I was very pleased with this condo. Everything was very nicely done and we definitely felt at home. There were no surprises as to the "real" condo. The pictures were very accurate and helpful. It was very clean, inviting and homey. It was very comfortable and it was in a very convenient location. We were close to everything and it was easy to get in and out of the condo. We never had long waits for the elevator and as stated we were right on the beach and our condo overlooked the pool. We would definitely stay at this condo again. The owner was very helpful, friendly and accommodating to our wishes. My teenager especially liked all the extra beach towels. He never had to use a wet one. As I always make our travel plans, I am very concerned that my family will not like the place I choose for our stay. I can say very happily that my family gave me an A+ for this condo, which I in turn took as a very high compliment for the owner of this condo. Thanks again for allowing us to stay here and would very much enjoy staying again and again. I would recommend this condo to anyone.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

This condo is a peaceful, cottage-like home offering serenity, comfort and warmth. I was in search of a comfortable, clean place to retreat to. Her condo far exceeds the description and photos available on the site. From the welcome wreath on the door to the special extras she has adorning each nook and cranny of her home, this condo is so well equipped one has nothing to want for. The variety of books, the comfortable master bed with cozy comforters, the fireplace to ward off the chill of winter breezes, the kitchen so well stocked for meal preparations, are just the tip of what the condo has to offer. It was one of the most wonderful experiences I've yet to have at the beach with 40+ years of visiting the gulf coast. I have every intention to return to this condo for many more visits.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, romantic getaway, age 55+.

Hi Ricky! Thanks for letting us know the deposit is on its way...we had a great time on our vacation and your condo was so comfortable and cozy! The view was beautiful, especially in the mornings. As an addition, our children loved your original Jungle Book DVD...it was a hit with them, and I am not exaggerating when I say they probably watched it once per day (with popcorn of course)! It was truly a home away from home! Thanks again...we will recommend your units to our family and friends and hope to visit again in the near future. God Bless!Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Thank you for allowing us to spend our vacation in your condo. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and the atmosphere. The condo was stocked like a home and the physique of it was beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend it for families looking to get away from the crowded beaches. The quietness and security guard were added benefits. Thanks again! We had a wonderful time! The Barrow'sRecommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.

This was my very first visit to Gulf Shores. How beautiful ! and to stay in such a lovely condo. We were so impressed with how well stocked it was. Just wished we found the binoculars sooner than our last day there:) Would have helped with seeing the dolphins. You thought of everything. I must say too, that we were impressed on how clean the condo was. Our weather was awesome and the beach was great. I had a very relaxing time and will miss my daily morning walks on the beach. Thank you.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.

First time in a few years our kids had matching breaks. Wanted to take advantage! Lots of items in home to use. We weren't there long enough to cook, but next time I breaking out the Margarita Machine!!! : ) Great location, close to everything, but very quiet at the same time.Security on the property all of the time was nice, especially for parking issues. Pools are clean and plenty of chairs. The Hangout was fun and Franco's was delicious. Beach is spotless!! Hopefully this will work out again next spring!!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

About the owner: Hi! I'm Ricky Beale (owner) I live in Illinois but I've always loved the beach. When I 'discovered' Gulf Shores I knew I had found my beach 'home away from home'. The soft sugary white sand, lush trees and foilage and the blue water and sky all combine to make up this piece of paradise. I enjoy taking care of the rentals for this condo on my own after being a travel agent for a company in my hometown and then working and traveling for United Airlines for many years. I enjoy helping people find the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. Hopefully you will be our guests and find the same beauty and peacefulness in this setting.
Why the Owner Chose Surfside Shores I & II:
We live in the midwest (Illinois) but our family loves the beach. Our 5 grandchildren and we make many happy memories at our condos in Gulf Shores. This complex...Surfside Shores has the most convenient set-up with the beach sand coming all the way up to the swimming pool deck. Convenience is important to us. We bought this property because Gulf Shores and this complex is family friendly and there is so much for each family member to enjoy.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
While staying at Surfside Shores we all enjoy the heated pool and the youngest members of the family enjoy the kiddy pools. When we want fresh seafood or a yummy steak we use the grills and then eat at our beachfront table on our balcony. We sit in the living room or on the balcony and watch the dolphins swim past or see the fishermen pulling in a fish. If we're up early the surise is always awesome and everyone enjoys watching the beautiful sunsets.
