My husband, myself and 3 children visited Gulf Shores for the first time Aug 14-16. It was only a weekend vacation and we really enjoyed our stay. The condo was very accomodating. Had everything we couldve needed, had a beautiful view from the balcony. I only have 2 complaints...1, the wait for the elevator was kinda long. And 2, I wish check out times were a little different. For 1 thing it's hard to vacate 17 floors at once at 10 am..making the wait about 30 minutes to be able to catch an elevator down, that could fit 5 ppl and a cart, but my main reason is because when you pay for 2 nights and plan a weekend getaway, if you cant check in until 4pm and have to check out at 10am, you really only have 1 full day to enjoy your stay. In my opinion checking in at 12 and out at 10am would be more reasonable. I understand they have to be cleaned between visitors..overall, we would book this rental again, it was nice :)
watch out for those jellyfish!
