Great beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo itself was a little small for a family of 4, but we made it work. The accessibility to the beach was great. It wasn’t as crowd as being the in the heart of Gulf Shores Beach. A downfall is the laundry situation. It is expensive to use the machines, the laundry app for the phone didn’t work, the machines didn’t work part of the stay and you need a lot of quarters to use them.

Bug spray smell so strong we had to keep doors and windows open.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We first got there you could smell bug spray . Then we started seeing cockroaches. I called lady over place. She said she would send someone. The bug spray smell was coming from other rooms next door ( they were doing construction) so was the bugs. I have pictures.

Awesome 1 bedroom with view of the ocean from your balcony

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year in this unit. We stayed for 6 weeks. Description is very accurate. Perfect spot for 2 people and fold out couch for short stay guests. Very clean upon arrival; super responsive; fantastic communication on check-in/out, amenities, what to bring, etc. Restaurant in condo next door. Boardwalk and pools just steps away. Like first floor access and laundry just outside the door. We have booked in again for next year and have friends who want to join us after they saw our unit. We can't wait!

Nice

We enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect location, right next to the pool and close to the boardwalk that goes to the beach. The host was available when needed and responded right away. The washer and dryer was also right across from our room. That was perfect.

Small but Well Suited

The condo was just as advertised. Our family of four slept quite comfortably and had everything we needed. The room was mere steps to three pools and onsite restaurant. It was only about a 3 minute walk down the boardwalk to the beach. Sand was white and water clear. Communication about the accommodations was easy and clear. All pertinent information was provided. We would definitely consider coming back.

This was a great place to stay for our 2 nights with my friend and her 2 daughters. The bunk was perfect for the teenager. Sassy Bass was amazing, as usual. The last break before school started and the water was clear and beautiful!!! We love Ft. Morgan!

Good location but stinky condo

The pros: location was great, condo was right on the beach and this first floor unit overlooks the water. The layout was fine - a little tight for our family of five, but manageable for just the weekend. The beach was great - the water had lots of seaweed, but it’s really just the time of year. But it wasn’t crowded and we really enjoyed it. There was a great restaurant in the condo right next door (walking distance) and we drove down to Tacky Jacks for dinner one night (there’s a location in Fort Morgan about 5 miles away). Jackie, the manager, was also very responsive with her messages and calls, which I really appreciated. Cons: the condo was so incredibly stinky -like in an overwhelming way. It was like rotten food/mildew/something dead and it did not go away the entire weekend…. We tried to air it out and sprayed as much room spray as we could manage, but it was truly awful. Jackie responded right away when I sent her a message and said they had just sprayed for bugs so maybe that was the problem – but it did not smell like pesticide. We were SO glad that we were only there for a weekend and not longer - thankfully the weather was perfect so we were able to stay outside at the beach all day on Saturday. Jackie did refund part of our cleaning deposit which I truly appreciated (& she was extremely apologetic). But it was a really tough trip. (Also, I was glad I read the reviews beforehand about the lack of outlets so I brought a couple of power strips with us.)

About the host

Hosted by Jackie Battles - Island Dream Property Management, LLC

In 2003, I became a property owner in Gulf Shores, AL. After all these years it is still a blessing to call this beautiful place "my home away from home".

Why they chose this property

The resort is located directly on the beach and offers more amenities than most resorts! These amenities are for your enjoyment without an extra charge. There is something about time at the beach which leaves most of us feeling fresh and renewed.
