Fantastic week celebration of birthdays. Great location to everything. Beach access just past pool, wish there was a pier. Great condo for our 3 people, could fit 6. Easy check in/out. Loved nightly live outdoor music across the street. The weather was wonderful, only rained one day & it was nice. We are already looking at when we can return.

Nice condo

We have stayed at the condo before and very much love the location in Gulf Shores. The low density complex and the location to the beach is perfect! The ceiling fans could stand to be updated to larger/better functioning ones. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Condo was super clean! Perfect for our family. Location was amazing, loved the Italian restaurant across the street. Only problem the VRBO site said the amenities included a hot tub and that was not the case, but wasn’t a deal breaker for us.

Surprise Birthday Trip

It was a last minute birthday trip for my daughter and it was perfect. The condo was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed. It was right on the beach with a great pool for cooling off after being in the sun all day. The owner was awesome to work with and was very accommodating! We will definitely be returning!

This is the second property we have owned in this building. Proof we love the convenience of the location!

Why they chose this property

Love the smallness of the 18 unit complex which means the beaches are never crowded and there is ample parking. Numerous restaurants and souvenir shops within walking distance. The complex is family friendly and snowbirds are welcome!

Within walking distance to Bahama Bob's, the Pink Pony Pub, The Hangout, Desoto's, The Steamer and Sea-n-Suds. There are also several souvenir shops along the way!
