Everything you Need with a Million Dollar View

We never tired of the fabulous view—from the 11th floor right on the Gulf. Incredibly spacious, nice kitchen, a truly beautiful beach. We stayed for about a month and were sad to leave. Easy to walk to the wonderful trails at Gulf State Park.

Wonderful Condo

This condo was wonderful with plenty of space for everyone, awesome views and great location. The owner/manager was fantastic about contacting us right after we rented the condo to answer and early questions we may have and then again about a week before our stay. Everything was as promised, no disappointments. I would definitely recommend this condo for anyone looking for a relaxed stay on the beach.

Hope to Return!

Our family really enjoyed this unit. After renting condos in Gulf Shores for more than 30 years, we rate this one in the top 3! The beds were very comfy, amenities were more than sufficient, and the shower pressure was great. Although we didn't use the pool or exercise room, the walkway to the beach was followed every day. The owner, Laura, was extremely accommodating. We hope to return next year!

Perfect Vacation

This condo was perfect for our needs as a family that included 2 children and 6 adults, including my 90 year old mother. Everyone had their own space and we felt very well provided for. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals. We enjoyed the beach and the pool everyday. We were also close to grocery stores, shopping, entertainment, etc. Thanks for sharing your wonderful condo!

The condo was just as listed! Very comfortable home with everything we needed. Communication with the homeowner was great… they are very friendly, helpful people. The boardwalk to the beach was great and a short walk! The condo was very clean, beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. I would recommend this home for a relaxing Gulf Shores vacation!

July 4th Fun!

What an amazing trip! My family loved Gulf Shores & our condo was beautiful. Laura was very easy to work with & responded so quickly when we had a small issue with the kitchen sink. Within the hour a maintenance guy showed up & made the repairs. Will definitely stay here again!

Best View

The pictures of the view from the condo don’t do it justice. From the couch you can see the beach for a very long way and down the beach road and Gulf Shores Parkway (all the way to Waterville). The owners were absolutely wonderful. There was anything you could need in the kitchen and then some. Unlike the other high rises we’ve stayed in, we never had to wait for elevators! The condo was furnished well. It is my favorite place we’ve stayed in GS and we will definitely be back.

Excellent Vacation

We loved this property. It is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully equiped. It was like being in someone's home rather than a rental. The mattresses were good which we all appreciated. The location is very close to all the fun things to do in Gulf Shores. Beautiful views, wonderful beaches and super condo!

Family Vacation

The condo was great for our 10 person family vacation! Laura was excellent to work with. The elevator situation was frustrating at times. There were 2 however at times, it took a long time to get an elevator. At one point, there were lines of people waiting for elevators. On check in day, there were no utility carts available to haul our stuff and we waited in line over 15 minutes for an available elevator.
