The location is great. Right on the beach, view of the beach. Room was pretty clean, but showed a lot of wear and tear, particularly in the bathroom. Storage for things slightly cramped. The side tables and cabinets in the bedroom are small. Both of the closets have a lot of things in them, but you can hang things like coats or slacks/shirts on the nice hangers provided. Parking was a separate fee. The building was secure, there were always staff around the buildings.Although we did not take advantage of the pool area, it looked nice and many families took advantage of that as the surf was a bit rough on many days. The unit is close to beach style shopping and some good restaurants, so finding a meal isn't hard.The kitchen has nice appliances, a full refrigerator, ice maker and oven. It has a dishwasher, however we didn't bring dishwasher detergent. The facility provided dishsoap for the sink. For our few days that was adequate. The stacked washer and dryer are fine for small loads or drying towels. The bath towels are very good. You should bring beach towels for the pools or beach.This unit is on the first level. There are elevators to lift you from the ground level. It is next to the fitness area and for the most part it was quiet over there.Overall, it's an OK place right on the beach.

Really noisy

Every shower the upstairs unit takes sounds like a waterfall in the bedroom. If you’re a light sleeper, it’s miserable. The fitness center is next door. Doors, garbage trucks, elevators: you hear it all!

No rest

I liked everything about this property, however my room was next to the exercise room. I was awoken every morning by the patrons who were working out. Obviously no insulation in the walls, I could hear every time theweights went up and back down making a loud noise in my room. I actually left the property a day early so that I could guarantee some rest… I would recommend this property as long as you don’t get the room next to the gym. I would also like to get some money back or a travel voucher for having to leave early. Vacation is rest and relaxation! Not able to get the rest part accomplished.

Baby moon

My fiance and I stayed here for our last trip before our baby and it was everything we could have wanted. It was clean, a few steps from the pool & beach. The staff was very nice. The only complaint was loud construction above us that started around 8:30 in the morning on Thursday and Friday and lasted until about 12. Other than that, everything was awesome.

Gulf Shores

The property is very well used and needs updates. The pictures made it look awesome but in reality the floor was coming up in the bathroom and hallway which was dangerous for bare feet. The rug in the living room was filthy and had a bad odor. The barstools at the counter are falling apart. There is no clothing storage in the bedroom. On a good note the gulf view and proximity to restaurants was nice.

Next to gym 24/7 - read all comments.

We stayed 4 nights on 30-Aug and only had one night without weights banging in the 24/7 next door 'gym' preventing any rest. We couldn't believe how loud it was from 1:45am-3:30am the 2nd night followed by 5am-7am of the stepper machine banging the wall with every revolution the following morning. Luckily, the 3rd and 4th nights banging noises stopped ~11pm & 2am. In 30+ years of travel I have never complained in a survey following the trip but this was unreal. I guess letting the other building office where we got our parking pass know did nothing. I should have read all of the comments but sadly I didn't. I did contact Beach Getaways Vacation rentals by phone after they solicited our feedback. They offered us 10% off a future visit up to $100. lol - no thanks!

I liked the location and the property. I would prefer the property manager inform me when maintenance people are coming while I’m still sleeping to change an air filter. Was very upset about having to let someone in early in the morning.

Unit 175

This condo and property are very nice. Great beach access, felt totally safe walking to our cars at night. Had a security guard on duty at night which was a plus. We had no noise issues but we also brought our own fan. Only complaint we have it’s after the first night then bed is very uncomfortable. It could use a topper and the headboard secured. Overall this unit and property is perfect for a momcation or super small family. You don’t have much room to walk around in the bedroom.
