We really enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and right at the beach. This is my second time here but not my last. The only bad part is having to leave and go home!

No complaints about this last minute booking. The pool was clean and not crowded on July 4th weekend. The walk right out to the beach was perfect! There were rental chairs and umbrellas available. The building was safe and quiet.

We came down for my daughters birthday on Halloween... Checking in and out was easy!! The condo was clean and well stocked with every thing a family could need for a vacation. Everything from pots and pans to dishes and silverware readily available in the kitchen. Bedding was so comfortable and clean!! We slept like a baby!!Views from the balcony are beyond amazing and quick access to the sand!! This will forever be our home away from home anytime we are in Gulf Shores!

Nice location!

I loved this stay. The only area I could see needs improvement would be new flooring. The carpet in the bedroom could stand to be replaced, as well as the rug in the living room. Honestly I wish I could give this location a 4.5/5 because those two things are the only area I see that could be improved.
