We absolutely love this condo! We’ve stayed here a few times a year for several years. Such a convenient location, beaches are not overcrowded due to the size of the complex. It is always clean & nice. We love the beautiful deck with the gorgeous views! We will continue to make this place our little home away from home for years to come!

A Good Time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay in this very nicely decorated and furnished condo. It was great to have a full sized coffee pot with an option to use a pod for individual cups also. A very nice air fryer was available too. The rental was clean with ample linens and towels. It was located next a boardwalk to the beach that was helpful for people who have trouble walking in the sand. A good time was had by all.

We enjoyed our stay so much we extended our time there! Having king beds in both rooms and two full bathrooms is excellent. The leather living room furniture does not hold odours or stains so really liked that. The balcony has a couple of great glider rockers we enjoyed sitting on and enjoying the beach view and sun. Would definitely go back!

Perfect for 2 couples or family of 4

This is the best rental property I have stayed at by far! Condo was clean, comfortable and updated. Beach access was easy and the pool was right on the beach. The balcony can be accessed from either the living room or master bedroom and has plenty of seating and views of the beach. Beach and pool both had code access as well as the front door which made it easy to not have to carry keys or cards when you’re out! There were plenty of kitchen pots/pans/utensils/glasses and enough cleaning supplies and towels but be sure to bring beach towels, extra rolls of tp and garbage bags as the fine print suggests.

Worked for us

We enjoyed our stay. Condo was clean and as advertised. Towels and linens were clean. Loved the balcony, even though it’s a side view, it was still a great view. Very short walk to the beach. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Only complaints were: Need larger skillets; the cable went out at midnight the first night, but was back on the next morning (no storms, never really got an explanation for that, but it didn’t happen again); the hot water in the shower only lasted 5 minutes, then the water would switch to lukewarm EVERY SINGLE TIME; the tvs are smart tvs, but access to those functions are blocked; the tv in the second bedroom has the cable box behind the tv, so we never could get the remote to work (it’s set up the same way in the main bedroom but the remote worked fine in there). Overall, we would stay here again though.

Just Okay

The location is stellar. Located right on the beach with an amazing view of the water. There are a lot of restaurants and shopping nearby and even within walking distance. In addition, the wifi is very strong. Our PlayStation, laptop, tablet, and phones were all connected with a very strong and fast connection. However, the condo itself wasn't that great. The furniture was stained. And the pillows were also stained, which was gross. In addition, the towels and linens appeared to be clean, but they were paper thin (cheap quality) and contained holes. The outside balcony was filthy. The chairs were cheap plastic and really dirty. The tables were heavier, but also very dirty and not well kept. We were unable to use the balcony that much due to the furniture and filth of the floor. If you were out there, your feet would be black with dirt. Also, the toilet brushes in the bathrooms were in plain sight and just disgusting. No way could something like that clean anything. I almost threw them out so we wouldn't have to see them, but thought I may be fined for it. A fresh coat of paint with non stained furniture would go a long way for this condo. I'm probably being more harsh since my sister and her family rented a condo in this building for less per night and way higher quality.

Hi Tracy! It is no doubt our condos have been highly utilized this past season with all the reservations. We have tried to get every condo deep cleaned but with staffing issues, it's been nearly impossible to get them all. Our housekeeping team would've been more than happy to come out and address any issues had we been contacted upon your arrival. We are so sorry to hear you did have some. Each owner chooses their own furniture and decor but we will definitely pass your suggestion along about replacing the balcony furniture and new paint. We hope you choose Gulf Shores Rentals again as we have a lot of properties available along our beautiful beaches. -Gulf Shores Rentals

Good but not great

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo experience could have been better. Neither bathroom had outlets that worked - I had to go to Walmart & buy a 12 foot extension cord to use for my hairdryer & flat iron. In the 1st bathroom when you enter the condo the shower would not shut completely off & hissed 24 hrs a day. We had 6 people with 2 Rolls of 1 ply bath tissue, one roll of cheap paper towels, two tiny bars of hotel type soap & a cheap tiny bottle of dishing liquid. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m tired of paying premium prices for nothing. They also informed us we had to bring our own beach towels! We found dirty dishes in the cabinet & some dirty silverware. The condo was decorated cute & most of it was clean. We were given the wrong code for the gates to the pool & beach access but one of the owners gave us his code before the property manager got back to us. We loved the chairs on the balcony & the view was really good even though it was a side view. The kids had a great time & that’s what we were concerned about. I don’t think I would rent this unit again for the price we paid. We work hard for our money and expected more. These type of rentals will not give any type of refund for the inconveniences.
