A great condo for relaxing and enjoying family time! The hosts do a great job of taking care of your needs and the staff at the complex takes tremendous pride in what they do. We loved the ease of access to the beach and close location to all of the popular attractions that are in the area. Would stay here again!

Family Beach Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. The beach was in view from the back patio and the boardwalk was a short walk. The kitchen was fully stocked to make meals. The master bed was very comfortable. My kids enjoyed the bunk beds and the TV in their room. The pool was a very short walk and enjoyable as well. Some restaurants were within walking distance. We would stay here again!

Amazing!!!

We had a wonderful stay at your property and enjoyed every single thing about it. Check in was great, we enjoyed meeting in person and going over the do’s and do not’s. We LOVED that your place was very convenient to everything. The view from the room was AMAZING, beach out the front door and pool right outside the back door. Thank you for the little treats you left the kiddos, they enjoyed them. It was also great that you had beach chairs, buckets, surfboards , etc for us to use. We hope to stay in your place again soon. Thanks again for EVERYTHING ❤️❤️❤️

Perfect location and simply relaxing!

What a great location! The owners were super sweet and also present for check-in which is a little different than we were used to, but also helpful as any questions we would have had were settled up front. Once checked in we enjoyed a relaxing three nights steps from the ocean and all the shops and restaurants Gulf Shores has to offer! Loved it!

Great location

We loved that the property was right on the beach, so we could simply take the boardwalk directly from the property to the beach! The beach was not terribly crowded in front of the property, so we could always find a good spot. We also liked that the condo was on the first floor, making it easy to haul things in and out. The condo was comfortably furnished and decorated in a fun beach theme, and the kitchen had good appliances and everything we needed to cook meals. The property owners were very nice and easy to communicate with. Overall we had a wonderful experience!

A let down.

Advertised twin over full not available. Owners blamed previous renters. Instead Owner had a twin bed and twin inflatable. Not helpful given that we rented the unit specifically for twin over full sleeping arrangement. Mold on shower curtain in master bathroom. Dust bunnies all over ceiling in master bedroom. Whistling sound from main door when shut; it’s not sealed properly.

A great beach getaway

Check-in is a little unconventional as stated in other reviews. The owner MUST be there to meet you and check you in, so be prepared to plan for a timely check-in and for her to review expectations. Once we were there, we had a very friendly welcome and show around. Not a big condo, but we did not need a big place to stay as we were mostly outside and out doing activities. They are very particular about their place, but this is their home for part of the year. Not for partiers!! They have everything you need and also left a couple food items, which was very sweet. Right on the beach and well taken care of! Nice to be first floor with a toddler. Would definitely stay again.
