Great Family Vacation
Great Family Vacation

Joe and Evelyn's condo and Gulf Shores Plantations are wonderful! We had a great family vacation. The condo is very well maintained, clean, and nicely stocked. The view from the balcony was great especially the sunsets. The beach was also great, very clean white sands. This is a wonderful place for couples and familys to stay. I would recommend it. A couple of the local things we did was eat at Original Oyster House (go when lunch menu is available if you can), and went bike riding in Gulf Shores St Park on the paved trails (very nice). Other than that, we just mostly enjoyed the beach since the weather was so great.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

Joe and Evelyn, THANK YOU for the best vacation Kathy and I have had EVER!! Ladies and gentlemen you cannot and will not get any better service from a VRBO owner! Joe and Evelyn were absolutely wonderful to work with and their property was everything they stated and more!! We had the privilege of being one of the last renters of their SunSuite and could not have asked for anything better! The complex is easy to get around and since we already live 12 miles from town the trip into Gulf Shores was nothing. The road is great and it takes no time at all! The peace and solitude of this resort is WELL WORTH the trip into town. We went in every day to eat and speaking of which DO NOT MISS "The Shrimp Basket" in front of the purple octopus souvenir shop. All food was fresh and hot! We will definitely be using this owner for any family trips when the 2 bdrm is needed. You will have one of the best times ever at this resort and working with these owners! Once again on behalf of Kathy and I: THANK YOU!!!!! AndyRecommended for: Girls getaway, people with disabilities, families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for such a wonderful and thorough write-up of our condo. Joe and Evelyn

We just returned from a wonderful stay in the 2 bedroom/2 bath condo. It was very well stocked and met all our expectations. I was there with my daughter and her husband and two children and we had plenty of room. We enjoyed the beach very much and all the views from the patio are very accurate. Thanks again for a wonderful stay in a well stocked condo....Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+.
Owner response: Hi Jo: It is our pleasure to have such nice people stay in our condo. Also, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to write those nice words. Thanks again, Joe and Evelyn

My husband and I really enjoyed our week long stay last week. Great weather and the condo was so well furnished it felt like home. We had everything we needed right there waiting for us. We cooked most meals there after shopping at Wal-Mart located a short ride from the property. We had everything we needed to prepare our meals. No problems at all finding a grill outside to use. Highly recommend going on a charter fishing trip as we caught our limit of fish when we went out. Great Mexican restaurant, pizza and grocery store all in one stop right down the road towards the Fort. Go eat at Oceans it's awesome. Take the ferry over to Dauphin Island and hunt for sea shells there are tons of them over there at the beach. We went to Pensacola a couple of days and went to the light house on the Naval Air Station. A must to go do but wear good shoes as it 177 spiral steps to the top. Don't even bother going to the Flora Bama, hokey, dirty dive that I wouldn't dare eat at. Hang out on the beach and enjoy the sand and sun. We sure did.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, romantic getaway.
Owner response: We would like to thank you for taking the time to write wonderful words about our sunsuite and the locations to visit. We will always try to keep it as it is and help our customers have a great time at the beach and to feel at home as much as possible. Again, thank you very much. Joe and Evelyn

We just returned from a relaxing week here. This is the second time my husband and I have stayed in the Sunsuite, we loved our stay three years ago and wanted to return. Very clean, everything we needed was available. The owners sent us all the information we needed. They called to check and make sure we found everything ok. They are easy to contact, you will enjoy your vacation here. Sure wish we could go more often. Oh, forgot to mention we only saw two pea size tar balls the entire week ! Gulf Shores is BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.

The listing is accurate and the photos reflect the 2-bedroom unit. It is very comfortable and affordable. We stayed in the unit for 2 winters. The owners made sure everything was clean and in working order. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with utensils, good quality baking pans and cooking pots/pans. The kitchen has a new stove, fridge. The property is well maintained, staff is friendly, pool was warm. The owners are very easy to reach both by phone and email, and were always quick to answer any question. We enjoyed the private, gated property...the next complex is 1 mile away to the east, and about 7 miles away to the west. Very quiet and secluded, but is only about 20 minutes to Gulf Shores where there are plenty of restaurants, theaters, outlet malls, etc. Must-see attractions are the local zoo, Bellingrath Gardens near Mobile, Naval Museum in Pensacola, Pitcher Plant Bog on the way to Fairhope, and all the local Mardi Gras Parades.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.
