Great Spring Break Trip

We just left this lovely condo this morning. We had a short stay for Spring Break after taking my son for a college visit at University of Alabama. This small condo building is our favorite to stay when visiting Gulf Shores. It’s not overly large and all the condos are beachfront. Close to everything. We walked the beach to the state park pier and The Hangout. The condo itself is exactly as we expected. On our last full day the battery needed replacing in the door lock and we couldn’t get in. Owner responded to my call immediately and remotely let us in. She then had maintenance at the door to replace the batteries in less than 20 minutes. Excellent response result. We would definitely stay in this condo again.

Very nice

We had a great stay. The place was very clean and smelt amazing as we walked in. The property is older but well maintained. Very easy access to the beach and to restaurants etc. It was awesome having chair service included with our stay. Remember to TIP the chair guys and tip them well. They work their butts off for you but they are not your full time staff either. Be kind. The only issue (although a minor one) is the beach chair situation. It was great having 2 chairs and umbrella included each day and set up for us. However, many people that stay in other places across the street/etc park their setup right in front of you, which is quite annoying, especially if you have younger kids like us and want to keep a close eye on them. So, a way to fix this is bring one of those large beach blankets with you and place it in front of your chairs, closer to the water, so no one sets up camp in front of you. That’s what we had to do. Other than that, great getaway. Thank you.

Excellent beach condo

The condo was clean, conveniently located right on the beach - just a few short steps from the sand and waves, with wonderful beach chairs and umbrella set up daily. We had an amazing time, whether hanging out inside, on the beach or overlooking the water from the balcony. Hope to be back soon!

First VRBO Experience and First Time in GS

Booking this trip was out of my comfort zone as I had never used VRBO or any other booking site similar to rent a home. Kasie made the entire experience simple from the moment we booked - excellent communication and always happy to answer any questions I had. The condo was perfect! Cozy, extremely clean and so easy to access the beach and other area restaurants, shops and attractions. I brought my 4 children with me (ages 10, 8, 6 and 4) and this location made it convenient for us to enjoy the beach but have quick access back to the condo if we needed it. We will no doubt be back and definitely book with Kasie again!

Beach condo did not disappoint!

This building is an older property but the condo itself has completely been renovated and is adorable. The owner/manager was an absolute pleasure. The condo included extras like the umbrella and chair service which was a great bonus as we usually rent those every year. Perfect condo for our family of 4 and would sleep up to 6 easily. Security on the property was very thorough and made it feel very safe. Would stay at this condo again in the future.

Great stay and lovely host!

My 80yrs young parents (that's how my dad likes to say his age!), my niece and nephew (16 and 12) and I all enjoyed our stay. Loved the location and appreciated the pre-arranged beach chairs/umbrella. Very clean and updated inside. My nephew was a little worried from looking at it from the parking lot and then was quite happy once inside and especially with the excellent beach access ;-) We did have an issue with the remote lock upon arrival, but Kasie responded very quickly to our text and helped ensure we got in. One suggestion is to offer a welcome pamphlet/note or the like that details the wifi code, how to access the beach chairs/umbrella, and maybe some favorite food options. That added touch would improve an already great experience. I definitely recommend!

Great little condo

This was a great little condo for 4 adults and a 6 month old. Kitchen was super clean as it had recently been recently renovated. Very well stocked. We loved the view from the balcony and the short walk to the beach. Wi-fi was very spotty but just more of an inconvenience than a problem. We really liked eating at Mikee's Seafood and Hogwild BBQ. Definitely worth the drive to Island Ice Cream and Treats! It was a great week at the beach!

About the host

Hosted by Kasie Anderson Dias

I'm originally from Washington State about 2 hrs West of Seattle in the Pacific NW. While traveling with my fiancé now husband. I fell in love with Gulf Shores/ Orange beach area. He being from NW Alabama had visited many times but together we have fallen more in love with the area and the kindness of the locals, The weather allows us to do everything we love to do from kayaking, scuba diving, bike riding or simply relaxing on the beach people watching- In July 2020 we decided to became locals/ transplants to this greatest community.
Then there was Sally Sept 16th 2020 as new condo owners of less than 60 days w/o any knowledge on how to navigate a hurricane disaster- fThe rebuild had been with tears, laughter, and a lot of patience. 2020/21 was full of Covid 19, 18 named storms, 7 hurricanes, with 1 direct hit Cat 2. Giving us the opertunity 2021, 2022-23 to start fresh- With a condo facelift, a new look, fresh linens, new furniture, new solid surfaces appriances and 2023 newly dredged white sandy beach. We decided to share our little piece of paradise with others. Come experience the greatness of the area and all it has to offer. Thank you for looking . #beach355

Or take the day on the car ferry over to Dauphin Island to explore. or just sit on the beach in your free chairs that have been waiting for you -

For those that have never experienced the night life on the beach, you are in for a wonderful time. There are options for night life adult and/or family orintated in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. The Pink Pony and The Hangout are a half mile from our condo. Live Bait is a popular spot in Orange Beach- All have live music most of the time. One of the best places to experience the Gulf Coast nightlife and meet people ages 18 to 80 is the world famous roadhouse, the Florabama Beach Bar. Located right on the Alabama/Florida line, the Florabama has beach access, great food and some of the best live music around, where many greats still comeback too - Kenny, Luke Combs, and many more- Underage kids are fine until 6pm after 6pm they must be 18 yrs old -

Island Shores is only an hour away from Mobile Alabama, 30 minutes from Pensacola Florida, and 10 minutes from Foley, Alabama. Located directly on the beach at 421 East Beach Blvd, ½ half mile east of where 59 ends at the public beach in Gulf Shores. From I-10, take highway 59 to Gulf Shores and take a left on East Beach Blvd, then go ½ mile and Island Shores is on the right.
