Great place!

We loved staying here! Walk down stairs from your balcony right onto the beach. This was perfect for my husband and I and our two kids. 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. There is also a convenience store, good restaurant (Beach House) and ice cream place within walking distance.

My family loved our stay at this condo. It was very clean, updated, and had a perfect view for our morning coffee with a short walk to the beach from our deck. Beds were very comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Marty Ross

Host profile image
Just a typical family that loves spending time together enjoying sports, camping, and just hanging out! We live in the Dallas, Texas area.

Why they chose this property

This is our 2nd property in Gulf Shores and wanted to stay with a low-density complex with parking directly at the condo. This end-unit beach-view condo overlooks the ocean and is conveniently located to all the cool places we love to visit in Gulf Shores.

What makes this property unique

The majority of units on this property are owners who stay at their condos at least a few times a year. It has a truly unique family-friendly atmosphere and we're already making new friends since purchasing Spyglass101-A.

The complex and its beach are UNCROWDED and ON THE BEACH! The shaded pool is great when you need a break from the sun, and is directly under our condo.

The private parking right beside the condo and walking inside is so much easier than parking lots and elevators!
