This condo was clean and well kept. I preferred a property this size as opposed to the monstrously huge buildings on the beach. The price was competitive and the host was very prompt in answering messages. My kids enjoyed the close beach access as well as the pool that was just outside our condo. I fully plan to stay here again in the future.

Great location and views

We really loved our stay here- it is right on the beach and we could park really close to the stairs. It does have an elevator also. There were several great restaurants within walking distance, and we hardly ever needed to drive anywhere. Hope to be back soon

It was so peaceful drinking our morning coffee on the balcony watching the sunrise over the waves. It is a very short walk to the beach. Being on the second floor there was no need for the elevator, other than unpacking upon arrival. Easy check in and check out. The owner was very attentive and super nice! My family and I have been staying here since I was a little girl. We create memories now with my own family. We love Southern Sands so much we already booked again for next year! Thank you for sharing this gem with us!

Great Beach Getaway!

We loved our stay at Gulf Shores. Sheryl, the property manager, was wonderful to work with! The unit was super clean and comfortably furnished. This unit is directly beach front. The balcony has a sofa, chair and table w/chairs - plenty of room to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. We walked to the shops, restaurants and the Hang Out - a hit with my college age sons! Thank you for a wonderful Spring Break. We will be back!

Beach decor, beautiful ocean/beach view with the balcony overlooking the sand below. The beds are super comfortable and the air conditioning works great, which was really needed during the extreme heat. We couldn’t ask for a nicer place to stay at a reasonable price, right on the beach. Thanks for a great time.

Great location

This location was just about perfect for our family of four. Plenty of room on the beach, and super close to shopping and restaurants. There was a slight issue with the garbage disposal, but we had great communication with Sheryl and we found we could work around it without much hassle. All the information for check-in was spot on, but we unfortunately received it after we already had left our house and had to swing in a buy a few supplies for our stay once we got to the condo. Overall, very happy and would stay here again.
