This was my second time to stay at the San Carlos condominiums, and both visits have been spectacular. We went down for a long weekend, and the location of the condo is great for walking to restaurants and shops. This condo was clean and comfortable, and we would consider staying there again.
It was a great place to stay and relax. Beach access, pool access and exercise room nearby. Condo was clean, offered amenities with full kitchen and beds were comfortable too.
checkin process was seamless, area was great, excellent view. condo was clean and great amenities. quick elevators too, never waited long. Would absolutely stay again.
Great location in the heart of Gulf Shores beachfront area. Within walking distance to the area hotspots. You would never have to move your car unless you wished to venture to other areas.
Condo was nice and spacious for our group. Building has 3 elevators, no issue being on 16th floor. Property clean and well maintained. Definitely plan to stay here again!
We had a great stay in the condo! We had plenty of room for the 5 of us and never felt crowded. Kitchen was well stocked, balcony was great for watching dolphins with morning coffee. Pool was cold, not the owners fault.
We stayed here for a long weekend and loved it!!!
The location is perfect! We could walk to plenty of restaurants anything that we forgot or needed the store across the street (pricier but convenient). The building and grounds were always clean through the entire stay. The room was very clean when we arrived and it’s decorated beautifully. We enjoyed our long weekend stay and hope to stay here again soon!
My mother, sister, niece and I decided on a quick getaway Labor Day weekend. I was lucky enough to find San Carlos and condo 1608. It was beautiful, so clean, and in the perfect location. Would love to stay again!
Just check out from a wonderful week! This condo has everything you will need for a great vacation. It was clean, comfortable beds, spacious, great view! Walking distance to many great restaurants and the main intersection with souvenir shops. Will definitely be back.
Loved the location. The walk to the beach was easy. The condo was nice and clean. We booked thru Vacasa that charged a 50.00 parking pass for each car . That was a little much in my opinion.

Hello, Robia. We appreciate your feedback and sincerely regret if there was anything about the parking pass pricing that you did not find satisfactory. We value your opinions. We hope to host you for another great stay soon!
Stayed for the first time at San Carlos. It was beautiful, clean and everything described was perfect. The building manager was magnificent and even our neighbors were oh so friendly! We will be back, for sure.

Overall the condo was very nice and so was the view. If I had any comments it would be that you need comforters or better blankets for the beds. We ended up having to buy blankets at the store because they have less then even what a hotel has. I would also suggest adding plastic cups just because glass is risky and broken easily. There are no salt and pepper shakers and the little things you'd want to have if you are eating in. The other major complaint is that this condo does not have beach chairs that come with the condo and you have to pay to rent them which is $40 for day one and then $30 per day after that. It adds up. If these things were corrected I would definetly stay here every year for our beach trips.

Jennifer, thank you for sharing your experience, we're delighted that you thought our home was nice and that you enjoyed the view! That said, we apologize for the issues that detracted a bit from your stay and we shared your comments with the local manager. They assured us that they talked to the homeowner about adding some additional blankets and comforters for the beds. Also, they will ensure that there are some plastic cups in the home. To clarify, beach chairs are not a listed amenity for this home and we regret any misunderstanding. We hope you will allow us the chance to provide you with a truly exceptional vacation experience in the future.
