Summer of 2025

My family an I traveled 770 miles to this amazing slice of heaven. The children had their own room and it was wonderful, the master bedroom/bathroom was also great I loved the walk in shower myself. The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning! This was my FIRST time staying right in the beach, and well I will never NOT stay on the beach it’s the ONLY way to go! It was excellent. We were walking distance from the pier we walked there twice and the kids enjoyed it very much. ONE perk is the Surf-Style across the road is a grocery store to, they are a bit pricey BUT it got us through the evening an we made a Walmart trip the next day which isn’t far either. The eating joints close to the condo were great. The pool was very warm and welcoming not too busy. Our children are already asking when we can go back.

Best Beach Condo EVER!

We had the most amazing stay at this condo. View of the beach from the balcony and master bedroom was so pretty, at night laying in bed and seeing the moons reflection on the ocean was so pretty. The condo was even nicer in person than in the pictures. Super clean! Normally beach condos can sometimes have a weird smell, this one did not at all. Just clean and nice! The kitchen had everything and more you would need to cook different meals. Wi-Fi worked great! Condo was close to everything including a market across the street to grab quick groceries. The master walk-in shower was clean and had great water pressure, hot water never ran out. Loved that we could just walk downstairs and be on the beach instantly. Made it so easy. The beach was so beautiful. Our kids caught fish, crabs, and hermit crabs on our stay. Best of all, the owner was great! So communicative with any questions we had and making sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend! Thanks for our stay and all the memories our family got to make.

Great for softball tournaments in foley

This is our second stay here. Both times have been great. Comfortable beds, nice size shower, full kitchen with plates, cups, bowls, silverware, cooking pans, pots, utensils, etc…Even has crockpot, electric skillet, two coffee makers, toaster, etc..Also has bbq pits outside that work great. You only need to bring your food to cook, everything else you need is there. Washer and dryer was a life saver for an 8 night stay. Beach doesn’t stay too crowded in front of the condo. You also won’t have to deal with a million people like the bigger condos. Only downside is you get one parking pass but you can street park basically across the street next to the surf store. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay

We were in Gulf Shores for a travel baseball world series and the location of this property was perfect. The condo was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed how small the property was as a whole, this made the beaches much less crowded. We were in walking distance to a few restaurants and stores. The parking situation (only 1 pass per room) was the only thing that was a little frustrating to us at first but we quickly found free parking just a block or 2 away which was fine. Overall, great property. Would highly recommend. Communication with the owner was top notch!!

Great stay st Island Sunrise

The condo we rented was perfect for the two of us. It was clean, well-maintained, well-equipped, and nicely decorated. The beach access was perfect. Check-in and unit access were easy. The building as a whole, however, was not well taken care of. There was a huge pile of sand in front of the door to the stairs that was not taken care of for four days after we arrived, and the stairs were always really sandy. The pool was not cleaned on a daily basis. Those are just a few details that would have made the property more appealing. All in all, we had a great stay.

Great overall experience!

The only things we had issues with was bedroom tvs not working properly, the door giving issues while unlocking, and this was the first condo we've stayed in that didn't have coffee already. The host was very professional and prompt, he was a very good host. I'm sure I messaged him several times while he was busu, and that didn't bother him nor did it change his kindness. I'd book at this property again.

Great place to stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the condo. We were in town for my daughter's softball tournament. This is our 3rd time visiting Gulf Shores. We've stayed in bigger complexes before but I love this smaller complex....way less crowded. We were there for the 4th of July and I liked walking out to the beach for fireworks. Overall, our beach area was way less crowded than the bigger condo units, even for the holiday. We would definitely consider staying here again!!

Great condo

This is our second stay at this location and it was even better this time! Very clean! Very safe location. We love that this is a smaller building. The beach doesn’t get so crowded. I was nervous the week leading up to our stay as the beaches were double red flags and closed to swimming but we had great weather and only yellow flags (couple purple flag days). From here, you Can walk to shops and restaurants, or quick drive . The bonus is the washer and dryer in the condo. Made for easy unpacking when we got home since everything was clean already. We can’t wait to come back!! The owner is great to work with! See you next year!!

Fantastic Beach Stay!

Our family absolutely loved this little beach getaway! The owners went above and beyond helpful in the check-in process! The condo had everything we needed to cook daily, and we enjoyed morning coffee on the deck. Our teenage daughter loved that her room was not right next to ours so she could stay up late and watch movies with the TV in her room! It was a quick walk down to the beach and great access to things in town! We had zero difficulty finding parking in the complex. Thanks for the beautiful week!
