We had a great stay!!

The condo was just perfect! It was very spacious and updated. It was very clean and had everything we needed to have a wonderful 4 day stay! The pool was great, as always! We love having the option to fish off the piers, and the private beach access is just across the street. Even brought tennis racquets and played a bit. There's something for everyone here. Love, love, love it here and plan to come back.

Perfect getaway

We love stay at the GSSRC! We like to try new condos within this resort and we absolutely LOVED this one! It was the perfect space for our family. Our girls loved having their own beds, too! The kitchen had everything you needed to cook with. Rae was wonderful to work with as well. We will be back again!!

Gulf Shores

I was impressed overall. The only downfall I had was not being told ahead of time about washing towels, replenishing toilet paper and paper towels. Other than that, we had a great vacation and would love to rent this condo again in the future.

Excellent all around!!

Our experience with the condo and Rae the host was above and beyond! She communicated to us and fixed all of our problems in a timely manner; being that the AC wasn't working correctly and got the problem fixed immediately in this HOT august heat. We loved the location as we could enjoy both the Gulf Shores right across the road from condo, or even go down to Perdido Key, Florida as we did many times throughout our stay. Definitely was a fantastic vacation and would have loved to stayed forever!

great pool and easy access to beach and lagoon!

we really enjoyed the pool-it blocked some of the wind on the cooler days and made for a nice alternative. could see the kids from our unit too and keep an eye on them. This part of the beach is pretty narrow but still beautiful. would have liked to have had more flatware for eating in the unit - there was only 6 of each so we were having to wash every other meal. (4 of us). overall the building was not crowded and elevators are fast/updated. We enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed Mother's day weekend at 703B! The views were spectacular and we were so blessed by great weather for the beach. Thank you to the host(s), who were very responsive and accommodating, as our plans had to be adjusted slightly. We hope to stay here again, making more great memories in Gulf Shores!

Perfect for us!

My husband and I stayed here for 6 weeks. It was the perfect size and location for us. Loved being across from the white sand beach. On windy days we enjoyed the pool by the lagoon. We played pickleball several times too. There are so many good restaurants in the area but when we cooked I found that the kitchen was well stocked. Even though it was spring break it was quiet at night. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!!

About the host

Hosted by Rae Hovey

Host profile image
Gulf Shores has always been our favorite location for our family vacations! Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club became our favorite complex the first time we rented here 20 years ago. As Louisiana natives, we've spent countless summers in Gulf Shores and we couldn't imagine a summer going by without our annual trip to our favorite beach. We would love the opportunity to share our condo with you so you can make sunny, sandy beach memories of your own!

Why they chose this property

Best of both worlds with access to the lagoon and the beach!
Large tropical pool deck!
