The photos do not do justice to this perfect vacation getaway, it is decorated in a way that can't help but make you feel you are in a tropical paradise! Every detail has been thought of with tasteful beach decor, from the beautiful model ships throughout the condo to the smallest detail, the dolphin handle on the commode! The outdoor wicker furniture on the balcony is the BEST of the entire building (ofcourse we looked ha ha)! The view is gorgeous and perfect location as we could see two of the seven pools and how busy they were when we wanted to swim. We actually had the indoor pool all to ourselves during our June stay - how does that happen?? It was fantastic, never felt crowded anywhere especially the beach. We left our chairs and umbrellas and the kids toys and never worried about anything disappearing overnight - some kind stranger even took down our umbrellas and weighted them with our chairs before a storm one night - who does that?? Mary, the owner, made us feel like family. Any concerns or questions were answered immediately and were taken seriously as if it were her vacation. The cleaning crew went out of their way to help us - we arrived a little early with a sick teenager and not only did they allow us to unload all our stuff into the condo they allowed her to stay in the condo to lay down while they cleaned AND offered to sit with her until we came back to the unit so she wasn't alone feeling down. Knowing their schedule to get rooms clean in time for other guests and taking the time to comfort my daughter was just unbelievable. The entire complex is under constant maintenance to the smallest detail, they are always improving something quietly. The security is always around, respectfully mindful and friendly to guests. I can't say enough good things about being there - only one bad thing... we had to leave :( - we were in tears when we left!! Thanks so much Mary we are going to check out your other rentals and can't wait to come back to Gulf Shores with you!!!

This was our first vacation in more than 20 years and your condo and the location was perfect. The condo is so appropriately decorated and the beach was perfect for our grandchildren because it wasn't as crowded as we have observed in pictures of other beaches and people seemed to be more appropriately dressed. I loved not seeing souvenir shops every time I turned around, but they were available when we wanted to shop. Thanks for your assistance in planning our trip. We had a great time and reccommend your condo highly!

Thank you for making or first visit to Gulf Shores an amazing one. The condo was everything we expected-plus-due to great decorating touches. Our family members staying in other units were quite jeaulous. We felt very welcome from the moment we arrived. The weather was fantastic, the view was spectacular. We kept hearing the water was the clearest locals had ever seen it. Our oldest son would have liked to have seen a few more big waves but settled for awesome swimming pools instead. We look forward to another visit. Thanks again for everything.

The condo was beautiful. We haven't had a lot of family time together lately and this was just what we needed. Thank you for sharing your condo with us. Our grandson had a great time riding the boogie board in the waves. We even got to see dolphins. We loved this place and will recommend it to all our friends.

We sure sure enjoyed the atmosphere of the Plantation. The pools were great for the kids, the balcony for the adults and the beach for all. We have been coming to the Gulf Coast for years but this was the first trip to Gulf Shores. Truly enjoyable.

We really had a wonderful time. It was my mother-in-laws 80th birthday and we went to nearly every restaurant to celebrate! The condo was wonderful and had plenty of room with a wonderful view. Make sure to watch for the dolphins in the morning at 7:00 to 9:00. Lots of shopping, beach walking, crab catching and much more. The magic show was wonderful too! We made lots of delightful memories.

Thank you for the use of your beautiful condo. The view is fantastic and we spent much of our time enjoying it from the balcony. The time we have had together with family has been fun and will be memorable. We hope to visit again soon.

This is really a nice place for a family vacation. As you know, this was our first trip with grandchildren. They stayed next door and enjoyed coming to your unit.

Thank you very much for letting our family come any stay in your beautiful place. We are all sad this morning because we have to leave. Granddaughter wants to go and catch one more sand-crab, but knows to leave him here so they will be here next summer. We are planning on staying longer than a week next time! Again, thank you very much for letting us stay here! We plan on coming back if it's ok.

You have such a beautiful condo! We weren't in it that much, leaving early to sight see and coming in late, but is was a super-great place to come home to. Nice big table to play dominoes on, everything was very comfortable. The view was fantastic!! Hope to come back sometime and just hang out here and rest. Thanks a bunch!

This was the nicest condo we have ever stayed in. All the colors and decor came together really well to promote a perfect vacation setting for the beach. Two moms (sister) and our 3 children loved every minute. We will return.

Serendipity! An unexpected surprise. We had no idea what to expect at Gulf Shores. Although we had heard this was a fantastic family vacation spot, we really did not know what to expect. From the fantastic weather (couldn't have asked for better) to the scenic views, to the fun-filled memories we created, this was one of our best vacations ever! We do appreciate your "good ol' slice of Southern hospitality" and will truly remember this "lil slice of Paradise". We will definitely return some day. In the meantime we will simply relive the pleasurable memories we created.
