Amazing condo, view and convenient location for walking to shops, restaurants and exploring Gulf Shores. Terry is an awesome host and was responsive to our questions. Everything was as described and a great location on the beach. The outdoor pool was heated. There were some beach supplies in the closet (chairs, umbrella, toys). Overall, we had a great time and this condo was perfect.

Fantastic Location
Had an excellent time in Gulf Shores, in large part to this beautifully located property. Parked the car upon arrival and didn't need it again until it was time to go home. Gorgeous ocean views, ample closet space, even had extra beach chairs and umbrellas in case something was left home. We will definitely be returning.

The condo was very clean, and the location was GREAT with direct beach access. It was a little cramped for space, but it did sleep 6 comfortably. The entire process from booking, to check in was very smooth!
