Can't wait to go back!

This was my family's second stay in this condo and our third at GS Plantation. We love that it is several miles out of town so that it seems we almost have the beach to ourselves and we are away from the hustle and bustle. The condo itself is beautifully decorated and feels like home. We were able to pack much less this year because the condo already has so many of the things we need from a fully equipped kitchen, to numerous beach toys, beach chairs, coolers, kids' toys and books, paperbacks for the beach, games, and a laundry basket for carrying dirty clothes and towels to and from the laundry room! (And many, many more!) Lots of drawers in the bedrooms, hangers in the spacious closets, a pack and play, high chair and bed rails for little sleepers. So many comforts of home that are sometimes forgotten or impractical to pack. The best additions this year, in my opinion, are the fans in each bedroom! The property itself could not be nicer. Numerous outdoor pools and a hot tub, indoor pool and hot tub, super friendly staff everywhere, beautifully manicured grounds...I could go on and on. Let's not forget the beautiful beach!! My children and I found the best shells ever this year! Lambert's restaurant in Foley is not to be missed, and Skipper J Dolphin Cruises was a great and affordable treat this year. The worst part is waiting another year to go back!

Owner response:I am so happy that you and your family could make it back to stay with us again. Thank you for your helpful review and kind comments. Hope to have you back again next year.

We just left this condo yesterday and were so sorry to go. The listing for this unit is very accurate and the photos are exactly what you get when you arrive. The unit was sparkling clean when we checked in and is nicely modern. Semra was always wonderful about answering questions and did so cheerfully and quickly. The kitchen has everything you could need when preparing a meal. We were pleased to find two beach chairs, a cooler and beach toys in the storage closet which were very helpful to us in our beach outings. The beach was not crowded, we enjoyed being out away from the Gulf Shores traffic. Definitely stop in Gulf Shores for groceries, though there is a pretty well stocked Dollar General about eight miles up the road toward Gulf Shores. I would definitely recommend this unit to friends and family and I would not hesitate to stay here again. We drove out of Fort Morgan several days, one to go up to Alligator Alley, which was a fun experience. We enjoyed eating at the Shrimp Basket in Gulf Shores and while the Original Oyster House was kinda touristy with a gift shop, their food was good and you can get coupons for them and for many other attractions at the visitors centers. We stopped at the Orange Beach visitor center and got all the coupons and literature we needed. Can't wait to come back!

I had stayed previously last fall at the condo with my daughter and family. Was so impressed that I wanted to bring my husband back. We had a wonderful vacation here. The condo is beautifully furnished with all the dishes, pans, linens, etc that you will need. We loved walking on the beach for miles and felt like we had it all to ourselves. The Plantation is a wonderful private resort with everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Owner response:We were so happy to have you guys back again this Fall. Glad that you enjoyed your stay. We hope you can come back to stay with us again.

My family and I recently returned from a week long stay at this condo. It was absolutely beautiful and suited our family of 4 perfectly! The kitchen had everything that we needed to prepare our meals and then some! My daughters loved playing with the toys that were available in the condo as well as some of the beach toys! There was even a pack and play and high chair to use for my 15 month old which made packing so much easier for us! Semra was always very quick to respond to any question that I had and was very accommodating! I would definitely recommend this condo!!

Owner response:Glad to hear that despite a few days of rain you and your family had a wonderful time. So happy you found all of our baby things useful. I hope that you will be able to make it back again soon. Semra

My family and I have stayed at this condo two times now and it was great both times we stayed. We love everything about it. Plenty of toys for the kids to play with and love the thoughtfulness of allowing people to use the things they already have in the condo. We only had one issue but it was resolved very quickly and we greatly appreciated it. My family and I will be coming back to stay in this condo again. Thanks to Semra for all the help all the way around. She is so easy to work with and is quick about getting things done.

Owner response:We are so happy that you guys could make it back again this year. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we resolved the issue at the unit.Hope you had a safe trip home and can't wait for you to visit again next time.

We have just returned from our stay in this condo at Fort Morgan, and all were sad to leave. We had a phenomenal week, and the listing is 100% accurate....and even better. The owner was so responsive to all communication prior to arrival and during. Usually answered e-mail within a few hours (sometimes sooner). She has stocked the condo with all the extra details that makes a beach vacay perfect. Fully stocked kitchen (better than any other place I have stayed), lots of beach toys for the kiddos, bathrooms with extra storage and very clean too. The pull-out couch was perfect for our kids, and very comfortable. The furniture (particularly in the bedrooms) seemed newer and very clean/nice. The view from the balcony was pretty, and access to the pool and beach was easy and quick. Enjoyed all of the amenities that the resort offered such as free wireless internet, and the owner has great cable to include HBO and other movie channels (not that we spent much time watching t.v-- but at night the flat screens were great!). One of the nicer aspects is that it is on the top floor, and on somewhat of a corner. So, it was VERY quiet. We never were woken up by neighbors or nosey condo activity. It was so relaxing and peaceful. Overall, the Plantation itself was amazing as well. The pools are plenty and clean. Not too crowded either. The beach is beautiful and well maintained. It is a great place for families. We will definitely rent this unit again when we go to Fort Morgan! Thanks so much!!

Our family had a great time at the Plantation. This condo was clean, very well decorated and had everything we needed. There were sand toys, pool toys and even an umbrella. The kitchen was well stocked. Our little boys liked to look through the "new" toys in the condo as well. Although it is a popular place, the pool was not crowded as there are 6 or 7 pools on the property. The beach was also great and we could always find a place off to ourselves, but without walking a long distance. Across from the Plantation is a dock that our boys did fishing and crab hunting on. I think it was the highlight of the trip! Semra couldn't have been easier to deal with. She was very quick to respond and there were no surprises. She did a great job making sure we were comfortable and welcome. Thank you so much for the great vacation! We hope to be able to use your great condo again!

MY HUSBAND AND I SPENT 4 WEEKS HERE JAN18 -FEB 15. WE ENJOYED THIS CONDO VERY MUCH. IT WAS CLEAN ,ROOMY, AND THE VIEW OF THE OCEAN. THERE WAS MANY ACTIVITIES TO DO. WE NEVER WERE BORED. THE KITCHEN WAS FULL OF ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVE AT HOME. WE BOTH WENT SWIMMING AT THE POOL IN THE MORNING. WE HOPE TO COME BACK NEXT WINTER AND STAY AT THE SAME CONDO.

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend at the beach. The condo was great- just like the pictures - very roomy and comfortable. It felt like our home away from home. The condo had everything that we could possibly need. The owner was so easy to work with she felt just like family. I can't wait to take another beach vacation - we are definately coming back to this condo again! Thanks for everything.
