We originally thought we wanted to purchase a condo in Orange Beach because it was closer to Florida... That was until we began shopping and we stayed at a few condos on that end. The beaches were crowded. The streets were busy, and it just didn't feel right. Then we drove down to Gulf Shores. We fell in love with the area. The parks and recreation areas are amazing, sidewalks were wider. Folks walking and riding bikes. This area was more my style. This complex is smaller with less condo units in the building, but it still offered the same amenities as the larger complexes. Indoor and outdoor pools, fitness room, steam room and sauna, outdoor grill. The thing I really noticed was how clean the balconies and walkways were. The maintenance department does a really good job of keeping things looking and smelling nice! Then we walked out onto the balcony. That's what did it for me! The spacious curved balcony offered a panoramic view just in time for the sunset! Still my favorite place to end the day!!!
