Overall, we enjoyed our trip to Gulf Shore and this condo was great! It was our first time in the area and we're definitely coming back. We appreciated the communication with the owner, and when we needed to add a day, it was a very easy process.
Pros:
- Right on the beach and beautiful views from the balcony.
- Getting the parking pass was much easier than expected and plenty of parking at the building. While no reserved spots, they claim to not oversell parking so a spot should always be available.
- Excellent location in Gulf Shores. Walking distance to the Hangout, Pink Pony, Burro Azul and Lauria's By the Beach (YUMMY Italian across the street).
- Wooden boardwalk from the pool area across the dunes to the beach. Very easy access!
- While we didn't rent chairs or an umbrella, they are set up every day right in front of the building on the beach.
- Kitchen was well stocked with needed appliances, dishes, pots/pans, etc.
- Primary room King bed very comfortable.
- Liked having the electronic front door lock and not having to worry about forgetting/losing an actual key.
- Great water pressure in the shower for being on the 4th floor. We have had issues with that in the past!
Cons:
- Unit is showing its age a little.
- Living room couch is "sunken" which happens to older sleeper sofas.
- Both double beds in the second bedroom squeak when you sit or lay on them.
- The remotes in the primary bedroom were a bit finicky.
Thanks! We'd definitely return to this condo!
