This was an amazing place to relax for a few days and take in the beauty of the beach! The condo was just as pictured and very clean. As everyone mentions, the view is perfection. The beach was uncrowded and the location seemed to be in a quieter part of Gulf Shores, but still close to everything. Communication was so friendly and helpful. We would definitely choose this condo again.

Our room was very clean and neatly decorated. Everything we needed was available. The beach view was awesome! We sat out on the patio every morning with our coffee enjoying the ocean. Upon departure, Meryl called to let us know we had left a shopping bag with lots of goodies on the table and made arrangements for us to come back and retrieve it. Would definitely recommend this condo!

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo - the location was great and the beach directly outside of it wasn't busy at all. Meryl was extremely communicative and helpful. We originally had the trip scheduled for different dates and when I requested to shift them, Meryl immediately got it sorted. We also had some car troubles when we were on our way down and Meryl was kind enough to offer help and directions to the nearest auto store. We've bookmarked this for future trips!

Beautiful views, great location, and a lovely and clean condo, pool, and beach. Everything was well done. It was wonderful to have the ocean right there to admire from the balcony, and to take morning and evening walks. We were able walk to the local coffee shop as well. My kids said it was their favorite VRBO we have stayed at yet. The only thing that would make it better is to have a few starter items in the kitchen like other properties I have been to (e.g., salt, pepper, PAM spray for pans). Not make or break, but would be nice not to have to purchase those additional items for cooking.

The host, Meryl, was the absolute best! She helped me out when I was worried about driving back home where there was a lot of snow and ice. She let me stay an extra night even though she had new people coming the next day, which shortened the time for the cleaning crew to come in. The condo was wonderful, and the view was fantastic. I highly recommend staying here.
