Beautiful

Unit was nice and clean. Decor in the unit was a nice touch, setting your mood each morning when you wake as if you were in a fancy resort. Well stocked, even non perishable condiments are in cabinet for use. Perfect area, away from the hustle and bustle, but easily accessible to many nice places to go and eat. Owner very pleasant.

Very convenient to the beach!

I really enjoyed my stay here. The owner (Rusty) is very attentive and available by message or text. The condo is updated and was very clean. The beach is so close that it feels like I’m staying on the beach without staying on the beach. The bed was very comfortable and the pool was great! The couch in the living room which contains the pull out bed is extremely uncomfortable, luckily I was not there to sit on it much. The people who were upstairs from us were very heavy footed and liked to vacuum very early every morning for whatever reason. All and all, I would definitely stay here again. I was trying to give you some pro’s and con’s, but I honestly don’t have any con’s for this place. It was great and we really enjoyed it. Thanks, Rusty! I hope to visit again.

Awesome!

We were pleasantly surprised at how close this unit is to the ocean. You can't see it but it is steps away. It is quiet here and the unit had everything you need. We will be back for sure. Rusti is a great host and was very quick to respond.

Great place to stay

Great stay at Gulf Palms #5. The beach was right there, so convenient to just walk a few steps. No high rise condo to deal with. #5 was very clean and updated. Will definitely stay here again

Wonderful stay!

The condo was just perfect for what we needed. Quiet community and away from all the hustle and bustle of the touristy part of town. The beach was just "right there", which was so nice. Much easier than steps or elevator at other condos or hotels. And parking is right in front of the condo. Yes!

Didn't want to leave

This condo is in the perfect spot. Your away from all the busy streets and crowded beaches. My family and I enjoyed this condo so much! I have a 9 yr old boy and a 12 yr old girl and this area was perfect for a family. Everyday we went to the beach we were able to walk right out and find a spot to ourselves and spread out. There is a sand bar right off the edge of the shore which was perfect for the kids to play in. So many shells and sand dollars. The condo was also great it had everything we needed. It was clean the beds were comfy. My son slept on the pull out couch and he said it slept great. The back porch is very private. The only thing I will say is there is no Wi-Fi and for my kids this was devastating. However I enjoyed it. I hope to be back soon! Thank you for sharing your condo with us.

Outstanding condo!

My teenage boys and I had a wonderful time at the beach! This condo is in outstanding condition, the condo complex was quiet even though fully occupied, the owner was great to work with and you are literally steps from the beach. We will be back.

wonderful get a way

This is a wonderful place to stay. The beach is a very close walk with few people on the beach where we were at. The condo was quite comfortable and accommodating. The only complaint I have is the sleeper sofa was very uncomfortable. The mattress on the sleeper sofa might be ok for children but not adult size people. Overall it was a great visit!

Thank you for your review - Hope you visit again! FYI: I have updated the properties details from your sleeper sofa comment. Future guest will have you to thank for that information.

Beautiful place, wonderful stay

What a lovely place. It really fit our needs. Close to everything, the beach and the private pool is awesome. The place is very clean and comfortable but the most important thing is the owner who understands and was flexible with us after very long drive. Thanks again Rusti for letting us stay in your little paradise.

Gulf Palm Condominiums - A Wonderful Place to Stay!

My family and I immensely enjoyed our stay at Gulf Palm Condominiums #5. Immediately upon our arrival, we were greatly impressed with the exterior as well as the interior of the condominium. From the home away from home feel of the condominium laden with so many amenities, to the condominium's close proximity of the gorgeous beach - together all of these made for a relaxing and pleasing vacation. We hope to come back again in the near future, and we will gladly recommend Gulf Palm Condominiums to all of our family and friends. The Bryces - Alabama

BEAUTIFUL condo in the PERFECT location

I have nothing but great things to say about this condo. It's spacious with a beach decor. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and then some. The pool is beautiful and all of the neighbors were so friendly. The best part of all is you are literally steps from the beach. It is set in between all of the hotels, so that section if the beach isn't crowded. A huge plus when you have kids. It is centrally located which made it nice to walk to shops and restaurants. This is by far this best place we have ever stayed. We will definitely be returning.
