Beautiful view of the Gulf from the balcony.

Very nice unit. It was clean and comfortable. Location is right on the beach. You can dolphin watch & people watch all from the comfort of your balcony. The location is close to many things to do, eat and shop. We had a great 7 day stay.

We loved our stay and appreciated the prompt communication with the host. For those bringing children, they do empty the dumpster at 4am every morning and it is loud! The space was nice and we had a lovely week.

Property is well maintained. Clean and secure. Unit 657 coffee makers (x2) missing parts to properly make coffee. Unfortunately elevator broke down prior to checking out and had to use stairs from 6th floor. View and location was great and I would consider booking this property again in the future.

The condo is on the top floor (6th) which was perfect for viewing dolphins swimming up & down the coast several times a day. The balcony furniture was nice—two tall chairs to see out over the railing. The unit was clean and comfortable. It is close to the one elevator, and we did not have to wait long for it, since this must have been a bit of an off week. It is not a long walk to the beach, either. Our only request would be for a grab bar to be added at the tub area for us seniors! Getting in & out of the tub was a little precarious. We loved staying here and will consider staying here again if we come back in the future.

First off, we love the location right next to Sea N Suds restaurant. Beautiful, clean beach and the condo is always very nice.This was our second stay at Island Shores, with the first and second stay both having elevator outages. This time the elevator was out Tues thru Thurs. We noticed several older people struggling to climb several stories up and down to their rooms. We can understand an elevator going out one time, but this is now both times we've stayed at Island Shores so we will consider another condo to stay a week in the future.The management company should understand a potential liability if someone with a health condition try's to walk up 7 stories. It would be wise to replace the elevator and post a current inspection certificate inside the elevator because the one there now is out of date.
