Great location and view

Very open and comfortable property. Many properties are very narrow to make the best use of space but this condo has a great entry and is not nearly as narrow as some others. Felt spacious. Condo looked just like the pictures. Very quiet. We enjoy walking and this was a very easy walking to various restaurants. Could use some towel hooks in bathrooms and empty cabinets for groceries. We would definitely return again.

Gulf Shores Getaway

The condo was much nicer than expected. Beds were comfortable, water was hot, and check out requests were minimal which was nice. The ice in the fridge did taste kinda funny, but with enough rum it didn't matter LOL. The kitchen was very well stocked with supplies. You can see the beach from the balcony and enjoy the sea breeze, but because you're on the first floor you can't see all the sand due to the dunes (which we didn't care about). We did have an 18 month old with us and the condo isn't kid proof, but we made it work. The master bedroom was very roomy, the other rooms were not very roomy but not so tight that you cant move around. We were able to fit a pack n play in the closet in one of the "guest" rooms but that was the only place it would fit. We were mostly worried about kiddo breaking the lamps or spilling on the white couch.The kiddo slept in the pack n play since the "guest" rooms were queen size beds. Every bedroom had a tv and the living room had a nice size tv as well. Some streaming services were available on the tv, but we couldn't get spotify which was a bummer because noone brought a speaker and there was no sound bar. Another pro is there is a liquor store within a short walk from the condos. This place is really nicely located to Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Foley, and the pier. The ONLY slight negatives to this place are as follows: toilet paper is provided, but it is 1 ply and for 6 people for 5 days there wasn't enough (thank god one of our people alw

Beautiful condo on the beachfront!

We loved this condo! The location was on the fist floor, right near the pool with easy access to the beach, very short walk. We liked that this is a small, low density condominium. The pool was very clean and we had it to ourselves most of the week. The unit was beautiful inside with plenty of space and very clean. We were pleasantly surprised to find a desk in the master bedroom and stainless steel cookware instead of all non-stick pans! A couple of things: I could not find a broom anywhere in the unit to use with the dust pan and the light in the master bedroom shower is burnt out. Otherwise everything was great! We would love to rent this unit again on our next trip!!

Awesome location

The condo was great! Super close to the beach, being on floor 1 it was easy to walk the stairs with all of the kids and our things. The room was decorated beautifully, beds are comfy. We had plenty of space for my family of 7 to spread out.

Needs

Sliding glass doors need heavier drapes to keep light out . Both bathrooms electric outlets didn’t work. Both bathrooms are in need of more towel bars / robe hooks. When you have 7 people staying in the unit there’s nowhere to tanks towels, bathing suits etc. light in master shower not working. It’s all little things but would help for future stays. Not to mention the elevator. My girlfriend fell going down the stairs this am while we were hanging to carry everything down in order to load our vehicles. Elevator never worked right all all week. There have been some changes at Buena vista is the last cpl of yrs. Not all for the good. Been staying there for 7 out of the last 10 yrs. People in the pool till 11pm etc etc. nobody on site to control etc etc

Great property and can’t beat 1st floor location for easily getting to the beach. Having the carts in the parking area to haul your stuff to room was a bonus for sure!! Only cons were very early morning construction noise and some blinds on windows would be nice. Overall a clean and nicely decorated comfy place to stay!!

Perfect Beach Vacation

Everything about this property was amazing! Not only were we on the 1st floor but the beach was so close too! Just footsteps away! The condo was very clean with access to everything you’d need to prep breakfast lunch and dinner. We were so pleased with how nice the condo was and the new modern decor. The only complaint were the guest room beds- they are not very comfy but the master bed was great as well as the pull out! We loved this condo and will be booking again!
