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.
