Best vacation spot

We came here for a mom’s weekend away and this place made the stay perfect! The location is great, easily within walking distance of shops, food, and entertainment. The first floor location made it literal steps to the beach and Ronald communicated so well! We will definitely look to be back!

Best Beach Condo EVER!

We had the most amazing stay at this condo. View of the beach from the balcony and master bedroom was so pretty, at night laying in bed and seeing the moons reflection on the ocean was so pretty. The condo was even nicer in person than in the pictures. Super clean! Normally beach condos can sometimes have a weird smell, this one did not at all. Just clean and nice! The kitchen had everything and more you would need to cook different meals. Wi-Fi worked great! Condo was close to everything including a market across the street to grab quick groceries. The master walk-in shower was clean and had great water pressure, hot water never ran out. Loved that we could just walk downstairs and be on the beach instantly. Made it so easy. The beach was so beautiful. Our kids caught fish, crabs, and hermit crabs on our stay. Best of all, the owner was great! So communicative with any questions we had and making sure we were taken care of. Highly recommend! Thanks for our stay and all the memories our family got to make.

Awesome vacation

Our family had a fantastic week at this condo. It’s location is great. Being on the first floor is a major plus and even better is the door is right at the top of the stairs. The place was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The kids beach toys that were provided were extra. Ron is a fantastic host and I urge you to book this place now! You won’t regret it

Freeman Family Vacation

When we arrived it was very clean and very well decorated. It had everything we needed in the kitchen, including containers to keep leftovers. We cooked almost every evening as we were a family of 8. We loved being on the beach and so close to everything, as our teenagers enjoyed The Hangout. We were able to walk to the souvenir shops, The Hangout, and Island Market located together with the Surf Style souvenir shop. I would definitely stay here again and definitely would recommend this beautiful home.

Gulf Shores Island Sunrise

The property was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. It seemed to be newly remodeled. The location was convenient to everything we wanted to do. We loved the beach area and spent many hours there walking, collecting shells, sunning and enjoying the sound of the crashing waves. Lisa was a wonderful host, responding to the few questions we had immediately and even coming over with several new supplies she thought we might need. All in all a wonderful month in Gulf Shores. We highly recommend Island Sunrise unit 168.

Spring break

We had spring break here. There was some issues with getting the check in info, but when I reached out to the owner he was super responsive. Everything worked out perfect. Condo was clean and exactly as advertised. There weren’t a lot of plug ins, bring a power strip or something if you travel with teenagers or have alot of electronics. Thanks for the great experience.

Summer of 2025

My family an I traveled 770 miles to this amazing slice of heaven. The children had their own room and it was wonderful, the master bedroom/bathroom was also great I loved the walk in shower myself. The view from the balcony was absolutely stunning! This was my FIRST time staying right in the beach, and well I will never NOT stay on the beach it’s the ONLY way to go! It was excellent. We were walking distance from the pier we walked there twice and the kids enjoyed it very much. ONE perk is the Surf-Style across the road is a grocery store to, they are a bit pricey BUT it got us through the evening an we made a Walmart trip the next day which isn’t far either. The eating joints close to the condo were great. The pool was very warm and welcoming not too busy. Our children are already asking when we can go back.

Great for softball tournaments in foley

This is our second stay here. Both times have been great. Comfortable beds, nice size shower, full kitchen with plates, cups, bowls, silverware, cooking pans, pots, utensils, etc…Even has crockpot, electric skillet, two coffee makers, toaster, etc..Also has bbq pits outside that work great. You only need to bring your food to cook, everything else you need is there. Washer and dryer was a life saver for an 8 night stay. Beach doesn’t stay too crowded in front of the condo. You also won’t have to deal with a million people like the bigger condos. Only downside is you get one parking pass but you can street park basically across the street next to the surf store. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Ronald Daugherty

Host profile image
We are a military family and I started my career at Eglin AFB, FL. I've loved the beach since then. We purchased the condo to enjoy personally and to share with others.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this property after walking on the balcony. You can see the water and hear the waves. Island Sunrise is a small complex with 60 units and has an elevator.

What makes this property unique

The complex has a covered patio with swings and chaise loungers. Three grills are available to cook your favorite barbecue. The pool provides fun for the kids and adults. Walk right across the boardwalk and your toes will be in the sand.
