The condo was perfect for our family. We were traveling with adult kids and grandkids. The room with 2 queen beds was perfect for the family with toddlers!! It was very clean and the view of the beach was great. It was nice to not have to ride/wait on the elevator.

We had to contact owner to get the door to open when we first arrived, he answered the call quickly, was kind and helpful with instructions, we got the door to open after that and had no further issues. We enjoyed our 5 night stay. The deck has an oceanfront view which is absolutely beautiful.

Nice, roomy, condo. Convenient location, and close to the ground floor meant that we could skip the elevator. Parking lot is tight, so don’t bring a huge truck

Beach front paradise

The property was unmatched. No large crowds and beautiful views of the beach and the pool. All just steps away. Our family fit perfectly in the 3 the bedroom with everyone having their own bathroom. Also within walking distance is a bar and grill with a beach store/convenient store.

My husband and I had our son and his wife and daughter, our oldest grandson and his wife and our 20 year old granddaughter stay with us.I love the condo. We stayed there 2 years ago as well. My husband's family gets together after Christmas in Fairhope, and we like to stay at the beach.The only thing that didn't work right was the Keurig coffee maker. The insert for it didn't seem to fit.We got ground coffee and used the regular coffee maker. All was fine.

Winter getaway

The condo was very well equipped with kitchen amenities and nice linens. It was very convenient to restaurants and other attractions. The only negative was that the carpet in the master bedroom and bath could use a good cleaning.. Enjoyed our stay.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. As far as the carpet, we had all the carpet in the condo professionally cleaned, while we were there, four days prior to your arrival. We will reach out to you to better understand the reason for your concern.
