Easy to beach and parking lot

This is an older property in general but this condo has been updated and is open and spacious. Beds are memory foam and comfortable as well as pillows. We had some maintenance issues that were addressed promptly (though not sure why 3 of the sinks did not drain upon arrival). The rental company brought extra hangars since the master only came with one. Patio furniture could use an upgrade. Chairs are pretty uncomfortable (Made of PVC piping) and sit very low to the table. My sister's unit on floor 8 provided beach chairs and umbrella. This unit provides nothing, so we brought our own and used them for the patio as well. For a week's stay, they do not provide enough toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher pods, or washer pods, so pack some extra to avoid a trip to the dollar store. This unit did not even have salt and pepper, let alone any basic spices or anything, though it did have plenty of coffee filters. :=) The biggest advantage to this unit is that you can easily access the beach and the parking lot with only one flight of stairs. The elevator in the building is very slow and on the first floor, we couldn't even get it to stop at all, so we had to go to ground floor and call the elevator to visit my sister on the 8th floor. Parking is very very tight, especially when people park large vehicles in compact spaces and can't park in between the lines. With that said, while frustrating, it is usually doable with a bit of finesse but leave extra time coming & going.

A Time Was Had!

We had the most amazing time here! Age ranges from 55 to under 1 and I think each one of us had just as much fun as the other as there was space and activities for all of us! In walking distance to so much! Easy process and we hope to be back sooner than later!

This property was amazingly beautiful and clean. Had everything we needed for the stay. Balcony right over the outdoor pool which made it nice to watch my kiddos while they were swimming and the ocean view and short distance to the beach was excellent.

Great condo in a great location!

This is our 3rd spring break in Gulf Shores. We usually stay next door but decided to stay at Castaways this year. We had a first floor condo so we utilized the stairs. Condo was well furnished! Every thing we needed for our stay. I was very surprised the refrigerator had an ice maker! Great addition! My only complaint was there parking lot. The spaces are too narrow. Luckily it’s a small complex and we made it work. Will definitely consider this for next year.

Excellent location.

Loved waking up to the view from the Balcony. Got to see dolphins even one morning. Great location to food and activities. Fit our group of 6 pretty well. The building is an older building. No gym, heated pool was broke so freezing for our time of the year, love they have a beach toy/item area you can borrow for the day. Are there things that can be improved yes... No potholders, lack of skillets, shower head. Did we have a great family time making memories yes. Loved location to the elevators made for easy in and out. Think they just need to stay a week themselves and see some small details that could be improved, but for the fall season it was affordable and a great getaway.

It was ok.

This is the first review I have ever left... We are not too picky but we did have some issues with this property that we want to warn others about. Parking is a nightmare. The spaces are tiny and people had to park over the line. I had to climb through the passenger side. For some people this would not be possible. The room is located on 1st floor you hear EVERYTHING all night. It is beside the trash shoot so you get the noise from that as well. Lightening struck the elevator luckily was not as bad for us as it was for others on higher floors. This is just something that happens and understand that but it was down for several days. It is an older building. Every morning EARLY (5-6AM)construction with hammering and metal grinding was happening outside balcony and window. It was not awful but cannot say I would stay again.

The condo was exactly as described with great beach access. Condo was clean and comfortable. My husband and son enjoyed playing chess during the light rain one morning. No issues what so ever. Property manager was very helpful as well. Enjoyed the leave one take one beach toy area. Chair rental on the beach if you don’t have chairs. Will stay here again! Washer & dryers were a plus.

Unit Not Bad but Parking Not Good

An older property with somewhat lackluster maintenance. But overall not too bad. The location is very good. The parking is horrible. There does not seem to be enough parking for all the units at the property and if you drive anything other than sub-compact what is there is way tight. They do have additional parking about a block away but it was in an off the beaten path area. Would I stay again? Probably not unless there were no other options.
