Beautiful stay with lots of relaxation.

The condo was wonderful for our family of 4. The unit was decorated in a cool beach vibe. Easy access to pool and beach and elevator was pretty fast. We would definitely stay again. Our only main complaint was WiFi is very poor even with pass code . Gulf shores is beautiful. It was a great way to relax. Thank you for sharing your condo with us.

Great location

Overall we had a great trip. The smaller size of the building meant we didn’t have to wait for the elevator and there was plenty of parking. The condo was very roomy, my kids were happy to each have their own room and bathroom, that is hard to find in beach listings. There was plenty of seating and we never felt cramped. The unit itself could benefit from some updating in the kitchen and master bathroom.

Everything you could want in a beach vacation.

First just wanted to say thank you again to our host Jimmy! We had great communication throughout the stay and he was very accommodating. The condo was great with plenty of space, a great atmosphere, and of course that beautiful balcony beach view. The unit was thoroughly clean and stocked with anything you could want or need. Definitely one of the better kept beach rentals I've stayed at in recent years. Definitely a 5 star rental.

Wonderful Birthday week

The property is in a wonderful spot! We felt safe and welcomed from the beginning to the end of the trip. We didn’t have any wait for the elevator at any time. The carts were super helpful for getting things to and from our condo! The pool was in a perfect spot right by the beach so you could easily go to both. The view from the condo was phenomenal! We loved waking up and having our coffee right on the balcony overlooking the ocean. The ambience of the whole condo was beautiful! The furniture, spacious bedrooms, decor, and so much more. It met our every expectation and then some. Absolute perfect spot! We will definitely be back to stay at this gorgeous beach condo!!

We were disappointed in the condition of the condo. Before we arrived the owner was very responsive however while we were there they did not return our phone call about issues. We liked the layout of the condo & the furniture dining table was very worn and sticky, it couldn't be cleaned.

Older unit - but nice - hate the key entry

Pros: smaller unit so less foot traffic, quicker elevators, more parking, not as noisy. The walk from the pool to the beach was super short which was very nice. Cons: the biggest frustration and annoyance was the keyed front door. You have to use a physical key to lock the door knob and dead bolt. This just seemed so out of date from what we are use to using and was a huge hassle when you were carrying a bunch of stuff. Then you had the anxiety of keeping up with these keys or having the added step of putting them in a lock box every time. The other doors on our floor had traditional hotel style doors with either a code or a card. Would love to see this door updated. On the inside there was not a security lock at the top of the door. With small children it’s something i like to see for peace of mind. The balcony door was super hard to open, I’m not sure if it’s suppose to be like that as a child proof feature or if it’s just old. But it almost felt like you were pulling it off the track to get it to open. Also, there was no bedding for the pull out bed. We ended up having to use a top sheet off another bed to cover the mattress. There were pillows and think fleece blankets in the closets but not extra sheets for the pull out bed. It advertises sleeping 8 so IMO there should have been another set of sheets to use with that bed. Overall I would probably stay there again but these were a few things that cause inconvenient annoyances. We definitely had a great time! Thank you

We booked this condo because of the 3 bedrooms as my wife and I were going to enjoy as vacation with all our kids for the first time in years. The location of the condo is perfect with nice beach access. The condo itself is just like the pictures. At first I was concerned as there is only one elevator, but soon realized this is no issue. The elevater is fast and being a smaller complex there is no wait time. Took a little while for the condo to cool down, but it is a larger space and it did get to a nice temp. Reached out to Jimmy on the first day and he responded within minutes about the issue. All in all it was a great week with the family with plenty of room. I would stay here again!!

The condo was excellent. Very clean, everything was just as described. Excellent view and right on the ocean. Communication was great with hosts. Never waited very long for response and most of the questions were answers with in a few hours.Last the location was excellent no more than 25 minutes to all the local bars and restaurants. If looking for upscale restaurants but not over the top, The Perch, which over looks ocean and Jesse’s by the Bay which overlooks the bay. You won’t be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Jimmy Garrett

Host profile image
I own and manage rental property in my own hometown, and in Gulf Shores besides this condo. My wife, three daughters, and I have always enjoyed warm weather in Alabama; now that I am finally settling down, my wife and I have decided to buy a few condos. This is our home away from home! We love relaxing and enjoying the sun!

Why they chose this property

We love the southern Alabama beaches, and because we have friends living within thirty miles of Gulf Shores, we decided to buy beachfront property. We finally decided to move to Gulf Shores in January 2020 after vacationing here for 20 years. We know you will love our new city as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

My wife is an avid shopper and she enjoys the two shopping outlets located in Gulf Shores, plus the several surf shops in Gulf Shores too. My three daughters and their friends enjoy going to the festivals held annually year around, going to The Hangout less than one mile from our condo, and go-kart racing in Gulf Shores! We all go out to eat at our favorite restaurant throughout the week! There are over seventy-five restaurants within ten miles of our condo. Our favorite restaurants are the Shrimp Basket, Lambert's, Tacky Jack's, the Fish River Grill, and The Rib Shak BBQ.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
