Since this is a low-density complex, there are no crowds, and no long walks so you'll be on our large beach within minutes!

Being just 1/4 mile from the main Gulf Shores intersection we are within walking distance of many souvenir stores and restaurants including a favorite spot, The Hangout, which has live music, outside dining, shopping, games and a variety of entertainment for the whole family. We're just a short drive away from the zoo, water and amusement parks, OWA theme & water park, movie theaters, golf courses, deep sea fishing plus many shopping options including an outlet mall with over 100 stores.

With the incredible beach/ocean front view and the comfy sofa, table and chairs, our balcony is sure to be a favorite spot during your vacation. You will enjoy relaxing while listening to the surf. Be sure to look for the dolphins playing in the ocean during the morning hours. This third floor balcony is perfect for observing family and friends in the pool area.

Wonderful stay and great location
This is my second stay at this condo and I will definitely be back for the summer! I spent the weekend at this wonderful condo directly on the beach, and was able to walk to nearby restaurants and cute souvenir shops. I personally loved the Pink Pony Pub and The Hangout. There were also nice brunch places and coffee shops in walking distance. The condo itself is very clean and has many amenities. There are plenty of blankets and pillows, and the bedding is very comfortable. They provided more than enough kitchen supplies to cook with, and even had many seasonings to choose from. I enjoyed making a cup of coffee and sitting on the balcony with a great view in the morning. Toni was also very easy to communicate with. I am looking forward to returning to this beautiful condo.

Needs Updating and Told About Construction
The view from the condo was lovely. We enjoyed seeing pods of dolphins and gorgeous sunsets.However, the condo needs updating in the living room and kitchen. The sleeper sofa and chair in the living room were very uncomfortable, worn, and old. The kitchen is extremely small and narrow with peeling laminate countertops. There was a generous supply of utensils, appliances and cookware.The second bathroom had carpet, rather than tile by the sink. Not sure why same flooring for bath /toilet weren't used.The pool was advertised to be heated. The pool heater was not turned on until 2 days before we left in our 28 day stay. Very disappointing!When I contacted the owner about recliner, dogs in condo above us, and the construction/exterior painting, she was quick to respond. It would have been beneficial to know before we booked, that the building was under construction. We were subjected to daily noise of a hammer drill that reverberated throughout the entire building.

The room was comfortable and homie for a group of 6! The pool was fun for the family. But when we got there to check in, it was late in the evening and the downstairs was dark like a dungeon but once we got the the room it was wonderful!

We stayed 4 nights. Location is great. Close to everything. Condo had everything you could need. Condo needs updating, furniture is old and not comfortable to relax on. Beds were not comfortable. Would be better if the master bedroom had a king size bed rather than 2 full/queen beds.

Perfectly located to all things
This was a cutely decorated, well located 2 bed 2 bath condominium. Wonderful proximity to the beach as well as a heated pool for when the ocean was rough or conditions prohibited going in. Equipped kitchen for eating any or all meals there with enough seating indoor or balcony (4pl). Also close walking distance to loads of restaurants and shops. Toni was gracious and good at getting back to all messages!

Family Spring Break Stay
We visited Gulf Shores with our 2 boys (7 and 10) and this was just perfect for us! I really appreciated how well stocked the condo was with stuff in the kitchen and games to play and much more. The location was great to walk to dinner, ice cream, and of course the beach! It was also wonderful to have a place with separate sleeping areas and bathrooms for us and the kids. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Time
This property is perfectly located. Ocean view is amazing plenty of seating on balcony. Lots and lots of appliance in kitchen. Has regular coffee pot and k cup coffee maker. The bathrooms are beautiful. The only negative comment I could say is the shelf in the freezer needs replaced and no ceiling fan in living room. A/C works great. I would highly recommend this place. One more feature for those who have children this condo has a glass screen door on the front door,the balcony can be closed in with shutters and has a ceiling fan on balcony. The property owner was nice and informative that is truly appreciated

Excellent Location
This property was perfect for our short Fall Break Getaway. Everything in the listing is accurate. We had everything we needed and then some. We allowed our sons to bring a friend and we had plenty of space for all of us. The location allowed us to walk everywhere we wanted to eat with the exception of our trip to Cobalts in Orange Beach. Don’t make a trip down here without eating there! My favorite space in the condo was the balcony!! From here you have beautiful sunrises, morning dolphin watching and nighttime naps in the breeze while listening to the waves. We will definitely be back. I will agree with everyone else about the parking lot. It’s tight but we were in a Yukon with a luggage rack on the back and we made it work! We would love to stay here again next year!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi! My sister & I are truly blessed to now own the condo where we have vacationed many times. Our family has lots of wonderful memories from our time here and we know that you will love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Location! Location! Location! It would be hard to find one better than our condo. There are many times we have vacationed here and left our car parked our entire visit. We are in close proximity to many restaurants, souvenir shops and stores. Also you will love our private balcony located directly on the beach overlooking the swimming pool and Gulf of Mexico. Our view is amazing!

What makes this property unique

Location that's not a high rise which means no crowds here! We have so much beach front property with a building of only 36 units.
