Nice condo…clean, great views and loved sitting on balcony. The check-in was easy. Location is convenient for eating out and activities. Hoping next time cushions could be added to lounge chairs in order to be used. That would make stay perfect. Would definitely rent again.

Property was very clean when we arrived and kitchen had every appliance needed and had efficient utensils/pots and pans/bakeware. Pool was never crowded so kids enjoyed that. Spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. My only complaint is trash room is close by and garbage truck runs everyday EARLY but nothing owner can do about that and it’s better than having stinky garbage. Will definitely stay here again.

Overall Good

Place was very nice. I did not see any replacement garbage bags. One bag for 5 days was not acceptable. It would have been better to throw away the one beach chair in the laundry room then to leave it as an option. It's rusty and rickety. The dishwasher needs to be secured. It tips down when loading the top shelf. Other than those things it was a nice place to stay.

Good but definitely needs attention

The condo was “ok” but definitely needs some attention to the interior unit as well as the entire property. I understand the rental company only has so much control over this so I want to be fair in my criticism. Was it the worst rental I have ever had? No. But was it far from the best? Yes. Pros: great beach access, great balcony views, convenient location, responsive management, and comfortable mattresses. Unfortunately for just about every pro there is a con: balcony has amazing sunrise views but some of the worst furniture for lounging including cushions that were ripped and spilling out. Unit had pictures showing rugs for comfortable interior but not inside at the unit. Flooring was dirty (management did send a crew to clean a second time) but it just appears as it’s an older unit flooring is worn out. Again would be fine if rugs maybe were in the unit. Baseboards and walls definitely could use a good paint job and caulking. The property itself could use a more attention to details to fix multiple areas of rusting, falling a part, or neglected maintenance. Pool area had missing tiles and green algae looking growth in areas. Hottub had lots of sand inside the water and was severely stained. Not sure whether the HOA or not controls the Key fob system but it is a complete joke having to play Russian roulette to figure out what keys work. Overall it was just an okay place but deceptive pictures and reviews mislead like this place is 4-5 stars. Dont have high hopes.

Loved this place!

My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary in Gulf Shores. We found this cute condo and LOVED IT! The views are amazing! The neighborhood is quiet, and easy to get in and out. We loved that the beach was just a quick elevator ride downstairs. If you are on the fence of where to stay in GS, this is the place! We would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you for a wonderful week!
