The place was beautiful, clean and perfect for our lil group. The view of the beach and access to beach was great. Only negative was parking area, but the parking spots for 101A in my opinion, are the best ones. Loved everything and will definitely stay there again.

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores and this property made our trip perfect! The location cannot be beat as you're steps away from both the beach and the pool. The second bedroom was perfect for my children. We all loved it and cannot wait to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Marty Ross

Host profile image

Just a typical family that loves spending time together enjoying sports, camping, and just hanging out! We live in the Dallas, Texas area.

Why they chose this property

This is our 2nd property in Gulf Shores and wanted to stay with a low-density complex with parking directly at the condo. This end-unit beach-view condo overlooks the ocean and is conveniently located to all the cool places we love to visit in Gulf Shores.

What makes this property unique

The majority of units on this property are owners who stay at their condos at least a few times a year. It has a truly unique family-friendly atmosphere and we're already making new friends since purchasing Spyglass101-A.

The complex and its beach are UNCROWDED and ON THE BEACH! The shaded pool is great when you need a break from the sun, and is directly under our condo.

The private parking right beside the condo and walking inside is so much easier than parking lots and elevators!
