We have the best vacations at the Condo! What a wonderful nights sleep listening to the waves crash just outside the balcony door. Getting up in the morning with the Ocean sounds and views everywhere you look, cooking breakfast only to look out the wall of windows and see dolphins jumping! Dining on the balcony or at the beautiful glass top table looking at the Gulf the whole time. Pelicans and seagulls fly right by the window, you are right at there flight level since you're on the 21st floor! It is the ultimate relaxation vacation, every time we leave, we just can't wait to return. Days spent laying on the beach, playing in the water, swimming in the beach side pool, evenings spent shopping at the great nearby shops, dining at the wonderful resturants, and ending the day walking on the beach. We love every minute of it and will return again and again. The condo is breathtaking and so comfortable. Very family friendly in all the accommodations and you feel like you are home when you are there! We can cook in the beautiful fully equiped kitchen if we choose to, we usually do for breakfast and a quick lunch, and we can do our laundry right there in the condo, that is wonderful! We like to do our laundry daily so when we get back home, we only have one days laundry instead of a weeks worth piled up! The condo is decorated beautifully with a wonderful touch of personality by the owners, the Jukebox is a great hit with the kids, (okay, the adults too!) Another favorite is the Jacuzzi in the Master bath! If you are looking for a great vacation with an unbeatable view and 5 star accommodations, you have just found it!

I stayed at this condo last summer for the first time and it was the most wonderful vacation my family and I have ever taken. We drove from Missouri and spent 7 days and nights lounging on the beach and enjoying all the sights. The best part of all though was the beautiful condo that we were able to stay at. It is roomy, clean and so luxurious. We felt like royalty when we stepped into the condo. The views are spectacular and the time we spent on the balcony was breathtaking. So private and secluded yet right in the middle of it all. You have to be there to appreciate this one. We hope to go back again someday! Rose Jones and Family

My husband and I spent several days at your condo in 2006 and had an incredible time. The décor was enchanting however we felt very comfortable and found everything to be more than adequate. We enjoyed the privacy that came from towering above all the units around us which made it possible to have the most magnificent panoramic view from the huge tinted windows. We especially found the Jukebox delightful when we were inside. We were unable to come to a decision which was the most mesmerizing, the fantastic views of the extravagant sunrise and sunset or the glittery sand and dazzling waters reflecting in the soft warm glow of the moon or equally spectacular the shimmering night lights of the city. No other building in Gulf Shores could provide all of this from the same dwelling. The early morning walks looking for shells on the beach were exhilarating. We were so relaxed at times we didn’t want to leave the condo but decided to lounge on one of the balconies with a glass of cold ice tea, basking in the beauty of the picturesque scenery listening to the water gently splash the shore with the chattering of dolphins and sea gulls. One of our fondest memories which we will always treasure is seeing the pod of dolphins with baby calves leaping with such grace and freedom as if to touch the sky. What beautiful mammals. It doesn’t get much better than that. With anticipation we look forward to our next stay and definitely will choose your condo. Thanks for providing a clean, warm and welcoming atmosphere during our stay at Gulf Shores. It was more than we hoped for!

What a awesome place! Wonderful view with spectular sunsets. So relaxing and enjoyable to sit on the patio, enjoy your morning coffee and watch the dolphins. So many personal efforts you are made to feel welcome and right at home. Hope to return again soon.

Wonderful condo! Unbelieveable views that are unobstructed as you are high atop the tallest building around. Great floor plan with all the comforts of being at home. Breath taking sunsets! Watch dolphins swimming out of your windows! As good as it gets, and I keep returning every chance I get! I can't say enough!

I have been visiting Gulf Shores for the last 10 years and this condo is the most beautiful condo I have stayed in yet. It is on the 21st floor and we watched dolphins everyday from the balcony our last visit. The appliances and bedding are new, every bedroom has a balcony and you have a view of the whole west half of the island from the balconies. It is a very fun and enjoyable stay.
