San Carlos Penthouse 5- Everything is Better at the Beach! Reserve your Spot Now

Spacious, well appointed and exactly as advertised! Ideal location. At Christmas we got lucky and the weather was great for miles of beach walking. We were just two siblings so we had an empty bedroom and a third bathroom that was hardly even necessary, but nice to have. Elevators were super fast, parking readily available and accessible, handy carts to move in/out. TVs worked great when the fog socked us in, otherwise the only thing needed to look at is the views! Great unit. Would definitely stay again.

Overall we were satisfied with our stay. The unit could use a good deep cleaning (dust on curtains in master, jets in tub, shower tracks). Kitchen was well equipped. We did get locked out of our unit before the checkout time on our departure date. We had to call the rental company and get a new code so that we could get back in to load our belongings. Parking is difficult if you have a large vehicle and there is a very limited amount of handicap parking spots.

Great experience at this phenomenal location. A few small maintenance issues were not bothersome (some minor cleanliness issues and prior damage like scratches on furniture, etc)). Wish we hadn’t brought our beach chairs and umbrella and instead would have paid $40 for the convenience of renting there. Shampoo, soap, few samples of laundry detergent, coffee, etc made things easy. The unobstructed view was what I wanted. Balcony was perfect. Pool was zero-entry, great for toddlers. We were lucky to get a discount on the price due to booking last minute (night before). Really magical. The fees were significant on top of the nightly rate. We loved it and will likely return. Transportation is unbelievably tricky there as Uber and Lyft are rare. Beach Express Gulf Shores Taxi Service was a relief (251) 979-1561

Matresses need updated , maintanence order was put in prior to us checking in and weren't notified. Made it a little uncomfortable, we called and the reassured us everything was legite

We really liked this property. It was close to restaurants, so you could walk. Walk right out to the beach. Condo was very clean. As with any place you stay, more towels would have been nice, but was happy for the washing machine to wash them. No beach items were supplied, which wasn't a big deal for us as one family member drove and brought chairs/umbrellas, beach towels. If you fly like some of us did, that is harder to do. Overall, a great condo for a families. There were two families that stayed and it worked out well. Would stay there again.

The San Carlos It’s a great condominium in a great location and has all the amenities. Would highly recommend. Walking distance to many activities and great restaurants. Great for families or couples. Also very clean.

We had a great time. It's right off the beach, we never had to wait long for an elevator, and the unit (Penthouse 5) comfortably slept eight of us (four adults, four children). Only knock we had was the dryer is on it's last legs (we'd have to dry each load at least twice) and the A/C is a little tricky to regulate at night. The master bed/bath becomes an icebox as you try to cool the other two bedrooms in the front of the unit. Other than those two small issues, the room was great.

Middle of the toad

Any issues were small and taken care of immediately. Perfect location! We all loved it and we had several teens as well as adults. We will definitely be back!!

The condo is just as described. The view is amazing. We had plenty of room and enjoyed the large balcony. Everything was within a mile or two so that made eating out easy. The only negative thing we found was the mattresses need to be replaced as well as the dining room chairs. I hope before our next trip these will have been replaced. Overall this condo was perfect for our group.
