    We really enjoyed the location of this property. It was easy to walk to many places. The condo is in need of some deep cleaning. The walls and baseboards are dirty and could use some paint after they are cleaned.

    Our stay was so nice. We enjoyed our favorite restaurants and the sound of the waves from the deck. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo. We look forward to our next trip.

    We were looking forward to a quiet break and relaxation and that is what we found at your condo. Quiet, peaceful and a beautiful view of the gulf. The sound of the waves crashing on shore was great. Restaurants within walking distance and a different one each night. Long walks along the beach each morning and sitting on the beach each night watching the sun set. It was very nice for us. Thanks

    Exceptionally clean, very well appointed, great parking and very easy to enter and exit from the street. Is next door to public beach, near great restaurants and has a great beach view from room and balcony. One of the nicest condos I’ve rented in Gulf Shores, if not the nicest for price of rental. I will book again. Traffic is not near as congested as on East end of Beach Highway. Easy access to beach

    This unit was great. It had a great view from the balcony. The beds were so comfortable. The kitchen had about everything needed from silverware, pots and pans, dishes, blender, crockpot. The check in/out process was super easy. If we come back to gulf shores I would totally stay here again.

    This was a great condo! Stayed here in early August with two adults and two older teens. Condo is well maintained. Great communication with the owner. We had everything we needed for our stay. Extremely close and easy access to the beach. We did buy beach chairs/umbrella at Walmart because the rental set up was set back from the beach a fair amount and the tents were required to be in the very back of the beach front. Would stay here again!
