The unit was very clean and access to the beach was easy. However, there were no beach chairs, beach towels, etc. I messaged and was told to go across the street and rent chairs.

Beautifully decorated and very clean condo! It was nice that this was a low rise condo- allows you to get away from the crowds! A nice touch was that 2 beach chairs were available. Would definitely stay here again!
Everything was really nice. The unit was very clean, plenty of towels and starter supplies. There was only 3 of us so, lots of room to spread out. The pool was very clean. It is a very family oriented which is wonderful. The kitchen was stocked well. We truly enjoyed our stay and will consider coming back again.
Overall great! Clean, nicely decorated, great view

Everything was amazing except the ramp to the beach. He stepped of rhe wooden part with a load on to a peg rhat was sticking up, right side of the entrance to the blue. He has a chipped bone in his heel. Didn't report it as he thought it would go away.
When we arrived the view was amazing, house was nice, sand all in the floor and black stuff would come off the floor onto your feet. Master bedroom bed was terrible, every move you would make would wake the whole house because it was so noisy.
This was our first time to Gulf Shores and man what an experience. This property is looking directly at the ocean from the balcony and the views were stunning. I caught every sunrise while we were there with a coffee in hand. The quick walk to the beach made it easy for the family to bring what we needed with us without a far walk. The covered parking was a bonus, and the property itself is beautiful and had everything we needed for the week. It is in walking distance to a few places to eat. We didn’t even need our car the entire time we stayed. The only comment I have that dings the stay just a bit is the mattresses. As others have said, they do squeak very loudly. I’m a light sleeper and ended up having to buy earplugs so I could drown out the sound. Other than that, 10/10 trip and we will be back again. This is our new fall beach spot.
This location was perfect for a quiet family getaway without all of the hustle and bustle of most beach towns during Spring Break. Accommodations were fantastic!
This was a wonderful condo with plenty of room. Pool was great and loved that the beach chairs and umbrella are included with your rental. Makes enjoying the beach very easy!

Rest and relaxation
Enjoyed every minute of our stay the beach was right out the back. I love the fact we was on second floor not on the ground just up enough for great view but not to high, easy access to eating and shopping loved it
Wonderful stay at Tropic Isles! Kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need. Pool is very nice. Property is within walking distance to many dining options and shops.
Great property at Gulf Shores. Very clean and as advertised. Great location. Only thing we would recommend is having the cleaning supplies like paper towels, napkins and things like salt and pepper, coffee filters. 5 stars for our experience.
