Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Compass PointShe bought this property for the beautiful surroundings and because it's very peaceful. Away from the crowds, yet a short walk to the beach. It has excellent water views from all over the condo.
The Unique Benefits at this CondoThere's always a nice breeze on the large "L" shaped balcony. It's very relaxing sitting on the balcony, by the outdoor pool, or even enjoy the views from the indoor pool in cooler weather. It's a very enjoyable here year-round.
One of my favorite restaurants in Gulf Shores. Great weekday lunch specials for around $6.00 including tea. http://www.desotosseafoodkitchen.com
Basic convenient store, save a trip and lines at Wal-Mart.
Nice "dive" like restaurant/bar. Great burgers and seafood with local flavor.

This is a corner unit which means you get a rap around balcony with the most beautiful sunset views imaginable. I am a photographer and got breath taking photos . Will definately stay here again. Beautiful inside and out. Beds very confortable and the condo was gleaming clean!! Pools were in excellent condition both indoor and outdoor .

I took some wonderful pictures of sun rises and sun sets on the gulf. On our next to last day there was a giant thunder head over Dauphin Island I got some great pictures of the lighting within the storm cloud. All these pictures of this giant storm and I was safe and dry on the balcony of the condo miles away. The sun rise after was spectacular, the old adage of red sky at morning salor take warning is so true. The trip was a blast and the condo was great as well. We look forward to a trip back in the future and hope to stay here again. Being raised in Mobile I am quite fond of sea food and my wife and I both love the Original Oyster House which was only a couple miles away. Thanks again for a great place to stay. If you are going to be in Gulf Shores check this condo out you will love it. Bill and Susan Nashville,TN

My family and I had the best relaxing stay in this condo. To wake up every morning looking out into the Little Lagoon water view was breath taking. The condo decor is so tasteful and has all the comforts of home. All the amenities were great and well maintain around the condo. The condo site is tuck away on a little alcove which makes it peaceful and private. Walking to the beach is an easy stroll with public access. We enjoyed every minute there and will return again next year.

Compass Point Gulf Shores Review

Review Submitted: 04/11/11
I was extremely pleased with the Compass Point condo. The pictures didn't lie. The view out the patio is that wonderful. The condo is very quiet, as is the complex. The condo was decorated nicely, very clean, and had all the ammenities for a pleasant stay, either one week or several. If you know the Gulf Shores area, you will know that Compass Point is not on the main beach road, which can be noisy and busy. I would definitely recommend this condo as a pleasant place for 1-4 people.

Very pleasant condo. Clean and everything you need. Wrap around deck was very nice, lending some privacy as it is an end unit. Convenient location. Would definitely use again.

This was out second time staying for Spring Break in this particular unit at Compass Point. We had a very enjoyable time. I can't say enough about the balcony, the views are postcard perfect! We can honestly say there is no other place we would rather stay in Gulf shores.

This condo was exactly what we were looking for. It was gorgeous and very close to the beach. It was very clean and well-kept. This condo was directly on the lagoon and was very peaceful and quiet. We will definitely be back as soon as we can; we miss it already!
