The Cove202 was a fine place for us (2 adults, 3 children) to rally after a day of beaches and seeing what gulf shores has to offer. We could ferry over to Dauphin Island for the day and walk to the beach everyday after dinner.I loved that beach life felt so accessible from our little hub, and that the pool awaited us, upon our return. We found ourselves equipped with skim boards and beach chairs, if needed. The environment was overall quiet and family friendly, “friendly” being the main experience around the pool and as we engaged with other vacationing neighbors, leaving and returning.The rep for COVE202 was incredibly responsive, offering to go above and beyond for the smallest thing. The spiral staircase, as in any VRBO, is challenging for the skinniest and most athletic among us. That said, COVE202 was clean when we arrived and well adapted as a family vacation hub.Notes: Parking was adequate, and air conditioning was good.

Great First Trip

This was our first time to Gulf Shores. I was traveling with my teen daughter and her friend. This location was safe and I never worried about a thing. Location was perfect and the pool was a great addition. I would book this again!

The condo was extremely clean and was just as described. Owner was fast to respond to all if my questions. It was only a short walk to the beach. My family and I really enjoyed staying there and will stay again in the future.

Great stay!

Unit was exactly as described. Owner was very easy to contact and eager and willing to answer any questions we had or fix any issues. The complex is older but the unit is redecorated and very modern.

Cute getaway!

Besides a little sand in the showers it was very clean! Renee was very prompt to taking care of a clogged drain. The condo is very close to the beach and also walking distance to a coffee shop and convenience store. Would definitely stay again! It was the perfect place to rest after a long day at the beach!

Great place in Gulf Shores

This was a really nice place in the heart of Gulf Shores, across the street from the beach and convenient to everything else. There's a quiet walking path right out the door that runs near the lagoon. Comfortable bed, kitchen with everything, washer/dryer and very good WiFi. I didn't need the upstairs but the extra level and extra beds/bath would be perfect for a family. For the couple of small problems that arose during my lengthy stay, the owner was very responsive and they were quickly resolved.

The process was easy and property manager super nice! The only thing that a bit unrelaxing was when trying to unwind and sleep you could hear screams and noise from the pool. Other than that it was excellent!

We enjoyed our time there. Could have handled the pool parties better. We could not swim in pool because the young men drinking and foul mouthing. Not appropriate for families.

Thank you for taking the time to review The Cove C202. We were not made aware of a pool party during your stay. The Cove does not allow such activities and we would have certainly helped to remedy the situation had we been notified. The pool at The Cove is a community pool and very family friendly. We encourage all our guests to reach out directly with any issues during their stay as we strive to make sure your vacation is amazing!

Just what we needed for our stay during the Shrimp Festival!

As a vendor for the National Shrimp Festival, this was just what we needed for our stay. The condo was neat, clean, and stocked with everything we needed. There was plenty of room to accommodate our party of four. The guys enjoyed hanging out there, watching football and their fav shows, while we were at the festival. It was conveniently located to the festival, restaurants, beach access, small boat launch, and more. We even stayed an extra night. I would definitely recommend! Thank you!

We stayed at The Cove for our first family trip to Gulf Shores! We had our two small children with us ages 4yrs and 18 months. The condo was clean, the Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, fridge was clean with an ice maker and the AC worked great. Bathrooms were clean and stocked well with towels and washcloths. The main level bed was comfortable! There were extra blankets and pillows and We used the sofa bed for the kids. It didn’t have much cushion to it, but I don’t expect 5 star from a fold out bed. The spiral staircase was neat! There’s a cute room upstairs that would definitely be great for older kids or if you're traveling with friends or family. It is an extremely narrow steep staircase and the railing above has wide gaps ( thinking of young children). The pool was decent ( kids enjoyed that), groceries and yummy coffee are just next door. I think our only mentioned draw back was the length of walk to the beach. I was expecting a literal walk out of the condo, walk across the street and your there! But you had to walk at least 2 blocks to the light and cross the street at the public access. Having kids with us we ended up driving and paying for parking- which was very reasonably priced and right at the entrance. The beach was lovely and not crowded. Check in and check out was super easy and Renee answered all my questions very promptly. Overall it was a good trip with good memories
