Great location

Very clean. Perfect location. Great view. Walkable to the Hangout, multiple shops, restaurants. This area of the beach wasn’t empty, but also wasn’t nearly as busy as other parts. Nice walkway to the beautiful beach. We didn’t use the pool, but it looked nice as well. Check in and out was simple , owner was easy to communicate with. This was our first time in Gulf Shores, and we loved it!

A great condo

This condo is really spacious for a one bedroom unit, and the half bath is an added plus. The king bed in the bedroom was really comfortable and the whole condo was spotless. The view from the balcony is beautiful. It is close to many great restaurants. The check-in and check-out instructions from the owner were very clear. We would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break

Property was a perfect location for all of our favorite places in Gulf Shores. We like to park our car and walk all week, and you can't be at how central this building was. The condo itself is exactly as described (and noted in all the great reviews!). It was very clean, the building's common areas were as well. Everything we needed was provided in th condo and the communication with the owner was super fast and easy. Check in was a breeze. Overall, one of our favorite places we have stayed in Gulf Shores - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great experience 10/10

My family and I had a wonderful stay and are more than pleased with this VRBO. When we walked into the living room all you could see is the beautiful skyline and water from the balcony. The place was very clean, had everything we needed and was perfect for our family size, 2 adults and 2 teenage girls. The host was very nice and made sure that we had all the information we needed prior to getting there and made sure to let us know she was available if needed. We did not have to contact her for anything during our stay. Everything was perfect! We drove 10.5 hours straight to get there, which can be a bit stressful, but when we got there is was well worth it, especially considering the ease of everything with this VRBO. We woke up early most mornings and seen the beautiful sunrise from the balcony and we even seen a dolphin the first morning! I would definitely stay here again 10/10.

About the host

Hosted by Theresa van den Bulk

Host profile image
We take great pleasure in vacationing as a family, and we understand the significance of this experience for you as well. Therefore, we are offering condos for rent, allowing you and your family to create lasting memories in this beautiful location, which my family and I have visited for many years. Delight in the family-friendly entertainment, distinctive shopping opportunities, exquisite dining, and particularly the pristine white sand beaches and emerald waters.

Why they chose this property

The 1st time we came to Gulf Shores we just could not believe the WHITE sand and EMERALD GREEN WATER! THIS location LOCATION LOCATION IS THE BEST! You can walk to everything you need. After driving and driving with non stop questions. Mom are we there yet? We get out of the car and don't have to get back in the car to eat or shop. Having perfect climate and family atmosphere attracted us to come back and get a place right on the beach. Our kids just love being able to go on the beach without having to cross any roads or walkways. We can watch them from the balcony. As you see this is perfect set-up!

What makes this property unique

You're right on the beach not across the road. Directly beach front condo. You want to get a drink, freshen up, go shopping and/or dining all in walking distance. This is such a plus if you had a long drive and don't want to get back in the car! Please read the reviews the pictures don't do Justus to this condo.
