Spring Break
Property was a perfect location for all of our favorite places in Gulf Shores. We like to park our car and walk all week, and you can't be at how central this building was. The condo itself is exactly as described (and noted in all the great reviews!). It was very clean, the building's common areas were as well. Everything we needed was provided in th condo and the communication with the owner was super fast and easy. Check in was a breeze. Overall, one of our favorite places we have stayed in Gulf Shores - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

A great condo
This condo is really spacious for a one bedroom unit, and the half bath is an added plus. The king bed in the bedroom was really comfortable and the whole condo was spotless. The view from the balcony is beautiful. It is close to many great restaurants. The check-in and check-out instructions from the owner were very clear. We would definitely stay here again.

Great experience.
This was our first visit to Gulf Shores and we had a great time!This condo was ideal for us. It’s quite, it’s right on a beautiful clean white sand beach, it’s within walking distance to a number of restaurants and shopping, and it has a beautiful view of the gulf right from the balcony where I watched the sunrise on most mornings. Checking in and out was very easy and straightforward. We were also very happy with the location and size of the building itself. We made a number of “day trips“ and found it was very easy to get around. Plus it’s close to Gulf State Park, grocery stores, and only about 20 minutes to the ferry. Theresa is an excellent host. If we ever had a question her response was immediate. We would highly recommend Theresa and this condo for your stay in Gulf Shores.

Perfect Location!
First of all, Theresa was a wonderful host. When our trip started out rocky due to an accident, she was so prompt with responding to my message about potentially getting into the condo a few hours early. The condo is not huge, but offered the perfect amount of space for our family of five (which includes three teenagers). Tropical Isles offered a nice, small size where we didn’t have to wait long on the elevator or spend a ton of time going between the pool/beach/room. Having a bathroom within the pool area was a major plus! The walkway to the beach was nice and we just loved having a beautiful view of the Gulf and pool right from our balcony. Tropical Isles was just a short two block walk away from The Hangout and all of the shops and restaurants. This was our second trip to Gulf Shores and this will be the condo we will come back to again and again! Thanks so much, Theresa!

60th Birthday/Anniversary Celebration
Perfect Location! It was our first time to Gulf Shores and it was wonderful. Everything was in walking distance and the beach was absolutely gorgeous. The white sand beaches and the turquoise waters were just magical. We loved walking on the beach and in the water. Having coffee on the balcony and watching the sunrise was spectacular. Theresa was a delightful host and she makes herself available for any questions you may have. We totally recommend this property and would definitely stay here again in the future. ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Theresa van den Bulk

Host profile image
We take great pleasure in vacationing as a family, and we understand the significance of this experience for you as well. Therefore, we are offering condos for rent, allowing you and your family to create lasting memories in this beautiful location, which my family and I have visited for many years. Delight in the family-friendly entertainment, distinctive shopping opportunities, exquisite dining, and particularly the pristine white sand beaches and emerald waters.

Why they chose this property

The 1st time we came to Gulf Shores we just could not believe the WHITE sand and EMERALD GREEN WATER! THIS location LOCATION LOCATION IS THE BEST! You can walk to everything you need. After driving and driving with non stop questions. Mom are we there yet? We get out of the car and don't have to get back in the car to eat or shop. Having perfect climate and family atmosphere attracted us to come back and get a place right on the beach. Our kids just love being able to go on the beach without having to cross any roads or walkways. We can watch them from the balcony. As you see this is perfect set-up!

What makes this property unique

You're right on the beach not across the road. Directly beach front condo. You want to get a drink, freshen up, go shopping and/or dining all in walking distance. This is such a plus if you had a long drive and don't want to get back in the car! Please read the reviews the pictures don't do Justus to this condo.
