The condo was great for our family. The beach was easy access which was great for kids. The pool on property was a nice change of pace in the late afternoon as the sun went behind the building. We really enjoyed the ability to walk to dinner. The check-in and out process was one of the easiest we’ve ever had (thank you!).

Hangout Fest 2023

We chose this condo due to how close it was to the festival grounds. The condo was perfect and location was awesome! Parking was a bit confusing at first but we quickly got things worked out. We will definitely consider this place for future travels!

About the host

Hosted by Dianne Russell

Host profile image
I love the beach and want my guests to enjoy staying in my condo as much as my family and I do. I've tried to make everything comfortable and easy for you to relax and enjoy your vacation.

Why they chose this property

Most of my guests are repeat renters because they love my unit and the small, comfy complex. We only have 18 units, which means the beach or the pool is never crowded and there is plenty of parking. There are 6 restaurants and 5 souvenier shops within walking distance. You can actually park your car and walk everywhere you need to go except the grocery store (and there's a small convenience store across the street). Southern Sands is the beat location in Gulf Shores!

What makes this property unique

We're close to everything...The Hangout, The Pink Pony Pub, restaurants, shopping, the zoo, and Waterville.
