The owners have a great property right on the beach. We also encountered a difficulty with someone from another unit unrelated to the hosts and they communicated quickly and made it known if the issue persisted they would make sure everything would be taken care of. Highly recommend!!!

We had a great time! The house is very well decorated, location is great, and communication with the host was easy. It’s right on the beach which made going in and out from the beach with kids easy. The porch is on the side of the building and still had a great beach view! Gulf shores has a casual and comfortable feel. We really enjoyed it! The only suggestion I have is for a new king mattress. We sank down in a hole on each side of the mattress. Overall, we would book again! Thank you!

The condo was beautiful and the kitchen had everything we needed in order to cook and eat. We could see the beach from our back porch. We had to walk through the pool and the beach was right there. The communication with the manager was phenomenal. Already in the process of booking for next year.

This was our 4th stay at 102A Spyglass condo. The Condo was clean as usual, fully furnished & most importantly, only a few steps from the beach. We enjoy the balcony with great views. The kitchen, bathrooms & bedrooms have everything you need for a great vacation experience. Highly recommend.

The condo was perfect. Excellent location. Beach access was amazing. Just a few steps away. It was wonderful sitting on the deck and being able to see the Gulf including the Dolphins that we were able to see a few times. The property was very clean and provided an amazing home away from home for the week. Donna was an amazing host. Very attentive and quick to respond to to messages. If you're staying in Gulf Shores we can not recommend this place enough. You won't be disappointed!

Enjoyed our stay. Small condominium- light foot traffic. Steps to the beach. More adult atmosphere. Saved money on room and did some excursions. We will plan to stay again. This was perfect for me and my husband.
