Great location to the beach. Wasn’t impressed with the surrounding area as far as bars and restaurants. Pink pony pub is a dump. Dirty. Over priced and quality of food is subpar. Checking in was easy but having to drive to a separate location is not convenient. Room itself was spacious and clean.

Perfect location to walk on beach, 2nd floor was great, elevator a bit pokey, but no big deal. Unfortunately, no washer and dryer in condo, so bring plenty of clothes and outside chairs for beach. Great balcony. So clean. We loved it!

Nice Stay on the Beach

Great location and great communication with management.. Furnishings are a little dated and TV rather small and only a half roll of toilet paper in each restroom and no coffee filters. Nice stay overall.

The condo is cute, seems to have been remodeled recently. Location is excellent!!!!! Balcony is small; no more than 2 people can sit comfortably on it. Main issue we had was not enough plug in outlets; we had to move furniture to get them. Over all stay was good! Would recommend.

Great Place in the Perfect Location

We loved our stay at the Island Shores. The condo was perfect for what we needed for three adults and two children under 5. The property management company was super responsive and communicated very well during our stay, not to mention they were less than 10 minutes from the condo. The best part- the location! We noticed we were on a much less crowded side of Gulf Shores & also within walking distance of a great restaurant next door. I would look to stay here again for our next vacation

Great locations and views.

I thought location was great…morning breakfast with a beach view each morning. Small issue annoying is that you have to go pick up keys and then drop off. They rental company is not near condo so you need to take into especially if you need to get to an airport.

Nice place

Loved the location and views. Clean unit, given number to call if any problems. Great communication from property managers. Only issues were smokers on balconies and leaf blower for sand at 6:30 each morning (obviously not the home owners fault) We prefer keyless entry as opposed to a key, so that we don’t have to keep track of a key at the beach and so that we don’t have to make a separate trip to the rental company to pick up and return it. Overall, a great condo!

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you loved the location, views, and found the unit clean with good communication.

Location was hard to beat. Room was nice with an amazing view. Just a little heads up. There aren’t many easily accessible plug-ins in the bedroom and no overhead lighting. Only lamps. Not a major issue but sometimes hard for my older eyes to see when getting ready😂
