What a perfect place for a beach vacation. The unit is spacious, clean, and ready to use. We loved the outdoor space and used it every day. A pancake place and a seafood restaurant are on either side and just steps away. We plan to return next year for sure!
We absolutely loved it stay! The location was perfect, the condo was clean and quiet, and the view was spectacular! The host provided detailed information prior to our stay and were very kind!
Great view of Gulf of America. Have advantage to see both sun rise and sun sets. Very comfortable lodging. Feel right at home. Hosts great to work with. Highly recommend this lodging opportunity.
The condo was fantastic! It's beautifully decorated and has a million dollar view, just as described. Everything about the condo is well planned, easy in/out, great location. I would love to stay here again!
The owners of this property were incredible: quickly responded, very communicable and helpful with answers to questions and information provided in emails and website about the property and Gulf Shores. The property was accurately described via the information and photos. There were no negative surprises. It was very comfortable with a great view with plenty of room from the large balcony. Any concern about elevator wait was unfounded as the most wait was no more than /-1 minute. It was a great secure property without "legalistic" watchdogs. The property is in a great location near restaurants and shopping and very convenient for driving. We have no negative comments or concerns. I would highly recommend this property.
Great view from 17th floor (felt as if we were on a cruise ship looking out the living room window or the master bedroom floor to ceiling windows). Would stay again and highly recommend!
Visiting Gulf Shores is a treat, but when you stay at this condo, your entire experience is completely elevated. This is our second time staying here … and won’t be our last.The master bedroom looks directly out on the Gulf of Mexico every morning you awake. The balcony is very large and can be accessed via the master bedroom or the main living area. There is a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, a washer/dryer and plenty of room for seating in the main area. The condo is located within walking distance of restaurants,bars and the famous Hangout music venue. Of course, the beach is just steps away. The owners, Rhonda and Ken are very easy to communicate with and the entire property is well managed. All this, really makes this condo in Gulf Shores an easy and stress-free choice for your next vacation.
Glad your stay was nice. With your walker, perhaps the regular parking spaces did not allow you sufficient room?! As previous reviews indicate, parking is not a problem at this complex. Hopefully, you can acquire a handicap pass, so in the future you can park in those larger handicap parking spaces.
The property was amazing! Great views, clean rooms, beach access, and we were within walking distance or a short drive of plenty of restaurants and shops. Would absolutely stay here in the future!
This place is beautiful.. Very spacious better than the pictures can show. Had a great time here and no doubt, we will be back. I will definitely tell friends and family about this beautiful vacation spot. I would like to thank the owners for the opportunity to enjoy a perfect birthday week with my wife.
We had a little trouble contacting the host but he assured us he was going to make sure his contact information was assessable. He was very responsive once we were able to contact him.The view is amazing and the bed is one of the most comfortable of all the VRBO’s I’ve stayed inl

Fabulous that you loved the view and found the bed comfortable. As for trouble contacting us, such as with all of our reservations, we respond directly after a reservation is created via email, and also provide the check-in information two weeks prior to arrival via email. So, if you are referring to when you called us because you had entered the Wi-Fi code incorrectly (without utilizing case sensitive letters), and when we could not answer immediately, you went to the front desk to ask them, please know we cannot be on demand, yet certainly try our best and always provide accurate, imperative information.
Rented this condo for just one night to attend a concert at the Wharf, but could totally see myself staying here for an entire week! Great location, very comfortable, wonderful amenities.
We had a wonderful experience staying here. The condo is beautiful and the views can't be beat!

Why they chose this property
We chose this property because of its stately exterior architecture, and the unique spacious floor-plan, with the master bedroom overlooking the sights and sounds of the Gulf of Mexico.
As well, we adore the urban beach community living that Gulf Shores has to offer. We love walking though the white sands of the gulf, and being able to have the opportunity to walk to all local stores and markets for essentials and specific needs.
We also own property in Orange Beach, and love all of the areas along the Gulf Coast here and wanted to connect the stretch of beach and beauty between Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
What makes this property unique
Wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-ceiling views are breath taking and all overlook the Gulf, with a massive stretch of stunning shoreline.
Immediate access and adjacency to restaurants, music and shopping - all within easy walking distance (street or beach side).
