We have vacationed at GS Plantation for many years and this condo is one of the best! We especially enjoyed the gulf and bay views from two balconies. Another plus for us was the big dining table with 6 chairs. The washer/dryer was such a bonus for drying beach towels for 3 grandchildren. The owners are so great to work with. All questions were always answered promptly. We hope to enjoy this wonderful unit again on our next visit.

The condo had everything we could think of needing! It was very clean, and comfortable. The complex is family friendly, quiet and uncrowded. The owner is incredibly kind and worked with us. I have recommended this rental to all of my friends and family.

Owner response:Thank you for your comment. We try to work with everyone and want everyone to enjoy our place as much as we do.

GREAT CONDO FOR GRANDMA VACATIONING WITH DAUGHTER AND 3 GRANDKIDS

We loved the condo and it was convenient to everything at the resort. It was nice being in the building with the indoor pool because the kids like to go down in the evening before bedtime. Condo was tastefully decorated and just as pictured and described. Loved having washer and dryer in unit - we could pack lighter and do a load of clothes plus it was great for drying wet beach towels. I have been to Gulf Shores Plantation several times but this first time in this unit. I would recommend it to friends. Thanks for sharing it with us!

We went down to Gulf Shores for my nephew's 8th birthday. It was so much fun. Everyone in the complex was so friendly and welcoming. The condo was exactly like the pictures. This is a wonderful condo to rent and the owners were extremely helpful with all of our questions. We will definitely be back.

Had a Blast!

We just wanted to enjoy the whole family somewhere on the beach well this place was really a treat, it was 8 of us (two really small kids)! The condo was very comfortable, plenty of extra pillows so don't bring any like we did. We had the best weather you could ever have is July we opened all windows and doors and enjoyed a wonderful breeze when we were in the condo. Most of our time was spent on the beach or in one of the pools. We especially enjoyed the beach at night for hours the stars were so beautiful! The owner has the place stocked with almost everything you need! I would definitely return and tell other people about this place! You will not be disappointed!

This was our second year of reguesting this particular condo. It was such a pleasant stay the first time, we wanted to stay in the same place once again! The accomondation are clean and comfortable. The unit has everything you need from a well equipped kitchen, washer and dryer to a flat screen TV in the living room. The weather was wonderful as well as the amnentities of the plantation.

Beautiful Condo

Guest: Young Adults (Knoxville, TN, US)
Date of Stay: 08/10/08 Review Submitted: 08/25/08

I visited Gulf Shores in August with three of my friends and we had a wonderful time. The condo was beautiful and we had everything that we needed. It was the perfect amount of space for all four of us and we really enjoyed our stay. It was rainy the first half of the week and the indoor pool was great and very convenient. The complex had a zillion pools and they were all wonderful. The one right outside of our balcony was great. It was very big and never crowded. We loved the peace and quiet. Also, the owners have little notes everywhere telling you how to use different appliances and recommending places to go to eat. We will definitely look to rent this unit again.

Owner response:As owners and tenants as well, we strive to make our condo "the best" in every way possible. Thank you.

Our stay was wonderful. The owner is great to work with and has provided a wealth of information for your stay with a cork board and notes for everything from local entertainment to how to operate to TV. This unit is very nicely decorated and maintained. The washer and dryer in the unit is a stand out feature. The Plantation complex is the best around with activities and amenitites like no other. We will look again next year for this unit.

Great Condo

Date of Stay: 03/29/08 Review Submitted: 04/08/08

The owner of this condo takes great pride in their unit. You could tell by the amentities and the condition of the unit. This is one of the first times we have stayed at the plantation and not had major problems. The owner was quick to respond to our inquiries. The condo was clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies and beach supplies. We really enjoy the condo. We especially like Sea N Suds. Enjoy going there everytime we go to Gulf Shores. We also tried Cricos Pizza this time. Very good. We do think Mandoki does need to make some major improvements to the resort. We have come down every year since the hurricanes and the boardwalks are still a mess. When we first started coming down the hallways that were carpeted in Phase I were vacuumed every day. Not once did the outdoor hallways get vacuumed. The trash in the outside contatiners was overflowing.

Owner response:Thanks for the comment. We work hard to keep our unit up to date, well stocked and clean. I appreciate your telling me about the situation at the complex and I intend to notify those in charge to clean up their act. As for the boardwalks, we are striving to make them better. Again thank you for kind words about our unit.

This is a really nice location away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores. Very well manintained. We loved all the different pools, especially the indoor pool, since it was cooler than the others. The beach was beautiful and you didn't have to walk far from the boardwalk to find your own quiet spot on the beach. The new coffee/internet hot spot was a hit too.

My children and I had a great time!! The condo is clean and comfortable. I can see why it's called "Home Away From Home". The beach was even more beautiful than in the pictures on the website. Whether you want to just relax on the beach or participate in sports and other activities, this is the perfect vacation spot. My kids (14 & 16) each brought a friend, and I actually went an ENTIRE week without hearing. "I'm bored." That's a miracle!! In addition to the condo and the beach being so enjoyable, the owners, Margaret and Frank, are so pleasant to deal with. That's always a big plus!! I will DEFINITELY return in the future. I will also recommend it to all of my friends. This was one of the best vacations I've had in quite a while!!

We had a very nice stay in this condo. It is clean and comfortable, plus has all the extra amenities like TVs in both bedrooms. We love the Plantation to get away from the crowds. Only a few miles to many, many good restaurants too.

Very nice condo!! This condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The owner is a very good communicator and concerned about guests having a nice stay. The Plantation is especially nice if you want to avoid the crowds; however, it is only a short drive away from eating and shopping. There is plenty to do with the pools, tennis, baseketball, golf and of course the beautiful beach!! A+++ We will definitely request this condo for our next trip!! Thanks!!
