Good news…the property was gorgeous, functional, and clean. Bad news…we are ruined for any other beach location going forward - you literally can’t get any closer to that beautiful sand. Communication was excellent and the entire experience was outstanding. We hope to return!

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores and this property made our trip perfect! The location cannot be beat as you're steps away from both the beach and the pool. The second bedroom was perfect for my children. We all loved it and cannot wait to visit again!

Beach front beautiful

You can't beat the location. Right at the beach only steps to the water. The view from the living room and patio is spectacular. Nice seating for morning coffee or evening wine. We would sit and watch the kids play right below. Owners super responsive and helpful! Condo is spaciousa and had everything we needed. Plenty pots and pans, plates and cups and the washer/dryer were so nice to have especially with kids. We traveled with 3adults and 4 kds aged 5 to 11 and had plenty of space to lounge, eat, and play games. Lots of towels and extra blankets available. Murphy bed was awesome! The bed in master and guest room were really hard. Too hard for our liking but if you like a firm mattress it'll be fine. The Murphy bed and bunk bed mattresses were soft. Bottom of the stairs held our beach toys and chairs without worry anyone would take them. Pool underneath building was fine, a bit small but honestly enough for the kids especially when they needed a moment to get out of the sun. Stores super close and convenient. Parking right next to unit. Beach house kitchen and cocktails restaurant was amazing and super reasonably priced. Right down the street! Must go eat there! No extra spices or trash bags or other household items available which is normal but prepare to bring or buy extra. Starter items are provided though and got us through he first couple days. Overall the home exceeded our expectations and we would absolutely return! We plan to!

View and steps from beach

It was clean. Close to everything and good location in the beach. We stayed in an end unit and our deck with beachfront. We had several things there that I didn’t know was there like iron, coffee pot and Keri’s box fans. These where just a few extras that I had brought not k owing they had. We would stay here again

Perfect location & view

Unit is beautiful. Our only complaint is that when we arrived at 6:30pm, unit had not been cleaned (beds all dirty & towels in tub & dirty dishes). Left 2 messages with owner and no return call or text. Found # on fridge of cleaning company & they were very helpful. Came out next day and cleaned, but we still had to stay up until 1:30am washing & drying our bedding so we could sleep (after driving 10 hours)

Loved the deck!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!. The property was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. When not walking on the beach, playing golf, or shopping, we were firmly planted on the deck to enjoy the ocean. The only minor improvements I'd suggest are adding a plug or cover for the bathtub drain for those who want to take a bath and updating and/or providing a thorough cleaning/descaling to the water reservoir in the Keurig. There were other guests who came the same day we did and they stayed in the unit directly above us, and we never heard a peep from upstairs. The direct access to the beach was exactly what we were looking for and exactly what we got!

Great place!

We loved staying here! Walk down stairs from your balcony right onto the beach. This was perfect for my husband and I and our two kids. You can sleep more than four though, with a Murphy bed in the living room and a bunk bed plus double bed in the kids room. There is also a convenience store, good restaurant (Beach House) and ice cream place within walking distance.
