Beautiful direct Gulf view & beach front condo.

Footprints in the Sand is a Gulf Front/ full Gulf view condo. In Gulf Shores, Alabama

This is a wonderful condo featuring 2 Master Bedrooms with full bathrooms that has been recently renovated. This is a beach front/Gulf view condo with a full balcony overlooking the water. The living room and master bedroom both look out over the Gulf also. Islands Winds East is located right next to The Hangout and is the largest model of 2 bedrooms in this complex. It is in a prime location, in walking distance to restaurants, shopping and activities, not to mention being directly on the beach/Gulf Front. Not only do you have a view, but you have an extra long balcony where you can sit, relax, eat, enjoy the sunset, read, spend time drinking wine with your love or hanging out with your kids. If your children are old enough to go to the beach or pool by themselves, you can view them directly from your balcony. Beautiful Gulf Front view from the master bedroom as well. This condo features 2 full size bathrooms, a washer/dryer, full kitchen with seating for 4-6 and much more. Linens and towels are supplied for you, you need only bring your swimsuit, POOL/BEACH TOWELS, and your food. This 'Your Home Away From Home' condo is just that, a place where you can come and not need a 'vacation after the vacation' because you will be relaxed after spending your time here. Contact me with any questions.

We have 6 cabins and 3 units within a large cabin in Pigeon Forge that are all for rent as well. VRBO# 2609521 The Vieux & #7565732 The Duck & Turtle Pond. The others are rented out on our own website. Contact me for information about them. Most of the reviews that you see here are from our cabin called Bear Necessities that we just sold (exchanging that Vrbo # for this condo).

There is a $50 parking fee that guests will need to purchase upon arrival for their vehicle. This is purchased at the Office and is a fee that almost every condo in Gulf Shores charges. We do not get this money, the HOA does.

We have 9 properties all together listed on VRBO. The others are ALL on the same 12 acres in Pigeon Forge like Kissing the Clouds. We have a Destination Wedding Venue as well. When you rent The Vieux #2609521 for at least 2 nights, you can use the Wedding Venue for free and have the reception at The Vieux. Here are out other properties in Pigeon Forge.

Perfect location. Perfect space. Ideal host. We enjoyed it so much we booked again for same time next year. Kathryn was great helping us check-in, communicating while we were there and even checking on how our DD's volleyball went. Our friends booked another unit in this complex after seeing and hearing about ours. Thank you for a great experience all around and being a great host. See you next year!

Fantastic Property with Amazing Location

Everything about this property was wonderful! The location can’t be beat! It’s on the beach and walking distance to a lot of stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. The property was very clean, kitchen well stocked with dishes and utensils for cooking, comfortable beds, great balcony overlooking the ocean. The host/owner was super responsive before and during our stay.

It's always a gamble when booking a stay online . Is it really the location as advertised? Is it really as it appears in the pictures? This property is just as it appears! Right on the beach!

Beautiful view

View was beautiful. Condo is a little small , but we were fine I had to clean tubs before we could take baths, and wipe out frig. Something Red was spilled in it and not wiped. Tubs were very dirty with mold behind shower curtains. I dont blame owner for cleanliness, but her cleaning crew are taking her for a ride. Katherine was great and. Very understanding. We would stay again in this condo. Thanks Cheryl Copeland & Family

Nice little condo

We stayed here for my moms 50th birthday. The condo was nice with great views of the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Parking was the only issue. They only allow one car to park on site. There is public parking across the street however it is not free. Thankfully, the we got off with a warning parking ticket. An actual parking ticket cost as much as the one parking pass to park on site of the condo.

Pictures Not Always Accurate

First of all, we never received the code for the front door. We had to reach out to the owner to get the code when we were in the parking lot of the condo. Secondly, the pictures online looked amazing. The actual property is a very dated, older condo. The ceilings are super low, popcorn, with big black spots poking through the paint. The king bed is in the guest room and there is a smaller bed in the master where the view is best. Finally, the cleanliness was awful. There were spills in the freezer and fridge. The oven was filthy. There was sand all over the floors. There was dog hair on the sheets. The coffee table had dust all over the bottom shelf. I dropped a cap to a bottle and moved the bedside table, there were dirty toothpicks underneath the table. There is a big mop bucket with dirty mop behind a bedside table in the guest room. There was mold and mildew in the tubs, especially in and around the faucets and hot and cold water adjusters. The coffee pot was filthy too. In my opinion, this condo needs a remodel and a DEEP clean. I didn't even want to shower there. The positives were that I had what I needed to cook-decent pots and pans and the beach was very close. I can get over the older building, but not the failure to properly clean the unit between users.
