Wonderful

This property was clean and cozy, Perfect for my family of 5. The view was great from the master bedroom and balcony. We enjoyed the board games available to use, the closet full of sand toys, we didn’t even get ours out for the week (we actually ended up leaving our basket full of toys there). Overall wonderful condo!
Very pleasant. Apt was comfortable. But will request 3rd floor next time. Footsteps easily heard from floor above.

Not what I expected but an okay unit
Unit was okay. Needs to be updated. One plus, unit had a variety of utensils/cookware. It is definitely secluded. Not what I wanted and didn’t realize it was so far (15 miles) from the “city.” I didn’t realize there was not a washer and dryer in the apartment.
We came to Ft. Morgan to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary for the weekend. We hadn't been this for down the coast and really wanted to see it and find a nice, plus reasonable priced condo. We did! The condo was really nice and clean. Perfect for my family of four. Beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony and the master bedroom window. It was very relaxing just to sit on the balcony and have our coffee in the morning and enjoy an adult beverage in the evening before retiring. We enjoyed the 2 pools and spa, I couldn't pry my teens out of them, LOL. The condo had just about everything thing we needed. Plus beach toys and games to borrow. My teens were enjoying the board games believe it or not. So nice just to unplug for a bit and enjoy life with family. We loved our stay here and look forward to coming back in the near future.
We truly had the best experience. I booked this room back in January. Jaqueline was amazing from the very beginning. She happily answered all of my booking questions. I had a question this week about extending our stay, and she was very responsive. This condo is on the second floor. It has elevators that make unloading the car at arrival, and packing the car at departure, a much easier process. The view from the balcony and master bedroom is amazing. It was the perfect size for my family of 5. The kitchen had everything that we needed to cook. There is a little closet to the left of the entryway that has an adult beach chair, a child’s beach chair, a canopy tent, beach toys, etc.. I felt like it was truly stocked for a family to have whatever they need for a beach trip. The thing I love about The Plantation, is that you have everything you could possible want for a beach vacation right there. We did go into Gulf Shores a few nights, but it was so nice to unplug at The Plantation for a week. There are so many pools (indoor and outdoor), hot tubs, tennis and basketball area, etc.. the list could literally go on and on. I feel guilty for even putting this in the review, because it truly was such a wonderful stay, but my ONLY not-positive experience was when the 2nd shower was running, the master shower wasn’t as hot as I like for my water to be while showering. If the other shower wasn’t running, the master shower was plenty hot enough. Thank you so much for our stay!
Everything was great! Communication with host was good. We had a great trip! Plantation dunes is a great place! We love how safe and family friendly it is.
The experience was great, the manager went in great detail about the wonderful adventures before arrival, which made us familiar with the activities. Very easy to find and the other guest in different units was so friendly. We will definitely be visiting again. And there's lots of beach toys so we didn't have to buy any. Thanks for such a pleasant stay.
We had a great time! The property manager was excellent to work with. The location is at the end of the condos so the boardwalk to the beach was right there. Pool on the property was perfect for kids with large area of low depth and a separate pool was available for adults.
Place was in a great location. We loved it and will cone back!

On the beach
A few minutes walk to the beach was great. We had to wear socks as the floor was dirty and not clean when we arrived. The sheets need to be upgraded as they had pilling and uncomfortable in your skin. Had to pay to do laundry. For what we paid I thought it would be nicer than it was. Very outdated unit.
Wonderful place! Clean, comfortable for a family with teens. We swam in every pool! Beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked and the beach was gorgeous! We highly recommend making the trip to Fort Morgan too!
The property was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The proximity to the beach was amazing. The recliner could use an upgrade but all in all great place to stay. Would definitely book again!
loved the property! The balcony, although small does give you a great side view of the water. BEAUTIFUL sunsets every night. Absolutely recommend and hope to come back!! Communication with owner quick and easy!
From the pictures I thought it'd be kinda dinky, but it was much better in person. The beds were comfy and the showers had good water pressure. The balcony had a great view. The condo had lots of beach supplies, but no wagon. The dishwasher was not unloaded, but that is my only complaint. There was construction going on which I wasn't told about until closer to my stay. I can't wait to visit when the resort is fully rebuilt.
The property was amazing .. expected to walk across street to beach but the pier was right in the parking lot! We would load our wagon (I do suggest a beach wagon) and head to beach daily. Out door pool was very nice felt like a sauna. The condo it’s self was great! Could use some updating but let’s be real your not there much anyway if you doing the beach life right! We had a blast and are already trying to rebook for next year!!! The communication was by far amazing!!
We have stayed at Gulf Shores Plantation for several years now, with this being our first time in this condo. The condo was stocked with everything we needed, including extra beach chairs and floats. Will definitely be back!
Me and my daughters went on a 10 day vacation, and stayed in this condo. It was an amazing time! We didn’t do much but enjoy the beach and pools, but we had a great time! The property is quiet and clean and security checks the property throughout the day and night! Will definatly stay here again!
Short walk to beach with Lots of parking
Plenty house hold items pots pans utensils
and lots of storage for bags and beach items

About the host

Why they chose this property
We've been vacationing at Gulf Shore Plantation for at least a decade before the opportunity to buy our condo occurred. We will continue to vacation at the plantation for its privacy and seclusion. The miles of gorgeous beaches and the clear water are also a plus. The tennis courts are something we also frequently take advantage of.
What makes this property unique
This property has plenty of beach. So, even in the the middle of the summer you don't feel overcrowded. There is also a family friendly atmosphere that is associated with Gulf Shore's Plantations. And as previously mentioned our condo association provides you with exclusive access to the indoor pool and tennis courts.
