  This condo is amazing. Beautiful views, very spacious and clean. The owner is very nice and responds promptly to emails. Me and my family loved it. Right next to sea n suds restaurant within walking distance. Great little restaurant with reasonable prices. Hopefully we will be back and I will book this room. I could live here!!!

  If I had the option, I would give this property a "Good and a half" on the rating. I'll get the downfalls out of the way first. The two guest bedroom beds made all kinds of noise, and the master bedroom mattress has some serious sag issues although we all did get "used" to it. The master bedroom doorknob kept locking on it's own, so we had to go out to the balcony to access the room. The refridgerator probably needs replaced. I have "overloaded" fridges on other trips, and this one was the worst(bring some ice for the first couple of days). To confirm other reviews, the carpet is soiled/stained, but did not bother us. We did all agree that it should all be tile though. I know, not a good start to a review, but we would all stay here again in a heartbeat. The condo setup is nice and easy to access. From our view, one of the very few condos that had a boardwalk to the beach. The condo was very roomy and the balcony was big enough to fit our needs. Excellent view of the beach, and being up that high, when you look out the doors, all you see is water. There are a handful of restaurants within walking distance, but most are a short 1-1 1/2 mile drive. Tidy up on the short list of downfalls, and this property gets a 5 star everytime.

  We just returned from our week in Gulf Shores and the San Carlos 1205. We LOVED it! The condo is great! It is the perfect size for our family (3 kids). The beds were so comfortable, I slept better there then I do at home! The balcony has a great view and we spent a great deal of time out there. The location is ideal! We walked to dinner, shopping, everything! It was so convenient to not have to take the car everywhere because parking can be tricky in Gulf Shores. The owners were great to work with, very professional. We have stayed in other places in Gulf Shores and we like the San Carlos the best so far. 1205 is a perfect condo, clean, comfortable beds, great location, the beach was AWESOME, the pool was nice. It was a great family vacation. Thanks to the Patterson family!

  Owner response: Thanks for your comments and hope to have you and your family back in the future.

  The beach was beautiful and there was a FANTASTIC ocean view from the large balcony. The condo was within walking distance to many places however, with small children in tow, we did drive most places. As the previous reviewer posted, the coffee table was STILL broken and the master toilet needed to be fixed. I did notify the owner and they offered to send maintenance out to fix it, but we preferred not to be bothered on our vacation and moved the broken items out of the way of the children. My brother-in-law and his wife stayed in the master bedroom and they said it was nice. My husband and I stayed in one of the other bedrooms and the bed was very noisy and maybe broken on one side? We had to pull the mattress off of the box spring onto the floor so we could get some sleep. The mattress was fine, but they really need to purchase new box springs for both of the smaller bedrooms. I checked out the bed that the kids slept on and it too was noisy. Like all other reviews, the carpet does need to be cleaned/replaced. The washer would only work on the whites cycle, but that dryer was awesome. We never could get the internet to work. We could access the router, but it provided no internet connection. I told the owner about this, but did not receive a resolution to the problem. I tried to hunt down the router in the condo to fix it myself (I work in IT), but I couldn’t find it. We ended up using the internet services from a neighboring condo. Overall, I would recommend this condo to others. It has the potential to be an awesome condo. It just needs some work done.

  Nice condo in San Carlos hi-rise. Beautiful beach. Great ocean view from balcony. Walking distance to many places. The coffee table was broken and the master toilet needed to be fixed. There was a note saying they would come by and fix it but never showed up. There was only one parking pass when we arrived and had to wait a couple of hours for them to bring it before we could get in the parking lot. Was informed that without the pass we would be towed. However, there was a huge music festival going on so I'm sure the staff was overwhelmed. Overall, I would recommend this unit to others.

  All in all this was a great condo. The view was amazing and the furnishings were comfortable. The king bed in the master was very comfy. My in-laws stayed in one of the other bedrooms and complained that their bed was very noisy and maybe broken on one side? Like all other reviews, the carpet does need to be replaced. They should also offer a vacuum in the condo and that would help with the state of the carpets. The dining area is carpeted and I have 2 young messy eaters. I would have cleaned up better after them had there been a vacuum in the place. My biggest complaint is that we tried to reach the renter several times to see if we could stay an extra day. We contacted him via email and phone and he never responded. We finally got ahold of the local contact which I assumed was the cleaning person, but even that person we had to call a few times. I would suggest better customer service or having a plan in place for when renters need to reach the owner. I don't know what we would have done had something really been wrong like being locked out, etc.

  Owner response: I'm glad you enjoyed the condo. The carpet is currently being professionally cleaned and should be in great shape. The carpet is less than 2 years old therefore we don't plan to replace it soon. All my units have vacumm cleaners. If the vacumm is missing it will be replaced. I normally am available 24 hours a day for emergency contact from those who rent one of my16 condo's. This rental occured between Christmas and New Years and during this time I was vacationing with my family at the Grand Canyon. There is no cell service in the Grand Canyon. I do list 2 additional emergency contacts that are local and who handle items such as extension of stay and other emergencies that may occur. We have been in the condo rental business for over 3 years and contact with one of us has not been and issue in the past and I expect our great customer service to continue. Anyway I'm glad you found the condo to be overall "amazing and the furnishings were comfortable".

  The view from this place is spectacular. The furnishings were nice. The balcony off of the master bedroom was one of our favorite things. VERY convenient location! We had a great time.

  I must confess, this vacation was amazing. Starting from this gorgeous condo we stayed in, ocean views, amazing furniture, super comfortable beds (difficult to find as you may know), calm ocean to relax in and to top it all the weather was perfect. I will return for sure (hopefully to the same condo as before, I liked the bed a lot. :)

  Owner response: Thank you for your comments and I agree the pillow top memory foam mattresses make the beds very comfortable. Owner

  We stayed in this room in June. The San Carlos is a new and nice complex. However, our room needs a little TLC. The coffee table was broke, a dinning room chair was broke, and the carpets were very stained. The cleaning people only hit high spots. We found clothes left in the dresser of the master bedroom and trash under chairs and in the convertible bed. The convertible bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress was very thin and you could feel only springs when you laid on it. The condo has potential, just needs to taken care.

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers.

  Owner response: I want to assure the reviewer and all future guest that this is not typical of our condo's comments. Over 95% of all comments regarding this unit are positive and most guest have given the unit 5 STARS. I assure you that all repairs and cleaning were completed the day they were reported. We will continue to maintain our condo's to benifit from the return of repeat guest. Owner
