Reason for only two stars on property manager is because of construction. I was informed about skywalk , but not everywhere else

Spring break trip

We were really excited to travel to Gulf SHores for our first spring break after 2 years of cancelling due to Covid. This spot did not disappoint. Having two balconies was awesome- one for adults and one for kids--the pool options were great--and the ease of check in and check out was awesome!

Cute condo very close to the beach!

We loved our 5 day stay here! Cute decor! Comfortable for the 5 of us. Very close to the beach! The only issue I had was the cleanliness and house keeping of the condo.....upon arrival, very dusty, only one roll of toilet paper in the whole place (2 bathrooms), no tissues. Also, the kitchen towels were very old and thin.....and the bath towels felt like sandpaper. Had I known I would have brought my own.

Most relaxing week ever!

Views are spectacular! Amazing layout of condo-perfect for 2 couples or a large family. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies-storage containers, glasses, plates, silverware, pot, pans and a crockpot! Love the large bathrooms! 2 balconies were great, view of sunset was so beautiful! Thank you for the wonderful closet full of beach toys and umbrella, it made beach going so easy and more enjoyable! The condo was very clean and decorated tastefully! So nice to have 2 pools and 2 hot tubs available with the complex! Easy and quick beach access by the walkway up and over the road-very safe! Perfect location with great restaurants and ice cream really close! Thank you for such a relaxing week in paradise! Didn’t want to leave but definitely will be back!

girls week!

We had never stayed in a corner unit, but must say the place was amazing!!! Views were outstanding, condo was very well decorated, the complex was amazing. Only one complaint, the elevators were being worked on. Made it a little inconvenient, but nothing to be upset about. Overall, great place, 3rd time at this complex, and will be back in September!!
