Great spot & place

We had a great time. The condo was exactly what we need, which is usually just a place to crash at the end of a busy beach day. Unit was clean and appropriately stocked. Check in and out was super easy and you can't beat the location.

Not bad at all

The condo wasn't bad at all, but the couch and chairs are dirty and need a good cleaning. We threw some clean sheets over them. On the morning of check-out at 9am our door comes open. I'm standing in the hallway to the door. This young woman pokes her head in and said that they were the cleaning service. Nevermind that check-out is 10, and there's a working doorbell, instead of just coming inside. I did recommend a safety latch to end that problem.It's worth it, it just needs a few better pieces of den furniture and a few touch ups. Oh, they have a very nice view of the ocean.;)

The condo was clean and respectable

The condo was great. Didn’t spend a lot of time there. Access to the beach was mere steps away. Appreciate the satellite TV and was able to watch March madness after the day at the beach.

Great stay

My husband and myself absolutely enjoyed the condo. Very clean and a beautiful view of the ocean. The only downside was when we got there the elevator didn’t work and we had to walk up to the eighth floor to get to our room. We didnt mind much because we always make the best out of any situation. It wasn’t down long and we was able to get our luggage up through the elevator vs walking it all up. We would definitely stay there again.

Great place

Thanks for a wonderful Place to stay! It has a stupendous view. The appliances are all new and work. The elevator worked every time! YAY ! I would add a couple more dish towels and cloths. We stayed in and had to wash them constantly. The only thing that was bothersome was the latch on the balcony sliding door.

Good little place

Condo was clean and big enough for 3 girls. Only downfall was no tents allowed on that portion of the beach which we didn’t know until we had already put it up. Very close to the ocean. Building is pet friendly so we saw multiple dogs but they are not allowed on beach. Building also has limited parking and at times there was not a single spot. Management company that owns it was super friendly and very easy to get ahold of. All in all very satisfied.

Pleasant until another guess yelled “White Powe” at my daughter & me!

The property was beautiful as was the room. The coffee maker was not working so we had to purchase one while there. I will NEVER return to Gulf Shores due to a hateful comment that was directed to me & my daughter! She is only 9 and should not endure hatred while on vacation. We will continue to vacation in Florida where the hatred is not as blatant.

Dirty and black mold

Web description very innacurate. There is no covered parking for this unit, there were black hairs on our towels and sheets upon arrival, black mold all over the baseboards, ceiling spackle peeling off in the shower stall, chipped toilet seat, screen to balcony ripped and could barely slide it open, no shared hot tub as described, mold in the steamer shower amongst other less-than-stellar issues. Would never book again.
