We loved our stay at your condo and appreciated you accommodating our family of four at the last minute. The space was clean, the views were beautiful. Regarding the parking, we encountered a discrepancy as the office charged us 60 instead of the 50 mentioned in the listing. We also found it disappointing. the parking pass is set for two vehicles since we only had one, but we still had to pay the full 60. We had a wonderful time and look forward to staying with you again in Gulf Shores.

Exactly as advertised! Great place to stay. Directly on the beach and walking distance to most things. Picked this place so the teenagers could do their own thing without driving. Exceeded expectations. The weather wasn’t great so I spent a lot of time indoors, the view was absolutely stunning. Watched dolphins every morning. Will stay again!

Overall you pay for the view! The pool heater was broken for 90% of our trip. They got it working on the day of check out. No hot tub to be found. Older condo with some updates. If we knew for sure the pool heater was working we would stay again for sure! Would also like the check in process at least a day before to ease the anxiety of any issues. Overall older, but nice large space to spread out in with an amazing view.

This property had a great view of the ocean with easy access to parking, the pool and the beach. The layout of the condo worked well, it just wasn’t clean. We had to wear our shoes because the bottom of our feet would turn black when walking in the condo. The floors were dirty and the bed sheets had not been changed in at least one bedroom. The bathrooms were in okay condition. The ceiling in master closet was peeling and leaving a mess on my clothes hanging in there and my suitcases I had stored. I tried to sweep up the mess but the broom was in poor condition. There was also clothing left over from a previous guest under the master bed. Communication with the owner was poor and they were unresponsive. They did answer the phone when our A/C went out the last night but we had to sleep without air due to HVAC not being able to get here until today. The owner communicated that this morning. They left us 2 trash bags and no laundry packet (we should have had at least 1) then expected to have all towels laundered when we left. Overall, great location and amenities. The condo just needs a good cleaning!

Everything was great. Check in was super easy, the place was clean, had plenty of room for our group of 5 adults and 5 children. Great kitchen. Easy access to beach. It was cold and rainy during our stay so beach time was limited, but the view from the balcony and living room was breathtaking. Wake up early and watch the sunrise and the dolphins.
