Let me start by saying that me, my daughter, and my mother stayed at your condo July 23rd through July 26th and it was wonderful. It was my daughters first trip to the beach and she was impressed. She is 5 and thought the bonus (bunk) room was the neatest thing. Before we left to come home we were already making plans to come back next year. The condo was nice and the furnishings were great. I left feeling like I got what I paid for, and some. I looked at lots of condos on line before choosing yours, and the decor is what sold me. I noticed you had a place in Orange Beach also. I've never understood why people took a week when they went on vacation but I do now. Three days is not enough time to do everything we wanted to do. Thanks to you and your wife for having such a wonderful place for us to come to and making our first vacation something we can look back on and look forward to each year. Owners note: Guest is true to herself...She has booked a week in July 2009.

We had a wonderful relaxing, fun time at your condo in Gulf Shores. It is truly the highlight of our year. Next year we are thinking of staying longer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Sincerely J&M Owner's note: We truly love our repeat guests!

We had a wonderful time at the Shrimp Festival and staying in your condo. After seeing the pictures of some of the others we chose this one and were not disappointed. This is the last vacation with just the two of us. Next time we'll be bringing our baby girl (due in Feb) with us. We love the view and hope to stay here again.

The condo is beautiful...the best we've stayed at! We were hesitant about the 18th floor, but the view was worth it! Emma's first trip to the beach & she had a blast. She loved all the pools, and the hot tubs too! Thank you for making a home away from home!
