OUR CONDO:
No need to climb several flights of stairs or wait on elevators to enjoy our ground floor unit! Our home away from home is located in Building 1 which is highly desired because of its private location and close proximity to the beach and pools. It is unlike the other buildings because there are no noisy units across the hallway - just a peaceful sanctuary for nature lovers. Walk out our front door and grill on one of the barbeque grills. Sit on our front porch and enjoy the birds and rabbits in the undeveloped natural beach. Relax on our back deck and enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the white sandy beaches while listening to the waves crash ashore and feeling the gentle ocean breezes! We are just a few steps from two of the outdoor pools, indoor pool, and boardwalk to the beach! Location! Location! Location!
Our condo was completely renovated and redecorated in August 2012. Our beautiful beach view unit contains brand new comfortable furniture throughout. Sit on our new sleeper sofa or plush accent chair and enjoy free HBO on our large flat screen TV. Rest comfortably on our new queen size Restonic mattresses in each bedroom! Prepare wonderful meals in our modern kitchen that is fully stocked with plenty of pots and pans, cooking utensils, silverware, and dishes. The kitchen includes a brand new table with seating for six, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and large island. Bathe in our completely updated bathrooms! The wet bar in the family room provides additional space for brushing teeth, putting on make-up, or drying hair.
We want to make your stay as enjoyable as possible and have stocked our condo with everything you need including games, books, tennis rackets, beach toys and beach chairs. Cable TVs with HBO are provided in each bedroom and free wireless high speed internet is available as well.
Comfortable linens and bath towels for each bedroom and bathroom make your stay complete!. We are located only two doors down from a coin operated laundry facility and provide you with a convenient laundry tote, iron, and ironing board as well.

Kim was wonderful to work with and her condo was very accommodating!! The pictures show a pretty condo; however, they do not do it justice. It is very well maintained and very updated!! Overall she was was great to work with and the condo was perfect for our first family vacation with our 9 month old!! We will definitely book our future stays to gulf shores with her!!! Highly recommended!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Melissa, we are so glad you chose our condo for your first family beach trip! Thank you for your kind comments and for taking such good care of our home. Can't wait to have you back again so I can get another precious pic of your son on the beach! Kim

This rental was even nicer than what the pictures showed. The property was immaculate and very well maintained. The owners thought of everything for a family that flew in! There were sand toys, tennis rackets and balls, lawn chairs, charcoal and so much more...The owner checked in on us to make sure we were happy and was so kind! I would definitely recommend this property. Please check out Lamberts in Foley for a great family dining experience, but go HUNGRY! History buffs go just down the road to Fort Morgan and plan on spending at least 1/2 a day.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Wow, Julie. Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed our condo and all the amenities we provide. It is important to us that our guests have everything they need to make their beach vacation complete. I'm so glad you found Lamberts - "Home of the Throwed Rolls". It is about 30 minutes from our condo, but is a southern dining experience that visitors will never forget! Please come back and stay with us again. Kim

Kim was very accommodating to our family during Hurricane Isaac. We had to evacuate a day early and she made that easy as pie! The condo was very newly remodeled and precious! Thanks for sharing you condo with us!Recommended for: Families with young children.
Owner response: Hi, Amber! Thank you for your kind comments! We were so happy to have you as our first guests. Hurricane Isaac missed us, but hit your home instead, so accommodating you and your family was the least we could do. I do hope all of the water is out of your home and things are back to normal. We hope you will stay with us again soon. Kim

Year Purchased: 2012
About the owner: Andy, Kim, Sydney, and Sara Grace Estill are from Hoover, Alabama.
Why the Owner Chose Gulf Shores Plantation:
We have vacationed at the Gulf Shores Plantation since our oldest daughter was a baby. We are so happy to finally own a piece of paradise!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
We love the Plantation because it is close enough to shopping, dining, and entertainment, but far enough away from the crowded beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Here, we can truly relax, eat great seafood, and have fun!
