Perfect beach getaway!

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay in Gulf Shores at this condo. Everything was perfect; location, space, amenities. You can’t beat the ocean view and watching the dolphins mid day from our balcony! We would definitely rent again. Thank you!

Lovely view and considerate hospitality

We loved our stay here, my husband and I did. We visited Gulf Shores to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary and we are very grateful for the quality of this particular rental. We stayed for a week and felt at home at all times. First, we only discovered upon reading their guestbook that there had been guests in the condo the morning of the day we arrived. Had we not read it, we would not have had any inclination that it was recently occupied. The cleaning service did a fantastic job. The owners are very open to communication, quick to respond, and keep the place well stocked with supplies that you would probably not have thought to pack, such as a lighter or a vacuum or plastic shopping bags. There is so much consideration, you really feel like you live here. The building is well kept and you have effortless access to the beach. We appreciated the foot-washing station on the boardwalk to help keep sand under control. We chose this condo based on reviews like this and I suggest you do the same. You will only be thrilled with your choice!

Golf Shore Vacation 2025

First time visit to the Gulf. Construction at the resort but necessary for upgrades- didn’t impact our stay as we were out sightseeing most of time. Condo clean and had all amenities we required. Right on the beach. Very enjoyable.

Very nice Gulf view cozy condo

We came for the shrimp festival that we hadn't been to in over 20 years and we enjoyed our stay very much. The condo was comfortable, clean and convenient. Its decor was very homey and welcoming. That white sand beach can't be beat. There is a nice pool and hot tub, and probably the best beach shower we've ever used due to the entire floor being composed of drain tiles. We enjoyed our dinners at a restaurant that is a short five minute walk away. The ice cream parlor next door to the restaurant was very good as well. And we were close enough to New Orleans that we made a day trip there to see a museum that has been on our radar for a while.

Why they chose this property

We learned of this property from friends and family who also own in this facility.

What makes this property unique

Quiet end of the beach, but still within walking distance of the downtown area. Our small size and location provide ample beach area to spread out. Easy walk to Bahama Bob's for the best Bushwackers in town.
