About the host

Hosted by Dan & Marlene Waskiewicz

Host profile image
Dan & I have been married for 42 years and are blessed with two daughters & two grandchildren. We are the proud owners of Unit #1150. We reside in MI so we have escaped to vacation in Florida & other tropical islands every year. We finally decided to see what family & friends have been telling us about "Gulf Shores". At the last minute I booked a weekend reservation at Gulf Shores Plantation. We simply and completely fell in love with this resort. Before we left, we put an offer to purchase Unit #1150 and the rest is history! We love the tranquility here. You cannot find that feeling in many places. We also like the fact that you are able to stay at the resort and lounge all day due to all the amenities here or in minutes be in the hustle & bustle. As experienced renters, we know how to treat our guests, exactly the way we would like to be treated. We pride ourselves on keeping our unit immaculate, updated and comfortable. We appreciate The Plantation's security measures and the maintenance is top notch. We hope you will enjoy our condo as much as we do! Simply read my reviews from all my guests! They tell the "real story".

Why they chose this property

After renting and looking for the perfect property for many years, it took us only one day to determine this property was the one. When you arrive on vacation, that's exactly what you want to do "VACATION". There were so many times when we would arrive at a rental and it certainly was NOT what was indicated in the pictures. My family would be so upset with me because there were a few places I adamantly refused to stay in. Believe me when I say that won't happen if you choose to stay in our unit. What you see IS what you get. Before you leave, you will be planning to come back! Furthermore, at The Plantation the buildings were developed in phases. Unit #1150 is located in the West Buildings. In 2015 the West Buildings were completely stripped and renovated & our windows were replaced. In 2020, after hurricane "Sally", the West buildings now have a new blue roof and many more renovations have occurred. We are always working on keeping our phase in a "top notch" condition. There are two sets of buildings in the West section. The ones in the back building are cozy, one bed units, some have lofts. The ones to the side (where we are) are angled so you have a great view of the courtyard. Our patio is on ground level and a majority of what you are viewing is the beautiful landscape and the pools. There are glimpses of the ocean too. Our patio is a bit more secluded because the sidewalk swings out around the volleyball area. This definitely is a "plus". You do not have other guests walking directly in front of your patio and you certainly can enjoy sitting out in your PJs in the morning with your coffee.

What makes this property unique

Families love it here because there are so many things to do on the property "together". We see couples enjoying all the amenities as well. The resort is large enough for all to enjoy and you will never feel cramped or crowded on our private beach or at any of the pools. The great thing is that you don't ever have to venture out if you don't want to. You can stay in your bathing suit all day long and barbecue right outside your unit on one of the many grills & eat at the picnic tables. There are also restaurants on the resort property. There is a bar/grill at the Kiva Dunes & right off one of our boardwalks is the Sassy Bass Amazin' Grill. So convenient to walk up in your bathing suit & dine at the new outside patio or take frozen drinks & meals out to the beach. If you have a bit of energy left, you can throw on a T-shirt & turn left out of the resort & head down to Tacky Jack's or another Sassy Bass restaurant just minutes down right on Ft. Morgan Road. There are also many more conveniences right on Ft. Morgan Road such as Dollar General, small grocery stores & pizza delivery (no large stores on this beautiful peninsula). OR drive 15 minutes into the heart of Gulf Shores, do some souvenir shopping & try out one of the many fantastic restaurants with the fresh catch of the day or a bit of southern cuisine and of course a "Bushwacker". The seafood in this area is phenomenal. The southern cooking & hospitality is refreshing. There is definitely something for everyone here. Y'all have to come down and see for yourselves!
