We had a wonderful stay in this condo. It was easily accessible, in the perfect location, very clean, super comfortable, and our host was great! This unit is on the beach and I loved that it isn't part of a super highrise condo complex. We NEVER had to wait more than a minute or two for an elevator! This will definitely be our first choice of places to stay again!

Great location and wonderful stay.

We wanted a clean, comfortable place close to beach with great view and we got it. The location to restaurants, shopping, and walking to fun activities made it perfect. The owners were great to work with. We are already planning next stay.

Good experience

The place was clean and had an amazing view of the ocean. Pool was nice as well but they shocked it one of the days there so we couldn’t use it. Access to the beach was quick and easy. Only 1 elevator and it was slow was the only downside.

Great Location, Great Place to Stay!

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Island sunrise. The unit we stayed in was very clean and very neat. It is so easy to access the beach. One of the unexpected amenities was the pod style coffee maker. Did not expect to see that, even though we did bring our own pods.The only thing I would recommend would be for the owner to upgrade the mattress in the main bedroom. He left a lot to be desired from a comfort standpoint.Other than that, we had a wonderful day and would certainly go back and do it again.

I wanted a location close to The Hangout for the teens, safe for the young kids, and near Walmart for all the groceries and beach goodies we needed. This condo checked all those boxes besides having a beautiful view and a pretty, clean condo. I will definitely be back!

Location was perfect

The location of condo and being beachfront was ideal. You can open the door and hear waves your entire stay. Overall the property was as listed and we had a great time. The only suggestion would be an update to the bathtubs as they seem to be only thing not renovated over time in the property. Again, the location was fantastic property was as listed. We had a great family vacation.

Fun in the Sun

Property and condo were smaller than expected but ended up being a plus because the beach was not as crowded as larger properties. Condo wasn’t cleaned when we got there but property manager rectified very quickly with cleaning crew cleaning and disinfecting very well. Condo had all amenities needed and great view. The property had a very friendly family oriented clientele. Everything you need is not far from condo including kids entertainment, food and restaurants. Would book again.

Best trip ever

Everything was perfect about this condo! From location, amenities, cleanliness, everything was updated and modern and we had absolutely everything we could need! ONLY issue was cable in the guest room didn’t work but we weren’t in the room enough to care to call the cable company so it wasn’t a big deal for us. Myra was amazing for any and all questions we had. We will definitely be back! Thanks for allowing us your gorgeous piece of heaven for the week!

Perfect setup and location

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores and we were extremely pleased with the location of this property. You have sidewalks to walk to many restaurants and a grocery store…I would suggest walking when you can in the evenings traffic can get pretty thick. The building offers a pool for when you need a break from the saltwater and convienent carts to bring up luggage and groceries to your condo. As for the condo we loved the layout! Master was split from the guest bedroom. Worked out perfectly for our 12 yo to have her space on the bunk beds and 10 yo to have the separate full size to himself. The master had a great view of the ocean AND you can hear the waves:) We will definitely try to stay in this unit again when we return to Gulf Shores!

Unit was not ready

When we arrived a few minutes after our 3:00 check-in time, the condo had not been cleaned. The dirty linens were lying in the floor, dishwasher was full of dirty dishes, bathrooms dirty, etc. After several calls and messages to the owner, we finally received a call back. She contacted housekeepers and said they should be there by 5:00. We had already picked up groceries but could not use the condo. This also meant that we could not enjoy the beach as we had planned. Housekeepers arrived and did a "basic" job of cleaning. The second bathroom did not appear to have been cleaned at all -- towels were replaced and beds made. I actually cleaned the kitchen and bathrooms myself. The dishes were left in the dishwasher and we had to start it. Owner apologized but did not offer to compensate us for the lost time. The location is great but we would not book this unit again.
