Our stay was March 7-12, 2021. This was our first visit to any condo on the Gulf Coast between Alabama & Florida. The condo was perfect for our family of four. Our son brought a friend, so we used all three rooms. The beds were very comfortable, view was beautiful, and other than the cold weather and rip current it was a wonderful stay!
Some things that aren't mentioned in the listing that I think are great if you use the kitchen...there is a crock pot, the kitchen is fully loaded as far as cooking tools for a nice stay. There were even plastic containers/lids for leftovers if you wanted that! There is a pitcher, which is handy if you make tea or want to keep something cold and wet in the fridge to drink!
The balcony was nice for me to have some quiet time in the mornings, but it isn't a big hangout, and I was usually the only one who would sit out there. This condo was made very strong! I never heard anyone's feet when they were walking around, and that can be quite annoying if there are flat-footed guests staying above you.
The living room seating can get tricky if everyone wants to sit together, but the area isn't extra-large so I would say the owners have done a great job with the space. The only other thing they could have done is add a cushioned chair or bean bag type chair for everyone to sit comfortably in the living room, but it would probably be in the way when everyone wasn't sitting. There are four bar stools, and 4 seats at the kitchen table, Lots of seating options...but hey, you're at the beach! So, you typically wouldn't be hanging out at the condo all day, right?! I also liked that there weren't so many units at this property. I thought the location made it easy to get to anything you want to do in Gulf Shores. We never had to drive far for meals or entertainment. We would return to this condo again and again. I am so glad we took this trip!
