Everything about the condo was as listed. Enjoyed the outdoor pool. Grocery store and coffee shop just a minute away was a great amenity. Communication with Renee was always available and she was quick with a response.

Very nice. I would rent this property again. The only inconvenience would be the space to park for larger vehicles but the guest parking is also very convenient

Communication was great. It was a little small for 4 kids. But if you have just a couple of kids it is great. Pool is right there and good sized. About a 1/2 mile walk to the beach. Renee is wonderful!

Renee was such a good host! this was the first time I have been to a beach in over 10 years. The budget friendly price allowed me the chance to take my daughter and her friend. the few things I had to reach out to her about were addressed quickly and she checked in with me throughout our stay. I will definitely consider staying here or another one of her properties down the road.

Very clean! About a half mile to the beach. Took maybe 7 or 8 minutes to walk there. Me and my husband took our 3 children with no problems whatsoever. Such a great trip, great place to stay, and excellent hostess

Great stay!

Unit was exactly as described. Owner was very easy to contact and eager and willing to answer any questions we had or fix any issues. The complex is older but the unit is redecorated and very modern.

Great First Trip

This was our first time to Gulf Shores. I was traveling with my teen daughter and her friend. This location was safe and I never worried about a thing. Location was perfect and the pool was a great addition. I would book this again!

Nice, small condo. Renee was very responsive to something that came up during our stay. Definitely recommend if you don’t mind a short walk to the beach.

Good Times!

My wife and I wanted to get away for a couple of days by ourselves! The Cove was the perfect place. Clean, neat and tidy and close to the beach. The owner Renee was super sweet and wished us safe travels and checked in on us as well!

Enjoyed our stay!!

We loved this little condo!! It was very clean and in a great location since we mostly go to the little lagoon! Our neighbors were so sweet and the pool was never really packed out like most condos. Plus communication with the owner was not a problem either, we had a response back with any questions or concerns we had!! Definitely a place to check out!!

The Cove202 was a fine place for us (2 adults, 3 children) to rally after a day of beaches and seeing what gulf shores has to offer. We could ferry over to Dauphin Island for the day and walk to the beach everyday after dinner.I loved that beach life felt so accessible from our little hub, and that the pool awaited us, upon our return. We found ourselves equipped with skim boards and beach chairs, if needed. The environment was overall quiet and family friendly, “friendly” being the main experience around the pool and as we engaged with other vacationing neighbors, leaving and returning.The rep for COVE202 was incredibly responsive, offering to go above and beyond for the smallest thing. The spiral staircase, as in any VRBO, is challenging for the skinniest and most athletic among us. That said, COVE202 was clean when we arrived and well adapted as a family vacation hub.Notes: Parking was adequate, and air conditioning was good.
