Make sure to over communicate with owner
I cannot speak to the condition or amenities of this actual condo because the owner somehow double booked for the week we arrived. I could go on and on about the stress and tears and upheaval this caused for our group (my husband and I, my two young children and my elderly in-laws), but I will refrain from the details. Just thought it would be worth it to let people know this could happen (which this has never happened to us before and we’ve used VRBO many times) and if you book this condo, I would double and triple check with the owner to make sure it doesn’t happen to you.

Beautiful Condo In Great Location
Condo was absolutely stunning, with the greatest view of the beach. The owner was very responsive to all of our needs, and helpful about the local area. I highly recommend this condo as it was the nicest for which we have stayed inGulf Shores. Also, a big plus is the location as its just far away enough from the crazy busy area of Gulf Shores, but close enough that its easily assessable. The beach near the condo is a lot less busy than other beaches in the area and is very beautyful.

We would definitely be back. We had a few things that wasn’t up to standards but we’re fixed when addressed. We did wish the other elevator was working because it made it hard with three little ones, waiting on just one elevator. The condo was very nice and had a great view.

Do not rent from this owner
I do not recommend this owner. Communication is slow, very unsympathetic and rude. Online listing not accurate. Pool is not operational and owner is aware but doesn’t communicate this to you. Sauna, hot tub and ice machine also not working. Actually told me he was not sorry this was happening. Place is nice but I would find a different room.

Not as advertised ongoing construction
The condo location was great and interior was beautiful but I was not aware of the ongoing renovation inside and outside the condominium. My main reason for picking this rental was for the pool, I was very disappointed when I looked over the balcony to see it was drained and being redone. We called the host and he explained that the renovations were because of the hurricane in September, At this point we tried to make the best out of our trip. What ruined the experience was being interrupted twice early in the morning when painters needed to get in to paint the balcony. The second time it happened a worker barged into the condo unannounced, having a young daughter and infant I was shocked and we told the man to get out. I called the host and told him about the situation and he said he would get back with us, but we have not heard back.
This was our first trip since the pandemic started, overall it was not a great experience. If I had been made aware that the pool and condo were still being worked on we would not have rented this property. It’s a shame though from the listing photos I was sure it was the perfect getaway.

Great Experience
The place was beautiful and very clean. The property and appliances seemed really new and everything in the apartment functioned like it was supposed to. There was also beach items on the balcony that could be borrowed at the beach (e.g.: boogie board, cooler). If you do stay here, be sure to bring your own toilet paper and trash bags, as there were none to be found in the apartment once the ones that were in the container or on the spool was used up. We ended up having to use laundry bags for the trash.

Not what I expected
First of all, this is an absolutely beautiful condo. However, I did not expect to walk into the condo to find the considerable balcony furniture, 3 outdoor rugs and storage cabinet inside in the dining and living rooms. This made it very cramped and not the roominess of the photos. I did receive a message from the owner prior to our arrival that they were doing some work on the exterior but that was all. The next day I saw scaffolding outside with men working . The following day, men were actually working on the balcony. There are no window coverings so we had no privacy whatsoever. It also kept us from enjoying use of the balcony and the view. It was very disappointing given what I expected from the photos. When you rent the condo, it should look like what you were promised. I think we should have been told exactly what to expect and given the option to cancel.

Really enjoyed out time in Sanibel 1603. The condo was well equipped with upgraded appliances and a great master bath. The view, of course, was magnificent! The property is in a quiet location - far enough away from other high rises - but still convenient to access shops, etc.
