Our stay in Gulf Shores week of 04/14/12

My husband and I just love Gulf Shores, Alabama. We went often when we lived in Louisiana; now that we are back in Texas, its a little further for us so we can't visit as we would like. This Condo was nice and had a wonderful view. We had everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay. I have not stayed in a unit on the beach; it was quite convenient to go to and from the beach. I do have to complain about the bed, as I am not used to one that is quite that firm. I believe it had a feather topper, but I think it needs something else to add softness. Also I emailed the owners about a mold/mildew smell that we noticed. Over all we had a good experience with this unit.

Owner response:I am so sorry that you were not happy with the bed. We want everyone to be comfortable. Since some people prefer firm and some prefer soft, we compromised with a medium. We had 3 people inspect the condo from top to bottom and no one noticed a mold/mildew smell and there was nothing leaking. The cleaning ladies said they cleaned extra, just in case, but we haven't had anyone else mention a problem but they are checking everytime they go in to clean. They suggested that you were just smelling the beach itself. Depending on temperature, humidity and wind or lack thereof, there will be different smells at the beach, especially when you are staying right on the beach. Sometimes there is even a fish smell. Yuk! I am so happy that you enjoyed the convenience and the condo!! I know you have a long drive but hope you get to visit again soon!

Great condo in a great location. This condo is very clean and nicely decorated with comfortable furnishings in a well kept building. The owner has provided everything needed from sitting on the beach to cooking a gourmet meal. But who wants to cook on vacation with so many restaurants to choose from. This condo is definitly worth looking into .

Owner response:I am so glad you enjoyed the condo and your vacation. Come back anytime you need to relax and escape the real world.

Returned for another stay at this condo and again was more that satisfied with the place. It has been upgraded and is in a nice, quiet part of the beach; perfect location. Highly recommend. If you want something other than just the usual fried food experiences try Cosmos; exactly 10 miles from Seacrest. I found it to be by far the best place to eat there, lunch or dinner. It compares with any of the upscale places I have gone to in Destin or Panama City and is very reasonable considering the food quality and variety.

We enjoyed our stay here. Our first time to visit Gulf Shores. We have always vacationed at Destin, Florida. Great places to eat. Loved The Steamer, Hangout, Bahama Bobs. Enjoyed LuLu's and loved the Shrimp Basket! Our phone service was not good. We plan on coming back to Gulf Shores! Jennifer was great to communicate with. Thank you for letting us stay in your condo! Visited Flora-Bama (3) times! (Party Place!).

We had an absolutely wonderful week. The weather, the water, the beach, the pool, the City of Gulf Shores - All Perfect! The tenants and guests of Seacrest were fantastic! I felt very relaxed and safe here. I really like what you did with the condo. It had everything we needed. Jen was so easy to work with. Thanks for everything! P.S. I think we found a second home!

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful condo. We got exactly what we came down for - a relaxing few days away from home & wrok. The condo was very impressive - very neat & beautifully decorated. Enjoyed drinking coffee from the balcony in the mornings & enjoying the sound of the rolling waves. Enjoyed eating at Doc' Seafood & Lambert's & would recommend to any future guests. Thanks again & God Bless - Anthony & Cheryl (Cave City, Arkansas)

My wife and I came here for a delayed honeymoon and don't want to leave! Everyday had great weather and we loved having access to such a nice condo right on the beach! We got to see Iron Man 2 and go eat at Lambert's in Foley. Amazing food you don't want to miss. My wife and I loved it here at Seacerest and hope to return when we can afford it! Great honeymoon and met some incredible, friendly people! Thanks for everything and can't wait to come back! Lauren and Stephen (married April 17th, 2010)

Everyday was sunny & 70 degrees. Your condo is wonderful. We had a great time. I built a Fairy House on the beach. We went to a movie, "How to Train A Dragon" in 3D. Shopped at the Wharf - ate great dinners. We really like Bahama Bob's. Went to the Gulf Shores Zoo and the alligator place. Took a dolphin cruise. I want to stay ! Thank You! the Nolllins

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Seacrest. It was a short trip but we had a great time. It was sunny but the winds were fierce. We weren't expecting the strong winds but we had a lot of laughs. We got turned around once on the way here (no surprise to us) but other than that it was great! The condo is so precious & very neat. I would recommend it to any couple or small family. The food at Lambert's was great and incredibly filling. My husband was alsmost hit by two thrown rolls - watch out! We also enjoyed Doc's Seafood and our time by the pool. Now, we are headed back to T-Town. God Bless & Roll Tide - Josh & Melanie

The end of another spring break in Gulf Shores. Although the weather has not been ideal (wind, cloudy, etc.), we still had a great time!! One day walking around Bonsecour Wildlife Refuge, one day in Fairhope/Mobile, one day at Tanger Outlet, one day walking back country trails in the State Park and, of course, walking the beach whenever possible. Ate at Doc's (great fish), the Oyster House, Gulf Shores Steamaer and 1/2 price banana split at Brewsters on Thursday (bring your own banana). Highlight was our pile of steamed shrimp at Sea & Suds eaten out over the water. Did not get to Lambert's in Foley for "throwed rolls", but there is always next year. you have a great facility for our situation (couple). Great view and location!! The only hiccough for the week was that the internet went down 1/2 way through the week. Not that we were using it that much as we weren't in the condo a lot. Kind of hate to leave for the cold of Michigan. Rick/Bonna - Big Rapids, MI

Our family enjoyed our stay immensely. It was a long drive here but very worth it! It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed and peaceful. My husband probably enjoyed this vacation more than any other in the last 3 years. We all loved the condo and our 2 children were happy to see that there were beach toys here as we forgot to bring their toys. They enjoyed the pool and my son especially enjoyed the hot tub since he's a little cold natured. We were lucky enough to see the dolphins swimming across the Gulf right in front of the condo. Most of my time was spent reading on the balcony or by the pool while listening to the beautiful sounds of the Gulf. The condo is in a great location and had everything our family needed. Thanks so much for sharing your condo. We will definitely recommend it to others.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful condo from 9-19-09 to 9-16-09 and loved every minute of our stay. The condo has been completley renovated. The floors are a beautiful tile as well as the bathroom. The kitchen has a granite countertop. The mattress in the bedroom and the pillows are to die for. Nothing has been overlooked as far as the decor goes, looks like a designer bought all the furniture and accessories. We will definetely stay here again. Sherry and Pat Tate Pinson, Al.

What a great place! Your condo is very well decorated and has everything a family needs. Clean, neat & tidy. We will recommend it to others. The water is not as clear and the beaches not as clean as past visits to the Gulf. We have learned throughout the week, however, that this is due to the west wind stirring up the water and blowing everything in this direction. Interesting how it all works. Nevertheless, the sound of the water is so peaceful and is my favorite part about the beach. You obviously have class and appreciate the quality of things. We sincerely are grateful. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with our family.
