Perfect Getaway

My husband and I with our 3 grown kids had a wonderful week. The condo was great and just as nice as the pictures. The only negative I could give would be that I'd like a bigger shower in the master, but I would definitely stay here again. Taking an afternoon nap on the balcony would have to be my favorite activity! The end unit on the 8th floor was quiet and a nice breeze. Easy walk to many restaurants was a plus. Can't wait to come back!

Unit was clean and large enough for 5 adults, 2 teens and 3 children. Plenty of room for everyone to sit. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and everything worked. Itrip contacted me with maintenance issue in condo, follow up with stay and again with tropical storm Cindy. Would recommend condo and itrip.

Great winter getaway

We loved everything about this property. The only problem we had was with the televisions. There were no remotes so we couldn’t stream our on line services. The property manager sent someone over the following day with a remote and the problem was resolved.

Family trip

Everything was just as it was mentioned on the website. It was clean, peaceful, and so comfortable. It was a few things that need to be changed like more towels, trash bags, and broom and dustpan. Also, more places where you can take your trash to which is more of an issue with the building itself and not the condo. Other than that the stay was awesome and I will definitely be visiting again :)

This was a great condo to stay in! Very spacious and well kept. The only thing I’d suggest is more blankets for the beds. We didn’t have enough provided for the trundles and had to use travel blankets we brought with us. Other than that, everything was perfect!

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores and The San Carlos was a perfect place to stay. Great location near plenty of restaurants and shops. The pool was perfect, loved the partial canopies to stay in the shade even while in the pool. We'll be back!

No Labor on Labor Day Weekend

Overall stay was good. The 809 San Carlos unit was exactly as advertised, clean, large and roomy, many amenities, with a very large deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico with white sandy beaches. The check in and check out process was very easy. The only slight drawbacks to the property such as the following: 1. If parking is full at condo property you have to park across the East Beach Blvd. 2. If you are a big and tall person like me, the master bedroom bed is too soft and the mattress needs to be more firm. The other beds were about the same. 3. Other rentals we had in past included beach chairs and umbrellas for their guests. This one you have to rent them daily and they are taken up at 5 pm each day. We loved the pool right on beach and ease of beach access. The staff at San Carlos was excellent as well and very professional especially at check in desk. Thx for making a nice visit to Gulf Shores

Wonderful

We were very pleased! The condo was was very clean and beautifully decorated. The workout room and pool were very nice. The only things I would change would be the sliding door to the balcony In the master bedroom wouldn’t open and the mattresses were cheap and soft with a dip in the master one. We would definitely stay here again, especially if these items were fixed. The elevators were great too.
