Dear Linda and Jack, Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your lovely condo. We have visited Gulf Shores many times, and this is the most cozy accommodation we have encountered. Your place really feels like our home, only in a fabulous location! This has been our first vacation alone since welcoming our daughter last May. We really look forward to bringing her soon, and we hope we can experience Seacrest 803 during that stay. The balcony is perfect, with amazing views of the ocean, dolphins, sting rays, and passers-by. Our bed was very comfortable, which is rare in some condos. Thank you for providing kitchen supplies-the pitchers were quite helpful during our daily margarita hour! We hope you continue to rent out this condo for years to come, as we will be here often. We will definitely recommend your place to friends and family. Sincerely, Kelly and Sid Tuscaloosa, AL.

Linda and Jack, We had such a great week in your beautiful condo! This was our first family trip with our 11 month old son Jaxon-he loved the pool, beach, and spent many afternoons napping in the shade in his pack & play. We really appreciate all the little extras you had here to make your condo feel like home for the week. The notebook with menus was especially helpful! We loved the Shrimp Basket, City Grill, and Old World Bakery & Pizza! This was our first trip to Gulf Shores, and we would love to stay here in your condo again. Thank you for a wonderful week! Chris, Lori and Jaxon Nashville, TN.

We are back again...three weeks this time. Love all the new additions. Went to the Zoo for a couple of hours and glad we did, we really liked it. We certainly enjoyed your beach home, which we called our beach home for three weeks. Did a lot of fun things, but mostly walking and relaxing on the beach, listening to the surf, the sunrises and sunsets. Thanks again and look forward to #803 next year, same time.

We have just spent a wonderful week at Gulf Shores. We are from the Dallas area, so to be this close to the water was a real treat for us. It was so relaxing to sit on the swing and hear the waves crashing onshore. I picked up too many seashells, slept too much and ate way too much, but had a great time. We're heading home now with a bag of t-shirts for the grandkids and a camera full of memories. Jerry and Janette

Dear Linda and Jack, Thanks so much for a great week in the sun. We love the beach, the sun and everything about Gulf Shores. The condo was wonderful. We appreciated all the amenities. The "homey" feel to the condo is so welcoming. It quickly became apparent that we could easily become beach bums! We saw dolphins on Christmas morning-what a delightful event. We hope to return soon.

Dear Sikes Family, Thank you for providing a cozy vacation site! The past week the weather was near perfect and we slept lots in the comfy bed! We appreciated all of the cooking tools since we prepared 1/2 of our meals in. We got to watch dolphins swim by and jump out of the water as we chopped veggies. It was a terrific Thanksgiving beach get-a-way for us. Many thanks, The Averys Louisville, KY.

Gulf Shore's visit--- July 23-30, 2011

Guest: Marla H. (Van Buren, Arkansas)
Date of Stay: 07/23/11 Review Submitted: 08/04/11

My husband and I were looking for a great place that would be stress free and relaxing. We found that and more. This property is exactly as described and pictured. The information left by Jack and Linda regarding area attractions was very helpful. I have to say that the balcony swing (with a good book) was my favorite place to be. We visited Lulu's for lunch and Lambert's for dinner (a couple of times), and the food was awesome. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Gulf Shores!
