This was the perfect condo for 2 people. My husband and I enjoyed the ocean view from our balcony. I had reached out to Howard about this rental and in the meantime we had a death in the family. He reached back out to me before renting it to someone else. We certainly enjoyed our stay at the Boardwalk:)

Hi Kimberly - thanks so much for posting your kind review - we really appreciate it! Mattress comfort is often a personal preference, and we strive to select the type that will appeal to most or all of our guests. We haven't had any other complaints, and I'm sorry ours didn't work well for you. The mattress and pillows are both practically new - the mattress was replaced in November, and the pillows were replaced in March. Agein, I'm sorry they weren't a great fit for you. We are glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise, and please keep us in mind when you schedule a return visit to the area!

Hi Alan - thanks so much for posting your kind review - we really appreciate it! 😁 My apologies for any inconvenience on the basics, as there should have been at least 2-3 dishwasher pods, laundry pods, and trash bags - as well as two rolls of toilet paper, and a roll of paper towels. I will follow up with my property manager to ensure this process is working consistently. Pleaae keep us in mind when you schedule a return visit to the area!

About the host

Hosted by Howard Smithson

Host profile image

We vacationed in Gulf Shores for several years prior to purchasing our first beach front vacation rental condo at Boardwalk in 2012, and we instantly fell in love with this Alabama Gulf Coast paradise. We purchased a second unit at Boardwalk in 2018. We currently live in the Nashville, Tennessee area and plan to retire in Gulf Shores.
We think you’ll love the Gulf Shores / Orange Beach area as much as we do. Our hope is for you to have a fantastic vacation experience while staying here, so much so you will want to come back and make more memories. We pride ourselves in offering great customer service with local management and maintenance contacts if needed.
