Excellent location, great rates

My girlfriend and I went down to celebrate our 2 year anniversary and couldn't have been happier. (as a side note, I proposed and she said yes so it would have been a good trip regardless, but this really is an excellent place to stay) The location is minutes from everything, easy beach access, and a nice unit with updated furniture. The unit is steps from the pool and only 1 mile from a small grocery.Unbeatable value. I highly recommend it and plan to stay again on future trips.

We truly enjoyed our first solo family vacation at the Moonraker. My husband and I had our 1 year old and 6 year old who immediately showed how happy they were to be there. Everything was nice, quiet, and clean. The neighbors were all friendly also. The process from beginning to end was so simple. Having a condo that is so close to the beach and that affordable was what sold me on coming. I would recommend it and stay again in the future.

This 1 bed room condo was in great condition on the interior, and in an excellent location. Easy to get to anywhere. Very comfortable and convenient. Easy walk across the street to a very clean beach. We loved our stay and definitely recommend to others.

We came down to get married and have a family vacation. There were two adults and three children and we fit comfortably. Though we had to cross a street, there was easy access to the beach. Very clean and fit our needs perfectly. Reasonably priced and transactions were smooth from beginning to end. Quiet despite having other vacationers coming and going. Will definitely use again.

My Family and I loved it at the Moonraker. We had nice neighbors and it was very quiet. The kids loved the pool and having their own beds! We had two adults and four kids and we all slept comfortably in the condo. The Bathroom was nice also. Beach access was great! You have to cross the street, but it was still nice. The Deck out front is where we would eat and relax. The children loved being able to watch their favorite shows at night. The Carey's have a very nice condo. We will be back!!!!!! The Starkeys

Everything from making the initial rental arrangements to arriving at the condo to enjoy our vacation was enjoyable and very professionally handled. The condo is clean and well taken care of and perfectly located just across the street from the beach. I'll definitely look into the Careys' properties for future trips and recommend to friends and family. Thanks for a great trip!

It was definitely a pleasure doing business with you guys and we look forward to staying with you in the future. Thanks again!!

The condo was great! The condo was not clean when we arrived, but after speaking with Mr. Carey, Cathy arrived within 5 minutes and stormed through the unit and apologized for having her calendar wrong. She had the place spic and span in no time. She was wonderful! Great beach access and pool was right next to our unit. Would highly recommend!

We loved our trip to the Gulf! The condo was awesome - perfect for our family of three; the walk to the beach is a piece of cake, the pool is always clean and the Carey's are great to work with! Highly recommended -- we arrived early (by three hours) and went by to check and see when we could get in and Cathy, who was just finishing up cleaning invited us in, offered to help with our things and told us the good places to eat. It was a great welcome. We will stay here again!!

This was our second stay at this condo and when we come back to GS we will stay here again as long as it is available. The pool was nice and the walk to the beach excellent. We were provided with excellent customer service. We enjoy our stay everytime. I am glad this place is available! I will and have recommended this place to every person I know who plans to visit Gulf shores. 100% the best! Don't hesitate this is the one!

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. Our schools were on AEA Break, so we need a vacation. The condo was nice and very reasonably priced. Just a short walk to the beach. The pool was closed while we were there. It was clean and looked very inviting. We are looking forward to another stay soon as possible. I would recommend this condo to my friends. Frances H.

It was a great little place, convenient to the beach, clean, had everything we needed, nice pool, friendly neighbors. We rented bikes for the week which made it easier to get to lunch and go out, since most resturants and stores where 1 1/2 miles away. It was a very relaxing vacation.

The condo was beautiful and quiet. We easily prepared meals in privacy, enjoyed the pool with other guests, and walked across the road to the beach. It couldn't have been easier. We are looking forward to returning soon.

After hours of driving, arriving at the condo was the start of our vacation! Very well kept and clean. The pool was always clean. Just walk across the street, and you are at the beach. Shopping right down the street, food everywhere! We will definetely come back if you have us! Thank you for making our first vacation at a beach a great experience.

This condo was perfect for my husband and I. It was clean and in a great location. The beach was a short walk across the street. The pool was also very nice as were all of the neighbors. It is a small cozy condo with nice up to date amenities. The air was very cold which was great after a day in the heat. The condo was the highlight of our stay and should we choose to visit Gulf Shores again we will definitely stay here. This was the best price by far and allowed us to enjoy our stay and save money to put on different things.

We loved the condo. It was such a good value and met all of our needs. We hope to stay there again next time we come to Gulf Shores. Pool and beach access were great. My only issue was the upstairs neighbors called the FIRE DEPARTMENT when I lit my postage stamp size grill on the deck. I did not know it was against the rules. A posted notice would have been nice, or even better, the upstairs neighbor could have come down ten steps and let me know before calling in the authorities!! Overall, great value and great vacation.

We really enjoyed your condo. We took a "girls trip" and everyone agreed that it was a great place. The pool was just outside the door and never crowded. We had breakfast & lunch on the deck, even put our makeup on out there. We especially enjoyed being closd to everything but not in the thick of the traffic. Two lanes are great! I've already recommended it to two other friends!
