Annual family beach visit

We have stayed at the San Carlos 3 times, twice in this unit. It has a variety of beds that give us flexibility to arrange sleeping arrangements for each family as kids grow and situations change. The common area is spacious and the furnishings comfortable. The balcony is large and the view is great.

Perfect escape

After the last year we really needed a weekend away from everything and this Gulf Shores property was perfect. Home was clean, large, and had great views, and we loved being steps away from the ocean. Thanks for a great stay!!

Beautiful views

The condo was located within walking distance to great restaurants, shops and entertainment. It was just like the description (very spacious) and had everything you could ever need. The views were amazing, saw dolphins ever morning. We were able to rent jet skis and parasailing right infront of the condo . Heather made the process very simple and having no office to check in at was a plus. Would definitely stay at this condo again, Angie

Beautiful Condo

San Carlos is the perfect location for a beach getaway. We love everything about this facility except for the cost of the parking passes. The condo was clean and fully furnished. Plenty of room for our family of 10. Heather was a great host. We had a minor issue while there and Heather was very quick to give us a call to try and fix the problem. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Heather's place for your next stay.

Well equipped condo

The condo was well equipped and as pictured in listing. Just a note - parking was AWFUL though. Obviously this is not condo owner’s fault. But we were unprepared for parking across the busy Beach Blvd. There was an unloading zone in front of building, but it was busy most times we needed it. I’m general it was an extremely busy week with several special events and a large ball tournament going on, so maybe under normal circumstances parking would be better.

It fits 8 adults, 1 4 year old, and an infant!

We walked into the condo and were pleasantly surprised about how big the space is. We had 8 adults to find places to sleep! We used the fold out couch. Both couches are couch beds. The kitchen is well-stocked and the location is great. We didn't know it was the 50th anniversary of CrabFest so we got to enjoy it! It was right at the Hangout area, about 1/3 of a mile walk. We had a great spot on the beach but it was definitely more crowded than I anticipated. We did have an issue using the storage area near the pool My advice, DO NOT leave your stuff there! Take it to the condo. The pool area was nice but the water was a little too cold for me. The Gulf water was great but LOTS of jelly fish. The water was more clear than I have ever seen it. We had a great time and made great memories!

Amazing Condo, Great Location!

This condo is beautiful and exactly as it is pictured in the photos. My husband and I took a 4 night getaway in early September. It was just the two of us but we absolutely could have fit our whole family of six very comfortably if we wanted to. In fact, I have saved this as one of my favorites for the next time we go to Gulf Shores with the whole family. The master bed is so comfortable. We slept so good on it. The kitchen is nicely stocked. There is a Keurig (bonus points!) The living room furniture was comfy. The balcony is BIG and has an amazing beachfront view of the ocean. I’m VERY picky about my balcony choice when we go to the beach and this one is definitely one of the best we’ve had. There are beach toys for the kids. Honestly just can’t say enough nice things about this condo or the owner, Heather. She was so easy to work with and very nice! If you are on the fence about renting this one, get off of it and just do it already! It’s perfect.

The property was more than we expected. Tons of space! Great layout for a group of people!

We had a group of ten people. There were plenty beds, seating for meals, comfortable for everyone. We could be on the beach in 2 to 3 minutes! Walking distance to great restaurants and stores. Parking was simple with the overflow parking across the street. Everything worked and was what was described! We will definitely be back to this property on our next trip to Gulf Shores.

Enjoyed Our Beach Getaway

We had a great time visiting Gulf Shores this year. It was a spacious condo considering our large group. Having a bathroom for each room was convenient. The view off the balcony was amazing and the pool was a family favorite. The condo was close to everything and not a long drive to Orange Beach either. The sheets were so soft on one of the beds I even checked the tag to see where I could purchase them for my home! Elevators were fast! The kitchen had the needed essentials and overall was a great trip. If I had to give some critiques, I'd say the condo itself doesn't have a hot tub. While it wasn't the end of the world just wanted future guests to know. The pull-out sofas aren't the most comfortable when used but they'll do for a teenager or child. It could use a deep cleaning. The parking wasn't terrible they have a second lot across the street for extra parking. We did have to park there and walk across a few times. We did have a run in on the beach. We rented a set of chairs to use for the week, and some guests were not following the rules for putting their canopies behind the rental chairs. We had to relocate the spot we chose for the week. Umbrellas are allowed in front of the chairs which weren't a problem. The rude guests were quite rude to the rental company set up on the beach. I recommend getting a BeachBub umbrella it was great and definitely came in handy! Great trip!

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to Gulf Shores for years and love it! Always wanted to invest in a home away from home & a place for all of our family to come to the beach. We feel that Gulf Shores has so much to offer, but is still a 'quiet place' to vacation.

What makes this property unique

San Carlos has all the amenities needed for a beach trip. A pool, work-out room, and only steps from the beach. Our unit has also been tailored for comfort & our use. We are here at least 8-10 times a year and truly wanted a place to relax. From the beds to the recliners & balcony furniture we have taken great care to make this a home away from home.
