Communication with owner was great. Check-in was getting the door code and walking in. Condo was big and roomy for my family of six. Kitchen facilities were good with the exception of pans that were old and food stuck on them. Wi-Fi was great, no problems with streaming. Location is a great area for walking to restarurants and retail. I was not impressed with the cleaning service. Dust collected on ceiling fans, behind couch and beds. Bedspread had stains. Wash closet and showers need deep cleaning. I will let owner know and I am sure he will get this taken care of.

Excellent place!!!

This condo and this unit are fantastic! I always like getting a corner unit! The size and number of beds in the 3 bedrooms fit us perfectly. Nice comfortable beds, nice furnishings, great amenities. The beach was beautiful and such great sand. The pool is really nice although we did not use it this time. The workout room has top-notch equipment and we used it one day. The owner ANDY was always there to help if needed, and very responsive. We are looking forward to next time!!! Thank you for providing a great place for our family!

Gulf Shores 2023

We have been coming to Gulf Shores for many years but this was our first time staying @ San Carlos. We loved it! The 3 fast elevators is a stark contrast to waiting & waiting for an elevator at other condominiums we've stayed at. The condo unit itself was very nice! We always love a corner unit so you can feel the continuous ocean breeze & there was plenty of seating. Will definitely be staying here again in the future.
