We were sick 12 days so needless to say, we did not enjoy our vacation. The unit was okay. Our main complaint was the couch. The seating pillows kept sliding and throwing us in the floor. A lounger or anti-gravity chair would have been nice for 2 sick people. Couldn't relax except in bed.

We’re very sorry to hear that illness impacted your vacation and that the couch made it difficult to relax. We appreciate your feedback and will review options for more comfortable seating to improve future stays. We hope your next visit is much more enjoyable!

Great stay

My husband and myself absolutely enjoyed the condo. Very clean and a beautiful view of the ocean. The only downside was when we got there the elevator didn’t work and we had to walk up to the eighth floor to get to our room. We didnt mind much because we always make the best out of any situation. It wasn’t down long and we was able to get our luggage up through the elevator vs walking it all up. We would definitely stay there again.

Great place

Thanks for a wonderful Place to stay! It has a stupendous view. The appliances are all new and work. The elevator worked every time! YAY ! I would add a couple more dish towels and cloths. We stayed in and had to wash them constantly. The only thing that was bothersome was the latch on the balcony sliding door.

Not bad at all

The condo wasn't bad at all, but the couch and chairs are dirty and need a good cleaning. We threw some clean sheets over them. On the morning of check-out at 9am our door comes open. I'm standing in the hallway to the door. This young woman pokes her head in and said that they were the cleaning service. Nevermind that check-out is 10, and there's a working doorbell, instead of just coming inside. I did recommend a safety latch to end that problem.It's worth it, it just needs a few better pieces of den furniture and a few touch ups. Oh, they have a very nice view of the ocean.;)
Stayed 6 nights in May 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 18 June 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the ocean view and found the stay worthwhile overall. We sincerely apologize for the early entry by the cleaning team—check-out is indeed at 10 a.m., and your suggestion for a safety latch is a great one. We’ll definitely look into adding that for extra peace of mind. We also appreciate your notes about the den furniture and will address those touch-ups to make future stays even better. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back again!

Good little place

Condo was clean and big enough for 3 girls. Only downfall was no tents allowed on that portion of the beach which we didn’t know until we had already put it up. Very close to the ocean. Building is pet friendly so we saw multiple dogs but they are not allowed on beach. Building also has limited parking and at times there was not a single spot. Management company that owns it was super friendly and very easy to get ahold of. All in all very satisfied.

Pleasant until another guess yelled “White Powe” at my daughter & me!

The property was beautiful as was the room. The coffee maker was not working so we had to purchase one while there. I will NEVER return to Gulf Shores due to a hateful comment that was directed to me & my daughter! She is only 9 and should not endure hatred while on vacation. We will continue to vacation in Florida where the hatred is not as blatant.
