In Island Tower, the highly desired center units have a single, large (i.e., three rooms wide) and private Gulf-front balcony. The spacious balcony is very private allowing you to enjoy the ocean, not other buildings. The 7th floor is a perfect height!!
This condo is close enough to the pool, fitness center and 4th level parking that you can easily use the stairs instead of relying only on the elevator. This is a center unit with large windows that make for a sunny and cheery atmosphere.
BEDROOMS AND BATHS: There are two master bedrooms and one guest bedroom.
The first master bedroom has a king bed and a private bathroom with double vanities, a jetted tub, separate shower, and walk in closet. The first master bedroom has floor to ceiling windows facing the Gulf and direct access to the Gulf-front balcony.

PRIVATE BALCONY: SERENITY is located on the 7th floor - a very desirable low floor of Island Towers Condominiums that gives you an excellent view of the beach and pool areas. Being a center unit, the Gulf facing balcony is 50% wider and more private than end units in the complex. The spacious balcony is very private allowing you to enjoy the ocean, not other buildings.
The large balcony is very nice to sit out on and has a table with four chairs, a lounger and a side table. You will be close enough to identify your family and friends at the beach but far enough away from the outdoor pool that noise is not a problem (In the higher level condos it is harder to identify people on the beach.) The 7th floor is a perfect height!!

This is our second year to stay at Serenity. The condo is very comfortable and clean. The views are remarkable! We love the beach service that is included also. John is quick to respond and super helpful. We will certainly plan to stay here again next summer!
Great location, close to everything! Condo is very comfortable and had everything we needed. Beach service is a huge bonus! So thankful for ample parking!
Had lots of space and everything needed
This was our 2nd year in a row staying in this condo. I can’t give it enough stars! John is a wonderful host, very responsive and helpful. The condo itself is in a perfect location, updated and decorated very nicely, spacious, always clean, has beautiful big balcony looking out into the ocean and has very nice amenities. We look forward to making this a yearly trip for us and wouldn’t want to stay anywhere but here!!
Beautiful condo super close to the beach. The pool was stunning as was the view.
The property was great. The condo was big, lots of space and very nice. We were told about the construction but was not told the outdoor pool was out of service during construction. Was not aware we would need to by paper towels, dishwasher detergent and extra toilet paper if needed. Only had 1 roll per bathroom. Not a deal breaker but felt we needed to keep running errands on our vacation.
Most important is bed comfort. A 10! We rarely go out as it cuts into our beach time so fully stocked kitchen is important to us. A 10! Beach chair rental inclusion - 10! Initial soaps, paper toweling and other initial essentials, and number of towels - a 10! Decor and comfortable surrounding - 10! Internet access, cable TV, keyless entry - 10! Elevators were fast. Parking was no problem for us. We were able to walk to restaurants, shopping. Owner was extremely responsive and upfront with us during the construction. We’ve been renting in PCB, Orange Beach and Gulf Shores for 16 years and this condo, by far, was the absolute best! Thank you, John.
We could not have asked for a better condo or stay during our family getaway. The condo had everything we needed right at our fingertips. We enjoyed the beautiful views from the balcony and the comfy beds for sleeping and waking up refreshed each morning. If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay look no further. The owner was very accommodating and very easy to communicate and work with. We will look forward to staying here again in the future.
Fantastic condo, great weather, great golf and the return of the Shrimp Fest. Thanks to John for being a great host
We thoroughly enjoyed the condo. The location was great: close enough to walk places but not overrun.
We loved our stay at the condo. Beautiful view, clean property and near shops and restaurants. Would recommend for sure for a beach getaway. The bushwacker at Cobalts was delicious and food was great too. Also Big Mikes Steakhouse was excellent! Really enjoyed our stay! Would highly recommend!
We’ve stayed at several condominiums over the years and this one was by far our favorite. We usually shoot for the lowest floor possible with kiddos so we were hesitant with this being on the 7th floor, however, the elevators are awesome. We never waited more than 10-15 seconds going up or down. The condo itself was super clean, updated, and spacious. Not too mention they had EVERYTHING you might need while at the beach. We’ve never rented chairs on the beach so I wasn’t sure we’d use the ones that was included with renting this condo - but I was WRONG. I’m so glad that the chairs were included. We didn’t have to load up near as much to take to the beach, especially when just my husband and I would go down alone without the kids (stayed with the grandparents;)). All in all one of the best trips we’ve taken!
Everything was wonderful. Perfect view. Very comfortable beds and clean condo. I definitely will try and rent this unit again as we go to Gulf Shores every year.
I can't imagine there's many, if any, better values on the beach with 3 good-sized bedrooms & 3 full bathrooms. Plus there's a pull-out bed/couch. Was well-stocked with cooking supplies. Large balcony was amazing with access from 3 rooms. Couldn't be easier to check in & out. Communication was very good. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we get back to Gulf Shores.
We loved the easy access to the beach and the chair service was great.It was our grandkids first time at the beach and they couldn't get enough .even with the jellyfish and storms. A great time was had by all
Great place to stay room 702 was very clean, all kitchen needs. Bed all slept good. The view was great. I would highly recommend this property and room 702.
My family was in town for the softball National Championship. The condo was super nice and had everything we needed plus a few little extras we didn’t anticipate like hand soap in the bathrooms and dish soap. Those little things stood out to us. The balcony had an amazing view. We saw dolphins every morning. The elevator was slow at times but we just took the stairs if it was taking too long. I highly recommend Serenity and would definitely stay there again.
The condo was clean, neat, nicely decorated, and. In a great location! The 2 master bedroom ac didn’t quite cool compared to rest of unit so we were a little warm at nights but not too bad. Kitchen was well equipped, and appliances were excellent. TVs a little hard to figure out with remotes all spread out but did all work. Hot water worked well. Nice family condo. All Gulf Shores more eroded than years ago so couldn’t skim board due to incline. Beautiful white sand. One day couldn’t swim due to seaweed but rest of days good.
The condo was great and the host always responded quickly to all messages.
Our condo was perfect! Everything from location to cleanliness to ease of communication with property owner was wonderful! Will def be staying here again and recommending to others!
Enjoyed the double masters, beautiful view, nice pool and short walk to the beach. Owners where responsive with any questions we wanted to ask and very professional.
We stayed at this property from the end of April through the first week of May 2022. It was everything we were looking for plus more! It is very spacious and clean, has fabulous views of the ocean in 2 bedrooms & living room, multiple elevators, convenient parking, PLUS comes with beach chair rentals for the week. Communication with the property manager was excellent and fast! It was easy to see he has experience with rentals and he was always super friendly and on top of things! Working with him was a very smooth process and a pleasant experience. We will definitely try to rent it again!
