The perfect location to stay at Gulf Shores!

My husband and I and our 3 kids stayed 5 nights here. We loved the location of the property because it was located just before more of the busy area of Gulf Shores, but only a couple minute drive to all the popular restaurants and activities. We loved being next to the fishing pier too. Located on the 7th floor gave us the most perfect, gorgeous view from our balcony!

Wunderbar

This is our 2nd visit. Helga and Franz gave us a warm welcome and showed us the modern kitchen complete with dishwasher that has just been fitted. It is a quiet location and everything is spotlessly clean and tidy. This is a great location if you want to visit the mountains summer or winter.

Sommer, Sonne, Berge - Erholung!

Wir drei haben zum ersten Mal in der Region Allgäu Urlaub gemacht - und gleich wieder für nächstes Jahr vorgemerkt. Die Unterkunft bietet alles was man für zwei Wochen braucht. Aber Achtung für Leute, die größer als 1,90 Meter sind. Niedriger Deckenbalken! Einziges Manko: Das Internet funktionierte bei uns in der Wohnung sehr unregelmäßig - aber guter Empfang auf dem Platz der Feuerwehr... Die Wirtin ist sehr nett und die Tochter kam abends auch rüber und wir hatten ein paar schöne Abende auf dem Balkon. 13 Tage Sonne am Stück (!) im Juni sind natürlich nicht garantiert für 2024 - aber die Gegend ist schon gesegnet mit tollen Zielen: Ausgebauter Iller-Radweg auf ca. 50 km, tolle Seen in der Nähe und so viele Bergbahnen, dass wir in 2 Wochen nicht alle geschafft haben. Höhepunkt: Die Fahrt ins Kleinwalsertal. Ein wirklich geniales Bergpanorama Richtung Schweiz und Österreich. Gut, dass der Blitz am Abend vorher in die andere Bergbahn eingeschlagen hatte und wir uns kurzfristig für diesen Berg umentscheiden mussten... Leider ein sehr steiler Abstieg ins Tal! Für Kinder und Ältere kaum geeignet. Tipps für Neulinge: Sepplwirt im Nachbardorf Winkel beim Eingang zur Klamm. Und natürlich die große Breitachklamm, der glasklare Alpsee, dazu der Coaster mit der längsten Strecke in Deutschland auf der anderen Straßenseite und die Fußgängerzone in Sonthofen, wo keine Geschäfte leerstehen. 2024, wir kommen wieder!

Kleine, aber sehr feine und saubere Unterkunft. Sehr freundliche Vermieterin. Waren mit 2 Kindern (5 & 8) in der Unterkunft, es war völlig ausreichend und auch den Kids hat es richtig gut gefallen. Wir empfehlen die Ferienwohnung weiter.

Eine schöne geräumige Wohnung in ruhiger Lage. Ausstattung der Küche super, restlichen Räume zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Einziger Nachteil, dass der Balkon nicht direkt an der Wohnung ist. Vermieter sehr nett. Ausflüge direkt von zuhause aus möglich, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ebenfalls in direkter Nähe. Empfehlenswert.
