Why the Owner Chose Tropic Isles
We love being directly on the beach!!! There is always some kind of activity to do in the Gulf Shores area. If we are not building sand castles with our kids or swimming in the pool, we are walking down the beach collecting sea shells to add to our collection. This area is very family friendly and is a safe and clean place to vacation.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We love sitting on our private balcony overlooking the pool and beach. Drinking our favorite beverage while watching the dolphins swim by is a bonus as well..

Absolutely loved our week in your property! Everything was exactly as published and the location is perfect. Watched dolphins play from the balcony and watched the sunrise from the swing several mornings. Especially appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and the extra amenities of the beach chairs and toiletries. Tarah was exceptionally nice to work with and everything was professionally handled at the time of this writing. If in this area again, I will definitely try to rent this location again.

Thanks Tarah for making this vacation so stress free! This was our first - and not last- trip to Gulf Shores! Everything was wonderful! The beach toys in the closet was the best! Before we could make it to the store - we had everything we needed to go to the beach! Tropic Isles was wonderful too! We got to meet a lot of families - everyone was so nice! It really is a family place! My son always had someone to play with!

We had a great experience at Tropical Isles! Everything was accurate and communication with Tarah was smooth. A very nice place in a good location and it was an excellent value. Our deposit refund was mailed the day after we left as well. I would strongly consider staying in this condo again! Thanks Crabtrees!

We had a great stay. The condo exceeded our expectations in pretty much every aspect. Everything was clean and appliances seemed brand new. We especially liked the large balcony where we watched dolphins and schools of fish wandering down the shore. The keyless entry is a major advantage too - don't worry about keeping track of a key. It was our first time using VRBO and first time at Gulf Shores, but everything went perfectly. We will definitely check here first when we come back to Gulf Shores.

Our family had the best time we have ever had in visiting the Gulf area. We have stayed in condos in Destin, FL, Biloxi, MS, and Gulf Shores, AL. This condo was by far the best we have ever stayed in. The condo was exceptionally clean, had every thing you would want, and was right on the beach. The only complaint I had was that our vacation was not longer. We will definitely be back!!!

We stayed for a week in early April. The view is amazing and the owner has made sure the codo has everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. This was the most relaxing vacation I have had in a long time. The beach is clean and uncrowded. My daughter and I enjoyed our long daily walks on the beach. Thank you to Tarah and her family for sharing their wonderful vacation home with us.

Once again we had a wonderful time at what we think of as our second home. This time we discovered that West Beach Grill is close and has good food, and that Shipp's Harbor House has excellent crab cakes.

Thanks Tarah, for making our stay happen at the last minute with no glitches whatsoever. The location of the condo is just perfect for a Gulf Shores beach vacation. Everything needed for a comfortable and convenient stay is provided. The decoration is very bright, fun, and positive. Thanks for all the recommendations regarding entertainment and restaurants. We tried several and were not disappointed, including a couple of very nice restaurants within walking distance on the beach. A very easy drive to surrounding communities such as Pensacola, FL, or Mobile, AL. A must see are the Blue Angels and the USS Alabama/USS Drum.

Gulf Shores Condo Vacation

Tarah, I just wanted to thank you for allowing us the privelage of staying in your condo on Gulf Shores. The condo was great, everything was clean and ready to go and the stay was very relaxing and enjoyable. I guess the thing my wife and I enjoyed most was waking up to the view of the ocean off the balcony and enjoying each others company listening to the waves and just relaxing. We enjoyed the beach and picking up shells and the overall stay was just wonderfu! The most memorable day was our last day (we stayed 5 nights), when we walked to the beach before leaving. The water was very calm and clear and just amazing - it made me truly appreciate Gods creation. The waves were like liquid glass - we could see through them as they rolled onto the beach. The sea life was visible and unlike anything I have ever had the privelage of seeing. We will come back again and we are already talking about our next visit. Thanks so much for your hospitality, professionalism and courtesy with the entire process. I would recommend this location for anyone with appreciation for Gods glory and beauty in nature. P.S. - For you fisherman - I love to fish and enjoyed the State Park Fishing Pier in Gulf Shores. Plenty of varieties of fish, very clean, easy to get to with restrooms, benches, fresh water and fish cleaning stations!

We have stayed at Tropic Isles many times, but this was the first time to deal directly with the owner. We were very pleased with ease of reservation. We liked the queen bed since it gave more space to move in the bedroom. And the swing was super! Most of our time was spent deciding where to eat. Favorites include Bahama Bob's (walk to it), Wolf Bay Lodge, King Neptune's, Lulu's Grill, Cafe Villagrio (wharf), and Sea N Suds.
