Overall everything was fantastic

Went on family vacation for my son’s 18th birthday. Everything was absolutely fantastic. Great location. Loved that the condo had all beach needs that was needed such as chairs, umbrellas, etc. Couldn’t have asked for a better place. We absolutely loved and will definitely be going back.

Great stay

Clean rooms. Cozy and comfortable. Very short walk to the beach. Another perk is parking directly under the unit, which kept your vehicle in the shade and out of the heat. Great location!

Great location and space

We stayed in June 2021 and we're very happy with our experience. The location was truly one block from the beach (and the beach bathroom). The space was clean and as described. Stayed with a 3 year old and had no safety concerns (minus stairs which seemed steep). Would book again

Wonderful location and unit!

The unit was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family of 6. We had four kids under 8 and the walk to the beach was a breeze. It was easier than staying in a high rise with elevators, parking garages, etc. The owners have everything you need to take to the beach and that was a major plus for us! Sand toys, chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach wagon...all stuff we didn’t have to pack or purchase. We walked to the Hangout and several restaurants each night. We will definitely stay here again’

Family Friendly and Close to Everything! (Beach Included)

This property and the convenient location have our family already excited to go back to it! Although the bedrooms are on the top floor, they provided a baby gate that worked out perfectly to contain our 18month old. There are TVs in every room and the living room which was nice, too. Proximity and convenience to the beach/restaurants/shopping was PERFECT. There is a shower in the parking area so we never even used the ones at the beach- we just rinsed off in the one by the condo. The only recommendation I had for management was to provide a new beach buggy (hopefully a 4 wheel wagon that can fit kids and coolers) because the one provided was tall, with only 2 beach wheels, and had holes. The manager said they're going to provide a new one soon which makes us even more excited to return! Our whole family loved our first trip to Gulf Shores Beach! Restaurants we loved: Crico's Pizza and Acme Oyster House!

Amazing First Beach Vacation

We are a family of 7- including a baby. We all stayed at the house comfortably. Plenty of room. VERY clean. PERFECT location- straight across from the public beach/beach bathhouse/beach walkway. Highly recommended all the way around and we will be back!!

good vacation

The unit was nice and had the amenities we needed and that were advertised. There were only 2 drawbacks. There is a skylight in the hall upstairs that lights the hall out side the the bedrooms and bath very nicely. However, it is not shaded so by about 10am onward the upstairs is twice as hot as the downstairs. It makes both rooms fairly hot when sleeping at night. The second is road noise. Loud vehicles, emergency sirens are easily heard from the master bedroom so if you are a light sleeper bring a fan or some ear plugs. Other than that, the place was convenient to walk across the street to the beach, and nearby restaurants. Enjoy your stay.
