This Gulf Shores condo is ideal for large groups. Soak up the sun from a resort-style pool, hot tub, and private water-view balcony, or walk to white-sand beaches, Gulf State Park, and local bars and restaurants.

ABOUT THE CONDO

Take the elevator to the 4th level and step inside a bright and airy condo with vaulted ceilings and light-colored tiled flooring. On the right, the master bedroom invites you to kick back in a king bed and watch your own 32” flat-screen TV. A closet and white wood dresser provide plenty of space to unpack, while a new stacked washer and dryer next door make it easy to keep up with laundry.

Down the hall, find a tropically themed bedroom with twin bunk beds on your left. Opposite, a guest bathroom features a tub/shower combination.

Pass a half bathroom on your left as you make your way into the open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area. Prepare easy meals in a newly renovated kitchen with granite countertops. A breakfast bar with 4 stools provides a place to sip morning coffee, and a wood dining table seats 4.

After a full day of sand and sun, settle onto a 3-seat sleeper sofa and upholstered armchair to watch your favorite Blu-ray movies on a 50” flat-screen, wall-mounted TV. Ascend the elegant spiral staircase in the living area to find a loft bedroom with 2 full beds and a 29” flat-screen TV with Blu-ray player.

Best of all, sliding glass doors in the living area lead out to a private balcony overlooking a resort-style pool and the Gulf. Enjoy cool drinks and conversation as you dine alfresco at a glass-top table set for four.

Please note the HOA does not allow support animals (ESA). Guest will be evicted by the HOA if found to have an ESA animal in the condo or on the grounds.

LOCATION

You won’t have to go far to enjoy seaside living at the Grand Beach Resort. Go for a dip in the swimming pool, soak in the hot tub, fire up the grill for a family barbecue, or lounge on the sugar-sand Gulf beach directly across the street.

Take the short stroll to Gulf State Park, a scenic oasis with with hiking and biking trails, a fishing pier, and a thrilling zip line that runs above the sand dunes.

When you’re ready to hit the town, you’ll find plenty of bars and restaurants within 1 mile of your door. Walk 8 minutes to Sea-N-Suds and grab a table on the beachfront deck for casual seafood, cold beer, and a spectacular sunset.

Great location

Size of property was exactly what we needed! Only major concern was the door being ajar at check in. The door lock and key pad wasn’t the best either. We didn’t have our parking passes for the first night so I was a little worried about my car getting towed, but thankfully the night staff said my handwritten note was okay until we got the passes. Overall great stay! So close to the beach but not in the middle of everything.

Nice place / needs some love

Overall, our experience was good. We enjoyed our stay. The condo could definitely use some updating. Some minor fixes and updates would be huge for this condo. Some minor improvements to the kitchen as simple as fastening the sink and dishwasher to the counter. Some cracked and loose tiles. Bunk beds were not very comfortable. Couch is worn. The pool is okay. We didn’t use it but one time. Water seemed clean, but the tile and concrete lining is in rough shape. If some of the fixes are made, I would consider staying here again. The security guard was very friendly.

Nice for a short weekend visit.

Overall, pretty nice. No good place to store food. TV can be confusing I'm sure for people that aren't experienced in dealing with electronics. View is very nice.

Condo review

We enjoyed being in Gulf Shores very much and the location was great …but the condo was very dirty when we checked in. Whoever owns or manages the condo needs to check in on the cleaning people. I would not recommend this rental.

Amazing, and perfect location!

This condo was perfect for our trip! Me, my hubby, and 2 teenage boys. We had plenty of room, and it was VERY clean! The location was perfect, and I loved that we could hear the waves from the patio. None of us wanted to leave! We would absolutely stay here again!

Very good

Everything about the place was very good. We had a little trouble with her Internet and they were tired to try and fix it, but it just kept messing up. Other than that there were no problems. The place was exactly as described on the website it was well-maintained and clean.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. The view and location are the best part. Maintenance was quick to respond to our needs. II would have given all 5s but the condo and the property are a little dated. Construction work was going on at the time of our stay so it was a bit noisy and busy with contractors. Similarly the condo itself had some recent upgrades such as a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and master bed but the bunk beds were not very comfortable. They were hard as a rock. I would still recommend this property since it was obvious they were making improvements.

First Gulf Shores Vacation

This was our first experience at Gulf Shores. We have 6 kids (14, 14, 12, 11, 9, 7) and the space was perfect. The older 4 enjoyed the semi privacy of the loft and being a smaller property, allowing them to go to the pool while we cleaned up after meals was not as concerning. The younger 2 loved the bunk beds and the pocket door made it dark enough they could sleep past sunrise- a huge accomplishment. While the condo was exactly as described and shown in pictures, it actually exceeded my expectations. The space was so well utilized that it felt much bigger. We cooked all breakfasts and lunches plus several dinners in the condo. The kitchen is clean and well stocked. The walk to the beach was easy, barely more than those actually on the beach. The view from the balcony is unobstructed, which is really nice since it’s across the street from the beach. The street is busy enough that car traffic is loud when you sit on the balcony but not too busy to be a concern crossing and you can’t hear it with the door shut. We were very close to shopping, restaurants, and things to do. We went to the Pier, parasailing, The Hangout, Docs, Live Bait, Sunliner Diner, USS Alabama/USS Drum and would do most again. There we’re a lot of improvements happening to the property while we were there but nothing loud or disruptive to our stay. If I have to include suggestions: - get additional forks/spoons (there are 8 of each) - add darkening curtains to the master bedroom (gets bright by 6:00) - clean the air return over the top bunk more frequently (it’s not terrible but being that it’s 3 feet over a sleeping child, it a little gross) We would definitely stay again.
