Beautiful view. Very peaceful. Balcony and location was the best. Some updates / maintenance to the unit are needed from normal rental usage to the couch & lamp shades in living room, mirror in master bath. Washing machine didn't work while we were there but notified Scott right away on that.Indoor pool area is in need of updates as well.

The balcony was nice but if sitting or lounging the railing does obstruct the view. The boardwalk to the beach is right below unit so not much privacy while sitting on the balcony. The kitchen was not very well stocked with utensils. The AC unit is very loud while running! But overall the unit was nice and beds were comfortable.

Great location!

Fantastic location next to Gulf State Park. Easy beach chair rentals and not as crowded on beach. Condo is nice with what you need. Balcony is perfect but furniture out there desperately needs new pillows. “Luxury” is not the word I’d use for this property but perfectly nice and excellent location.

Already planning next trip!

Will definitely be back! The balcony view is absolutely wonderful. We saw dolphins several days while there. Beds were very comfortable which is not always the case in house rentals. Condo had everything we needed and Scott was clear in his instructions for check in / check out. Hope we can make another trip before summer is over! Thank you for hosting us!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location is great, the beds are comfortable, and we really enjoyed having our meals out on the spacious balcony. It was nice to have such easy access to the beach and rinsing station.I would not describe the condo or the property as luxury. The condo needs a deep clean and updates. The pool area needs renovating, especially the drainage system. There was standing water all around the pools and hot tub during our entire stay.Scott was very kind, responsive to concerns, and scheduled a handy man to fix a few issues during our stay.

Nice

While I would not describe this condo as a luxury condo it was fine for myself, my husband and sister in law. I agree with some of the previous reviews about some minor upgrades to improve it overall, but for us we mostly stayed on the beach and ate meals and slept here. It was a busy time of year so get a spot on the beach early. Nice being next to the state park. Restful and enjoyable.

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Host profile image
My wife and I raise our 3 beautiful kids in Nashville, TN. My wife introduced me to the Smokies years ago, where our hosting journey began when we bought a cabin to share with our wonderful guests. Next we took our hosting to the beautiful sugar sand beach of Gulf Shores, a place we've visited since we first met in college, and our favorite beach and food escape. Then our family of Disney fans expanded to the most magical place on Earth, right next to Walt Disney World in Kissimmee, FL. We now co-host properties for owners like us, as we love providing great moments and memories to families and friends.

We are blessed to be on this journey and called to serve others in this way. We know these areas well so let us know if you ever have any questions, and we hope to have the privilege of hosting you!
