Breathtaking!

This is by far the best condo I rented to date down in Gulf Shores! The minute you walk in all the 12th floor and you see that wall of windows, is everything you could ask for. Super clean, very friendly people, Super easy to communicate with. Patio had all the furniture you need for a big family to enjoy. It was decorated so cute and everything was so comfortable. Definitely 100% staying here again!!

We loved this place

This corner condo was made to be enjoyed! There was plenty of room for 5 adults. I woke up the first morning to find my entire family on the balcony laughing and enjoying the fantastic beach view. Plus we got to see the sunset from the second balcony every day. It is close to the beach, restaurants and liquor stores. If I had the money this is the place I would want to own. It was a Perfectly Wonderful Stay. Highly Recommend.

Awesome property!

We had a great time! Beautiful view! The condo is specious and very well kept. The kitchen had everything you need. The kitchen has a Blender and crockpot ( they told me there wasn’t a crockpot or blender). The only two downfalls were no laundry detergent ( bring your own) and the elevator was slow.. we will definitely be back!

Island Tower Vacation

We have stayed at Island Tower multiple times over the years. We usually stay in the same condo, but it was unavailable for this trip. We ended up booking a corner condo instead of the middle. I prefer the middle as it seems to have more room and easier to access the balcony. We stayed in 1203 this year and the condo was pretty nice. The decor was nice and clean, the furniture and appliances could use a good upgrade or cleaning. The building itself has deteriorated somewhat but I see they are continuing with repairs in the next few months. No issues with the elevators, access to luggage carts, noise, or access to the beach. We did not use the pools this time. I do recommend vending machines be brought back.

Nice but could stand a few changes

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was great, adequate amount of space for 4 adults and 3 kids. Only some minor issues. The couch is completely destroyed which meant that in the evenings when we wanted to relax, we had to sit at the dining table which after being exhausted by 3 small kids was just not good enough. Also, none of the locks worked on the bedroom doors which made privacy with kids hard and the lock on the main balcony door was very tricky which meant my toddler was able to get out there. As a parent of small kids, I didn’t not like the fact that there was no plastic dishes at all. I did not like having to go to a separate location to pick up a code-I could see this being necessary when keys were involved but seems like an unnecessary step in the digital age.

Beautiful view

The condo was great and spacious! My family and I loved the views. The only disappointment we really had with the condo itself was, the construction going on the whole week we were there and it just happened to be on our side of the condo/unit. The two bedrooms that faced the street is right where they were doing construction on the condo walls and it was right on our bedroom wall the whole week. The other issues we had while construction was going on, we couldn’t use our beach access because they had it closed off due to construction. Fire alarms went off at least 3 or 4 times while there and we had to evacuate from the 12th floor. From what regulars were saying in the lobby is it happens all the time. But overall the condo itself and view was great!
