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.

We had a good stay. The condo was in a great location. The elevator was broken when we got there but Adonna called the repair person and they got on it. There was construction going on but didn't disturb us at all.

Great condo

Our condo and the area were spectacular. The only draw back was the elevator broke 3 times in 3 days leaving only the stairs for those days for 8 hrs at a time. However, with that said our owner and the property managers were great and help get the issue resolved each time. (After the first 3 days there were no further elevator issues the rest of the 7 days we were there) highly recommend

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.

Great location, but condos around under renovation

The condo was clean, well stocked, and perfect location. Don’t let the next part scare you-it’s not this owners fault/problem. The only issue was the construction sounds during the day. The elevator was covered in construction material, too. If you were looking to relax during the day, do it on the beach and not in the condo. The construction only took place during business hours (but forget sleeping in)!

Mixed feelings.

My husband and I enjoyed our coffee on the patio. As far as the place itself, we have mixed feelings. The building is in a state of disrepair. The condo is right across from the elevator and the elevator is very loud. The oven was very dirty. I did not want to cook in it. The condition of the pots and pans was mediocre at best. The TV in both bedrooms did not work properly.The beach was wonderful.

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!

First time to stay in Gulf Shores, will definitely come back. This is a lovely condo with everything you need to be comfortable. Great beach access, literally through the gate and on the beach.

Very nice location. Place was small, not very clean. Door to air conditioner broken, garbage disposal stopped working, toaster only half worked. Kitchen was well-stocked. View was gorgeous.

Family Vacation

This was our first time to the Gulf Shores, and this condo was perfect for our family, no frills just the basics which fit our budget and lifestyle well. Positioned beautifully to enjoy coffee out on the patio and watch the ocean waves. A quick walk out the back gate straight onto the beach.
