!!Lots of sand and flip flops !! Beautiful Luxury Condo 3BD 3BA

Condo was beautiful and well maintained. The third bedroom actually has a bunk bed with queen on top and bottom, as well as a twin bed. Best of both worlds... Short walk to the beach and right on the lagoon. Literally steps from the pool. Both pools are wonderful and the hot tub is great. We loved this quieter, less congested end of Gulf Shores. Communication with Greg is excellent. Response to calls and emails was super fast. We will gladly book this condo again.

This property has so many wonderful things about it! It is very spacious and beautiful. It was very clean and updated. Very convenient to everything. The pools and grounds are great. The fishing pier is also a great option. The private beach access was convenient and easy. Beach was perfect! The staff were all very nice and helpful. We had an absolute perfect experience and definitely plan to stay here again.

My family of 6 stayed in this beautiful condo for our annual vacation. We chose the lagoon side because two of our boys enjoy fishing, another kiddo prefers the pool, and our daughter is a collegiate athlete and needed access to a gym. The slightly lower price point was also a plus. The condo had a lot of positives: beautifully decorated, very clean, well stocked, and just a short walk across to the beach.

We did have a few hiccups. We arrived just before 1 am. Shortly before we arrived, a terrible storm with lightening caused the elevator to not work. Since the condo is on the 2nd floor, that shouldn't have been a problem, but the doors from the stairway to each floor are locked. After several attempts to call the owner, I finally got the idea to call the property manager (whose information I found while desperately snooping around for a number) who graciously got out of bed and helped us enter the property. The property manager's contact was not included in the email instructions and would have been helpful. There were some small issues that I pointed out to the owner that hopefully he will address, but I never heard back from him regarding the suggestions. Also, there are some slight discrepancies in the property description and the actual property that need to be corrected.

*The 3rd bedroom description says "two double beds." It is actually two twin beds. Not too big of a deal, but our 6'5" son was a bit cramped. And not sure where 2 extra adults would sleep since it says it sleeps 8.

*There are extra pillows which is great; however, there were no extra linens and no mention of that in the description. You will need to bring your own.

*The description of the Outside includes an Outdoor Grill. There is no grill. In fact, the property does not allow grills.

*The description says, "There is nothing between you and the beach." That is not an accurate description. There is a parking lot, the street, and a private walkway between you and the beach. No big deal but misleading.

* There is a trash truck that comes every single night around 3:30 am. And it is loud. Very loud. Like heard over two fans loud. And can be heard in the two bedrooms facing the parking lot. It can be heard in the 3rd bedroom if you are a light sleeper.

*Chair service must be done through the property manager. No outside chair service is allowed; however, you may bring your own

Bottom line, I would recommend this property but wanted to bring awareness to some minor issues.

Only glitch was parking. Our understanding was that it came with 2 passes and we purchased a third pass for $35 which we never received, resulting in a parking violation from security for the third car that arrived a day after us. This needs to be made clearer in the contract and was never resolved.

Unit 201 at Bel Sole is great. Our family had a great time. Two pools, across the street from the beach. A few minute drive from the center of town. Perfect.
