"This was an excellent condo. Indoor and outdoor pools were great. The boardwalk made it easy to get to beach for a short walk across the sand. Emily whom I had contact with was great she kept us updated and sent reminders as what needed to be done at check out. Also our condo had garage parking which was a plus. If you want a quiet stay I would highly recommend this condo for families with any age groups."

"Condo was perfect, close to everything but far enough away that it was quiet. The bedrooms are roomy and a bathroom for each bedroom gave everyone the space they needed. The code to get onto the 2nd floor needs some serious work. We only got it to work once. Had to go out towards the beach and go into the pool that way. We would book through beachball again if there are changes to early check in policy. The condo was empty and I offered to pay for the early check in but was told no. I would...

"Accurate listing with everything you’ll need for a great stay! Jonathan was easily reachable via text! The view is breathtaking- just don’t look down - you’ll realize just how high up twenty floors is! Lots of space for everyone to spread out.
Plenty of parking - including some covered. Fast elevators and plenty of carts. Those reasons alone are ones to return for!"

"Master Bedroom mattress very noisy, might need replacement. Lots of kitchen supplies wonderful. Feel perhaps a notebook with some condo details might be good. 1. operation of stove, 2. Codes for the gates 3. Code to get to level 2 and the pool via the elevator. Condo was clean and in great shape. Great furniture on deck. Hope to book again for 2027"

"The pictures of the view from the condo don’t do it justice. From the couch you can see the beach for a very long way and down the beach road and Gulf Shores Parkway (all the way to Waterville). The owners were absolutely wonderful. There was anything you could need in the kitchen and then some. Unlike the other high rises we’ve stayed in, we never had to wait for elevators! The condo was furnished well. It is my favorite place we’ve stayed in GS and we will definitely be back."
