This was the nicest, cleanest, most updated condo. Very spacious for a family trip and a wonderful view of the ocean. And the beds are sooooo comfy! The owners were quick to respond to any messages. Will definitely make sure we rent this place again the next beach trip we take!

A beautiful condo. Big balcony overlooking the beach. Amazing sunrises. Be aware; there is an outdoor pool but it is not heated. Water was ice cold but we swam anyway. Also my husband is in a wheelchair so it would have helped to have automatic or push button door openers around the property. He got around great in our condo. Many restaurants close by. Highly recommend.

The condo was clean and just as described. It had a large balcony with plenty of seating. It was perfect to listen to the ocean and watch the waves roll in.The property was clean,the elevators were larger than most and air conditioned , a convenient ice bin (you pay for), and the pool was clean.

Clean, good location, property is nice but you have to pay 50 to park your car and if the property is full , you have to park across the street which is hard to cross in heavy traffic. Only other thing was the towels and linen are cheap and rough.

This is a great property! We are a family of eight and we had plenty of room. The location is a plus’s, close to entertainment, dining and souvenir shopping. The condo was clean and the pool is very nice as well. The only drawback if you consider it one is the ice maker was very slow. Not a big deal we just purchased bags of ice. We definitely will stay here again if available when we come to Gulf Shores.

Lovely place on the beach

This was our first trip to Gulf Shores and The San Carlos was a perfect place to stay. Great location near plenty of restaurants and shops. The pool was perfect, loved the partial canopies to stay in the shade even while in the pool. We'll be back!
