Southern Sands 305 ~ Gulf Front ~ Right on the beach ~ Central location

Beautiful view and location make my rating fair: however we were greeted with a weird mothball/mildew /old lady smell that was just weird and bade me feel like it was not clean upon just entering the place. Shower curtains and back of curtains on sliding glass doors to outside were just nasty Looking, couches and furniture were dingy and dirty looking and smelled at times would you would move in the chair. We bought candles and smell eliminators at Walmart that helped. Beds were uncomfortable and each time you sit on them a spring would sound like it was breaking. Sand was all over master bedroom top of dresser upon first entering the room. The rugs in each room are outdoor rugs and just appear to be filthy. The bedspreads look so outdated and dingy we were afraid to use them. Beds were made with only sheets. A lot of cleanup was required upon checkout… much more than we’ve had to do before, so clean up afterward should be easy for cleaning crew!

Our stay was wonderful. We loved the view and the location. We cooked in the condo and enjoyed family time on the large balcony.

Great location, easy access to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Only thing is the electrical needs to be updated.

Had trouble with check in codes took about 2 hours of playing phone tag with t0he contact person. It was quite embarrassing standing out there for 2 hours waiting on code to open the door. Then paying 200 dollars for a parking permits to park acroos the street. WILL NOT BE GOING BACK

Overall, our stay was very good...we've stayed in this unit a year ago. However, the main bathroom shower had very low water pressure and this needs to be fixed. Beyond that, all was great!

Good location. Very low water pressure. But an enjoyable stay. Would rent again

Close to everywhere you want to be at the beach! The only negative was the beds were not comfortable. Balcony great view. Pool is nice. Very clean. Bathroom and bedrooms are a little outdated. But they were clean.

We've been returning to Gulf Shores since 2018 and staying at the same beachfront complex. Great location and easy access to beach and restaurants we like.

Air was not working upon arrival. 2 hours later it was resolved. Hot water heater did not work and had to be replaced. Was not left clean with old “dip” on the patio and old coffee in the pot. Mold in the tub jets. Pull out sofa had only springs and was not able to be slept on.

Elevator would bounce as you tried to exit and enter and the door would not open completely every time and would open a foot or two and close before you could enter or exit. We were very uncomfortable using it but given the amount of baggage we had we felt we were forced to use it. Other tenants mentioned the same concerns.
