Great condo!

Great location within walking distance of everything we needed! The condo was well stocked and had everything we needed to make it a great stay. We had an issue with being locked out one evening and the owner answered immediately and fixed it on the spot (great service). Would definitely book with them again. Beach distance and use was perfect as well!

Amazing Trip

Another amazing trip to the Gulf Shores area. Such an awesome area. Condo was incredible. Furnishings, cleanliness, location, amenities, etc were all top notch. Emily was a pleasure to work with and communication after a small issue I caused was very quick. Could not have been more pleased. We will definitely look to book this condo again when returning to the area. Thanks Emily!

Beautiful condo

Beautiful condo. Very comfortable beds. Huge shower in master. Easy access to beach and stunning views. Would stay here again. I was surprised that we only had two rolls of toilet paper and no extra trash bags for kitchen trash for a 4 night stay with 4 people. Owner said it was an oversight by the housekeeper but you may want to bring extra.

Best San Carlos Condo

This is the fourth different unit at San Carlos we have stayed in and is by far the best. If you want a unit that looks professionally decorated instead of the typical beachy kitsch, this is the condo for you. The owner was very responsive to our questions and helpful. We will definitely return next year!

Wonderful experience

This is the prettiest, cleanest, and wonderfully decorated condo with lots of special touches from owner. The pool was beautiful, great size with partial shade and more pool chairs than most condos. Great beach setup with very friendly staff on beach and with helping me with printing of parking passes on arrival. I would seriously consider planning vacation dates around availability of this unit!
