Absolute Gulf-front condo with beach view and pool

Island Sunrise 464

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

Island Sunrise condos are located right on the beach, and your fourth-floor vacation rental has absolutely gorgeous views of Gulf waters. Cool tones, new furnishings, nautical-themed artwork, and a serene beach vibe characterize the interior. After a day on the sand or stretched out by the pool, recharge and refuel at one of Gulf Shores's many restaurants. Rent lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach, or take a quick stroll down the sand to try parasailing or volleyball.

Look no further, you've found the perfect place for a fun-filled Gulf Shores vacation. Tile floors are found throughout this charming condo, where neutral tones and nautical artwork create a relaxing beach motif.

The living room is ideal for pre-dinner drinks or for unwinding with a movie. A sleeper sofa and two chairs surround a 42” TV with cable, and a door leading to the breezy balcony allows sunlight in -- step out to take in gulf views and the sound of crashing waves. In the spacious kitchen, you’ll find bright white decor, ample counter space to work your culinary magic, and a double sink.

Both bedrooms offer en-suite bathrooms with tub/shower combinations for added convenience and privacy. Catch glimpses of the beach from the queen-size bed in the primary bedroom, then curl up to watch your favorite shows on the 42” TV. Kids will love the guest room, where there is a twin over twin bunk and queen to offer lots of space. This room also has a 32” TV and a memorable turtle painting.

Island Sunrise offers multiple shared amenities. Add a summery kick to your menu with the propane grill in the garden. Relax by the pool while the kids enjoy the swings. And step onto the sand and into the Gulf any time of day -- the beach is just outside your door.

Shore stay

The space was very nice overall, it was nice to have two bathrooms and bedrooms. The host was responsive when we asked if we could check in early. The beds were uncomfortable, but it seemed to only phase us parents as the kids didn’t seem to mind. The view was amazing, the pool was freezing, but the location was perfect to all shops, beach and restaurants. We can’t wait to come back!

Beachfront is great especially if u have kiddos makes nonstop bathroom trips or needing something u left behind. Bathroom sink is kind of high for my 4 yrs old so bring a step stool. Bring storage container for fruits. I have to wash my containers from leftovers to store them to bring down to the beach. But over all we enjoyed it. We will be back to this property for the 3rd year next year.

Great weekend getaway

Pool, beach, and condo were all great for our family. Love the proximity of the beach and pool. We walked to sea n suds twice for dinner. The beach is not as crowded in front as those around due to the condo building not being as big as those around. Sometimes condos will have a few spices in the cabinet or at least some salt and pepper This condo did not have anything including no filters for the coffee pot. You must bring every tiny thing with you. Other than that, the stay was lovely.

Fowler 2024 Vacay

This is our third stay at Island Sunrise. We much enjoy the closeness to the beach and the quietness of the area. High-rise locations are not our fav! It is always clean with all the amenities and space we need. My only other comment would be to have guidance during a hurricane. We asked, but got no response. Being new to that situation, we didn’t know how the location would be during a storm surge. So we booked another room inland and totally moved out for the night. It added to our stress and cost of our trip. I know weather is uncertain, but if we had known a 1-3 surge would not exceed the dunes, we would have stayed.

Nice place for a month.

This was a nice place to stay for a month, the only complaint i had was the the couch. It was not very comfortable and kind of awkward for a 6'3 person. There where no other issues with his unit, I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a month stay in the area.

Perfect for my family!

From the moment we walked in, we enjoyed every moment. The beachy and beautiful interior gave us the perfect atmosphere to relax, play games, and enjoy meals together. Eating breakfast out on the balcony was wonderful and the view out the window of the beachside bedroom was an amazing way to wake up each morning. The condo was stocked with everything we needed and then some. We couldn’t have asked for a better location to be able to access restaurants, shopping, or entertainment either by car or walking. The beach was just a few steps away, and it wasn’t crowded at all. My kids and I enjoyed and amazing vacation together and I will be booking again in the future. Thank you!

Unit 464- almost a winner!

This unit is updated and really cute. However, it needs a deep clean, there was lots of dust on headboards, blinds, top of refrigerator, etc. also, master shower has an issue with water pressure that needs to be looked into. Overall, it was a nice unit.

Door code problems

This condo is great is all aspects - located on the beach, 4th floor view of the beach, clean, comfortable, nice bathrooms, comfortable beds, etc.., except getting into the unit. The ten digit door code provided did not work and the management company was of little help to resolve the issue. The key (only one) from the lockbox was our only issue. We spent the 5 days playing “who has the key”. Not relaxing or convenient. Other than that the condo was lovely.

Great location

Overall the condo has cute decor and is in a perfect location to everything. The flooring in the condo looks very nice and I love that there is no carpet, but from the moment we walked in you could feel sand under your feet. I even swept several times but still couldn’t get it all up. Perhaps mats inside the doors might help collect some of the sand from outside. The master bedroom bed needs to be replaced as well as the bathroom shower liner. You can tell that it’s an older building so there is some wear showing but overall a nice stay.

The location was good, but cleaning wasn’t up to par.

View of the beach and location was great. This had everything we needed for our stay here. The only complaint we have is when we showed up at the 4pm check in time, they were still cleaning. They made a call and then said it was fine and they left. One of the beds had toenails that were cut and left on it. I am not sure if any of the bed sheets were cleaned or not? There was also a dirty sock under that same bed. As far as the building itself, the elevator is pretty slow and had a horrible smell to it. It smelt like wet urine the entire week. This isn’t the condo owners fault, but just something to note.

Fix the door

The location is perfect and the condo has a lot of extras (I.e. cookware, washer/dryer, and stuff for the beach); however, like previous posts have mentioned, the door was a huge inconvenience for us. On two different occasions, we were unable to open the door. The first time was remedied over the phone, but the second time, we waited for nearly two hours, at night, for someone to come fix the door. Additionally, we had a lot of sand in the condo upon our arrival and there were beer caps from the previous guests on the porch. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but please, fix the door! :)

Needs a few tweaks needed to be just perfect!

The condo was beautiful. It had nice floors, adorable decor, and up to date appliances, it was just missing a few important details needed for a traveler. PLEASE ADD: instructions on how to use the television (which of the 5 remotes to use & how to get to cable TV to watch live sports), more than one roll of toilet paper for the unit, please have paper towels and soap available in the kitchen, as well as having more than one trash bag available for a week stay. These are basics that most condos provide for a traveler. PLEASE ALSO ADD a dust pan and alarm clock for travelers. One last request would be to shorten the 10 digit passcode to get in and out of the condo during the day. It was very difficult for our children to memorize. I hope this was helpful insight. It really is a nice place.

AMAZING

This condo is PERFECT for families. The ocean front view you just can’t beat! We watched dolphins each morning from our couch!!! It’s right in the heart of the main part of town which is a bonus! You can walk to pretty much anything you want. There’s a banana boat and parasail place literally right beside of the condo near sea and suds. Fully stocked kitchen, they’ve got a kurig and also the stand coffee pot. Everything you need to cook with, a dishwasher. Very nicely updated. The only thing I could say is the beds could use a mattress topper or just better quality mattresses, I like a comfy bed. That’s about the only thing I missed from home was my comfortable bed LOL the condo was very clean! Also, the code to get in and out of the room was literally a PHONE NUMBER therefore I had to make it my screensaver on my phone because it’s about impossible to remember that long of a number! We had am amazing stay here for a week, wished we could’ve stayed longer! Highly recommend checking out the wharf we got lucky and caught **** ***** there before we left! Also check out extreme water sports, we rented jet skis and got to ride with dolphins! AMAZING!!! We will definitely be back! This stay it was myself and my best friend and our two 8 year old girls. Condo fits 4 comfortably.
