Perfect Family Vacation

Lively stay with beautiful weather. The ocean was calm, the beach was white powder sand, and the walk between the condo and the beach was very short! It’s close to lots of restaurants. The rooms had black out curtains and a box fan for white noise. Furniture was comfy and we appreciated the luggage carts in the lobby. Will definitely come back!

Really nice condo!

The condo is nice and has the biggest balcony of any place we have ever stayed. View of beach is great. Only downside is that the pool is a little small but we always spend our time on the beach so that didn't bother us! We have already decided that we will stay at this property again

43rd Anniversary 💕🎉

We were celebrating our 43rd Anniversary and wanted to stay close to the ocean , we’ve stayed other places and they were so far from the water you couldn’t hear the waves, this condo was perfect! We enjoyed every minute of our stay and we will be back again next year💕

Perfect Spot!

For our first trip to the Gulf Shores area we chose to stay right on the beach and could not have been happier with the condo. It was very clean, roomy and comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the balcony taking in the amazing views; watching dolphins, pelicans, seagulls and people on the beach; hearing the ocean waves as they put us to sleep each night; and walking the beautiful beach every day! When we first arrived we had a little issue with the door lock but the owner was easily reached and very responsive and was willing to have a maintenance person come quickly (didn’t end up needing to fix anything). We can’t wait to stay here again!

slightly disappointing

The condo in and of itself was very nice. With that said, I was disappointed in not knowing that there was significant construction going on which was very noisy. It also impeded the view for picture taking from balcony with the ropes and equipment. The pool was also closed. Had I known this I probably would have chosen a different location.

Birthday trip

This condo is very pretty, parking is easy, location is convenient. The one elevator is a bit slow, and the pool area isn’t anything to write home about, but that isn’t why we were there anyway. The view is exactly what I’d hoped for and beach access is as easy as it gets. Great value.

Great place!

Place was great! Clean, smelled great.Decor is cute and not tacky feeling. Felt really big. We had 2 adults and 2 smaller kids in our party and we had plenty of space for us all. Master shower was great! Balcony had great views! The seating is different than pics. Tall table with chairs was really comfortable and it had 2 longer chairs as well. If you are facing The Hangout, this was to the right on the quieter wise. What I loved most was the short boardwalk to beach and the walk then to actual water was short as well. Perfect if you don’t want to get warm out just getting there lol. The only con would be the pool area. On the smaller side and not much for kids. We were there for a short visit and more focused on beach so my kids didn’t care. If it were a longer stay I’d definitely want a different pool area. But that has nothing to do with this wonderful hosts. For my needs this was 10/10.
