Everything was really nice. The unit was very clean, plenty of towels and starter supplies. There was only 3 of us so, lots of room to spread out. The pool was very clean. It is a very family oriented which is wonderful. The kitchen was stocked well. We truly enjoyed our stay and will consider coming back again.

Great place!..just a few things of note

Loved the condo, beauty and so clean, will request exact unit in the future. Couple of heads-up items: the local management tel # is non-working but the Vacasa 800 was staffed with helpful agent. The king bed box springs needs replacing, it squeaks (LOUDLY) on any movement, even if just rolling over. Lastly to be clear, parking passes will be delivered and placed on counter for this unit (loved it) but the directions in the Welcome Packet for attaining parking pass is confusing…we had to call 800 for clarification.

Beautifully decorated and very clean condo! It was nice that this was a low rise condo- allows you to get away from the crowds! A nice touch was that 2 beach chairs were available. Would definitely stay here again!

Enjoyable

When we arrived the view was amazing, house was nice, sand all in the floor and black stuff would come off the floor onto your feet. Master bedroom bed was terrible, every move you would make would wake the whole house because it was so noisy.

Just what we needed

Perfect for our group of 4. Had everything we needed for our stay. It could use a couple of minor updates but all in all this was a good location and I would stay here again! It does include 2 beach chairs and umbrella, which I did not see in the listing on Vacasa. It's an end unit as well which was nice. There is designated parking underneath the building in the shade which is awesome. There is only 1 elevator but the building is not huge so the wait wasn't usually very long. With this unit being in the 2nd floor we mainly used the stairs.

Great Condo!

We have stayed in this condo several times. It’s always very clean and comfortable. This is the only one I’ve ever stayed in at Tropic Isles that offers free beach chair and umbrella rental. It really helps out on cost.

Relaxing Beach stay

This condo was everything we hoped for. The space was immaculate with every room perfectly organized. I especially appreciated the labels on the light switches and the basket in the bathrooms to help organize our stuff. Last , but certainly not least, is the view. Amazing!!

Amazing!

My first time to Gulf Shores and would, without question, come and stay here again! The unit was beautifully decorated, was fully stocked with anything you would need for your stay (kitchen appliances, cookware & utencils, hair dryer, bath towels, extra blankets, pillows, etc.!), the seating on the balcony and the views made for perfect evening cocktails, a beautifully maintained complex that I saw many owners, who clearly take pride in owning at this location, taking care of. I cannot say enough about my stay - it was perfect in every way!

The property was great! Very spacious and clean. The owners did a great job suppling the home with everything you need... from the assigned covered parking to the tint on the sliding door.If you've ever rented beach homes you know that many will skimp on the basics like silverware and dishes. Not this one! It's the little things that make you want to book again,and I will specifically seek out this unit the next time
