Nice Stay

Good location, kind of secluded from the heavy traffic of Gulf Shores. The people that stayed before use definitely did not read the rules and smoked in the room, so the room had a heavy smell to it but other than that I have no complaints.

Great vacation

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Plantation. Food at Sassy Bass was fantastic, The beach was beautiful we had numerous pools on site to choose from. Only complaint we had was a group of rowdy children that weren’t disciplined by their parents and not following the pool rules. More security needed for the pool area, Thankfully we had many to choose from. If staying you will be paying for laundry services in a common area. Overall great trip.

Family Vacation on the Beach

We had an amazing stay in unit 1240. There were three adults, and four kids (2 preteens). There was plenty of room for all us. It can easily sleep 8. The condo was clean and well equipped with what we needed. Just take you a large skillet if needed. We improvised with what we had. We were steps away from the boardwalk to the beach and one of the many pools was right outside our balcony. We will definitely put this location on our list to revisit.
