Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear the condo was just what you needed and that you enjoyed the great view. It’s wonderful to know you found it spacious, quiet, and clean. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay!
This unit was perfect. The setup was great for our crew. The location was ideal and right on the beach. There was a security guard located on the property until late at night which was nice. The only complaint I would have is the trash chute is right outside the door. We never heard it being used thankfully but we would find lingering trash on the ground from time to time.We would definitely stay here again in the future!!

Feedback like this is very helpful, and we'll share it with the appropriate team to ensure it stays cleaner and more consistent. We're happy that it didn’t impact your stay overall, and we truly appreciate your kind words and intention to return. We’d love to host you again in the future!
We had a great experience! Great location right on the beach! Amazing views from the balcony. Easy check in/ check out. Saw some reviews about water pressure, etc. I would say if you stayed at many places on the beach you know that is always a challenge but we had five people and it was not an issue at all. Having a washer/dryer was great. Close to just about everything.

The condo was a little dated and the beds were not comfortable but it was close to everything and the beach was nice. It suited our needs and was worth the money we paid versus what we would have paid for a nicer condo

Dirty property, not worth the money spent
The location of the property was great. Easy to park, great access to the beach and pool was okay, could have been larger.
The condo itself was VERY dirty, and Young's SunCoast DID NOT follow through on what they promised. My husband and I treated my parents to this vacation and my mom and I spend way too much of our vacation time cleaning the unit so we were comfortable enough to sleep there. The walls were covered in dust and webs, the floors dirty enough that we all wore sandals as we couldn't go barefoot. The bathrooms were also full of dust and dirty.
Upon arrival, there was a lady sitting in the recliner eating something. She definitely startled my daughter and I as we open the door and walked in. She said she was doing a final walk through---was VERY odd.
In addition, we had an infestation of ants in the kitchen and master bedroom (of a 5th floor condo?) that we found the first full day. Once notified, the property management group sent an exterminator which helped in the kitchen but they continued to appear in the master bedroom.
There is too much furniture in the condo for it's size and the beds are in need of replacement.
I would NEVER rent from SunCoast again.
Great location, walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Condo was clean. Master bedroom outside door not sealed well, had to keep it shut and locked (hot air would blow through if not). Minimal bathroom counter space. But overall, great condo. Management super helpful and responded quickly to messages.
Very clean - well maintained- convenient to much around Gulf Shores. Check in and out incredibly convenient. We will stay here again.

Not So Updated.... But on the Beach
We have spent many nights at VRBO homes and this by far was the worst. The positives include the balcony and the proximity to the beach.The home smelled "old", lots of updating needs to take place.... multiple layers of paint on the walls, master bedding was not clean and we had to use a blanket from the closet. Master bathroom has lots of scum build up around the bottom of the shower... just yucky. Our family is not very picky but this was pretty rough. If possible, stay elsewhere.
