About this property

Serenity: Island Tower 702 3BR 3BA, 2 Gulf-Front Masters, + Free Beach Service!!

Center Unit with a 3 room wide, private Gulf-front balcony extending the width of the living room and two master bedrooms and providing an unobstructed panoramic view of the Gulf of Mexico.


SERENITY GULF SHORES is a Gulf-front 3 bedroom and 3 bath, center unit, located on the 7th floor of the modern luxury condominium complex called Island Tower located directly on the Gulf of Mexico at West Beach of Gulf Shores, 0.5 miles west of Gulf Shores Pkwy (Hwy 59) on West Beach Blvd. It has a spacious interior with stunning views of the ocean and the white powder beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and all the amenities that one could ask for.

SUNCOAST BEACH SERVICE: You can leave your umbrellas and chairs at home. The rental of two beach and umbrella sets (4 chairs and 2 umbrellas) is included each day for guests without an additional fee. That is 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas set up on the beach for you to enjoy each day. This service is usually $80/day/2 sets. Additional sets can be rented on site. Beach Service is available March 1st through October 31st, weather permitting.

Island Tower is centrally located near restaurants, shopping malls, fishing, water parks, amusement parks, golfing and the State Park. This condo is within walking distance to area restaurants (Bahama Bobs, The Hangout, Desoto’s, Deli/ice cream parlor, pizza and others), nightlife, and several souvenir shops. It is 10 minutes from a movie theater, 20 minutes from Outlet mall shopping in Foley and the famous music destination Flora-Bama. Grocery delivery is available through InstaCart and/or other grocery apps.

This condo has approximately 1,600 sq ft with 9-foot ceilings, tile floors, floor-to-ceiling tinted windows and sliding glass doors. The gourmet kitchen has stainless steel appliances, including glass cook top, double oven with microwave, and dishwasher, granite counter-tops, and beautiful cabinetry. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances with double ovens all set in granite counter tops. The condo has 8 foot interior doors and high efficiency air conditioning system.

The living room and two master bedrooms each have floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that lead out to the private Gulf-front balcony and an unobstructed panoramic view of the Gulf of Mexico. In Island Tower, the highly desired center units have a single, large (i.e., three rooms wide) and private Gulf-front balcony. The spacious balcony is very private allowing you to enjoy the ocean, not other buildings. The 7th floor is a perfect height!!

This condo is close enough to the pool, fitness center and 4th level parking that you can easily use the stairs instead of relying only on the elevator. This is a center unit with large windows that make for a sunny and cheery atmosphere.

BEDROOMS AND BATHS: There are two master bedrooms and one guest bedroom.

The first master bedroom has a king bed and a private bathroom with double vanities, a jetted tub, separate shower, and walk in closet. The first master bedroom has floor to ceiling windows facing the Gulf and direct access to the Gulf-front balcony.

The second master bedroom has a king bed and a private bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The second master has floor to ceiling windows facing the Gulf and direct access to the Gulf-front balcony.

The third bedroom has a queen bed and a bathroom with a tub/shower combination that is located just outside the bedroom.

Each bedroom has a TV and a DVD / Blu-ray player.

LIVING ROOM: Living room has a queen sleeper sofa (upgraded mattress very nice) for an additional sleeping area and a TV and DVD / Blu-ray player. Living room has floor to ceiling windows facing the Gulf and direct access to the Gulf-front balcony.

PRIVATE BALCONY: SERENITY is located on the 7th floor - a very desirable low floor of Island Towers Condominiums that gives you an excellent view of the beach and pool areas. Being a center unit, the Gulf facing balcony is 50% wider and more private than end units in the complex. The spacious balcony is very private allowing you to enjoy the ocean, not other buildings.

The large balcony is very nice to sit out on and has a table with four chairs, a lounger and a side table. You will be close enough to identify your family and friends at the beach but far enough away from the outdoor pool that noise is not a problem (In the higher level condos it is harder to identify people on the beach.) The 7th floor is a perfect height!!

ISLAND TOWER COMPLEX: Island Tower is a 26 story low density building with 62 units (three to each floor) with covered garage parking located 0.5 miles West of Highway 59 in Gulf Shores. The property has an infinity outdoor pool (unheated) on the ground level and an infinity climate-controlled indoor pool on level 3.

Wonderful view, beautiful beach.

The property was great. The condo was big, lots of space and very nice. We were told about the construction but was not told the outdoor pool was out of service during construction. Was not aware we would need to by paper towels, dishwasher detergent and extra toilet paper if needed. Only had 1 roll per bathroom. Not a deal breaker but felt we needed to keep running errands on our vacation.

Best condo rental in 16 years

Most important is bed comfort. A 10! We rarely go out as it cuts into our beach time so fully stocked kitchen is important to us. A 10! Beach chair rental inclusion - 10! Initial soaps, paper toweling and other initial essentials, and number of towels - a 10! Decor and comfortable surrounding - 10! Internet access, cable TV, keyless entry - 10! Elevators were fast. Parking was no problem for us. We were able to walk to restaurants, shopping. Owner was extremely responsive and upfront with us during the construction. We’ve been renting in PCB, Orange Beach and Gulf Shores for 16 years and this condo, by far, was the absolute best! Thank you, John.

PERFECT PLACE!

We’ve stayed at several condominiums over the years and this one was by far our favorite. We usually shoot for the lowest floor possible with kiddos so we were hesitant with this being on the 7th floor, however, the elevators are awesome. We never waited more than 10-15 seconds going up or down. The condo itself was super clean, updated, and spacious. Not too mention they had EVERYTHING you might need while at the beach. We’ve never rented chairs on the beach so I wasn’t sure we’d use the ones that was included with renting this condo - but I was WRONG. I’m so glad that the chairs were included. We didn’t have to load up near as much to take to the beach, especially when just my husband and I would go down alone without the kids (stayed with the grandparents;)). All in all one of the best trips we’ve taken!

Why they chose this property

Gulf Shores is a beautiful and fun Gulf-front town to visit year round. We especially enjoy staying at SERENITY GULF SHORES where we can experience the Gulf from the pool, the beach and the balcony, as well as from inside the condo, and have easy access to the local establishments and activities.

What makes this property unique

SERENITY GULF SHORES is a center unit with three rooms facing the Gulf (i.e., the living room and the two master bedrooms). Being a center unit, the Gulf facing balcony is 50% wider and more private than end units in the complex. The living room and two master bedrooms each have floor to ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that lead out to the private Gulf-front balcony and provide a stunning unobstructed panoramic view of the Gulf of Mexico. The spacious balcony is very private allowing you to enjoy the ocean, not other buildings. The 7th floor is a perfect height!!
