This condo was really nice and was perfect for our 5 night stay, esp. for the money paid. A bargain compared to a hotel, esp w/a full kitchen! We were looking in Pensacola originally, but it was too costly for us, so we opted for Gulf Shores again. We stayed at the Plantation Resort 4 yrs ago in a similar condo that was nice, but this was even nicer! Pictures/description accurately describe the property, although the size always seems a bit different once there, but was actually perfect for 4 adults. The deck is great, very relaxing/we loved being on the 2nd fl, as we could see the ocean/oceanfront pool area very well, w/the ocean breeze not blocked by other buildings. Plus, it’s covered by the 3rd fl deck, keeping the sun/rain away. The beds are comfortable, although the master bedroom bed is a bit creaky, but we still slept comfortably. If there’s any downside, it would be that the kitchen is a bit cramped, although nice and fully equipped w/everything needed to cook full meals, which we did. Just don’t expect to have more than 1 or 2 people in it at the same time! The only other negative is that there’s 3 dumpsters right across the drive from the deck, so they got a bit noisy when emptied, but not a big deal for us. Roughly 20 min. or so down the road from Gulf Shores, it’s quiet, peaceful and out of all of the beach-town commercialization, and there’s a guard shack check-in to keep it private and secure. A HUGE plus! Also, the Mgt co. is very responsive to communication.
