You can't go wrong with staying at this cute little beach condo at The Whaler in Gulf Shores!! It was perfect and had everything we needed and then some! Extra huge bonuses, the balcony ocean front view, the pool and the beach access from the pool area! I would definitely stay here again!!

The Whaler was perfect for our family! We have 2 grown kids and one preteen. We all fit comfortably. There wasnt excessive noise or "busy" around the condo. Walk straight out to the beach or dip in the pool! Our hosts were quick to respond and all we asked for was an early check in lolWe had zero issues the whole trip!

This property was great! We had six of us stay here (Mom, Dad and 4 teenagers). Master bedroom is very spacious and had plenty of storage and extra blankets/pillows. Second bedroom is a tight squeeze but it works and the kids were perfectly fine in there. Kitchen comes with plenty of dishes, cooking supplies and a large closet pantry. The large windows and terrace were our favorite with an excellent view of the beach. There's two Nautica beach chairs and a few beach towels to use as well. We found them on the terrace and towels were in the laundry closet. The building itself is older but had been maintained well. Pool is a good size and was very clean. Located right on the beach made access super easy and you're right by a lifeguard stand which are few and far between on the beach. There are several companies on the beach right by where the Whaler sits that you can rent chairs and umbrellas from too which makes it even more convenient.Check in was easy , communication was great and we had zero problems. We will definitely stay here again!

The room was clean overall. One accent chair's upholstery needs cleaned. The closet in the bunk bed room was full of items and unusable. Construction around the pool and at the base of the condo was in progress while we were there, so there was extra noise and areas off limits.However, the views are perfect. The kitchen and master bed/bath are all updated and new. The condo was the perfect size for our group of 5. The access to the beach is simple and easy as well as parking and elevator access. Highly recommend to small groups or families.

Thank you so much for your review. Our building is getting a lot of upgrades and it has put a damper on renting. I’m glad you enjoyed the beach and our upgrades. Our renovations should be completed by next spring please visit us again. 😊

The condo was clean. Online pictures a bit deceiving of the size of the bedroom with bunk beds. The walls are thin and you could hear everything going on outside. The elevator quit working. Talked to the host. Also tried calling the property manager listed on the property and was informed that do NOT manage that property anymore. Trash and broken glass stayed piled up at the garbage can by the elevator.

About the host

Hosted by Adonna Andrews

Host profile image
My husband & I live in Tennessee & love the outdoors. We enjoy letting guests spend time at our piece of the beach.

Why they chose this property

We’ve spent time all down the coast from Alabama through Florida and decided that Gulf Shores/Orange Beach areas are best because of beautiful white sand beaches & less congestion than most

What makes this property unique

We love the complex we own in because it’s small enough to accommodate without the elevator congestion & close commute to the beach/ocean.
