The view was good, balcony large enough for two. Comfortable bed and furnishings. We had questions on arrival and got a quick and courteous response from the management company. New appliances and a FABULOUS ice maker in the fridgeSeveral good eating places only a short walk away. After booking I was a bit surprised that parking was not included, although I would guess it was in the ‘fine print’ somewhere. I would stay again

beach getaway

This was the perfect location for a beach getaway in gulf shores! We were right in the heart of the town and were pretty much walking distance from everything! My favorite part was the access to the beach! It was a quick and easy bridge walk to the beach. there were also attendants as soon as you got on the sand to reserve chairs if wanted!

We like the location of this building. The building was well maintained. The unit we were in was a bit dated and the bathroom was tiny but when we had an issue with the furnace Beachball Properties sent a repairman right away and the issue was resolved that same afternoon. We would book in this building again.

Pros: Location was great! Close to a lot of places within walking distance. Condo was clean. Bed was comfortable. King size pillows were wonderful. Upon check-in, our code didn’t work. Called customer service and they had a new working number in under 2 minutes. Cons: condo is dated. Couch wasn’t super comfortable. Cobwebs in vents. Overall, we were happy with the stay of 7 nights. We were in town for a music festival and not looking high luxury.

Our vacation

The condo was perfect. Loved the room and our location. Lots of entertainment, stores , and restaurants within walking distance. We just had a little trouble figuring out what floor our room was on and didn’t realize I was going to be charged 44 dollars for a parking permit. We will definitely go back and use them again.

Loved staying here!!!

We loved this condo. Well maintained, ocean view, and just a block from restaurants. WONDERFUL air conditioning!! We could see dolphins in the morning. The resort was busy but not crowded. The only negative was it was not clear as to where we needed to go to buy a parking pass. Called the management for the condo, they never called back. We found out we're to buy the pass by asking another guest.
