This condo was a perfect place for a relaxing trip to Gulf Shores. There is an excellent view of the beach with a great balcony to enjoy it with breakfast. The host was very responsive, even bringing a new keurig to us when we found out the one there was broken. It was also located perfectly on the beach since it’s the last condo before the state park. Far enough from the majority of people on the beach and close enough for easy access to restaurants.

Had the best time staying here! Place had everything we needed and location was fantastic. Everything was clean and so comfortable. Probably the best pillows I've ever had at a rental. Kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we needed and best part is their cookware was great quality to cook with - usually a big pain using others stuff when traveling. Our host, Rick, was in close contact for every little question we had and was incredibly accommodating when we wanted to check on extended our stay. 10 stars, if I could give it. Will definitely keep their locations on easy access for our future stays!

It was a beautiful location, when we had questions, we were able to contact Rick directly and get answers right away. It was a relaxing apartment, clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time on the deck watching the ocean where my wife knitted and listened to audio books. Both of us enjoyed our stay very much.
