About this property

Welcome to your affordable beach vacation

Welcome to my piece of paradise! This is a 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath condo that has been renovated with new appliances and bedding. An Electronic Door Locking System (so you no longer have to keep up with a key unless you want to). Also, recently updated1st and 2nd floor.
New flooring throughout the 1st and 2nd floors and a completely renovated full bathroom. The tub has been removed and replaced with a beautiful RAIN SHOWER with glass doors and 6 individual shelves. You can now keep your stuff in the shower without packing it all up and take it back to your room.
Not to mention, but I will: brand new wood looking tile floor continued into the rain shower with two shower heads. And if that is not enough, OAK STAIR CAPS!!

Just in, another upgrade. The Master Bedroom now has a SLEEP NUMBER KING SIZE BED!!! All bedding is supplied with 600 thread count Egyptian Cotton Sheets and pillowcases along with HOTEL LUXURY thick towels and hand towels.

A fully equipped kitchen with icemaker, dishwasher and microwave. This condo is a mere 100 yards from the beach with (Deeded BEACH Access right across the street) and ALL the AMENITIES For Rent Right there such as LOUNGERS with UMBRELLAS, Banana Boat Rides, and PARASAILING!! Located on desirable East Beach Blvd.... YOU are within walking distance of numerous restaurants, including Sea and Suds:(on Pier), The Pink Pony:(on Pier), The Hangout, Mikee's Seafood, Shrimp Basket, Bicycle Rental Store, Hooters, Desoto's, SURF SIDE MARKET for your Grocery needs and many more. For those late-night munchies, Waffle House is right next door.

You will have an easy 3 block walk to The HANGOUT MUSIC FESTIVAL AND THE SHRIMP FESTIVAL. Why buy a bus pass and have to wait for it to show up with the rest of the crowds when you can avoid ALL that TRAFFIC and HEADACHE and just take an easy walk to your POOL and Condo.

Whenever you have had enough of the beach, come relax in the beautiful pool surrounded by palm trees that provide you with some shade if needed. There are three grills and picnic tables available for your grilling pleasure. There is an on-site coin operated laundry room with 5 washers and 5 dryers. You will also have (2) assigned covered parking spaces. But you are so close to so many things, you may not even need to drive anywhere. Sit back and relax.

I think you will enjoy my condo as much as I do. Thank you for YOUR Patronage.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo in Gulf Shores! The unit was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation, and the location was perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions while still being peaceful and quiet.The beds were comfortable(sleep number!), the kitchen was well stocked, and the entire condo was well maintained. The check-in and check-out process was simple, and the host was responsive and easy to work with.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a great place to vacation in Gulf Shores. Thank you for helping make our trip so enjoyable!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great location. Walking distance to the beach as well as several restaurants. We also appreciated that this condo was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Friends stayed in another condo in the same complex and they didn’t have much of any thing. Jeff was super friendly and kind on the phone. Told us all the to do and not to dos. We came for baseball so we didn’t get to see many hot spots but we will definitely be coming back and hope to stay here again in the future.

My family of 5 stayed for 4 days and we loved it. The pictures did not do it justice, everything was very clean, up to date and very well stocked. The check-in process was easy, Mr. King even called and let us know we could check in a couple of hours earlier than expected. We had plenty of room for 2 adults and 3 teenagers. The deck was very cozy and we had a great view from the master bedroom. The beach was just a short walk away as well as walking distance to stores and restaurants. It exceeded my expectations. The pool was clean and there were even toys and floaties there for the kids to use. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to vacation!! If you are looking for a review to confirm your choice, this is it!

We rented the condo while in town for a baseball tournament. The condo was great and met or exceeded all my expectations based on the description and pictures. The walk to the beach was easy and the pool was never crowded. Parking was also convenient. Our sons enjoyed the close proximity to lots of restaurants and things to do. Jeff was easy to work with and I would stay here again if we return to Gulf Shores.

Birthday trip to the Gulf

This was a great place for my stay. It was close to the beach and was convenient for getting to the shops and restaurants. The space was very clean and everything worked well. I loved the shower with lots of pressure and hot water. I really enjoyed my stay here and would come back.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
First of all, when we talked on the phone you stated. "I am the baseball mom for the team" and you were attempting to get the whole team into my complex. You stated to me that S. Alvardo was staying in my condo. This was confirmed by myself when I called her to give her information about getting into my condo when she was on her way down. So, you were never in my condo unless you were visiting S. Alvarado. Your review of my condo should be null and void. Jeff King (Owner)

Worth it!!!

If you want to be steps away from the beach but don’t want to pay ocean front prices this is the place! Not only is it conveniently located to all the local attractions the condo is beautifully updated. We enjoyed the modern kitchen, rain shower, and comfortable beds. The owner was wonderful to work with and we appreciated his kindness to our family. We will definitely book another stay in the future.
