Great Place to Stay

Guest: Rick and Jean (Exeland, Wisconsin)
Date of Stay: 11/01/11 Review Submitted: 12/06/11

This was our third year staying at this property and in all likelyhood will not be our last. The condo is beautiful and all descriptions and photos are completely accurate. The wrap balcony is definately a plus and the beach view is excellent, not too high up but high enough. The amenities, building and unit are all very well mantained. In fact, the entire building has just been repainted. We especially enjoy using the fitness center with the full wall view of the beach. All the equipment is always in good working order. We highly recommend this property.

Owner response:Thank you Richard and Jean for your kind remarks and for choosing to stay at our condo for your winter vacation, year after year. Both of you have been great guests and are always welcome at our condo. Victor

This Condo had it all... and is updated, nicely decorated, and VERY clean.

Guest: Mark & Maureen (St. Louis, MO)
Date of Stay: 07/30/11 Review Submitted: 08/15/11

My wife and I, and 2 children (ages 19 and 23) have often visited Destin, FL over the years. After much encouragement we gave Gulf Shores a try, and we're very happy that we did. This Condo is beautiful. It is directly on the beach, and the views from the corner balcony in this 4th floor Condo were beautiful. The 2 BR unit is updated, nicely decorated, VERY clean, and provides all the things that come in handy during your stay. It has nice sturdy furniture on the balcony, a washer/dryer, ice maker, vacuum cleaner, stereo, comfortable beds, blender, and little things like DVDs, trash can liners, dish and dishwasher soap, laundry soap, Kleenex, and cabinets that are stocked with not only all the dishes/glassware that you'll need, but this unit also stocks various spices, oils, coffee filters, and other items you hate to have to buy at the grocery. Our week went by fast, but the sun and sand were awesome. Our beach chairs were a short walk away from our Condo door. Victor was very easy to communicate with and was available for the couple of telephone calls that we had. Within a week, we received an email that our deposit check was being mailed back to us. We'll be back to Gulf Shores, and we plan to rent this unit again.

PERFECTION

Guest: Tasha (White Bluff TN)
Date of Stay: 06/11/11 Review Submitted: 06/20/11

Upon arriving at this condo my breath was taken away. It was clean and spotless and was everything and more that was described. Everything for our family of four was at our fingertips and the view and the sounds of the ocean that we had from the wrap around balcony was undescribable. In fact we spent more time on the balcony than we did inside the condo. Every morning my husband and I drank our coffee and watched the dolphins from the balcony. Then just a ride down the elevator and onto the beach. Our beach weather was perfect everyday. And on the days that we needed to stay indoors it was so pleasant because the condo was so beautiful and relaxing. Pleanty of room for our whole family. The king size bed in the master was very comfortable and our children slept so well in their bedroom in the twin beds. It was also nice that each bedroom had it's own attached full bathroom. We have rented other places before and this is by far the best. We enjoyed driving to "Lamberts" for dinner and catching a roll!! and our other favorite place to eat was the "The Shrimp Basket". On our last night our youngest (7 years old) cried because the thought of leaving the next morning was so sad. We are already wanting to make plans to stay again next year. Thanks Victor for letting our family make wonderful vacation memories.

Awesome Condo!

Guest: Vicki (Heber Springs, AR)
Date of Stay: 06/04/11 Review Submitted: 06/18/11

This condo is exactly as shown in the pictures. It is immaculate and the property is clean and well kept. I can't say enough about the view. The corner balcony is spacious and very comfortable to sit and watch the beach and the ocean. Very easy access to the pool and the beach. This was one of the best vacations we have ever had and we didn't want to leave. The owner is easy to reach and very accommodating. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a fun vacation.

Beautiful condo! Between the dolphins in the morning and the sunsets in the evenings, the large balcony was much enjoyed! It was decorated better than my own home & was very comfortable for our family of 4. Very clean and modern. The location was great too. Couldn't have been happier with this condo. Definitely would recommend.

We spent two wonderful weeks in this condo in May 2008. The condo is beautiful, well furnished and very comfortable. The balcony is exceptionally nice, If you want to sit in the sun, you can or you can sit in the shade all day long. Gulf Shores is a great place to vacation.

Wow! What a great condo.It was everything that the pics show and more. We had a great time and hated to leave Gulf Shores. The beach was wonderful and the water was clean and beatiful. I will be trying to book this condo again.
