We enjoyed Gulf Shores, and were close to lots of things to do and places to eat. This condo was definitely smaller than the pictures made it out to be. The best part was the location, an easy walk to the beach and directly next to the pool. The pool does fall under shade very early in the day. The front door is easy to see through at night if you have lights on inside, one of the windows leaked, and the storm door in the master bedroom whistled nonstop during high winds. The condo wasn’t dirty exactly, but the dings in the walls and paint and the rust spots from the nails in the trim made it look that way. The master tub also looked stained and worn. Both bathroom sinks did not drain well and the master failed to get hot water through it at all. The remotes for the fans in the master bedroom and the living room were crossed somehow, so anytime one light was turned on it turned the other fan light on and same with the fans. Overall, nothing that made the place uninhabitable but definitely made it a place we wouldn’t return to. The location was the saving grace. The management company was fine, good communication and we had the codes and stuff we needed.
