  We had a wonderful vacation in Gulf Shores. I am 49 years old, I had my 17 year old daughter and my parents who are in their 70's along for the vacation. The condo worked out perfectly for us, there was plenty of room and privacy for all of us. The condo itself is beautiful, plenty of amenities, very peaceful and quiet. We all slept very well, and felt like this was truly a home away from home. We enjoyed the pool area, got a golf cart a couple of times to drive around on the grounds as the boardwalk to the lagoon was too far for my parents to walk to. We enjoyed the beach and the fantastic pier at Gulf Shores State Park. I would highly recommend going to LuLu's for dinner, and also Lambert's Cafe in Foley. Both are a lot of fun! If you are in the area and looking for a beautiful drive, go to Pensacola Beach which is straight east of Gulf Shores, or take 59N to 98W and follow the scenic route to Fairhope, both are beautiful areas within an hour drive. We would definately stay at this condo again, it was perfect for us. It is a bit of a drive to get to things, but well worth it. My parents have stayed in some of the high rise condo's along the beach, they said this was much nicer than the places they had previously stayed. Janet is a sweetheart, so easy to talk to, and she gives plenty of recommendations to make sure your stay is all that you could ask for. The condo was so clean and ready for our arrival. If you are looking for a comfortable, clean, beautiful and scenic place for your next vacation in Gulf Shores, this is the perfect place.

  The condo was exactly as advertised. Lovely setting, lots of space. Great balcony. Property was clean and well maintained. Janet was always quite responsive to any questions. The weather for the last half of Feb. was unusually wet, but still able to find lots to do in the area. Great little fish place just down the road where you could pick up something fresh for dinner each night.

  Very pleased with my recent stay at this condo. The pictures do not do it justice. It's much more spacious than the photos show. Very clean and well appointed. The back deck is huge it's on the top floor overlooking pond,tennis courts and fairway. Plenty of seating. Air conditioning works very well actually has two A/C units because it's so big. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

  Of the VRBOs we have had the pleasure to stay in, we all agreed this our number one VRBO. The owners have obviously gone above and beyond to make your stay the most accomodating, comfortable and worry free stays. The idea of our short visit was a holiday weekend getaway and we suceeded. This VRBO is HIGHLY recommended for anyone looking for a quite and comfortable place to relax. Owners kept us well informed and answered our questions in reasonable time. Will we visit again? Without a doubt!

  From the friendly gate guards to the beautiful grounds, this was a vacation to remember. The listing description is very accurate, as all the listed amenities are present. The unit was very clean and inviting. It didn't take long to shed my cares and sink into one of the oversized chairs in the living room. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and the location is perfect for day excursions. I'll definitely be booking again when vacation time comes around!

  My family recently stayed at this condo and found it wonderfully relaxing. The condo itself was very clean and inviting and had everything we could want. We really enjoyed the fitness center, tennis courts (clay) and private beach. We found some really great restaurants in Orange Beach (approx 15 minutes away). My girls age 12 and 15 are asking to go back next year. We really had a great time and would recommend it to anyone.

  We just returned from a long weekend in this resort condo and were completely pleased with everything about it. We have adult children and the seperate baths with each bedroom and the large common areas were perfect. After enjoying the privacy and roominess, it would be difficult to go back to a cramped condo on the beach. If you don't have to be right on the beach, I would wholeheartedly recommend this lovely home to any family or friends looking for quiet, secure surroundings and excellent amenities. The golf was great and the food in the clubhouse was very tasty, fresh and reasonably priced. So convenient to eat breakfast before golf and lunch afterward without getting into the crowds at the beach. Janet is great to work with and we will probably get on her calendar for next year.

  My husband and I wanted a nice place to go within a fairly short driving distance from Atlanta for the week between Christmas and New Year's. I like the beach and my husband likes golf. We feel we found the perfect solution with this condo! It is situated in a gated golf community. The condo is on the top floor of this building with a nice view of the golf course and tennis courts from the very large covered balcony. The unit is very spacious, much more than a couple would need, but it is nice to have all the room to stretch out! It would be a perfect place to bring a second couple, or a family; the master bedroom is on one side of the condo with two guest bedrooms on the other side. All the bedrooms have a private bathroom. The kitchen is very well equipped and a bonus is the full size washer and dryer in a laundry area adjoining the kitchen. The living room is very large and would be great for a gathering. We were pleased with how quiet it is; there was a New Year's Eve party going on in the adjoining unit last night, and we wondered when we got off the elevator after dinner if it would be noisy, but once we were inside the condo, we could hear nothing. There are nice walking trails within the property, one of them going through a marsh to the bay. The beach is a short (3 mile) drive away and there are also nice hiking trails into the nearby wildlife preserve from the beach area. My husband got in two rounds of golf during our stay and reported the courses to be in fine shape and fun to play. Gulf Shores, with all the shopping, restaurants, and public beaches, is a short ride, but here in the Peninsula, you are well away from all the traffic, noise, and congestion of a typical beach property. We would highly recommend this spot for a quiet and relaxing time away. We thought it was a great way to bring in the New Year. Thanks to the owners for being easy to work with and for sharing this lovely spot.
