WE WERE SO EXCITED WHEN WE SAW THE INSIDE OF THE CONDO. IT LOOKED LIKE A MAGAZINE LAYOUT. IT WAS A GREAT LOCATION FOR OUR GETAWAY. FELT SAFE. THIS WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME BY MY SON AND HIS FAMILY. WISH WE COULD HAVE HAVE STAYED LONGER...... GREAT...

This condo was better than advertised. It was neat, clean and affordable. The decor was fantastic with attention to detail. Lots of storage so we were not tripping over our stuff or each other as there were 5 of us. It advertises 3 bedrooms and it means three good sized rooms. There were plenty of towels, sheets and a full capacity washer/dryer. All the appliances functioned and have been kept clean. Great central location and within walking distance to several shops and places to eat. The owner was a breeze to work with and responded to our request quickly. The steps to rent the unit were hassle free considering that we rented a few days prior to our trip. We enjoyed it so much we recommended it to a family member who rented the unit a week later and called as soon as she arrived to tell us how much they liked the unit. We plan to stay there again in the future.

I can't thank Dia enough for this real quick get away. I stayed here on 6/17/11 just before a 30 yr. HS reunion. It was beautiful. Extremely spacious and quiet. I really wish I could have booked it for the whole weekend. I will return as often as I can. I loved it and the owners are fabulous to work with and respond very quickly. Don't hesitate to stay here, you WON'T be disappointed. Thanks Dia you were great!

Just wanted to say we aboslutely loved our trip to the beach. It was our baby"s first trip to the beach and she loved it. We thoroughly enjoyed our condo we stayed in. Perfect location and nice and quiet compared to ther places. It felt like we were staying in someones home. Very cozy and peaceful. Dia and her husband were very helpful with all our requests and great to work with. We definitely plan on making this a yearly trip and have intentions of trying to always stay in this condo.

I looked at many condos online before choosing this one, and I'm glad I did. There are six (6) women in our group (50++) who have been friends for many years - some as long as 40+ years. We try to get together at least once a year, sometimes twice if we can manage. We have 4 from LA., 1 from MS, and 1 from TN. We thoroughly enjoyed everything, the view, the waves, and so much more. The owners were terrific to deal with and worked with us regarding the oil spill, which was gone by January, 2011. I highly recommend this condo, well worth it!

My family and I truly enjoyed staying at this condo. I particularly liked the views from both bedrooms and the living room as well. I would recommend this condo to stay in to anyone. The owners are really great and have decorated the condo nicely. There were 4 adults and two children in our party, and we had plenty of room. Another plus for The Whaler - it is close to activities and shopping, but far enough away to be private.

We had a wonderful time and the view was awesome the condo was large and modern. The owners are great to rent from and very concerned that you have a great stay. I highly recomended renting from them. You are close enough to walk to everything right in the heart of Gulf Shores.

We were able to get the whole family together for a week at this great condo in 2009 and planned to do the same in 2010. We reluctantly cancelled our reservations for 2010 because of the BP oil spill. The owners generously returned all of our money - including the deposit! That was much more than we expected. It's a wonderful, family-friendly building with owners who are really concerned about you.
