We’ve stayed at The Gulf Tower several times and it’s always a great experience. Communication is always great and check in is so simple. We ended up adding an extra night due to Bertha coming through during our stay and they made the process easy and fast. Thanks!

Beautiful stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Great location! Beautiful view! Easy parking as well as entry and exit to the property. Fast elevators even though only 1 was operational during most of our stay (they were alternately down for new flooring). Condo was acceptable but some furnishings were showing wear (1 twin bed sloped toward the foot, carpet in bedroom was fraying, kitchen appliances dated countertops throughout bubbling up/separating). Although the condo felt clean overall there was mold in both tubs, in fact the hall bath had mold chunks come flowing out of the faucet with the first bath for our toddler. There was also visible thick dust on vents in the bathrooms and ac vents as well as hanging from the ceiling particularly in the master bedroom. This did cause some respiratory difficulties for our family as we are all particularly sensitive. Lastly there was no broom which at the beach is a must to help keep sand at bay so we had to purchase one which we left with the unit. One thing we loved was having the double glass balcony, great with our toddler and gave peace in mind with railings and having an air fryer for quick breakfast and reheating of leftovers.

The only thing good about this condo is the view and a clean pool.There is carpet in the kids room that is moldy and makes the whole place smell musty There was mold on the dining room chairs and the outdoor seating as well. Our power was cut off during our stay which put a damper on our day. We love gulf shores and will return. We just won't come back to Gulf Tower

We appreciate your feedback, Dana. We never liked to hear that a guest is less than satisfied with their stay. We are sorry to hear that the power went out but it looks like they got it back on quickly. We wish you would have said something during your stay about any cleanliness issues as we would have sent the cleaning company back out immediately to address those. We are very pleased to hear you enjoyed those amazing views! Thanks for staying with us. Coastal View Vacations

We do our very best to keep our listings updated and the listing pictures are accurate reflecting that the condo is more dated than some. It is priced accordingly as an affordable beachfront option.

The Condo was great! The kitchen was equipped better than any condo I’ve rented and I have rented many. The service was way above average. There was a problem with the air and when I text the host, they answered in a few minutes. They conversed with me until a service man could come to fix the problem. The issue was fixed in minutes. The next day someone was there to give an estimate on a new air unit. We were so pleased since we haven’t had that communication in other rentals. Thanks to all

Spacious, comfortable 2br/2ba with a great view. Balcony/sunroom was much more comfortable than I anticipated, and very big. The view is great, but sunrise/sunset is hard to see. Watched dolphins every morning. The ac kept the whole unit cold. We didn’t cook much, but the cookware selection was large, but the quality was very basic. Beds were comfortable. Check in/out was quick and easy with plenty of communication beforehand. I would have checked the property on coastal view had I known. Parking was sufficient and they had security checking for tags. Plenty of nearby restaurants. Fishing at the surf (early-July) wasn’t great, but wasn’t really expected to be. Probably should have started earlier. There’s paid beach setups that get set up around 7am. The beach was a little crowded but there was still space when we arrived late. There were two nice sandbars when the tide was low you could walk about 100yds out. The water was murky from rain out of mobile. Clearer water is further east like Destin. The sand is soft and clean. This area is more affordable and still very nice. Best restaurants were the Catch, Shrimp Basket’s AYCE, and lulu’s. Go to Orange beach and try Doc’s and GT’s. Would definitely return. Thanks!
