Great Place to stay

We checked in after a loooong drive from our hometown in Missouri and was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the Condo and the drop-dead gorgeous view of the Gulf of MEXICO from the balcony. This was our second stay at this unit, and we were not disappointed. We spent 9 beautiful nights at our condo and no doubt will be staying there again.

Intermittent thunderstorms every day we were there which helped keep the August temps in check. Great view of the Gulf shore! Condo was very clean with plenty of supplies like dishes and utensils and small appliances. We had a great time as well as getting to relax at the pool and beach. Would def stay again!

Cute and quiet cabin.

A group of Vanderhall owners were meeting in the area to enjoy some of the great roads in the area. A few of us rented cabins on this property and all of us were very pleased! It nice and quiet with no traffic in the area. The cabin I rented had a great view of the mountains. We plan on going back as soon as the leaves change color!

Gulf Shore Getaway

Great location with ocean view to the front and scenic Little Lagoon at the back. The property is an older one, but very well maintained and has great amenities. Likewise, the condo was a little dated but was well maintained, clean and well stocked. The hosts were very generous with their time to answer questions and provide information.

Awesome

We loved it here! Everything was just what we needed for a quick beach trip . My only complaint would be with the cleaners .. there was no soap or tissue provided upon arrival so we had to go buy our own. Other than that it was great & perfect for the price & the view

A relaxing stay!

We had a wonderful time in Gulf shores. Donna and Bud’s condo was very clean, and had a mild fresh sent that greeted us when we entered. We loved the carts to carry in our groceries and luggage. The pool and hot tub were beautiful and relaxing and our favorite part was how near we were to the beach. You could even hear the waves when you sit on the balcony! The condo had a nice area to place our chairs and umbrella at the beach. A little word of caution, some homeowners don’t like your beach chairs too close to their property. We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay to explore gulf shores! We are grateful we were able to stay in Donna and Buds beach themed condo!

World Series Vacation

We traveled to Gulf Shores for a baseball World Series tournament for my son and turned it into a vacation. The property is located just a few minutes off the main strip where the restaurants/shops are located. This property is situated with lagoon and ocean access. We utilized the pool, hot tub, pickle ball courts, dock (just for looking), and of course the beach access. Everything is as described and pictured. We enjoyed it all so much. The condo was also as described and pictured. We took a smaller condo to enjoy the ocean side balcony and it was well worth it! I was grateful for the accessibility of the kitchen and utensils- it made our mornings and evening MUCH less chaotic! Our host, Clyde (Bud), was phenomenal! He answered all my questions promptly, was kind and courteous, and was flexible and gracious enough to let us arrive a day early! Definitely would recommend!! Thanks for the memories!

Why they chose this property

Gulf Shores Surf & Racquet Club is a fantastic complex with friendly and courteous staff. The landscaping around the pool area is absolutely beautiful, not like other newer complexes with only bare concrete and no shade. This complex not only has a deeded beach access, but two pavilions with seating if you need to rest on the scenic walk to the beach. I could go go on and on, but in my humble opinion, no other complex compares to Gulf Shores Surf & Racquet Club!

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the beautiful views, walking on the beach, sitting on the piers, cooking and eating fresh sea food. There are two tennis, or pickle ball courts, boat launch into Little Lagoon and fish cleaning station if you happen to be a fisherman. The complex is large enough that guest can also have quiet time by themselves to enjoy the beautiful sun rises or sun sets without distractions. This complex was built in the mid 80's so I am sorry, but no arcades, exercise equipment or lazy rivers.
