The condo was exactly what we were looking for at the beach. The view was perfect! The ocean greeted us both in the morning and evening. The interior was as advertised with comfortable beds and plenty of room for relaxing with TV or dining.The owner was super when we contacted him about a tiny glitch with the parking pass. He also responded to any questions we had prior to arrival! Don't hesitate to book this one!

For those who have never been to Gulf Shores, indeed not your natural expectation of what Alabama might be. Glad you all enjoyed your family stay with 3 units on the 3rd floor. Fun to vacation like that every so often! Michael

We loved this condo and our ten-day stay in Gulf Shores! Great balcony with tall chairs to help see the goings-on at the beach. Used beach service a couple of days and they are super nice and convenient. The parking pass being already in the condo was super nice so we didn't have to mess with that, and the parking place was convenient. We used the very clean and nice workout room a few times and enjoyed that. Had a small issue but owner was very quick to contact building managers and we met two of them, including maintenance guy, and they were very nice. Comfortable bed, plenty of room for our stuff, and just an enjoyable place. Very convenient to some of our favorite places nearby (Lauria's, Bahama Bob's) and easy to venture out to Gulf State Park to the pier, to eat at Perch (amazing!) or to go over to Cobalt, the Florabama, shopping at the Wharf. Got lucky with the weather and overall a fantastic trip! Would stay in this condo again for sure.

My daughter said it was the BEST week of her life!

Such a great property! Right on the beach and the views are incredible. We were in town for my daughter’s softball tournament and our accommodations ended up being the envy of the other families we traveled with. Plenty of room, all the amenities, and right down the street from anything you could possibly want to do (or eat). We would love to stay here again!

Perfect Condo

We loved the condo. Very clean, updated everything, beautiful decor, short walk to elevator, beach, car, etc. It had everything we needed for a great week. Michael was very nice and helpful and we will hope to stay here again.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 March 2020
Sophia & Jim, Thank you again for choosing to stay at CS307. It is so important for owners to keep their units updated and I spend thousands every year in doing that. It matters to my guests so it matters to me. Some things you can see (oil rubbed bathroom fixtures or original art work) some you can feel (new towels/sheets each year), and others like the all new HVAC system you would never notice unless the old one failed during your visit but it all matters so it all gets done. I hope to see you back your next visit to Gulf Shores! Thanks again, Michael
