Great location!

Great location. Easy access to beach and either a short walk or quick drive to plenty of food options. Property was clean, stocked with dishes, and everything in working order. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great for most of our stay, but it comes with the time of year. We would definitely stay again otherwise!

Gulf Shores Condo

The view is absolutely amazing! Unit was decent and clean and stocked with plenty of dishes and working appliances. A unit close by above us was being worked on causing very loud noises during the day. Cutting of material took place in the parking lot and got dust all over our vehicle. We had to hunt down a car wash to clean it. We reported both of these incidents to the office at the property. The toilet was loose in the master bathroom when we arrived and we reported it for attention needed. The bathroom sinks drained slowly and we reported these as well to ALBVR.

Our stay couldn’t have been better. The check in process was seamless. We had a wonderful 2 weeks. Swimming in the pool and walking along the beach were our favorite activities. Of course, the balcony view was beautiful so we spent a lot of time there too. It was just the two of us, and we found the master bed was extremely comfortable. Everything was great! Thank you for sharing your condo.

Perfect winter getaway

Very nice condo with a beautiful view of the beach and gulf. We enjoyed walking on the beach and watching dolphins playing in the water. The bed was very comfortable. All the dining chairs were very tall which made it a little uncomfortable for us older people, but we had a great stay never the less.

Loved the view from the balcony. We arrived very late, had our room code so no problem. Got our parking sticker the next morning. The only problem we had was that the stay was not long enough!

The condo itself was very nice, and the location couldn’t have been better. We did run into two minor issues during our stay:1. Staying in the East building meant we didn’t have access to the gym, though we made up for it by taking daily walks.2. We loved the idea of relaxing on the balcony, but nearby smokers made it difficult to sit outside for long since the smoke drifted directly onto our balcony.Aside from those things, we truly had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed our time there.

Great location, everything as expected. Only difficult issue was the tv. It went in and out of having channels available for watching. Would recommend the owner invest in a streaming service vs satellite; it may be more reliable?

Senior Year Spring Break 2023

Senior year spring break trip with my husband, son and his friend. The location and condo was perfect. The condo was nice with modern upgrades, with the perfect seating while watching whales in the mornings on the deck facing the ocean. Walking distance to the, “hang out” for the boys and across the street from a fun little Italian spot, called “Laura’s”. Live music at both locations. Only downside was, the timing of our trip was 50 degrees…other than that—was a relaxing short trip from normal life.

Mardi Gras

The condo was very nice ! Exactly what we needed!Only problem main bathroom only started us with half a roll of toilet paper. I know we had to furnish after I thought a roll. 3 women need at least a roll.We were not planning on going anywhere we first arrived. I’m sure it was a over look by house keeping.

Upon arrival our door code did not work BUT the woman at the check in desk was very helpful and even called the on call person for the condo and got us a new code. We loved being right on the beach. Only negative thing was there were a lot of gnats coming out of the kitchen sink. But a rep for the condo did show during our stay to address it even though we had not notified them.

Short but sweet

Condo was great. The ck in people were not very friendly. TV in the spare bedroom didn't work and the lady at the front desk was no help. The cleaning crew didn't do a very good job. So we cleaned and ran the vacuum our selves.

Average

Great location and the condo fit our needs. Overall, it was a fabulous stay and there were no major issues requiring a call for repair; however, the following things need maintenance attention (nothing that ruined our stay but small things that affect the listing): master bedroom shower knobs are falling off, no dresser in master bedroom, missing HDMI cable in twin bed room so TV didn’t work, mirror in master bedroom needs replaced as the design doesn’t allow an average height person or taller to see unless bending down, twin beds are extremely creaky with every slight movement due to the headboard being attached at the wrong height. Also, in the listing it says that there is a fitness room available. When we asked where it was, we were told we couldn’t use it unless we were in the other building (Island Winds west). This was misleading.
