The condo was spacious and comfortable. The view was exceptional and we would recommend this to anyone. All the dishware was there and the freezer ice machine kept up with 2 of us. Plenty of storage space for food and clothes. The beach is unforgettable. Nothing like the Gulf Shores! The pool looked clean but we did not use it. Plenty of seating pool side. We went in the second week of March and while weather can be "iffy" this time of the year, we lucked out with exceptional temperatures. We were thankful for the elevators and the grocery carts they had on site to carry small items up and down. The parking was easy and plentiful during our stay in March. We are already thinking about going back!

Great place to stay!

Exceptionally clean, very well appointed, great parking and very easy to enter and exit from the street. Is next door to public beach, near great restaurants and has a great beach view from room and balcony. One of the nicest condos I’ve rented in Gulf Shores, if not the nicest for price of rental. I will book again. Traffic is not near as congested as on East end of Beach Highway. Easy access to beach

Relaxing and beautiful

We were looking forward to a quiet break and relaxation and that is what we found at your condo. Quiet, peaceful and a beautiful view of the gulf. The sound of the waves crashing on shore was great. Restaurants within walking distance and a different one each night. Long walks along the beach each morning and sitting on the beach each night watching the sun set. It was very nice for us. Thanks

Great place to stay

This unit was great. It had a great view from the balcony. The beds were so comfortable. The kitchen had about everything needed from silverware, pots and pans, dishes, blender, crockpot. The check in/out process was super easy. If we come back to gulf shores I would totally stay here again.
