We absolutely loved our stay here! The owners went out of their way to add "special touches" and amenities that made it feel like a hotel. We would definitely stay here again. The view is spectacular!
Everything in this condo is wonderful. The photos look great but its even better in person. The hosts Greg and Melissa were awesome. We would definitely stay here again!
This property was perfect! My family and I very much enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean, well furnished and equipped with everything you would need. Also, in a great location. The view is spectacular from the balcony! Perfect for couples and small families. I would definitely book again🙂

Sherry, thank you for the feedback! Melissa and I are very happy you enjoyed your stay with the family. You/family/friends are welcome back anytime!
Great condo with a beautiful view! Greg was amazing with communication and quick response time. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed. Master bed is very comfortable and my girls were happy with the sleeper sofa. We had the best week here and would not hesitate to stay again!
My husband and I stayed at this condo with our 13 and 9 year old. We loved how easy it was to get to the beach, they swam in the pool the few rain showers we got and we even took a hike down the beach to some of the eateries. We also cooked several meals in the condo with no issues. We would stay here again.
The condo was very clean and had all amenities needed for our stay plus extra. The owners reached out to make sure we got checked in without any problem. They have security and a gated parking lot. We loved the fact of 2 swimming pools one which was inside so we could get a rest from the sun. Overall this was a perfect stay for us and we will definitely stay here again.
Excellent condo!! Not only was it exactly as it was listed, the pictures don’t do it justice! Clean, cute, every amenity you would need and an AMAZING balcony!! Huge with beautiful views of the beach/ocean! Perfect location, too! Quiet with excellent beach access, yet close enough to walk to the action 😊. As someone who has traveled extensively and rented several condos in several locations over the past 20 years, this one is right up there with the BEST of them!

John, wow - we are thankful for your kind words and for taking your time to share you feedback. We enjoyed hosting you and are beyond thrilled you had a great time!
We stayed at the condo for 2 days and were sad when it was time to leave! The condo was stocked with everything you could need! It was clean and beautiful! The balcony was big with plenty of great outdoor furniture and the view from the condo was breathtaking! The kids loved the bunk beds too! We highly recommend Greg & Melissa condo and will definitely be going back! 10/10 thank you for a great stay!
There was only 2 of us. It was perfect. A family of 4 should still be comfortable. It was a quiet end of the beach and that's what we wanted. It had everything we needed and loved being on the 9th floor. The only downside we saw was the pool area. It could use an update. We would come back.

Thank you for the feedback, Stefan! You/family/friends are welcome back anytime. Thank you for being a great guest and we are happy you enjoyed Gulf Shores
This condo was the perfect size for the two of us. The condo was clean and cheery. The balcony and view were perfect. We were pleasantly surprised that the Mardi Gras parade went right by the condo. Fun! Next time we will probably wait until March to come—it was mostly cool with a few rainy days. That didn’t stop us though. We walked on the beach nearly every day—and it is right outside your door. We had a few beautiful sunsets that were viewable from the balcony. Thank you to our hosts for allowing us to have this great experience!
We really enjoyed our stay at the condo! Communication with the hosts was great and the condo was very clean. The view from the balcony is fantastic. The washer and dryer was so convenient to have in the unit and the kitchen was stocked with the dishes we needed.
The beach was steps from the bottom of the elevator. We really enjoyed being so close. It seemed that it was less busy on this end of the beach. Very peaceful. Our kids enjoyed boogie boarding and searching for sand crabs at night.
Our only complaint would be the stinky elevators! The wet floor mats in an enclosed space cause quite a stink! Otherwise, this was a GREAT place for our little family vacation. Definitely recommend! Thanks for providing this great location!
Everything was exactly as pictured. Very nice and clean condo, we enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves. Would definitely consider again if staying in the area.

Thanks, Pam, for taking the time to share your thoughts. We love the balcony too! Hope to see you again if you are ever back in Gulf Shores!
This property is in the perfect location. Walking distance to numerous restaurants and shopping experiences. The property isn't too large and crowded. Excellent access to the beach, the pier, and the state park. Easy beach chair/umbrella rentals. Will definitely stay here again when I go back to Gulf Shores.

HI Lauren, thank you for the awesome review. We look forward to welcoming you back next time!
This condo was absolutely perfect! The host was the best in customer service and communication. She made sure we were Welcomed and checked on us throughout the stay. Lynn condo was everything and much more the pictures showed. She has it decored perfectly for the "beach experience". It is in the best location to be able to just walk out onto the beach and walk to The Hangout and all the other restaurants. This trip was our Anniversary trip and Lynn could not have made it more accommodating for us. If you want that perfect beach getaway.... then you book with Lynn! We will be back and will continue to stay here. Thank you Lynn for making this a wonderful memorable trip for us!

Awwww, that's so great. We are thrilled you had an amazing time and made some great memories!
The property was very clean and conformable! Indoor pool was always clean and hot tub was perfect temperature! Little cool in Feb. Had some great days on The beach!
Our visit was over the 4th of July holiday so we was able to watch the firework from our room witch was AWESOME!
If I had to say anything that I didn't like about our stay it would be.
The washer/dryer was too small.
The trash can had food all over the lid.
But overall it was perfect!

Hi Tiffany, we are so glad your family got to enjoy the 4th of July with the fireworks right out the balcony! Thanks for your other feedback as we strive to make everything perfect for our guests. Hope to see you again next year. :)
We had the best vacation with this condo! The condo is equipped with every thing you would need! Definitely the easiest place I have ever booked with! Lynn made everything super easy for our stay and checking in and very friendly! The beach was beautiful, clean, family oriented and not crowded! I love how it was so family oriented at the condo for our kids! They met so many other kids and made so many memories! Unfortunately had 1 day that was raining and windy but that didn’t stop us! Thanks to the awesome indoor pool and hot tube! We will definitely be back!

Thank you, Michelle! You were a perfect guest and are welcome back anytime. So glad you truly enjoyed your stay and the amazing view!
If you are looking for a quiet condo location away from the hustle and bustle this is it. Last building right next to the state park the beach goers were far fewer than farther down the beach. Even on busy days plenty of space to spread out and relax with family and friends. We loved that it was a short walk to Sea N Suds restaurant. The condo itself was very clean and exactly as the pictures showed. While there we had a storm roll through and our water was briefly out. I texted the owner and they responded in minutes to let us know maintenance was on it and it was building wide. They had water restored in half an hour. Great experience overall and when we come back to Gulf Shores this will be our first choice.

Thank you for your review. We are so glad you found everything to your liking including the location on the beach and the furnishings! You are welcome back anytime.
This is a beautiful property. It is so centrally located to restaurants, shopping and right next door to the Gulf Shores State Park. The owners have great taste in decorating and has equipped this place with everything you could need. The heated pool and hot tub is also a nice bonus as not all places offer that. We were in contact with the owners and their response was immediate. That's a good feeling knowing they care. We highly recommend this place to anyone.
