Thank you so much for your review. We are happy that you were pleased with the condo and had a great vacation. We would love it if you choose to come again!
Excellent place! The condo was clean and as advertised. Absolutely great views from all rooms. The host was responsive to all questions before and during stay (very nice). The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking/eating utensils and appliances including keurig and coffee pot. We will come back!!! Don’t hesitate with this place! Suggestions:Provide instructions for the TV(particularly the living room - it had three remotes with no clear understanding of how to use).The jetted tub in the master bath needs servicing (fill it up to see what I mean). Consider replacing the beach chairs/umbrellas; their best days are behind them.Let guests know there will be someone there to greet them. That was a surprise when we walked in.

We appreciate your response. Thank you for your feedback. We want to provide a positive experience and any suggestions are welcome. We typically try to replace the chairs each spring and will take care of that. As far as someone being there to greet you, I can't imagine who that would have been unless it was the housekeeping inspector, and they generally try to inspect before the guest arrival time.
Place was perfect location for us, had all the necessary amenities to stay with chairs and umbrella to spend time at the beach. HConnie was very responsive and thoughtful in making sure we knew about holiday fireworks during our stay. Would stay here again.
Amazing location and property! We have been coming down to Gulf Shores for 5 years now, and this is the one that we will book every year. Property Manager was fantastic to work with and everything about the place lived up to the great reviews.

We had an amazing time. The view alone makes this one of my favorite places we’ve visited. The host was always responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The location can’t be beat. Super convenient to all the shops and restaurants. We will definitely book again in the future.

Excellent views, great location, conveniences nearby quiet. Could have used more hand towels, and we would’ve liked the heated outdoor pool.

Thank you for your review. I will forward your comments to my housekeeping supervisor regarding not enough hand towels. As for the pool - I don’t know of a place with a heated outdoor pool. We do, however, have a heated indoor pool.
Really enjoyed our family trip in this property. The view is remarkable, and the location also fantastic. Condo is well furnished and clean as can be, super comfy beds. We hope to be able to stay here again.
The views from this property were outstanding! Location was good. Overall a great place to stay.

About the host
Hosted by Connie Vowell & Kristy Christian
We visited Gulf Shores for the 1st time in September of 2012, fell in love with the area and decided to purchase the condo.
Why they chose this property
We like great central location and the fact that the area is not so commercialized. The amazing views from both the front and back of this particular condo put the icing on the cake!!
What makes this property unique
This building is structured so that each floor has only 3 units (65 total in building), with 2 high-speed elevators, so there is not a feeling of ever being crowded.
