We stayed for a week and had an amazing experience. The room was spotless and felt welcoming from the moment we walked in. There were even little frogs we found around the place! Waking up to the beach view every morning was unforgettable, peaceful, bright and absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be coming back again!

Wonderful stay at perfect Gulf Shores condo for family trip

Stayed for 3 nights with my daughters. The condo was exactly as described, comfortable, clean, great view, and all that we needed. The pool was nice and accessible, beach access couldn’t be easier, and located near lots of restaurants and shops. We’ll definitely consider coming back.

Excellent Location, Affordable Rate, Comfortable Condo

We stayed in Castaways 8B from 09.11.2024 through 09.16.2024. Things of note: the coffee maker is a drip coffee maker, there is a great blow dryer in the master bathroom, the water pressure was excellent, internet worked fine. The appliances and ice maker worked great. 8B was clean and quiet with plenty of pots, pans, dishes, and clean kitchen and bathroom linens. There were menus and money saving coupons in the kitchen—we saved money at restaurants and attractions. Castaways was clean and safe and the property was well-maintained. The beach was clean and the water was clear. There is a toy box on the property near the pool for toys—take one/leave one. I prefer the smaller, boutique feel of Castaways vs the mega condominium complexes. I would definitely recommend Castaways 8B and our host Ty responded quickly to my questions. It was 10/10 vacation, only steps to the beach and nearby to so much fun, food, and shopping.

We were happy with the condo and especially happy with its location to the beach and the restaurants. Everything was as shown on the website. Patio chairs needed to be replaced as well as the pillows. Other than that we would stay there again.
