Very nice condo in a great location.

We had a very nice relaxing time. The only down side is there are very few restaurants or bars on the beach in the Gulf Shores area. Most of the nicer places are a 15-20 minute drive away. But it was great for relaxing on the beach!

Excellent location . Property was nice! Deck view was fabulous and the deck furniture was versatile and nice. Super close , easy beach access. Friendly security, clean pool. Property was exactly as advertised. The only downside was the elevators . There were only 2 for the entire building and one was always broken. Sometimes you waited 20 plus minutes or more to get on an elevator.

Beautiful View But Furniture Needs Upgrades

The view is amazing and the condo is nice. We enjoyed our stay with one exception: the furniture. The bed in the master was terrible. It seemed to be a 20 year old mattress and was in no way comfortable. The living room furniture was the same. When you sit on it, you immediately sink to the springs in the couch or leather chair. Updating these pieces of furniture would make a tremendous difference. One last issue we had was that we were not able to figure out how to make the tv work in the master bedroom. Instructions would have been nice. All in all, we would come back again if these changes were made. Lack of restful sleep while on vacation makes for a not-so-pleasant vacation.

Everything was great. Nice balcony. Only problem we had was with the dishwasher. It sounds like it works and will do a clean cycle but it DOES NOT clean the dishes at all. I washed them by hand all week. ( No big deal ). Very nice and very close to beach.

Thank you so much for your rating! However it sounds like though it was an overall positive trip, there were still some issues during your stay. We set high standards here at Brett/Robinson, and highly value your choice to vacation with us. We will forward this to our management team and work to get it right.

Great condo!

Very clean, spacious condo. Beautiful views!! It was perfect for our family. (The only complaint is that one day during our stay only one elevators was working and we were on the eleventh floor, so it made for longer waits. Otherwise they were pretty quick. ) We would definitely stay again!

Tricky Check In

We loved this condo! However, the manager never contacted us for directions on the check in process. The process was to visit the realtors’ office to receive check in information. We realized this after traveling all the way to the condo to find no front desk accessible for check in. Thankfully we found the directions after a quick google search on the realtor’s website that provided directions. We then had to back track to the office in very heavy traffic. This process took over an hour and could have been easily avoided. That is our only complaint with the stay! The pictures simply do not do this condo justice! The floors are beautiful & the view from the balcony is even more beautiful! We did not want to leave!

Girls Trip

During our visit, Hurricane Barry passed by Gulf Shores. We had a lot of concerns at first especially since there is a non-refundable policy. During our check-in, we received an update. Hurricane Barry was turning into a tropical storm. We were reassured that information would be shared if the weather situation changed. However, the beach would have 2-red flags to stay out of the waters. We constantly saw Beach Patrol and Police riding up and down the beach. When walking in the evenings, they provided us with any new updated information. Our weather experiences consisted of light rain and cool winds. Walmart was close by for any food and essentials. The beachfront condo was fully equipped, cleaned, and in a wonderful location near all the shops, restaurants, and grocery stores.

Met or exceeded all expectations!

The condo was exactly what we were looking for. It was clean and comfortable. I know we saw at least one review that stated the mattress in the master bedroom was uncomfortable but that was not the case in our opinion. All amenities were included with the exception of beach supplies. Considering with flew this time we were limited on what we were able to bring with us. It would have been convenient if the condo cam with a couple beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc. Otherwise it was perfect. We We ended up buying a couple cheaper ($20) beach chairs at the grocery store across the street and a cheap cooler and beach toys at Walmart. The condo is within a 10 minute drive to Walmart, three blocks from the center of Gulf Shores and only a 15 minute drive to Orange Beach. We would definitely recommend the condo and would rent again.

The condo had plenty of room and was very comfortable. The view from the front was only surpassed by the ocean view from the balcony, both were amazing. The condo and surrounding areas were very well maintained and kept pristine and pretty with plenty of places to eat and shopping for the ladies. I highly recommend this condo to anyone thinking about visiting the Gulf Shores area.
