Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A low-density condo complex in the heart of all the fun of the Gulf Shores main public beach area entertainment district, Island Shores offers fantastic access to major beach and surf shops; restaurants like The Hangout, Pink Pony Pub and Sea-n-Suds; and fun attractions like Waterville USA, Gulf State Park, and The Track Family Recreation Center.

While the condo's location gives you the flexibility to enjoy all there is to do on the Gulf Coast, you'll want to take time to relax at your condo.

Enjoy your own private balcony as you gaze at the surf and sand below. Be sure to watch for dolphins frolicking in the Gulf. Or, let the kids blow off some steam at the outdoor pool as you lounge around and read that book you've been trying to get to for the past several months.

Want to build the coolest sandcastle around? Call our friends at Sandcastle University for a sandcastle-building lesson. They'll come to beachfront at Island Shores and bring all the tools and buckets you'll need. All you have to do is supply the creativity and the hands to construct your masterpiece!

At Island Shores, you'll enjoy the solitude of your two- or three-bedroom condo, complete with private balcony, without sacrificing all the fun of being in the middle of the excitement of delicious restaurants, amusing attractions and beach shopping.

Unacceptable

Disgusting! Rust in freezer, door hinges and on clothes bars. Almost all shelves on door were gone. Table & chair legs were terribly scuffed! Broken dresser drawer and shelf. A stained towel. Dishwasher door is broken. Hardly any cookware with covers that don’t fit! Called VACASA local rep and got NO reply. We went to their office and nobody was there who could help. The lady from housekeeping said she’s contact a rep & that he’s call. He did not!! YOU need to check places out!! We deserve a partial refund!!

Fall Break

Island Shores 252 was very clean on arrival. The scene from the balcony was beautiful. Everything worked as it should. The only small problem we had was figuring out the tv remote in the bedroom, but once we figured it out, my husband was a happy man!

Great little place

This was perfect for us. It’s right on the beach and the right size for our family of 6. The only thing we had an issue with was the master bedroom needed better blinds and some curtains for better privacy. Other than that minor thing: perfect!!!

Family Vacation

It was very accurate as to the description. It was very clean. The area was very quiet and clean. The beach was right outside the property which my kids loved.

Great location/Just a place to stay

We wanted a place on the beach. Basically, that’s all we got. The condo doesn’t have anything “extra”. We had one towel for each guest, one garbage bag in the kitchen, one travel size bar of soap, travel size shampoo and conditioner, one pan, one roll of paper towels… you get the idea. No coffee, no coffee filters, no salt, no pepper, no extras. You’ll need to go to the store if you want all that. You’re getting a great view and friendly “on point” security. We saw them often. A/C works great and the patio is a great feature. Great location of restaurants, stores, and the beach. Dishes were still in the washer from the last guest. Floors weren’t very well swept, as we found hair all over. Furniture and decor is very out dated. Mattresses were comfy. Overall you’re paying for the location. Hotels give you more amenities. But we liked a less populated area.

Second year in this unit, same awful time

The garbage disposal went out, it kept gurgling up old food. Held for 40 minutes to speak with someone who barely knew English. We couldn’t use the kitchen the last day and a half we were there

Clean but not comfortable

Great view..mostly clean unit but the furniture needs to be updated as the beds were not comfy the living room chairs were useless and the couch had a sinkhole...can't watch TV in a good chair and the teeny tiny TV was a joke.Would not reccomend staying here if you want comfort.

Convenient

Within walking distance to The Hamgout, beach & shopping. Nice view of beach from balcony. Condos are a little older but provide the basics. 2nd bedroom was quite bright and can be loud.

Great location

We were directly on the beach and could walk to restaurants and shops. The condo needs some work though. Little things like outlets need replaced. I would plug in my hair dryer and it would fall out of the plug in the wall. More outlets are needed, many items need charged now a days. I suggest you bring a multiple outlet plugin. There are no kitchen knives to cut large items. We only had 4 spoons. We are a cooking family. We were only given one pillow per person so bring extra pillows and blankets. There was no TV in one of the bedrooms. We bought chair cushions to put on the plastic chairs on the balcony. They were brutal on our backs while we read. It’s a good condo it’s just badly in need of personal touches.
