The only thing good about this condo is the view and a clean pool.There is carpet in the kids room that is moldy and makes the whole place smell musty There was mold on the dining room chairs and the outdoor seating as well. Our power was cut off during our stay which put a damper on our day. We love gulf shores and will return. We just won't come back to Gulf Tower

We appreciate your feedback, Dana. We never liked to hear that a guest is less than satisfied with their stay. We are sorry to hear that the power went out but it looks like they got it back on quickly. We wish you would have said something during your stay about any cleanliness issues as we would have sent the cleaning company back out immediately to address those. We are very pleased to hear you enjoyed those amazing views! Thanks for staying with us.

The Condo was great! The kitchen was equipped better than any condo I’ve rented and I have rented many. The service was way above average. There was a problem with the air and when I text the host, they answered in a few minutes. They conversed with me until a service man could come to fix the problem. The issue was fixed in minutes. The next day someone was there to give an estimate on a new air unit. We were so pleased since we haven’t had that communication in other rentals. Thanks to all

Our stay at Gulf Tower was absolutely wonderful. The place was clean and spacious. It literally has everything you need for a vacation getaway. The patio that overlooks the ocean and Pool was beautiful. That ocean breeze is like no other. We are so thankful we found this place and will definitely be staying here on our next visit.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a no frills place. It’s clean, close to everything my family liked to do, and has everything you need minus a hairdryer, but I always bring mine with me. The balcony was great to sit and watch dolphins swim by every morning or the kids in the pool. The downside is the parking lot is small if you have a big vehicle.

Thanks for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback. We apologize for the ice maker. We are disappointed to hear it did not work properly as it is a brand new refrigerator. A warranty claim is under way. We will certainly pass along your feedback to the cleaning company. It’s great to hear you enjoyed your visit and we hope you will
Stay with us again in the future.
