The condo was perfect for our needs. The king bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything needed to get by for a week away from home. We enjoyed the balcony, the furniture was nice to lounge around and to sit and have breakfast with such beautiful ocean views! The elevator was quick and we never had any issues with long waits or crowding. We appreciated the carts to use for loading and unloading. I have nothing bad to say! We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Great kitchen. Very quiet condo; stayed 41 nights, never heard the upstairs neighbors. Boardwalk is an excellent location. Sea N Suds is a very busy restaurant, customers overflow to beach in front of condo. Excellent stay; would recommend to my friends.

Great location!

Location/balcony of this condo is amazing. Access to beach is unmatched. Limited amenities inside the condo, so be prepped beforehand. Howard communicates great and provided all necessary information needed to access the condo. Great for 2 people, you may be a bit cramped for space if staying as 4 adults

Hi Maggie - thanks so much for taking time to post your kind review! I appreciate the clarification on the unavailable items you mentioned (can opener, kitchen sponge, dish soap). Those all should have been readily available, and we actually have both electric and manual can openers. My apologies for any inconvenience, and I have alerted my property manager to ensure this is corrected going forward. Please keep us in mind when you schedule a return visit to the area. We would like to earn that fifth star next time! :)

About the host

Hosted by Howard Smithson

Host profile image
We vacationed in Gulf Shores for several years prior to purchasing our first beach front vacation rental condo at Boardwalk in 2012, and we instantly fell in love with this Alabama Gulf Coast paradise. We purchased a second unit at Boardwalk in 2018. We currently live in the Nashville, Tennessee area and plan to retire in Gulf Shores.

We think you’ll love the Gulf Shores / Orange Beach area as much as we do. Our hope is for you to have a fantastic vacation experience while staying here, so much so you will want to come back and make more memories. We pride ourselves in offering great customer service with local management and maintenance contacts if needed.
