About this property

Whaler 7A ~ 3 bed/3 bath BEACHFRONT CONDO! Right in the heart of Gulf Shores!

Please note this unit is on the 7th floor. There have been times when the elevator will go out for a few hours at a time. The company is great to come service. But I want to be totally transparent to all my guests, especially if they have someone handicapped, in a wheelchair or other health issues. It is a spacious 1442 square foot beautifully decorated 3 bedroom 3 bath unit that sleeps 8 people comfortably. In addition to being located on the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico, it is an easy walk to dining, shopping, the State Park pier, and family activities.

The wraparound balcony has beautiful views of the Gulf, the pool, and the town to the north. This top-floor unit is directly across from the elevator for quick access to the beach and pool.

This unit has laminate floors throughout. The living room has a 65-inch Smart TV and all bedrooms have their own mounted 32-inch Smart TV. Two large sofas are in the living area for relaxing after a busy beach day, along with a sitting area with two recliners that look out to ocean views through the large sliding glass doors. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with its own full bath (tub/shower combo). The second bedroom has a queen bed with its own full bath (tub/shower combo) that additionally opens to the hall. The third bedroom has two queen beds with a shower-only (no-tub) bath. This unit has a fully equipped kitchen and dining area that seats 6 at the table and 3 additional bar seats.

The unit has a washer and dryer.

This unit has everything your family or large group needs for an enjoyable beach stay.

Great stay and close to everything.

Everyone wonders how you did booking a place until you get there. From the time we opened the door to the last day everything was great. View was great of Gulf Shores and the ocean. Close to the beach and amenities were perfect, including the BBQ grill that we used twice.

Wonderful stay!

The property was spacious and clean, with a wonderful view. The weather was perfect for our group and we had a wonderful time. The one hangup was there was one less bed than shown in the pictures. Two of the girls shared the King bed, so we made it work. We would definitely stay here again! The owner was wonderful to work with and even checked in on us during our stay.

Nice place

We had a nice stay. Only issue was elevator seemed to break often while there and wi fi was slow but the place was perfect and I found the owner of our unit to be awesome to visit with and so helpful. We never saw management or communicated with them!

Good location but elevators went out a lot and are to loud to sleep.

Good location and pretty condo. Elevators went out a lot so we had to use stair. People would report the issue..some one would come to fix it then it would break again. Someone got stuck in it!:( It was exhausting doing 7 flights of stairs a the time especially after a beach day. You can hear the elevator going up and down from the master so it makes it hard to sleep. The glass doors in master are duct taped so we could hear all the wind outside. The condo owner had front lock issues so we went and got batteries to help but issues never resolved. Tons of our vacation were spent dealing with texts from owner dealing with this.

What more could you want?

The host, Meshon, adds the icing on top with this unit! She went above and beyond with communication from 2 weeks before rental until checkout. She graciously offered suggestions and recommendations to make our stay even more enjoyable! I’ve never worked with a host like her before. The complex and the unit itself are noticeably older, but the owner has obviously worked hard at keeping it looking new. I would say the listing is exactly as it appears. It was perfect for our group The complex is the ideal size, small and intimate…no crowds to deal with. The unit states that it is wheelchair accessible - and it almost is. The bathroom door frames are smaller than the average wheelchair, making it impossible to access. This was not a major problem for us, as we were able to make do with what we had. I also did not confirm the accessibility with the host. That’s on me. Yes, you can hear the elevator from one of the rooms. Again, this was not a problem for us. We were so tired, we hardly noticed. The unit was PERFECT for our family and we look forward to staying there again. If you are looking for easy beach access, a balcony with a view, and plenty of room to spread out…this is your unit!

Family weekend 2022

We had a great stay at the whaler 7A! Our condo was so cute and comfortable! I didn’t like being right next to the public access as it was very busy and loud at times! Other than that we enjoyed our time and would rent again!

Fabulous time!

Love the lay out of this condo. We had two families with four kids ages 8-1. The layout allowed for quiet rooms so the baby could nap. There are lots of beds, so we all slept comfortably. The owners aware very sweet and easy to work with. The condo building is smaller, so it is easier to get to the beach. There is NO long boardwalk to the beach. You are right on it. Sea and suds and the gulf shores pier are right near. We LOVED every minute and will have many more vacations in this unit.

Family of 5 with teenagers and extra friends

We have stayed in the Whaler several times in the past years, but was our first time in 2013 for this unit. The condo is an older building, but the location is great and family friendly. The owner is very helpful, and easy to contact for arrangements. Hope to stay in this unit again this summer, as soon as we can lock the dates down with work and teenagers.

Recent Stay at the Whaler

This is a condo I would definitely recommend. The owner was one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with. The condo was priced reasonably, especially considering how many people the unit sleeps. It also had three baths, a definite plus. The unit was clean, and all appliances were in good shape. This property is located perfectly between the pier and The Hangout. We walked to both. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone wanting a good deal on a beach condo in Gulf Shores.
