Awesome

The view from the balcony was awesome. We loved that it wrapped around so u could also get some sunsets. Also had a good breeze at night in the dead of the summer. The condo was clean and had everything u needed in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable. It was also very close to restaurants (a few within walking distance)Had a great week at the beach!

We absolutely loved this unit and Mark was very easy to communicate with. Not a single thing bad to say! I would caution not to leave your beach items in the outside storage area between the beach and the parking lot we had a few items stolen but that is in no way their fault. We 100% plan to return! In 25 years of annual beach trips this was our favorite!

Overall great place

The condo was great. Very clean and well stocked plus the view was amazing. Only issue was the couch and chairs that were uncomfortable. But overall the condo itself was great. The nuilding amenities was not great. Suana smelled funny, pool was ice cold and hot tub didn't have jets so basically a tub of hot water. The beach was perfect. Gulf Shores was a nice town and we ate some great food. I would definitely visit again.

Great location

The condo was very clean, and had everything you needed. The condo was in a great location for walking to just about anything you want. Beautiful views from the balcony. The beds were very comfortable. The owners are very responsive if you need anything. The kids were disappointed the pool heater was broken all week, but there is nothing the owners could do about that.

Relaxing and refreshing

This get away was an amazing blessing for us. We had an awful experience with hurricane Helene in NC lost some friends in the storm. And we were able to get away from the devastation for a few days. The owners of the rental were very gracious,and good to my family. A great vacation spo.

Great stay!

Everything was nice and so clean! Would like to let the homeowner know that when we checked in, and checking out the condo, a shard of glass broken off of the master bathroom mirror was on the floor. We saved it and put it in a ziplock bag in the top bathroom drawer. Whether tenants before us broke it or cleaners; but we wanted to report it. I took a picture of it. We would love to come back! So thank you!

This corner unit feels very open with all of the windows on the west side. The wraparound balcony was awesome! The beach and pool were only steps away! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to make many great meals. It was very clean and the check out process was easy.

Wonderful Condo/Unit

This is a beautiful, clean condo in a great location. Being on the corner with extra windows and light on the side was great. We loved that the owners provided enough basics like dishwasher & laundry detergents and bathroom supplies that we didn't need to buy any or resort to hand-washing dishes all week. The included beach chairs, umbrellas and toys were a nice addition as well. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

As soon as we pulled up, we noticed how lovely this place was. When we opened the door to the condo, we knew this was the place for us! It was beautiful! 4 floors up, right on the beach! The patio is setup perfectly to enjoy morning views and the evening sunset. We loved the wrap around balcony. Going to and from the beach and/or pool was so easy. Elevators were quick! Communicating with Mark and Erica was easy and they responded quickly to any questions we had. The beds were super comfortable. We cannot wait to come back!
