Spectacular unobstructed view of the ocean. A quick elevator ride down and boardwalk to the beach. The building provides carts to haul all your gear up to your condo, so nice! Walking distance to restaurants, ice cream, coffee, entertainment, and souvenir shopping. Loved the condo with two rooms with king beds! Made it so nice for two couples and kids traveling together. The washer and dryer in unit were a life saver. The condo has EVERYTHING you could possibly need and more. Bedding is so comfortable and cozy which was nice with the cold front we had to start our trip.

Thank you so much for the detailed and thoughtful review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the ocean views, the easy beach access, and especially the convenience of the building amenities like the carts and nearby shops and restaurants. It’s also great to hear the layout worked well for your group and that the in-unit washer/dryer and bedding helped make the stay more comfortable - especially with the colder weather at the start of your trip. We’d love to host you again anytime! -Sands of Alabama Team

Loved the condo and the view . So beautiful. The only 2 minor issues were the sauna was not operational and the tub in the master bedroom leaked some water into the closet at the foot of the tub. As a result we were not able to take additional baths or use the whirlpool feature. Like I said overall my family and I loved the condo. God Bless

The views were gorgeous- the place was clean. We were told no beach chairs were included so we brought ours but when we got there tge laundry room was packed full of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, and a large tent. They also said no hair dryers & there was one in every room. The main tv had a huge black strip down the center I sent a picture to host. Although i didn’t expect a new tv they never even replied to my text. Overall it was a nice place the location was great!

Thank you for your stay and for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the gorgeous views, found the home clean, and appreciated the location—that means a lot to us. I do want to apologize for the confusion regarding the beach equipment and hair dryers. We aim to set clear expectations, and it’s obvious we missed the mark there. I’ll be updating our listing details so future guests have accurate information. I’m also sorry about the issue with the main TV and, more importantly, that we didn’t respond to your message. That’s not the level of communication we strive for, and I understand how frustrating that must have been. We’re addressing this internally to make sure guest concerns are acknowledged and handled promptly moving forward. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve. We’d love the opportunity to host you again and provide an even better experience next time. Sands of Alabama Team

Assuming that you are meaning the Management Co host --ok - not particularly welcoming --busy with multiple check ins - don't recall her even saying anything to us. One elevator down so long line. Unit clean and well appointed. One of the most nicely decorated places we have stayed. Photos do it justice. Comfortable in side and out (Submitted a few things to management co. on check out day that should probably be watched ...lint trap dryer to outside seems very full dryer doesn't dry well and is a fire hazard, water filter on fridge says it needs a new filter, pillows not real comfortable, front bathroom toilets run after flushing.) Elevators out one day - would have been nice to have a more timely communication of what was happening.
