The condo was absolutely amazing very spacious and clean. The parking situation was a little difficult if you are taking an oversized vehicle be prepared because parking is tight and there were a lot of compact cars parking in oversized vehicle parking but that’s not the hosts fault. The pool was very nice and the hosts were very responsive if we needed anything! Will definitely stay again for sure!

Location to the beach was great and what we wanted. The condo needs work, several areas were broken or falling off (master shower handle, master towel bar missing, baseboards have mildew, shower had mildew). Great kitchen and utensils though.

Spectacular unobstructed view of the ocean. A quick elevator ride down and boardwalk to the beach. The building provides carts to haul all your gear up to your condo, so nice! Walking distance to restaurants, ice cream, coffee, entertainment, and souvenir shopping. Loved the condo with two rooms with king beds! Made it so nice for two couples and kids traveling together. The washer and dryer in unit were a life saver. The condo has EVERYTHING you could possibly need and more. Bedding is so comfortable and cozy which was nice with the cold front we had to start our trip.

Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the ocean views, the easy beach access, and especially the convenience of the building amenities like the carts and nearby shops and restaurants. It’s also great to hear the layout worked well for your group and that the in-unit washer/dryer and bedding helped make the stay more comfortable - especially with the colder weather at the start of your trip. We’d love to host you again anytime! -Sands of Alabama Team
The host was welcoming and the communication was excellent. This condo provided everything U needed while at the beach. The kitchen made U feel like U were in your own kitchen it was very well stocked. The beds were comfortable. The balcony was Huge. The condo clean and very inviting

Loved the condo and the view . So beautiful. The only 2 minor issues were the sauna was not operational and the tub in the master bedroom leaked some water into the closet at the foot of the tub. As a result we were not able to take additional baths or use the whirlpool feature. Like I said overall my family and I loved the condo. God Bless

Thank you so much for the kind review! We're thrilled to hear your family had a wonderful stay at Island Tower and enjoyed the beachfront location. It’s great to know that check-in and communication went smoothly we always aim to make the process as easy as possible. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
The views were gorgeous- the place was clean. We were told no beach chairs were included so we brought ours but when we got there tge laundry room was packed full of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, and a large tent. They also said no hair dryers & there was one in every room. The main tv had a huge black strip down the center I sent a picture to host. Although i didn’t expect a new tv they never even replied to my text. Overall it was a nice place the location was great!

Thank you for your stay and for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the gorgeous views, found the home clean, and appreciated the location—that means a lot to us.
I do want to apologize for the confusion regarding the beach equipment and hair dryers. We aim to set clear expectations, and it’s obvious we missed the mark there. I’ll be updating our listing details so future guests have accurate information.
I’m also sorry about the issue with the main TV and, more importantly, that we didn’t respond to your message. That’s not the level of communication we strive for, and I understand how frustrating that must have been. We’re addressing this internally to make sure guest concerns are acknowledged and handled promptly moving forward.
Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve. We’d love the opportunity to host you again and provide an even better experience next time.
