My husband, mother and dad, and I went to Gulf Shores in mid-July 2011. We found this condo info on VRBO and feel in love with it sight unseen! We started working with Brett to finalize our plans. Brett was so easy to work with and when we arrived at the beach, everything was just as beautiful as the property description indicates...maybe even more! The views from this unit are spectacular! We even caught a twister on camera over in the State Park from our balcony! There are stunning views on both sides of the condo, and of course, we had several dolphin sightings while we were there. We loved the Keyless entry...but I hesitate to rave too much, because we don't want this unit booked everytime we try to book it for ourselves! Seriously, you will not be disappointed to rent the Freebird! We plan to return the summer of 2012!

I was needing a place to stay while my mother went for her cancer check up, I emailed about the property and Brett responded very quickly and with these pictures what girl could say no, right? It even gets better how easy he was to work with and when I arrived it was so comfortable there! I needed a place to relax and this was the perfect place! I lived in Gulf Shores years ago so knew most everything about it, I didn't realize something so beautiful could come through the windows, it is the best view on the gulf in my opinion. If you are debating between places to stay STOP and rent this beauty, you will not regret it ! Brett, I really appreciate how easy you were to work with and would not even question where I will stay on my next visit there! This could not have been a better visit and got great news about my mother too! Thank you again and you own a real diamond there! I could never say thank you enough !

This condo is a great place to stay. The view was amazing. We would sit on the balcony in the mornings and watch the dolphins. Everything was just as it was pictured and it was very clean. Thanks to Brett for working with us and letting us enjoy their beachfront home.

This Condo was the perfect place for our Family vacation. The view was amazing and we loved sitting on the balcony in the morning! There was several mornings that we saw dolphins playing and swimming right in front of the condo. It was very neat and clean and had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning. The kids say they want to make it a yearly visit! It looks like we will be returning!

what a fantastic condo. to stay in! brett worked with us in 2010 when we couldn't come down, and was very accomodating to us for our 2011 stay. the condo. is beautifully furnished, has the best views anywhere, and you awaken to a gorgous sunrise every morning. i recommend that everyone try to stay here; brett is wonderful to work with & does everything he can to make your stay a comfortable as possible. the keyless entry is especially nice; you don't have to keep up with a key! you will not be dissappointed with your stay at the freebird!

Looking for a condo rental for 4 adults and 5 kids was a huge task. We were so thankful to have found Brett's condo in Gulf Shores. The condo itself was immaculate. Tastefully decorated and such a homey feeling. We enjoyed cooking each night and taking to the beach or local attractions during the day. Brett was an absolute pleasure to work with (always so nice and kind on the phone and in emails). Was there enough room for all of us??? Absolutely.. It was girls and kids week(end). Plenty of room in the condo and balcony for all. As I think about our beautiful vacation, I am considering another trip to the Gulf this fall for my sons Fall Break! Thank you Brett for a great place to stay and working with us (that pesky door!) LOL.. Oh and the view was AMAZING. I was up almost every morning for sunrise and once my son (6yrs old) realized the beauty of the beach at 0700, he was too!
Owner response:You are so right, the view is awesome and i also find my self getting up to see it when i can... (then go back to sleep.. :-} ) And those pesky screen doors are magnets for things! those things happen. The new balcony furniture will be in soon and will be waiting for your return.

A huge thank you to Brett and his attention to our family during our stay! The view was gorgeous and the location is prime. If there was ever a question or concern, Brett was there to answer....he even mailed my son's "blankie" we left there! Thanks again for a great week.

Just returned from our vacation in Gulf Shores. This condo is so perfect. Everything anyone would need is there. Most comtortable beds, beautiful furnishings, bathroom for each bedroom. Everything was very clean and well maintained. View from balcony and dining room window was just breath taking. You can see all the way up the beach on the east side. The living room was very relaxing if you wanted to just stay in and watch some tv on the large 50" screen. Everything is just as it is listed. We could sit on the balony and watch the dolphins. Brett called after we got there to check and see if everything was okay. That was the first time we ever had a owner do that. It was very nice and thoughtful. I have stayed in several condos in Gulf Shores and I would have to say this is the best of all them. Thanks so much Brett.

We LOVED our stay in this unit!! The property was perfect for us, our friends, and their two kids. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable and leaving the balcony door open at night to listen to the waves was perfect! Brett was so easy to work with and helpful throughout the entire process. The condo was exactly as pictured... and we loved the perks of having a bathroom for each bedroom and having a washer and dryer! The beach chairs and sand toys were a nice touch as well, as it saved us the $25 it costs to rent chairs on the beach daily! (And I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to lounge on the beach and swim in the ocean in March!!) The views from the balcony were awesome. I could sit in the lounge chair and see nothing but blue water... and the dolphins were very active in the mornings! I wouldn't have traded that balcony and view for anything!! Thanks again, Brett, for everything!! Everything about our vacation was perfect... except the fact that we had to come home! :) Oh, by the way, eat at DeSoto's! Best food (and most reasonably priced) out of all our meals in Gulf Shores!
