Fun in the sun!

We came down for our HS daughter's softball tournament. A wonderful location right on the beach, our 7th story baclony offered an amazing view! There was plenty of room for our two dogs and 8 year old daughter. Everything was clean and neat, and Lance was extremely easy to work with. He even provided us with an extra night late notice because we weren't ready to leave paradise.

Fool’s Gold

So, my recent stay wasn't quite the luxurious getaway I'd hoped for, especially considering the price tag. I was seriously surprised – other people in the building were paying way less, even with pet fees (and everyone seemed to have a dog! Met some lovely people that way, though!).The outdoor pool was a bit of a let-down. The "heated" part was often a bit of a fib, making it unusable, and the furniture around it was pretty rough. The indoor pool? Let's just say I wasn't brave enough to use it – it was seriously grimy! I called property management, but nothing ever happened, which was frustrating.My condo itself was okay, but not perfect. The master bed looked like it hadn't been properly cleaned before I arrived, so I had to wash the sheets. The bathtub was another story – rusty faucet and a leak made showering a safer bet than bathing. And, the air filter looked like it hadn't been changed in ages – yuck! I reported all these issues, of course.The ocean view was gorgeous, no doubt about it, but honestly, I think the price was a bit steep for what I got. I don't think I'll be returning, sadly.PS For the indoor pool, it was so dirty that I was afraid to use it. I called property management and complained. They never did come clean it up, which is terrible because what I found used Tampons products

We had a great stay. I enjoyed not having a a ton of instructions to check out. Ice maker was great to fill our small cooler and the view was relaxing. My 4 year old was safe and loved hanging on the top bunk.

Golf Shores

Property was as advertised. It was clean and had enough room for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Make sure you bring trash bags, toilet paper, and paper towels. There is only one of each. We enjoyed our mornings on the balcony and days on the beach. Only knock I have was the elevator. It was out and the condo is on the 7th floor. We spent 3 nights and the only time it was working was when we first arrived. This made for quite a bit of work while on vacation hauling gear from the beach up to the condo. There was no compensation for the elevator being out as well.

Great location

We had a good stay and made great memories. Location was great and we really appreciated the owners allowing us to bring pets. We recognize this is not the owner’s responsibility and the nature of a condo, but we were frequently greeted by the smell of marijuana and cigarette smoking when we wanted to enjoy the beautiful view this condo offers- just want other renters to be aware. There were even people smoking in the indoor pool area while swimming making it unusable at those times with children (or myself being pregnant). It was generally clean, but some of the pillows and blankets were not useable. Kitchen is very bare for cooking so just keep that in mind if you plan to eat in. The beach is very easy to access from condo and it was beautiful.

Great Updated Property Pet Friendly

Our stay was 5 Days. Condo has been recently renovated. Communications with the owners was great! We utilized the beach service. Highly recommend staying here if you have a small dog and want to stay somewhere that is in very nice. Great small restaurant a few hundred yards down the road with indoor and outdoor seating and a good ice cream shop as well! Lots of things to do in the area. We have been visiting the area for the last 6 years.

About the host

Hosted by Lance & Courtney Steffek

Host profile image
We live in Gulf Shores and love the area. We have 4 children; Emma, Lachlan, Lennox and Piper that love the beach and pools. We are not far away and enjoy staying at Caribbean when other families are not enjoying it. It has been such a joy owning this unit and being able to share it with other families throughout the year. And it has been a fun journey renovating; making it a truly luxurious, high-end destination.

Why they chose this property

We like the low density of only 32 units but all the amenities of a larger complex. Also the 9' ceilings which give it a larger feel than many of the other condos in the area.

What makes this property unique

Low density building with a salt water heated indoor pool, heated outdoor pool, fitness center, grill area and unobstructed Gulf views.
