Short getaway

We only stayed for 2 nights but we really enjoyed it! It was very clean and well stocked, pool was right outside the door and very clean. We didn’t get to go to the bay but the beach was very easy to get to. We will come back again!

Perfect Family Getaway!

Our family of 8 had an incredible two-night stay at this condo! The spacious layout comfortably accommodated all of us, and the balcony with a pool view made our mornings and evenings extra special. The condo was clean, well-maintained, and stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was ideal, with easy access to the beach and nearby attractions. The host was friendly and responsive, ensuring our needs were met throughout our stay. We made unforgettable memories here and can't wait to come back again soon!

Gulf Shores Beach

The location to the beach is great. Nice value. I recommend replacing the entry / key pad as it does not work and using the lockbox is not easy. Otherwise - nice property and would gladly book another stay. Thank you.

Relaxing and quiet!

This condo was the best! The condo was so cute, very clean, and well laid out. We enjoyed the balcony overlooking the pool. There was a pier leading out to the lagoon where my boys were able to fish and my husband and I drank our coffee each morning. The location was quiet but still in close proximity to everything. The host was so sweet. She had a gift basket waiting for us when we arrived. We will definitely be booking this condo again in the near future! 10/10!!

Most Relaxing Time at the Beach

This was our first time at Gulf Shores, and the city and this property made me want to come back again and again. The beach is a short 2 minute walk away. Made it very convenient to bring everything to spend the day the beach. Beach supplies were plenty provided by the host. Being able to fish from the dock also added an activity for the family. The pool was great and right outside the unit, super convenient. The unit was clean and had everything we needed to be able to make our own meals. Would highly recommend this any family with teens and young ones alike!

Awesome

This place was amazing. It was exactly as described. The pool was right outside the door. Owner had floats and chairs for you. They also have a few fishing poles to go fishing in the lagoon. We didn’t have much luck but we enjoyed watching the sun set from the dock at the lagoon. Inside there was everything you could need. Plenty of bath towels. All the cooking things you may need. Every bed has a plug and shelf for your things. Even the bunk beds each have a shelf and outlet. Nice smoker grill on the deck. We definitely plan on coming back.

Everything was great, the beds were comfy, the pool is literally RIGHT THERE. Plenty of balconies or small decks. Fully furnished kitchen, towels and blankets in closets really helped with our 4 kids. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was also amazing usually we leave vacation with a trash bag full of dirty clothes… we only had like one set of dirty clothes for each person upon leaving. Fishing poles for us were in the unit, kids toys and beach toys were provided in lock box downstairs, wanted to use the kayaks but couldn’t find the paddles.. we could have just missed them though! The one and only thing that was notable was the 2 sets of straight up staircases you have to go up to get to the bed rooms. It was only difficult during the unloading and loading process though. Other than that we loved it. Had fun, would recommend and would stay again! Host was incredibly nice to refund an unknown fee from Expedia and move up our check in time out of the kindness of her heart. She is extremely easy to communicate with and her response time was fast. If you’re wanting quiet, not super busy, relaxing, and away from all of the hustle and bustle this is the place for you!

About the host

Hosted by Mattie Reno

Host profile image
We are a young family of 5 that enjoys our time outdoors whether it’s boating fishing or hiking! We would love to host you in our home.

Why they chose this property

We love being able to watch the kids in the pool from the porch and watch the sunset on the dock! Hermit crabs galore and good fishing on the “small
Beach” behind the condo. Quick walk to the big beach to build sand castles or catch ghost crabs at night!

What makes this property unique

Built in bunk beds to keep the little ones close and four porches to watch the sunset or sunrise!
