We liked mostly everything about the property! The one and only downfall was the huge water bugs that came in or attempted to come in at night!! So if the outside of the property could be be sprayed for bugs, I wouldn’t have any complaints. The owner responded quickly to my message when we wanted to extend our stay another night! The pool was nice! Would definitely stay again!

We’ve stayed at the colony club before but had a different condo. We chose this because of size. And we loved it! Clean and Great communication with the owner! She helped us get in earlier as we got in earlier than planned. Plenty of space and easy setup. We definitely plan on coming back! Thank you!!! We love the Gulf Shores!

Quiet and Peaceful Stay

We were very pleased with the spacious layout of the condo. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was roomy and very well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals if you want to "eat in." Condo is located on the ground floor which is good for elderly or handicapped people. It is located close to the Tanger Outlets for great shopping, and not too far from the beach and The Wharf in Orange Beach. All in all, it was a pleasant stay, and if staying on the beach is not important to you, I would highly recommend this condo.

About the host

Hosted by Linda

Host profile image
Linda and Phillip started this venture together in 2011. We loved the location!
We reside in Baldwin County for over 25+ years where we raised 2 wonderful children. We live just a few miles away. We enjoy staying there any chance we are able to get away.
The location is perfect easy to get around. Private setting on back porch.

Why they chose this property

Location/Location. You are right in the middle of everything Gulf Shores has to offer. The new GULF SHORES ZOO walking distance. OWA THEME PARK, WATER PARK, The TRACK Beach is 4.5 miles to put you feet in the water. Tanger Outlet Shopping Mall 4.5 miles. Great restaurant, bar, entertainment. Just about anything you would like to do.Gulf Shores has it all. Never a dull moment in Gulf Shores. Yet Colony Club feels like Home, Private, Peaceful, Family involvement and Quite.

What makes this property unique

Our condo to feel like home. Clean crisp colors with comfortable furniture. Relaxing by the pool. Evening at the Fire-pit and enjoying the Jacuzzi or play a little tennis. Being able to walk on the beautiful white sand beach at any time. We enjoy this property mostly in the off season. October, November, April and May are my favorite months here. It's not real busy then but the weather is still nice.
