Cozy low-key getaway for senior couple with beautiful views of beach and ocean. Short drive to restaurants, shopping, and Gulf Shores Beach. This unit could use a little freshening up, but it was clean and comfortable for us.

The room was very clean. Check in was fast and easy. Great view of the ocean. Loved the sunroom. The only complaint was someone before us didn’t wash the dishes very well and the toaster didn’t work. Overall everything was great!

The room wasn't clean. The mattresses were horrible. There was a pillow with a huge blood strain. The tubs wouldn't drain. The sliding glass door wouldn't stay closed. Half the electrical outlets didn't work.

Room needs some updating, but It was clean and roomy. One elevator wasn’t operating due to work being done on It, so thank goodness we were on the first floor. Good location. Loved the enclosed balcony!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in the studio apartment and absolutely loved it. The three of us (husband, wife and daughter) were able to share quality time together in the open space. The kitchen was surprisingly larger than we anticipated and the Refrigerator was full size, not dormitory. We were quite pleased with the room, the location, the convenience to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. We would definitely return. Our only complaint would be the size of the parking lot.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was on the beach & had an enclosed balcony. The unit had an adjoining door to another condominium. Every time some ran water we thought our unit had a leak. There was very small amount of beach space. There were ceiling tiles missing in the bathroom. The rental staff was very nice & went over everything throughly.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Only 3 towels @ washcloths for 3 women for 3 nights. Could hear water from other rooms (sounded like we had leak) Wasn’t told only one vehicle per unit was allowed. You can’t grill nor smoke when raining; bc there isn’t a cover to stand under.

4/10

Our first time at Gulf Shores and we were not aware of them renovating our condo. We were told it was ready for us. Exposed wires in hallway and in our bathroom, elevators were being worked. Most all outlets were useless because the plug ins wouldn’t stay plugged in very loose. Bed was falling apart and some of the light switches didn’t work properly. Overall the location was nice, right on the beach, beautiful view from our room balcony, had a nice pool, wasn’t very far from shops and restaurants.

Overall had a great vacation. There are some pros and cons to this unit. Cons- The beach in front of property was slightly on a hill and wasn’t wide at all. I walked a good distance down the beach in both directions and it was the same. Not sure if that’s typical for gulfshores as this was my first time staying. We typically go to FL but I’ve never experienced such a small beach. There aren’t really any pictures of the beach area in front of the unit online so I wished there would have been. There were missing ceiling tiles in the bathroom… didn’t affect our experience but for the price I would’ve liked it to have been mentioned prior to booking. Kind of a shock to just walk in and see. Extra blankets in a linen closet were all rolled up instead of folded.. made us wonder if they were “clean” because we already knew people had just Checked out the same day we were checking in. No towels can hang from balcony. We were only given 3 wash cloths for 2 adults to use for 3 nights. I can “make do” with reusing towels to dry off on but not having a clean washcloth per person per night or the ability to request more is a bit much considering the price point. Now to the pros. The unit and property grounds was clean and well kept. Parking was good. I’m sure that’s because they limit you on your vehicles per unit but that’s a good thing in my opinion. Location was perfect. Loved the beachside pool. Balcony had plenty of seating and a nice table. Bed was comfy.

My husband & I just wanted a relaxing lazy get-away and we got what we needed. The balcony was great to be able to sit out on no matter what the weather was. There is no washer/dryer or dish washer which was fine since we ate out and didn't want the extra work this trip. The only thing we used the kitchen for was our morning coffee. :p

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love GT but you GOTTA give at least TWO key fobs to the pool for each condo. It’s RIDICULOUS to have to coordinate every trip back and forth to pool or beach and DETRACTS from the experience. EVERYBODY complains
