The building is an older property but my family loved the pools and access to the beach. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean upon arrival but the floors, behind the beds and under furniture hadn't been cleaned well. Location was down the road from the public beach which made for a relaxing quiet vacation. The kitchen had everything we needed and parking was very convenient. I would recommend for a family vacation getaway.
This unit could use a really good deep cleaning! When we first got there we stuck to the floor, from a large black sticky spot, we were able to clean ourselves with wash rag. Lots of dust and cobwebs too. Also-The unit is right outside elevator doors, so any and everyone using the elevator is heard.
Everything was great other than the tub didn't drain and we only had 6 forks, so had to wash every time we ate. I sent a msg to owner and was told a maintenance ticket would be put in. They never came while we were there.
Condo is as beautiful as the pictures show. Views from the master bedroom and living room are breathtaking. Big nice balcony with plenty of seating. All updated appliances in the beautiful kitchen. Master had a very comfortable king size bed, with an oversized walk in shower. Loved the airconditoned walkway over the street to the beach. Only downside to the condo was the balcony doors from the living room were hard to open and the bath towels were on the small side. So I highly recommend this condo, just bring your own bath towels, and enjoy it as much as we did.
My family enjoyed the condo and the amenities. The only downside was the master bedroom bed, the box spring needs replacing as it makes noises when you sit or move on the bed; other than that everything was as expected.

Fantastic condo!
This condominium was perfect. We were very appreciative of the high-end decor & personal touches-It’s obvious that this place is well-loved. The view of the Gulf was beautiful & so calming to wake to each day. Access to the beach was convenient & seamless. My family and I will definitely return.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
We were evacuated from PCB during Hurricane Michael and were scurrying to find a place to stay for the remainder of our fall break when we found this wonderful condo at Gulf Shores. The condo is even better than described and we are planning our next vacation already. If you have kids or just want a more family oriented vacation, Gulf Shores it the place to be! and we definitely recommend this condo. It has everything you need including a beach front pool!

Condo was very nice and as pictured. Furnishing were nice quality.
The property was one of the nicest on the beach. My family really liked the fact that there was a beach side pool. We also liked that there was beach chairs you could rent in front of the condo.

Our First Trip to Gulfshores!!!
I want to start by saying that I love the location of this property. We stayed the week after the Fourth of July. There were no issues with noise or with long wait time for elevators. This unit was well stocked with everything you need to feel right at home. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. All of the appliances worked. No issues with anything that is worth mentioning. This unit is beautifully decorated and I can tell that the owners really care about providing a memorable experience for all of their guests. I highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a fun filled getaway.

Great place to stay
The property was great as it was shown. Access to the pool was very easy across the walkway and the pool was better than any we saw at Gulf Shores. I would recommend this property.
