We really enjoyed our stay here. The best part is the wrap around balcony with sunrise and beach and even town views from this 13th floor corner unit. It is a perfect place for 4 people to stay, with 2 bathrooms and two bedrooms. Super responsive hosts, and check in and out was very easy. Close to town but quiet. There is a convenience store right across the street and it close enough to walk to a few restaurants within a couple of blocks (Bahama Bobs, Lauria's By the Beach, The Catch, etc). Walkable to right downtown, but probably a couple mile walk so some may prefer to drive. Access to the beach was convenient and easy as well. We would stay here again!

Absolutely amazing

I have stayed in Gulf Shores many times and this condo was the best ever. We had the corner property so we have views from the balcony from three sides. The ocean view was spectacular. The condo was very clean. There were four of us ladies that stayed and we all said it was the best place to stay. Hopefully we will get to come back again.

Great family vacation destination

Our family enjoyed this property, plenty of room for us. Condo was clean with many amenities. 13th floor gave beautiful views of the Gulf. Check in and check out process very simple. Indoor/outdoor pool is small. Condo is beachfront, umbrella service easily obtained. TVs in each bedroom and living room, but remotes did not operate TVs. Would definitely stay again!

Very clean upon arrival. We were surprised multiple times by people (for legitimate reasons) being in the unit or entering the unit without us knowing so communication could have been better.
