    We had a wonderful stay at Spyglass 101A! The condo was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for our vacation. The highlight for us was definitely the balcony—it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views. We also loved being able to walk right out onto the beach, which made our stay even more convenient and enjoyable.The owners were very responsive and helpful whenever we had questions, which we greatly appreciated. The dedicated parking space was a huge plus, and we really liked the location—it was close to everything we needed while still feeling peaceful and relaxing.Overall, this condo exceeded our expectations. We felt right at home and would absolutely love to stay here again on a future trip to Gulf Shores. Highly recommend!

    We couldn't have asked for a better beach front property, the house was comfortable and clean. The gulf view was unimpeded and you can hear the waves crashing. We just walked down 1 flight of the stairs from the deck, walked past the small dunes and the beach was right there. There is a life guard on duty and we were able to rent umbrellas and lounge chairs to have set up each day. The water was so clear and the beach was very clean. The beach never closes, so we were able to lay a blanket on the beach at night to watch the stars and listen to music. We didn't want to leave!

    It was a great place to stay great location. The condo was extremely clean. The only issue we had was parking. It’s very hard to get a big truck into that parking area. I was always worried about falling off the concrete into the sand. Otherwise it was a great location.

We absolutely loved sitting on the balcony and watching the water. You get to enjoy the sunrises and the sunsets from your deck. You won’t be disappointed!!

    The location is top-notch! As advertised, a quiet little nook between a (calm, no parking) beach access path and a lower-rise condo building. The ability to just walk out 50 steps to the water is what we wanted! No elevators, just straight from our deck to the sand. We loved sitting on the deck for coffee, lunch, sunrise/sunsets. Beds were very comfortable, but new pillows would be welcome. A/C worked great, parking was great, having a W/D in unit is handy. I wish the dining table had chairs for the capacity of the unit (6 - and we are a family of 6). We had to split between the bar stools and the table for our meals. We have four teens, so for them the bathroom was small to share, but it was a fair trade-off for the location and price. One thing that needs a clean-out is the kitchen cabinets - lots of random stuff in drawers and cabinets made them look messy and disorganized. Under the kitchen sink needs a cleaning. We wished the TVs were smart tv's so we could have streamed a family movie night. Marty was quick to respond when we needed something, and took care of anything that popped up. We would choose this unit again, truly couldn't beat the location and views.

    You can't beat the location. Right at the beach only steps to the water. The view from the living room and patio is spectacular. Nice seating for morning coffee or evening wine. We would sit and watch the kids play right below. Owners super responsive and helpful! Condo is spaciousa and had everything we needed. Plenty pots and pans, plates and cups and the washer/dryer were so nice to have especially with kids. We traveled with 3adults and 4 kds aged 5 to 11 and had plenty of space to lounge, eat, and play games. Lots of towels and extra blankets available. Murphy bed was awesome! The bed in master and guest room were really hard. Too hard for our liking but if you like a firm mattress it'll be fine. The Murphy bed and bunk bed mattresses were soft. Bottom of the stairs held our beach toys and chairs without worry anyone would take them. Pool underneath building was fine, a bit small but honestly enough for the kids especially when they needed a moment to get out of the sun. Stores super close and convenient. Parking right next to unit. Beach house kitchen and cocktails restaurant was amazing and super reasonably priced. Right down the street! Must go eat there! No extra spices or trash bags or other household items available which is normal but prepare to bring or buy extra. Starter items are provided though and got us through he first couple days. Overall the home exceeded our expectations and we would absolutely return! We plan to!

    Unit is beautiful. Our only complaint is that when we arrived at 6:30pm, unit had not been cleaned (beds all dirty & towels in tub & dirty dishes). Left 2 messages with owner and no return call or text. Found # on fridge of cleaning company & they were very helpful. Came out next day and cleaned, but we still had to stay up until 1:30am washing & drying our bedding so we could sleep (after driving 10 hours)

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!. The property was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. When not walking on the beach, playing golf, or shopping, we were firmly planted on the deck to enjoy the ocean. The only minor improvements I'd suggest are adding a plug or cover for the bathtub drain for those who want to take a bath and updating and/or providing a thorough cleaning/descaling to the water reservoir in the Keurig. There were other guests who came the same day we did and they stayed in the unit directly above us, and we never heard a peep from upstairs. The direct access to the beach was exactly what we were looking for and exactly what we got!

You can sleep more than four though, with a Murphy bed in the living room and a bunk bed plus double bed in the kids room.
