About Gary & Laura Merello
Beaches were always our passion. We couldn't wait to travel to new tropical settings. The tranquility and beauty always puts us in proper perspective of appreciation for the gifts of nature.
After the first trip to Gulf Shores Alabama, we knew it was a place we wanted to return again and again.
We've love visiting by ourselves, with our family (10 grandchildren) and friends. The beach never disappoints us.
Gary & Laura Merello purchased this condo in 2005
Why Gary & Laura Merello chose Alabama
The first year after taking an early retirement we bought our first Gulf Shores Condo (Our other 1 bedrm listing is 25459) It's always been a peaceful beach get-away. Away from the normal tourist congestion but with numerous actives a short drive away. It seems like every trip we make, we find new Gulf Shore friends in the complex and new places to explore. We've always enjoyed our beach get-away.
What makes this condo unique
The complex has enough amenities that you can stay at condo, relax and eat-in. But the local wildlife, restaurants, actives and nightlife offer some wonderful choices worth seeking out.
We love the Buffett-sound and the southern-country rock. These musical talents are well showcased in Gulf Shores.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Kim and I have enjoyed our stay and sad we have to go home tomorrow but I guess all good things must come to an end. Just wanted to let you know that we plan on leaving around 6:00 am tomorrow. Not sure if you have someone checking in tomorrow but wanted to give you a heads up to give extra time to get the condo ready if needed.
Had a question...what kind of mattress is in the master bedroom? My wife has had issues with her back her whole life and says she's never slept better. We've been thinking of buying a new mattress for our home so we're curious.
Thanks so much for opening up your condo for us. We've had a great time and sad to leave tomorrow.

Excellent place in a beautiful area
We loved the place, the house was clean and had everything we needed for a perfect stay
Great Time
My wife and I had a great stay with our 1 1/2 yr old. Our stay started on a holiday weekend, so it was a pretty busy place the first couple of days, but then there was quite a bit less people the rest of the week. The condo was very nice and "homey" feeling. It was quiet inside even with all the foot traffic outside the first few days. The beach was beautiful and easy access. The only somewhat negative thing we found, which may not be for a lot of people who stay in a condo, was just how secluded the area was in the fact we had to drive almost 30 min to get to a store of restaurant. Otherwise we had a great time, and wouldn't second guess doing it again.
Fantastic experience! Beach is amazing and place is perfect!
Perfection
Comfy, Cozy, Contemporary & Clean!
We spent 7 great nights at the Merello's Gulf Shores condo in June and loved it. We were a big bunch of six (2 adults, 4 kids), but the two bedrooms and living area gave us all plenty of space when we weren't down at the beautiful beach. The condo was exceptionally clean and modern with updated appliances and bathrooms, and was very tastefully appointed. We've stayed in some clunkers before, but this place was a breath of fresh (ocean) air. Comfortable beds, nice linens, flat screen TVs, and lots of nice personal touches. The complex is great, with multiple pools (indoor and outdoor), and beach access is a close and convenient walk across the boardwalk through the dunes. If you want to grill there are several BBQs, or even better there is a great little casual restaurant that has great breakfast, light fare, and tasty tropical drinks to take down to the beach. Five stars from us; we can't wait to go back next year!
Very nice and clean
The property was very nice, clean, pools were well keep and beautiful.
Loved the more secluded area and beach. Difinately would consider staying there again.
We love Gulf Shores Plantation!
This is the second time we have stayed at Gulf Shores Plantation. We love the closeness to the beach and the options of pools and amenities. Being down further from town means less crowds. This unit was just as we expected it would be and we really enjoyed our stay! I would recommend this highly to anyone looking for a vacation getaway!
