The room was clean overall. One accent chair's upholstery needs cleaned. The closet in the bunk bed room was full of items and unusable. Construction around the pool and at the base of the condo was in progress while we were there, so there was extra noise and areas off limits.However, the views are perfect. The kitchen and master bed/bath are all updated and new. The condo was the perfect size for our group of 5. The access to the beach is simple and easy as well as parking and elevator access. Highly recommend to small groups or families.

The condo was clean. Online pictures a bit deceiving of the size of the bedroom with bunk beds. The walls are thin and you could hear everything going on outside. The elevator quit working. Talked to the host. Also tried calling the property manager listed on the property and was informed that do NOT manage that property anymore. Trash and broken glass stayed piled up at the garbage can by the elevator.

The Whaler 4A

This 2 BR-2BA property was perfect for my husband and I. We loved being right on the beach and the location was convenient for visiting neighboring beach towns. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were quite soft. All amenities were as described. Very clean and comfortable! Would stay again!

Great Location

Very nice view and right on the beach. Condo had everything we needed. Showing a little bit of wear and tear but a good value and so nice to be in a smaller complex. No worries about parking! There was construction going on in the complex so it was noisy but overall we enjoyed our time in Gulf Shores and would recommend staying here.
