Perfect spot by the beach for our family of 5 and 2 fur babies!
The condo was perfect for our beach stay! Just a short walk to the beach. There are also a couple little grocery stores very close for little forgotten things and a great little ice cream shop! The condo was clean and comfy too! Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thank you! Oh and JONATHAN! Jonathan was spectacular with communication and any needs! Thank you for a such a great vacation!
The pictures when booking were beautiful! We got there and it wasn't the cleanest. Thick dust on all the fans, which we had to use. The bathroom had used bars of soap in the shower. Also in the master, the cabinets were filthy. The diningroom chairs have dust bunnies on the bottoms. We were there for 4 days and only got 4 towels, I had to keep doing laundry. We loved the location, loved it was pet friendly and loved the board games. We would stay again! But it definitely needs to be cleaned better. I went to use the broom, to try to keep up with the floors and it was broke.
Nice place, Not too far from the beach (3rd/4th row) neighborhood was very nice and safe. We felt like it was a bit overpriced, But overall we had a great vacation.
This unit itself does not have "spectacular views" All you can see is buildings.
The front unit has a nice view of the lagoon. But The whole property in general only has a small obstructed view of the ocean.
The house was clean enough, but could definitely use a deep clean around baseboards and things like that (It's the end of season so I get it)
House is three large flights of steps up. It's doable, But we were there in a heatwave (100+ everyday) and we really dreaded the steps, especially because it was always hot inside the house as well.
Beach wagon and chairs were broke so we had to buy our own.
The stairs to the loft are tiny and not suitable for adults. But the kids did ok.
The pool was cold, which was nice when it was 104° outside, But definitely would not be enjoyable in any milder weather.
The AC unit needs to be replaced .We followed the "rules" to the AC to keep it from freezing up, but it still stayed over 75° or higher the whole time we were there. And the last two days it was always over 80° inside. We live in a location that gets this hot as well and have never had that problem before, so I don't feel it's fair to blame it on the heat alone (as they repeatedly do in the paperwork)
But we truly fell in love with Gulf Shores, And it was definitely a fantastic vacation.
We were able to bring our fur baby Baylee Mae with us which made it awesome. This condo was everything we needed and in a great location. Had bay and beach views. We will definitely stay there again.
This condo was perfect for our family. Check in/out was super easy. Condo was clean. Beach was within walking distance! Definitely had a great stay!

A slice of paradise
This beautiful clean condo smelled great when we walked in and was perfect for our family of 4 plus a best friend and a dog. Easy quick access to the beach, Waves grocery store and north point lagoon where our dog could enjoy a little trail by the water. (Thanks for sharing that best kept secret!) The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. They even have 4 beach chairs to borrow. Thanks for sharing this beautiful slice of paradise.
The owner and property management were fantastic! Any questions, they were extremely responsive and were addressed. The property was gorgeous and clean. Would definitely recommend!
Would definitely stay here again. Perfect location. Many extras on site for beach enjoyment. The minor issue was moldy coffee grounds in coffee maker. Notified management and the passed my picture onto house keeping with an apology.
Booked because it was pet friendly and convenient to everything. In residential area. Only a couple of stairs to get our pet outside to do his thing. More convenient than larger condos. Not on beach, but close to beach access and the state park. Can see ocean and bay from end of deck. Would book again.
