We had an amazing stay! The room had spectacular views of the beach. The beach access was an easy short walk and you don't have to cross any streets, which is a plus if you have kids. There are multiple restaurants within walking distance We can't wait to come back and vacation again. 10/10!

BEST BEACH CONDO EVER

This truly is the best beach condo we have ever stayed at!!! It is gorgeous, has amazing views, feels very clean yet cozy, and is walking distance from so many shops and restaurants!

Best getaway.

My husband and I stayed here for a quick little getaway for a few days. It was perfect. The condo was exceptional and the location can't be beat. It is right in the middle of everything. We loved the fact that we could sit in private on the balcony and still hear the bands play from the hangout next door. We will definitely stay here next time!!

Amazing Vacay Spot

The condo is absolutely beautiful. The beds are comfortable. Everything was so clean and neat. The location could not be any better! We enjoyed listening to the live music from the Hangout on our balcony. The views are breathtaking from everywhere in the condo. The rooftop pool was a big hit too! We would definitely stay here again.

Great View, Great Location, Beautiful Condo!

I love the location of Gulf Place, I love the beauty, comfort, and space of the condos. The game room and the rooftop pool are amazing. The condos on the beach side has amazing views of the beach. I enjoy sitting out listening to the waves on the balcony at night. It is walking distance to many restaurants, stores, and souvenir shops. The Hangout restaurant is right next door with a live band every night. I always enjoy my stays at Gulf Place. I can't wait to return.

Beautiful property

This is an amazing place to stay, close to everything. Only downfall was furniture and the noise from the Hangout all night. The couch was really small they needed night stands. She did say they had been on order. Which I’m sure was true. Would I stay again yes.

Perfect Place to stay

Gulf Place was the perfect place to stay! Right on the beach, spacious living area, comfortable beds, gorgeous views from both balconies, super clean. The pool area was beautiful. Also has a kitchen/ping pong area inside upstairs that was nice. The soundproofing inside the condo was good. I liked being able to go on the balcony and hear the music from The Hangout but inside it didn't keep me awake or bother me at all. It has a souvenir shop with snacks and drinks downstairs in case you need or forgot something. Definitely plan to come back!!

The place was great-excellent location—beautiful views and easy to go back/forth to the beach, spacious, easy check-in. Some things in the unit had problems—the stove vent kept having condensation that would drip onto the stovetop (the management was responsive in offering suggestions to turn up the ac to 70), a floor lamp was broken and in the bathroom with a tub-the shower button pops off when you turn off the shower. Overall, minor issues and we loved the place!

Beautiful Stay

The location was perfect int he middle of all the action. The views from the balcony was incredible and worth every penny spent. The place was well decorated, bed were comfortable and you had everyrthing you needed to cook a meal. you do need to bring all your own seasonings and oils etc. but that was mentioned before coming. the music from The Hangout next door was loud which was fun at night but it did also start a bit too early in the am so if you are a late riser and a light sleeper that could be an issue. It was not for us really. We would definitely be back again.

Disliked: Location
Do Not Stay Here. NOT a vacation destination, you're under constant surveillance. Instead of focusing on keeping unauthorized people off the property, security spends their time policing paying guests. Parking is a major inconvenience. Two blocks away in an open lot next to Surf Style with no covered walkway. 30 minutes to unload before you're required to move your vehicle, and security is quick to remind you. Wristband policy is excessive. Every guest-including children of any age—must wear a wristband 24/7. Management made it very clear that even a child would be denied entry back onto the property. Several units experienced air conditioning failures and significant water leaks. Rather than offering meaningful compensation, management's solution was restaurant gift cards. Hardly an appropriate response when guests are paying premium vacation prices. Don't expect much help, guests MUST bring extra supplies, they couldn't even provide a single extra dish towel. Not a family-friendly resort despite appearances. The pool rules are enforced so aggressively that children can barely enjoy themselves. No throwing balls. No roughhousing. No jumping into the pool. No floats. Security actively monitors these rules, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. If management wants this level of control, they should stop advertising themselves as a family destination and market the property as an adults-only resort. Families looking for a fun, relaxing beach vacation, stay some where else.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 June 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that Tropical Storm conditions during your stay resulted in water intrusion that impacted your vacation. Having only recently assumed management of Gulf Place, neither we nor the owners were aware of these underlying building issues. Our team responded immediately by bringing in multiple vendors to locate the source of the leaks, and we continue working toward permanent repairs. We also provided your group with $400 in restaurant gift cards as a gesture of goodwill. Guest safety and security are central to how we operate. Wristbands are required for every registered guest, regardless of age, and are common at many Gulf Coast resorts. They ensure only paying guests have access to the building and amenities. The 30-minute loading zone is enforced by the City of Gulf Shores, and our security team reminds guests to help prevent parking citations. Our rooftop pool rules exist because of the pool's shallow depth, rooftop location, and exposure to high winds. During your stay, our security team addressed repeated instances of children from your group being unsupervised and engaging in unsafe behavior, consistent with our policy requiring guests under 16 to be accompanied by an adult. The pool was also cleared due to nearby lightning, following our safety procedures. While we regret the maintenance issues you experienced, our commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for every guest remains unchanged.

Great Hangout Residence

If you're looking to be in the thick of the Hangout Vibe, this place is perfect. It's central to restaurants, the beach and shops. Music can be heard until about 10:30, but we knew what to expect in this area, and enjoyed people watching from the balcony. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Some of the furnishings seemed Poorly planned- There were no dressers, nightstands at appropriate heights or lamps for reading in bed. The main thing that desperately needs to be addressed is the dryer. It is so loud, you can't use it. It can be heard all the way down the hall by the elevators. It sounds like a jet is taking off in the condo. We would stay here again because it's a fun, convenient location with teens.
Response from VrboOwner on 16 August 2023
We hate that you ran into these issues during your stay. We are working to make these units more accommodating to guest needs. We can assure that the issue with the dryer has been addressed and resolved. We hope you choose to revisit, and we hope you have a much more pleasant experience!
