GREAT PLACE TO STAY!! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION TO EVERYONE!!

The location was very clean and up to date. There are 8 of us in the family and each bedroom having its own bathroom was very nice and made it quick for everyone to get ready to go out at night. There aren't any chair and umbrella rentals on the beach in front of the condo but this wasn't an issue because we walked next door and rented them for the week. I would highly recommend this condo for larger families.

Nice place but glass shower door shattered

Nice place. Pretty clean and cute. The glass shower door shattered and caused a trip to the ER. Also, the patio door is difficult to open and close. Overall, I would recommend and stay here again.

Nice place to stay.

My only disappointment was the gym. The pictures were nothing like what it was. One rusty loud treadmill and a space air conditioner unit. Very hot and humid.

Nice place to stay and exactly as advertised

We were really happy with this property, and it is exactly how it was advertised. Really nice and updated on the inside. Being that it rained for most of our stay, we were inside quite a bit, but it is roomy enough to spread out. Would highly recommend and the communication with the property management team was great. They were super responsive. A couple of things to note, which didn't matter terribly to us, but the beach around this area is a little tight. As such, they don't allow anything like canopies (nothing bigger than 4x7). Again, just something I wish we would have known ahead of time so that we could have packed accordingly. you can go a few condos down though to set up. Also, no floats allowed in the pool. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again at this place!

2024 gulf shores trip

The condo was not ready at our check in time. The guy cleaning it was very rude to us. The condo was not very clean when we got in. Trash under the beds floors turned our feet black. Sand in the bed sheets and crumbs under a pillow on the bed. After emailing the owner several time we never did get a working code for the pool/ beach area. We ended up having to get one from another guest. Parking was an issue. The location is good and we had plenty of room for everyone. Having three bathrooms nice. For the price will look for other arrangements on our next visit.
