This was our second time staying here. We were blown away -- again. The condo is even nicer than before. We loved the new appliances and the new furniture. The condo is comfy AND luxurious. We were there with another couple and there was plenty of room for all of us. The weather was great, the beach beautiful and the Gulf was already warm. We even visited the zoo and went kayaking. It's a great place to stay, play and forget about real life.

Birthday/Retirement Getaway

Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your condo. Everything was outstanding! We felt right at home but with SUPER benefits. I am already trying to plan when we will be able to come again. The decor and furnishings were absolutely wonderful. The balcony view was excellent at all times of the day. Even the parking and the "beach chair guy" were great! This was by far our best vacation in 18 years of marriage. THANK YOU!

This is a beautiful property! The building is nice, parking is easy, the balcony is wonderful, the pool is roomy and the location on the beach is perfect. But this particular condo is PHENOMENAL!!! So beautifully appointed, it felt like we were in someone's private home.... not 'just a rental' condo! The details.... granite countertops, stainless appliances, living room and bedroom furniture, decor on the walls, balcony furniture... all made the experience feel so 'homey' and comfortable. The huge balcony is amazing at all times of the day as it is pointed south overlooking the beautiful white sandy beach. Bonnie, the owner, was quickly responsive with any additional questions or concerns that we had. The only 'glitch' was that I did not know I was to stop at 'Meyer' to get the key. Having never been to Gulf Shores before, I was assuming 'Meyer' was some guy who worked at the front desk!! Luckily, I noted the Meyer Real Estate building on our way to the condo and made the connection. Overall fantastic time!!!!

Owner response:Thank you very much Lynn, i am so glad that you enjoyed the condo and your stay. I'm thrilled that it felt like a home and not a rental condo as that's exactly our goal! I'm really sorry about the confusion with "Meyer" because I thought the Meyer Real Estate address was in the confirmation. Another learning experience for me, I'll be sure to fully explain it in the future. I hope that you and your family will return to Gulf Shores and our condo in the future. Thanks again for the wonderful review!

My stay at this property was awesome. The condo was decorated nicely and had all the comforts one could possibly want. It was very easy to find. The balcony and view were great. The owner was very helpful in helping me set up my stay and also furnished her phone numbers if I had any questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. I certainly hope that I am able to visit and stay at this property again. Also, our dinner @ DeSotos Seafood Kitchen was very good. I know I would revisit that restaurant.

Owner response:Barbara, Thanks so much for your review and I'm very happy that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to your return!

Spring Break at San Carlos 1502

Great condo, comfortable beds, great kitchen, plenty of room and wonderful decor. We lived on the balcony the chaise longers are so confortable. Location was perfect for us, our daughter and her friends hungout on the beach during the day and walked to the Hang Out at night. The only thing that needs to be added is a jacuzzi down by the pool.

Owner response:Thanks Robert, I am so glad you enjoyed your vacation and the condo! My husband could not agree more about the jacuzzi by the pool, he really wishes they would add one...who knows, maybe one of these days. Thanks again and I hope you will return.

San Carlos Beach Front Condo

We have been vacationing in Gulf Shores for a number of years including the past six winters. We have gone through realty companies and private owners. We have been fortunate to have stayed in many nice condos. Of all the places we have stayed this condo felt like home more than any other. It was clean, very attractively decorated and nicely furnished. All the amenities of home were available We enjoyed dealing with the owner. She is personable and honest, qualities you don't always find in all owners (we know from personal experience). The highest compliment we can give is that we are going to be staying again next year and already are excited (not wanting to wish our lives away). We would certainly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a two bedroom unit (just not when we want to rent it!)

Owner response:Thanks John and Sandy for your very kind review! I, too, am looking forward to your return. You definitely treated our condo like you would your own home and that is much appreciated!
