Best location that we have stayed at in Gulf Shores. On the beach, mostly quiet, updated and clean, easy access! Close to restaurants and shopping. The only issue we had was that the WiFi wasnβt reliable and really weak, and created some issues with a granddaughter doing school work while spending 10 days there in October.

Very nice location and a nice unit.The only issue we had is that the door lock systemwhich is electronic, failed and locked us out 4 times during our stay. We had to find someone that could get us a new code each time.

Hello Steven,
The owner wanted to respond directly to your review.
We are happy to read that you enjoyed the condo and location! We regret to hear there were entry issues. After reviewing a log for the lock, it appears that previous lock code maintenance was the problem.
New procedures, equipment and software are now in place to prevent this in the future.
We certainly hope to welcome you again, and please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions, suggestions, or requests!
Pros: great location, updated kitchen, cute place
Cons: uncomfortable beds, loud washer/dryer, thin walls, over all loudness from other condos and traffic. Missing basic essentials. Could use some updates.

Please let us know what essentials needed! Dryer blower is now repaired as of first week of July 2024, and new cushions for deck. Another recent guest was impressed by the mattress topper, and wanted the brand! We realize preferences vary :) I have asked management to contact you regarding additional amenities, and what we should add! We will respond again with your suggestions and our solutions :) Thank you for your feedback!
In order to see the beach you had to lean out over the corner of the balcony to have a partial beach view. We really needed a broom to sweep the sand away, but there wasnβt one there. It was very pet friendly. I did learn to check the room better upon arrival. I did not check under beds until we were leaving, to make sure we hadnβt left anything and there was a half carton of cigarettes under the bed. Makes me question the housekeeping!! That, and the smelly fridge!!

Thank you for your feedback. Weβre glad you found the unit pet-friendly, but we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with the view, housekeeping, and the fridge. Your comments are very helpful, and we will address these areas to improve the experience for future guests.
Great location. Only units with letter B have beach view. Unit was βpet friendlyβ but only had a small patch of grass about 4x4 on either side of the building up by the main street. Adequate linens and towels for a weeks stay. Washer/dryer in unit was very handy. Nicely equipped kitchen. Cute beachy decor. Would stay here again if bringing pets.

Hello Donna,
We appreciate your review and feedback. We are glad you had everything you needed, during your stay. We would love to have you and your furry friends stay with us again.
Enjoyed our location. Central to everything. The WIFI was not consistant and that impacted my stay considerably. I needed to work occasionally and couldn't. Very frustra ting! Calls for a fix did not work.

Dear Lana,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our central location, providing convenient access to everything.
Regarding the WiFi issue you experienced, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it caused during your stay. After investigating further, our internet provider said it was a login issue, probably due to the confusing password, and you reported that all was well. We regret any frustration this may have caused and appreciate your understanding. We are changing the WIFI password to something less complicated.
We're continuously working to ensure a seamless experience for our guests, and we hope this won't deter you from considering us for future stays. If there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Warm regards,
Poole Team
Everything was great. Just one note that I called out was a 8 x 10 rug in the living room of a pet friendly condo. There are obviously pet owners who has allowed their animals to urinate on the rug. I contacted the owner and he appreciated me letting them know. He has removed the rug. Other than that a great place to stay right on the beach. Heated pool for those no so warm days in early April.

We're delighted that you had a wonderful time overall, especially with the heated pool for those cooler April days. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable beach getaway in the future!
This is my second time to the gulf shores. We really enjoyed our stay the place was very clean when we arrived and the location was prime. We didnβt really use the kitchen much except the frig because we ate our meals out. There are plenty of places to eat and have a cocktail very close to the condo. It seemed as if there were many renters in the building but it was quite and a good group of people. I love the beach access. The rental company was great to deal with and they made the check in process very easy. The beds were comfy and we enjoyed the evening breeze on the balcony. Thank you having us we will definitely look to see if the unit is available on our next trip!

It was immaculate and tastefully decorated. The upgrades, like the kitchen appliances, built in shower seat and 55 inch TV were an unexpected delight. The beds were king size and very comfy. The kitchen was very well equipped. The pots and pans looked new and we found everything we needed to make brownies. we were able to log into our prime account to watch movies on the television. (If you do this, donβt forget to log out again). The patio was very inviting with comfortable seating. We used it every day for coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings. This condo is very convenient to shopping and restaurants. We also found we were only 15 minutes from parasailing. (Yes, we did! ) We had an amazing visit and would definitely stay here again. Many thanks to the kind staff and owners from two old broads celebrating 40+ years of friendship.
