Great stay st Island Sunrise

The condo we rented was perfect for the two of us. It was clean, well-maintained, well-equipped, and nicely decorated. The beach access was perfect. Check-in and unit access were easy. The building as a whole, however, was not well taken care of. There was a huge pile of sand in front of the door to the stairs that was not taken care of for four days after we arrived, and the stairs were always really sandy. The pool was not cleaned on a daily basis. Those are just a few details that would have made the property more appealing. All in all, we had a great stay.

Great overall experience!

The only things we had issues with was bedroom tvs not working properly, the door giving issues while unlocking, and this was the first condo we've stayed in that didn't have coffee already. The host was very professional and prompt, he was a very good host. I'm sure I messaged him several times while he was busu, and that didn't bother him nor did it change his kindness. I'd book at this property again.

Great place to stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the condo. We were in town for my daughter's softball tournament. This is our 3rd time visiting Gulf Shores. We've stayed in bigger complexes before but I love this smaller complex....way less crowded. We were there for the 4th of July and I liked walking out to the beach for fireworks. Overall, our beach area was way less crowded than the bigger condo units, even for the holiday. We would definitely consider staying here again!!

Great condo

This is our second stay at this location and it was even better this time! Very clean! Very safe location. We love that this is a smaller building. The beach doesn’t get so crowded. I was nervous the week leading up to our stay as the beaches were double red flags and closed to swimming but we had great weather and only yellow flags (couple purple flag days). From here, you Can walk to shops and restaurants, or quick drive . The bonus is the washer and dryer in the condo. Made for easy unpacking when we got home since everything was clean already. We can’t wait to come back!! The owner is great to work with! See you next year!!

Fantastic Beach Stay!

Our family absolutely loved this little beach getaway! The owners went above and beyond helpful in the check-in process! The condo had everything we needed to cook daily, and we enjoyed morning coffee on the deck. Our teenage daughter loved that her room was not right next to ours so she could stay up late and watch movies with the TV in her room! It was a quick walk down to the beach and great access to things in town! We had zero difficulty finding parking in the complex. Thanks for the beautiful week!

Great for a big group

We have stayed in many homes on west beach. This house is great! Loved the convenience of the elevator… laundry in each floor… multiple of every kitchen appliance…. We had a couple of issues but both were taken care of quickly. The beds were very comfy …. Something that is very important for us. The pool is a plus! On the description, it says that the boardwalk was unusable. We were able to use the boardwalk. Although, it’s not exactly ideal. I would definitely recommend!

A Wonderful Place to Stay!

We loved staying here! It was our third time to Gulf Shores, but our first time at this condo and we would definitely come back. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and you can't beat the location. We loved walking to the Hang Out and around town, and of course walking on the beach. A great place!

Freeman Family Vacation

When we arrived it was very clean and very well decorated. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, including containers to keep leftovers. We cooked almost every evening as we were a family of 8. We loved being on the beach and so close to everything, as our teenagers enjoyed The Hangout. We were able to walk to the souvenir shops, The Hangout, and Island Market located together with the Surf Style souvenir shop. I would definitely stay here again and definitely would recommend this beautiful home.

Our family had a fantastic week at this condo. It’s location is great. Being on the first floor is a major plus and even better is the door is right at the top of the stairs. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The kids beach toys that were provided were extra. Ron is a fantastic host and I urge you to book this place now! You won’t regret it

About the host

Hosted by Ronald Daugherty

Host profile image
We are a military family and I started my career at Eglin AFB, FL. I've loved the beach since then. We purchased the condo to enjoy personally and to share with others.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property after walking on the balcony. You can see the water and hear the waves. Island Sunrise is a small complex with 60 units and has an elevator.

What makes this property unique

The complex has a covered patio with swings and chaise loungers. Three grills are available to cook your favorite barbecue. The pool provides fun for the kids and adults. Walk right across the boardwalk and your toes will be in the sand.
