded complex which we also loved. Only issue we had was the fire alarms malfunctioned in the building on our last night and the building had to be evacuated at 2:30am but other than that, we had the best stay!
