Thank you for your review, Michelle! We're glad you spent quality time with your family and enjoyed the location and beautiful views from Island Tower 2203. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another memorable stay in the future!
The pics and online review of the condo were exact. The place was clean, comfortable and the A/C worked great. Great amenities. Perfect location. My kids and their friends had a great time. We are looking forward to our next trip to Gulf Shores and hope to stay here again.
This place was absolutely beautiful and amazing views! Check in and out process was super easy! Easy access to the beach and the pool had a cover spot to sit! The indoor pool was not open at the time we went. The parking garage is a little difficult and a tight squeeze! But overall everything was great! I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for reviewing your time with us.
Great place to rent. It was off season, so we knew we would be in the room a lot more than on the beach. We were perfectly comfortable sitting at the table and playing games, enjoying the tremendous view. Very clean, and the management leading company overseeing the property were extremely quick at addressing any questions or issues with the room. I would definitely rent this unit again, and the management group was very professional and prompt in communication.
The overall experience was good. I knew that there was construction going on with the property and that was clearly conveyed at the beginning of the process. I was a little disappointed that the railing had been removed from the balcony off of the room that my parents were staying in. But they were able to use the front balcony just fine. All in all, we would go back, just after the construction is completed.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this condo. The unit was clean, well-maintained, and in a great location. The amenities were nice, and we found the condo to be comfortable and inviting.The main downside was the mattresses. Unfortunately, they were quite worn and uncomfortable, which resulted in several nights of poor sleep. Updating the mattresses would make a significant difference in the overall guest experience.We also had an unpleasant experience with the parking permit process/security guard. We received two parking tickets on our rental car because the permit was not filled out completely. While we understand the need for parking enforcement, there was no pen or writing utensil available in the condo, making it difficult to complete the permit immediately. After receiving the first notice, and correcting the issue immediately, the security guard left another note on our vehicle saying it needed to be filled out in a marker??? The repeated warnings felt excessive and came across as more harassing than helpful.Despite these concerns, we enjoyed the condo itself and would consider staying again if the mattress situation and parking permit process were improved.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re very glad to hear you enjoyed the condo overall, found it clean, well-maintained, and appreciated the location and amenities.
That said, we’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced. We understand how important a comfortable night’s sleep is, and your comments regarding the mattresses have been noted and will be shared with the appropriate team for review. We also apologize for the frustration surrounding the parking permit process and the experience with enforcement. While parking rules are managed by the property/HOA, we understand how this impacted your stay, and we will pass your feedback along to them as well.
We truly appreciate your balanced review and your willingness to consider staying again. We’d love the opportunity to provide you with a smoother, more comfortable experience in the future.
The Condo was emasculate! We enjoyed the sunsets and sunrise from the balcony and we able to leave the sliders ajar and listen to the waves as we fell asleep. Only one elevator worked and one afternoon we had to take the stairs down because neither of the elevators worked. Having bad knees and a heart condition made this difficult. Overall a pleasurable experience.
