Thank you for your review. We are so very happy to hear that the location exceeded your expectations. We would love to host your family again to share our beautiful beaches and Gulf.
This condo was amazing! So much attention to detail in the decor. I love how it was right by the elevator, and we never heard any noise being in the proximity to the elevator. The furniture was comfortable, and the master bath was gorgeous!

So happy you enjoyed your stay with us, and we welcome you back again soon. Vivian
The condo was perfect! Awesome location, very clean and nicely decorated. It didn’t feel like a rental - felt like you were a guest in someone’s home. We loved the beautiful view of the ocean from our balcony and that we were in walking distance to everything.
Would definitely stay again!! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Thank you for the kind review. We are so glad to hear that the property was perfect for your vacation stay. The views are awesome, most definitely. We do hope you will visit again at our home.
This property was absolutely amazing!! The location was top notch, the check in process was smooth and easy! The room is right off of the main elevator, beach and pool access is right off the elevator as well. The hotel room was so clean, very well decorated, stocked with all of the essentials and more! Every single person that we interacted with could not have friendly and more helpful!
We can’t wait to stay here again!!

We hope that we can host you again soon and share some more of our southern hospitality.
Everything was great and it was to spend time with family. The only thing was it was not the cleanest. Both ceiling fans need cleaned.

We hope you enjoyed your stay with us, and enjoyed the Shrimp Festival So sorry about the guest room tv. We don't like things like that to happen with our guests, but certainly appreciate your understanding. Please come back and stay with us again.
We had a great time in Gulf Shores. The condo is beautiful but we were not told that it was directly across from the elevator. My daughter & son-in-law said it was a little noisy as they slept in one of the rooms facing the elevator. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes & appliances. The queen bunk beds were great for the older grandkids. Of course the beautiful view and great location was wonderful.

We welcome great guest like you and come back again soon.
Our family had 4 different condos at San Carlos but your condo was voted the best of the 4. Everything was perfect. I would suggest that you get another set or cooking knives as the ones that are there are there do not cut well.
Other than that I want to make this condo our annual condo when we go to Gulf Shores.

Thank you for your review, Terri! We have taken note of your concern regarding the kitchen knives and we will make sure to address it as soon as possible. We are thrilled to hear that you are planning to return annually, and out of the 4 condos you rented, you voted ours as the best! We truly appreciate your wonderful feedback and it will be our honor and pleasure to host you again!
Down side check in instead of parking pass and bracelets being left in room as prior visits this time had to go to third floor and pay $50.00 per parking pass this should have been in rental payment and left in room this is a negative

So sorry for your disappointment, the parking pass and bracelets are handled by the HOA and are out of our control. Vivian
The unit was very welcoming upon arrival with bottled waters, a tote bag and soft lights on. The kitchen was extraordinarily equipped. I found every single item I could possibly need. We could walk to most places we went during our visit and the beach was very easy to access through the garage of the building. The walking path along the beach was great with numerous restrooms along the way. Only down side to the beach experience was being limited to a 7 foot umbrella. Wish I had known this beforehand.

Thank you for your review. We are so glad you liked our guest welcome gift. We enjoy our guests and hope you visit with us again.
The beach rules sometimes aren't liked by everyone. The canopies can be larger but umbrellas are limited to 7ft. The rules are set by the City and we don't have control over this issue. Basically it so all visitors have a chance to have shade on the beach without completely blocking the views.
The view was beautiful and the property was clean. The condo was furnished nicely and the kitchen was stocked nicely. I was stay here again.
