Our stay was wonderful! The condo is beautifully decorated and organized. Impressed with how stocked the kitchen is. We loved that not only the master bedroom but also the second bedroom had ocean views with a walk out balcony! Each bedroom has their own bathroom which was a plus as well! Each floor only has 3 condo units so it’s not an overly crowded complex which we also loved. Only issue we had was the fire alarms malfunctioned in the building on our last night and the building had to be evacuated at 2:30am but other than that, we had the best stay!

Excellent!

We have stayed in several other condos in Gulf Shores over the years but this one by far was the best. Great location to local restaurants and attractions, condo had everything we needed for our stay, plus some. Great view off the large balcony with plenty of seating. Kitchen was very well stocked. Would definitely stay again.

Gorgeous view!

Everything was beautiful! The place is so big and clean and pristine and you can’t beat that view! We are going to miss sitting outside on the balcony having our coffee looking at that gorgeous ocean.The beds were super comfortable. The unit has everything you possibly could need in the kitchen in the washer and dryer worked great. And it was awesome being in walking distance of so many great restaurants.My only complaint is about the elevator…with two elevators for 26 floors the wait sometimes was overwhelming. People would have their massive beach carts crowding the space and we kept having to wait and wait and wait for the next elevator and then at one point they were doing maintenance on the elevator so that took even more time. It was just kind of annoying, but other than that, everything was great!

A Perfect Beachfront Getaway in Gulf Shores !

A Perfect Beachfront Getaway in Gulf Shores!Our stay at this beachfront condo in Gulf Shores, Alabama, was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking ocean views and the easy access to the pristine sandy beaches. Waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying coffee on the private balcony was a dream come true.The condo itself was beautifully decorated, clean, and fully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the essentials, the beds were cozy, and the living space was perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun.The location couldn’t be better—close to great restaurants, shopping, and local attractions while still feeling peaceful and private. The building amenities, including the pool and fitness center, were an added bonus.Overall, this was one of the best beach vacations we’ve ever had! If you’re looking for a relaxing, beautiful, and hassle-free stay in Gulf Shores, this condo is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to come back!
