The Space:

Sitting directly on the Gulf of Mexico, this vibrant getaway is ready to be your next home away from home in Gulf Shores!

The well-equipped, full kitchen comes with all the appliances and other gear you need to prepare cost-saving meals at home.

Dine together at the breakfast bar or the nearby table for six.

Then settle into the furnished, colorful living area complete with updated ceiling fans, new leather power recliners for optimum comfort, and a new 65-inch TV for viewing.

Also, new bedding and rugs feature a fun beach theme and inspiring colors that enhance a bright and open floor plan with floor-to-ceiling windows.



Instantly slip into vacation mode when you cast your eyes over the adjacent beach and the Gulf, all visible from your furnished balcony.

The Polywood round deck table and four swivel chairs are new and perfect for spending time on the large deck.



On hot, sunny days, lounge by the pool or cross over the boardwalk to get your toes in the sand. An outdoor shower adds convenience.

Additional on-site amenities include a fitness room, a sauna, and a conference room.



Drive just one mile west to visit downtown Gulf Shores where you will find a variety of dining options for all tastes. Highway 59 is home to an array of family-friendly options and activities that include the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, The Track, The Park at OWA, and more! If you're looking for outdoor adventures, be sure to visit Gulf State Park for multiple trails and other outdoor activities.

Perfect for a family of 5

The master room bed slept two adults and one child. The second room had two full beds. The beds were very comfortable but were a little crowded for two adults to share a bed. Very clean and thoughtfully decorated and stocked. Would stay here again!

Colorful Comfort

I have come to this exact condo for several years now, it is my favorite! It is so colorful, tropical and comfortable. Love the location, floor plan, the wonderful jacuzzi tub in master bedroon and the 5th floor ocean views from master and the living room! Vacasa was great with all texts needed and door codes and care for our satisfaction.

Great location and beautiful views

Simple things would move this review to a 5. No hairdryer, no seasonings, not even salt or pepper. No beach towels and very limited garbage bags. These conveniences make staying in a rental condo easier. The condo was cute and very clean for a beach property.

Spring getaway

The condo was spacious and colorful. We enjoyed the central location of the 5th floor condo. We didn't usually wait very long for an elevator. The biggest negative is the parking. It's a big complex and there is not enough parking. They have overflow parking across the street but you have to cross a 4 lane road to get back to the complex. Definitely recommend the Pink Pony restaurant. It's a relatively short walk from the condo.
