Great getaway!

Overall the place was a great place to escape! My husband and I got much relaxation in the cozy condo. Absolutely beautiful view and close to all the restaurants.. only thing we ran into a problem with is we could not find a dustpan in the condo so we just kept sweeping up sand trails and having to leave them in a corner. It’s needs a dustpan in there

Cozy/Clean/Beautiful

I had the most wonderful experience renting a condo in Gulf Shores for a week with a breathtaking beach view. From the moment I walked in, I was embraced by a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home.Our vacation at the Gulf Shores condo was off to a fantastic start thanks to the incredibly easy check-in process. It was seamless, and the condo management had thought of every detail to ensure a smooth arrival. Throughout our stay, the management team was attentive and responsive to any needs we had. Whether it was a minor request or a question about local recommendations, they were always just a phone call away. Their dedication to making our stay enjoyable truly stood out.Knowing that we had such reliable support on hand allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation to the fullest. It's evident that they take great pride in providing excellent service The condo was beautifully furnished and meticulously maintained, ensuring a comfortable stay throughout. Waking up to the sight of the sun rising over the pristine beach was simply magical. What made this stay even more enjoyable were the convenient amenities nearby. Everything from restaurants to shops and recreational activities was just a stone's throw away. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect getaway, and I'm already looking forward to returning to this slice of paradise. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a relaxing beachside escape with all the comforts of home!

Good...but not great.

In searching for a condo at Gulf Shores, we wanted a 1 bedroom. This was not a 1 bedroom. This was a large studio. The bedroom did not have a door. This was not explanied. The condo was clean...but not all the way clean. The vent in the bathroom was filthy. Dust hanging all over it. The kitchen was stocked sort of. Things were missing. A mixer with mixer blades. No rubber spatulas. This kitchen was just not fully stocked. 2 bath towels. 2 wash clothes. The furniture in the "bedrooom" was was too large for the space. Not enough room to get around the bed. The washer and dryer worked well. The pool was supposed to be open 7 am to 11pm. We were lucky if the pool was open by 9. The elevators were slow and nasty. The checkin lady was over worked and understaffed. She was wonderful but stressed. Great location but overall we felt we were mislead with the layout and paid for a 1 bwdroom and received a studio. The furinture in the living is okd and needs to be updated badly. We will not stay in this unit again.

The condo smelled terrible when we arrived and it wasn’t the cleanest. The patio door was left open so the air conditioner wasn’t on when we got there either. It took a while to cool off. There’s no door to the bedroom which I didn’t realize. Wasn’t terrible but wouldn’t stay here again

While excellent overall, guests should be prepared for a high sitting bed( we had to use a footstool to climb into) also I could not figure out how to have live tv on in living room, but we could with bedroom tv. But other than those 2 things this is a perfect condo for vacation!

Only criticism

We didn't rest as much as we wanted to because it seemed the unit thermostat would not go below 70 at night. It seemed to go below 70 during the day but it was too warm sleeping almost like a limiting thermostat has been installed or Landlord Thermostat, as they're called also. For us, 70 is not cool enough and we were too warm. For this reason we would not rent the unit again most likely even tho it was a nice condo.

Great location and beaches

This condo was very clean and updated. The bed was dreamy. Probably the best mattress I’ve ever slept on. I’m kicking myself for not taking a picture of the label so I can get one for my home. There were really only 3 things I wish I would have paid attention too. 1. The entrance door puts you immediately in the bedroom as there wasnt a door to the bedroom. 2. The bedroom window faces the open hall and a larger curtain would have been more private. 3. The pool was being remodeled so it wasn’t open. Not a huge deal just didn’t enjoy the view. I’m sure it will be looking amazing soon. You definitely cannot beat the location. Walking distance to so much!
