Before booking I messaged the host asking if there were any types of air fresheners used as well as fragranced laundry products. Not only did we find air fresheners, there was an extremely strong chemical smell coming from the master bedroom. We weren’t even able to use it!! We also found black mold in the bathroom, a candy bar on the kitchen floor, and other misc things. The location is great, the building not so much. I thought the communication was going to be great, but once we checked in they went radio silent. Extremely, extremely disappointed.

Thank you for your detailed feedback—we are truly sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident in your space, especially after you reached out in advance regarding sensitivities to fragrances. The strong odor, cleanliness concerns, and reports of mold are absolutely not acceptable and do not reflect the standards we strive to maintain. Additionally, we sincerely apologize for the lack of communication after your check-in—this is not the level of service we aim to provide our guests. Your comments have been taken very seriously, and we will be addressing each of these issues with our team immediately to ensure they are properly resolved and prevented moving forward. We truly regret that your stay was so disappointing, and we appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention.

Great place!

Great place to stay right on the beach! This was a great place for my family to stay while visiting Gulf Shores for our daughters national softball tournament. The kitchen and amenities in it was nice to be able to cook meals in the condo! We also really loved the easy access to the beach and pools!

Great for beach vacay!

We enjoyed a trip to Gulf Shores staying at this property. It was perfect for us with a beach view balcony and quick walk to a white sandy beach. We had one day with crystal clear waters and a couple of windier days with bigger waves. The beds and linens were comfortable, and the minor maintenance issues we had were addressed promptly.

We were thrilled with our stay! The condo comfortably slept four adults and three kids from 10-13. All of our rooms and bathrooms were very clean and had everything we needed for our stay.
