Not as advertised

Stayed with my family during Spring Break and although the area was great the condo was not. When we arrived the condo was filthy - sticky, dirty floors, countertops and cabinets. The walls need a good cleaning too! We spent over two hours cleaning just to get it to a place that I was conformtable having my kids stay there!! The cleaning ladies came the next day to discuss the condition of the condo only to say that they know it needs a "deep cleaning" but the owner said no! We were told there were 3 TV's and there is wifi. When we arrived on Saturday the cable on all the TV's did not work and there was no wifi!! We had to wait until Thursday before it was all turned on!! When I tried to contact Sharon she was convienantly on vacation and her cell did not work. This was my first experience renting a condo and was very, very disappointed!

Owner is incredibly easy to communicate with, friendly and responds quickly! Condo is located in a wonderful location - within walking distance to most places. We will stay here again.

Nice condo. Plenty of sleeping space. Great to have a washer and dryer and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of cooking utensils, pots and pans. Only down side was a small balcony with uncomfortable and broken chairs. ( looks like from an old dinette set?) other than that it was a good condo for the price

This condo was def not what we expected. View was nice but that was about it. Owner is very hard to get in contact with and very rude.

I rented Sharon's condo in June for a girls' trip. My two friends and I could not have stayed in a more perfect condo! I can't say enough good things about her condo--it was clean (SUPER CLEAN), well-stocked, pretty, in a great location, and comfortable. I have been coming to Gulf Shores for over 10 years, and I usually visit GS 3 or 4 times each year, so I have rented MANY condos. Sharon's is by far THE BEST. We will definitely give her repeat business. I can't wait to stay in this condo again!

WE JUST GOT HOME FROM THE BEACH TODAY. SHARON'S CONDO IS GREAT!!!! THIS IS THE BEST PLACE WE HAVE STAYED. THE LOCATION IS GREAT. THE CONDO IS VERY TASTEFULLY DECORATED AND HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED. I USUALLY NEVER SLEEP GOOD WHEN ON VACATION, BUT I DID HERE. THE BEDS ARE SUPER COMFY. THIS WILL BE WHERE WE STAY EACH YEAR. IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT RENTING THIS CONDO, I WOULD SAY DEFINITELY YES!!!!!!

We loved Sharon's Condo, we found everything we needed there. The pool was also great. I was really scared of renting directly from the owner, but this was a wonderful experience. Thanks, Suzanne

The condo was absolutely perfect. The view was fabulous and everything we needed was there. The bed was much more comfortable than my own... I wanted to bring it home with me. I'm so glad we found Sharon's condo.

Thank you for sharing your condo with us. We had a wonderful time. Everything we needed was there. It has a beautiful view and comfortable surroundings. It is scary to do cash business over the Internet, but I had nothing to worry about. Everything was handled very professionally and above board. Thanks again.

Nothing but positive comments to make about this condo! It was great! Beautifully decorated! Close to the beach! Close to town! Comfy beds! Just the perfect spot to relax with the family for a little R&R! We hope to visit this spot again next year! Thanks Sharon for providing a great condo!

Another 4 GREAT days in Sharon's condo! Everything was just as nice as I remembered, and extra clean! The sheets are extra soft. Pool and pool area are extra clean. The security guard asked us to make sure we always locked the door, so we wouldn't be a victim of theft. The only thing bad I can say, is that....we always have to go home!!! It couldn't be any easier to rent this unit! We'll be back again next year and every year!

It's hard to make a decision browsing online, and after deliberating for 2 weeks, I called Sharon about renting her unit Christmas week. I could not have made a better choice!! She is great to work with, pleasant and extremely professional. The condo is exceptionally clean, very well furnished and the location is tops. We plan to stay again in December of 07. Thanks, Sharon!!

I would recommend this condo, my family had a wonderful time. The beach was full of shells, the kids loved just walking up and down collecting all the different ones. It is beautifully decorated and had room enough for all of us. We look forward to staying here again hopefully real soon. I have told all my family and friends about this place. Thanks Ms.Sharon for everything. The Swan Family

Well Mrs. Sharon I never officially got to speak with you, because my sister, Cindy featherston, did the condo this year for all of us. This condo is very very nice, and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a wonderful place to stay at the beach. Very nice furnishings, and very clean. We really loved this complex. I really liked the security and it has a wonderful pool as well. IF we aren't living there by next summer then we may just have to rent it again!! I am really hoping to move to Gulf Shores though!! Our whole family really enjoyed our stay!! Thanks for a fantastic unit!!

This place is great. We had 7 in our party and plenty of room. The room was furnished great especially the king size beds. The view from the balcony was great. I would recommend staying here to anyone. The condo unit is very clean and a great pool. Sharon is wonderful to work with. I am ready to go back.

The condo was wonderfully comfortable and packed with beautiful furniture! It really feels more like someone's home than a "condo"! There were lots of extras. Access to the beach/pool is extremely easy and we felt really safe with the security guards roaming 24/7. It was a great visit and we plan to rent this condo again!

I cannot say enough about our week at the beach! The condo was incredible from the view, the furnishings, all the way to the pool! Even with three "big" kids, we were all comfortable and had more than enough elbow room. We were very fortunate to have such nice accomodations and hope to stay there in the future! Thanks Sharon!

My toddler and I stayed in this condo with my girlfriend, her husband and little boy. The accomodations were excellent and it was evident right away how immaculate and very nice everything was in the condo. The 2BR/2BA was the perfect size for us and the furnishings were beautiful. We had a fabulous time!

My husband and I spent our first anniversary in Sharon's condo and it was wonderful! She was great to work with and made sure you had everything you needed before heading towards the beach! The condo was beautiful, very nicely decorated and has everything you could possibly need right at your fingertips! No extra trips to the store! Also in walking distance or a very short drive to great shopping and awesome seafood! We loved staying there and will definitely stay in this condo again. Thank you Mrs. Sharon! Melissa Mayfield

What a wonderful way to take a vacation in a great condo. Sharon is so great to work with and very accomodating. My daughter and I were spending some alone time before graduation and the condo was perfect for us. In walking distance of everything. We will book again with them when that area.

Hi! If you are looking for a nice place ot stay, pick this condo unit. It was everthing I expected with a little more. The kitchen was properly furnished with everything you need. As well as the bedrooms, bathrooms, and the living area. All bedrooms had a t.v. with plenty of room to be comfortable. The view from the balcony was amazing. I know if I ever come to Gulf Shores again, I will stay here with out a doubt.

When Sharon said "you will not be disppointed" she was absolutely right. This was our third stay along the gulf--first time in Gulf Shores--and we are planning return to this condo unit next year. It has everything we'd hoped for and Sharon was fantastic to deal with.
