Great place!..just a few things of note

Loved the condo, beauty and so clean, will request exact unit in the future. Couple of heads-up items: the local management tel # is non-working but the Vacasa 800 was staffed with helpful agent. The king bed box springs needs replacing, it squeaks (LOUDLY) on any movement, even if just rolling over. Lastly to be clear, parking passes will be delivered and placed on counter for this unit (loved it) but the directions in the Welcome Packet for attaining parking pass is confusing…we had to call 800 for clarification.

Relaxing Beach stay

This condo was everything we hoped for. The space was immaculate with every room perfectly organized. I especially appreciated the labels on the light switches and the basket in the bathrooms to help organize our stuff. Last , but certainly not least, is the view. Amazing!!

Amazing!

My first time to Gulf Shores and would, without question, come and stay here again! The unit was beautifully decorated, was fully stocked with anything you would need for your stay (kitchen appliances, cookware & utencils, hair dryer, bath towels, extra blankets, pillows, etc.!), the seating on the balcony and the views made for perfect evening cocktails, a beautifully maintained complex that I saw many owners, who clearly take pride in owning at this location, taking care of. I cannot say enough about my stay - it was perfect in every way!

The property was great! Very spacious and clean. The owners did a great job suppling the home with everything you need... from the assigned covered parking to the tint on the sliding door.If you've ever rented beach homes you know that many will skimp on the basics like silverware and dishes. Not this one! It's the little things that make you want to book again,and I will specifically seek out this unit the next time

Plenty of room for everyone!!

The property was clean. The view was amazing!! We loved the oversized pantry to keep all of our snacks. The beds are comfy and having 2 full/queen beds in the spare room was nice for the kids. The water pressure in the bathrooms is also impressive. Having 2 complimentary chairs and umbrella was such a blessing in this August heat! Parking was easy and the pool was always clean.The only thing I suggest is turning the ice maker off at night while you sleep.

Awesome condo!

Don’t be discouraged by the entry door, it’s a bit beat up and rusty. Inside is a beautiful condo with a great view of the gulf. The condo is furnished with everything you’ll need for your stay! Comfortable furniture, large kitchen space with pantry, decent beds, large bathrooms, and a washer/dryer for any laundry you might need to do. Our family loved the easy access to the beach and also spent some time in the private pool. We highly recommend this condo!

Mother/Daughter Trip

We have been staying at Tropic Isles for almost 20 years and have rented several different condos/rooms. This was by far the BEST condo/room we’ve stayed in. It is super clean and updated. It has lots of space and the furniture is comfortable. One awesome thing about this one is the owners offered a set of chairs on the beach with the rental. This saved us 3 days worth of chair rental costs. We had NO issues with check-in or anything else. Everything worked great! We will DEFINITELY rent this one again! Thanks for being great condo owners and making this space great for renters!

Great Vaca Condo!

My granddaughter and I stayed 5 days. The condo was very clean, living room spacious with comfortable furniture, the kitchen was well equipped and good sized bedrooms. Loved that chairs and an umbrella right on the beach we’re provided. Balcony was great for early morning coffee or evening drink with very comfortable chairs. Plenty of bath towels, however only one kitchen dish towel. Visited Ft. Morgan-very interesting, the museum a must! Lots of laid back restaurants (The Pink Pony Pub yum!) and a quick jaunt to Orange Beach to shop at The Wharf was fun. Overall I’d stay there again!

Nice Place

We just stayed overnight, but the condo is very cozy and was the cleanest condo I’ve stayed in. However the owners could spend a few more dollars on a few things to make the stay a little more appealing. The bi-fold doors in the kitchen closet is held together by nails at the bottom which is a bit of an eyesore. Used bi-fold doors can be purchased on fb marketplace place for as little as $20 or new for around $90 and it’s a simple DIY. There is a short in the ceiling fan in the master bedroom. There isn’t enough voltage to light the higher end light bulbs that were installed. I changed them out with bulbs that were in the pantry and there was just enough voltage to barely illuminate them. I’ve installed many ceiling fans and this one has a short in it. I wasn’t able to get the TV work in the master bedroom. I followed the directions on the print out. I had no problems with the TV in the living room. But overall it’s a great place that I would recommend and stay again. Great location.
