  The condo was very clean and comfortable. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is located in the perfect spot, our balcony over looked the lagoon and the beautiful gazebo/dock area. My family had a wonderful time fishing and the uncrowded beach was just steps away! Thank you Sheri for everything!!!

  Condo has many upgrades and is immaculate. Working with the owners was very easy. This condo has everything you could want in a rental unit. Fully stocked kitchen with an assortment of small appliances. Full sized washer and dryer. Ample supply of good quality towels for baths and kitchen. Even beach towels provided. Relaxing view of the lagoon and fishing pier. My husband is a fisherman. He has caught speckled trout and flounder from the covered and lighted pier. My 8 year old grandchild delighted in catching trash fish and feeding them to the blue herron and pelicans. You might see the resident red fox that shows up about dark. There is a storage unit with beach chairs, beach toys, a crab trap and even a grill. Sea Oats is located west of Gulf Shores, away from the congestion and crowded conditions of town. There are two large well maintained pools and easy access to the beach. All you could ask for. Listing description was accurate. Photos were very accurate. I would recommend this unit to friends and family and hope to return again next year. Thanks Sheri for sharing your beautiful second home with us.

  Our family of 4 stayed at this condo over Easter vacation, it was great! We have traveled to Alabama and stayed at different locations previously.Found this location to be nice and quiet yet not too far away from attractions.The condo is kept spotless, is very comfortable, and so very roomy (the photos do not accurately depict the size!). We enjoyed having coffee on the terrace and fishing on the docks in the morning as well as late into the evenings. Visited the Track's go karts, the Wharf's Ferris wheel, and Lambert's. We added to our sea shell collection, caught some magnificent sunsets from this property! The owners were so hospitable and kind they have every possible item you could need in the condo or in the store room! Enjoyed the beach and the pool! Cannot wait to book again for next year! This could be one of the best kept secrets in Gulf Shores..Love that we were not in a high rise too. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

  Owner response: Jenn, We love hearing that our guests had a good time "at the beach". We really hope that we hear from you next time you come to Gulf Shores!

  This is our 2nd year coming to the Gulf, this condo was fabulous, so CLEAN and the upgrades they have done are fabulous you wont find a nicer condo in the Sea Oats community. Nicely decorated with all the amenities you might need (pack n play, high chair seat, all the beach necessitys) and wonderful view of the Lagoon. After staying poolside previous years we loved being on the dockside. The owners were wonderful about giving us information to help our parents travel easier to the area and checked on things once we checked in. We all had a great time, our kids loved the room with the bunkbeds, the grandparents loved the relaxing times on the dock and we loved it. Close to the beaches, nice clean pools in the complex, easy parking and great for quiet times with kids and families.

  Your condo was beautiful, clean, and perfectly supplied to meet our every need during our stay. The bedroom with 2 bunkbeds was perfect for our 4 grandchildren. The grandchildren loved fishing from the dock and seeing the crab they caught in the crab trap you provide for your guests.We let him go but it sure was fun catching him. All the little "extras" you provide really made our stay so enjoyable!!

  Our family stay at Sea Oates in the Smith's unit was a wonderful experience! The accommodations greatly meet our expectations! It has everything you need to enjoy the comforts of home and more! The view is incredible, along with the owners! It was by far the nicest unit we have rented from Sea Oates and our family has stayed on the property several times before....You can't go wrong with this one!!!

  This was our second year in this condo and we love it here! Our 4 kids ages 6-12 love the two sets of bunkbeds in the third bedroom. The condo is beautiful and well-stocked with everything you would need. We especially appreciated the beach chairs in the downstairs storage closet, as well as the beach toys that were there for us to use. The owners are extremely helpful and prompt in answering any questions you may have. The view of the lagoon from the balcony is a lovely way to start and end your day! We had a wonderful time again this year and can't wait to come back again next year!

  We stayed in this wonderful unit the week of June 4th. WOW - those were my comments when we opened the door. The decorating and furnishings were those that you would find in someone's home, not something that someone uses for a rental. The kitchen was fully stocked with every item you would find in your own home. The linens were of nice quality and everything was so clean. We just couldn't have been happier. My son also loved that he had his own room with 4 beds to choose from nightly and his own TV to hook up his game system! We have stayed in Sea Oats before and while the unit met our needs - it just didn't compare to this one. We will be planning to rent this unit again in the future! We were happy to be back at the Gulf Coast this year!

  We stayed here last week with my 2 daughter and our grandkids, this condo is perfect! Every possible amenity, great fishing odd the dock swimming in the pool fishing and swimming in the gulf, we did it all. The kids age 10 and 6, hardly ever looked at a TV (there were FOUR) the whole time we were there. We are making arrangements for next year!

  This is the best condo we have stayed in at Sea Oats! Even better in person. Great view of the Lagoon. The owners are very nice and made us feel right at home. They have stocked the condo with everything you will need and then some. Our family has vacationed annually at Sea Oats for many years and this condo is the nicest one we have rented. Only wish we would have booked this year's trip sooner so we could stay here again.

  We loved this condominium from the moment we walked in the door. Everything was very updated and in good working order. The pools were great (especially loved that we could float on rafts in the pool since it was so very hot!). There was oil on the beach due to the spill which kept us from being able to spend time on the beach. Really liked the location of the condo. Would love to go back when beaches are cleaned up!

  My family and I (all 9 of us) just returned after a week long stay in Gulf Shores. We were SO happy to have found this beautiful condo! The owners were such sweet people and were so easy to talk to! As pretty as the pictures are, it just doesn't do it justicve! I felt like I was actually in someone's home! No wicker and out-dated colors here...everything was very elegant, yet warm and cozy! We sat out at night and watched some of the people fish on the pier, very relaxing! We cooked a good bit in the beautiful kitchen and slept great on the mattresses (unlike other condos that you are counting down the days until you can get im your own bed). The pool was really big and not crowded at all (even in June)! Best of all. the BEACH WAS GORGEOUS!!!!!!! We were so afraid, with all that we had seen and heard in the media, that it was going to be realky bad. We were very pleased when we saw that the clean up crews were working so hard AND quickly! The water was as clear as could be the last 4 days we were there. Even when we were up to our necks, we could still see all the way down to our feet. We saw lots of sea creatures whicn made it a blast for the little ones (2 and 6). I would HIGHLY recommend any family or friends to stay here. I actually am trying to plan a 2nd trip before school! ;0)

  We had a wonderful time vacationing at Island's End. This is our second time vacationing in this complex, and this unit is the best. The complex is great because you can fish in the back bay right off either of 2 big shaded docks, you can swim in either of two big pools, and it is a short walk accross the street to the beach. The little kids perfer the pool, dad loves the fishing, and mom enjoys the sunset walks on the beach. This unit is perfect because it has a deck right over the back bay. This means you get to enjoy a beautiful water view all day long, and its just a few steps out to dad on the fishing dock. The unit has be recently redone and is beautiful, yet still comfortable. The 3 bedrooms are separated by a long hallway from the living area and kitchen, so if you put the kids to bed early, you can still enjoy your evening. The unit is very spacious. We had four adults and 2 kids, and never felt crowed at all. The wireless internet is nice -- nothing like checking your email in the morning on the deck. There is so much to do in the Gulf Shores area. Our kids are still little, so we have not checked out the water park or all of the miniture golf places, but they look fun. Of course there is the shopping at the Foley outlet mall. We have been shopping there for many years. We love going to the Naval Air Museum in Pensecola. It is a really cool place for any airplane lovers and an nice break for a hot or rainy day. This trip we found the model train exhibit that has been set up in the old Foley train station. Wow- that is really cool. I have never seen such a detailed model train exhibit. It's a great family stop, and it's free. We also had a wonderful family dinner at The Steamer just off of Hiway 59 near the beach. They brought out 2 beer trays full of steamed seafood. It was the best seafood dinner I've ever had in a restaraunt. We had a great trip and can't wait until we get back!

  This condo was the perfect accomodation for our family's vacation. It has been completely renovated and is beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. We have been to Gulf Shores many times but this was our first time staying on Little Lagoon. We've been missing out! The view from the balcony is beautiful and the guys loved fishing from the pier. The pools at this complex are perfect and it's a short, easy walk to the beach. The owners were caring and helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay at Island's End. We hope to return soon!

  We have enjoyed our stay in your beautiful condo this week and are already planning a return trip to this unit. You have done a wonderful job updating your unit with upscale amenitites. It really is brand new! It was great to sit out on the deck and enjoy our meals overlooking the tranquil waters, watching the pelicans and osprey. Being able to simply walk across the street to spend time on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico(my favorite place) truly was a blessing!

  This condo has the best of both worlds! Great area for the kids to play by the lagoon, and just a short walk to the beach. They could play outside while we watched from the deck. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking, crabbing and great walks along both the lagoon and the beach. The inside of the condo has been renovated and is very spacious and beautiful. The kids room with two sets of bunkbeds made this the perfect place for us to spend our spring break with another family. Another huge bonus...only a few mile drive to the Original Oyster House and the best food! Thank you for sharing your place with us. We had a fantastic vacation!!

  My family and I had a wonderful time at Sea Oats. The Condo is decorated so nice and everything is updated. I think it's the best condo at Sea Oats. It has a great view of the lagoon. Everything is kept very neat & clean. We caught fish in the Lagoon and fed a crane that was sitting right next to us, some of the fish we had caught . The kids loved that. Also, there are two pool to choose from. One is close to the condo. Another big plus for this condo, is that the beach is in walking distance, about 5 min. away. There is a small grocery store down the street, so you don't have to drive far if you need a few items. Over all we would definitely recommend this condo to family and friends. Thanks Sheri and Joe
