The view front the balcony was phenomenal! The condo was cozy, very clean, and provided all the amenities needed for our family. Just a short walk to the beach, with chair/umbrella rentals available on the beach right in front of the condo! Check-in and communication was smooth, easy, and prompt! We will definitely be back to Gulf Shores, and will stay here again!

We enjoyed the ocean view from the balcony. When the elevator broke down twice, it was repaired pretty quickly. We only had to use the 49 stairs up three times. There was quite a bit of noise on the condo from the elevator, trash pickup and other guests.We loved the nearby state park. So many bike/walking trails.

Hosts were very welcoming. It was a comfortable, relaxing getaway. Very clean, beautiful view.The elevator wasnt working for the last few days of our 2 week stay, so had to keep using the stairs. The worst was hauling our things down the day we left. This would be the only thing keeping us from possibly staying again.
Our view from the living room.
Beautiful sunsets!
Sunrise the morning we left.

Overall everything was fairly good. The floors were dirty. Communication was poor. The elevators broke and stayed broke for a coupleIf days. The property manager couldn’t tell me why or when they would be fixed. There was also no notice that the elevator was broken, so you just had to stand and wait to see if it worked or not.
