Great Family Vacation
This was exactly what we needed for our family. The view was great! The proximity to groceries and restaurants was perfect. It was a kid friendly space for my two kids (both under 5). The kitchen was well stocked with what you needed. We would stay again!

Great location and Nice Condo….but…
We have been taking trips for spring break for the past 10 plus yrs. This is the first time we used a Vrbo. The process was simple and the actual condo amenities were nice as well. However, we did have some complaints for this particular condo though. The deck furniture was absolutely great, but the living room furniture was not comfortable after a long day on the beach. We are a family of five, with three teenagers. And a nice movie night at the end was very uncomfortable. There was only one single chair that we traded off and on during the week. The master bed was definitely old. Each side had a body divot that you would roll into if you tried to change positions. The sheets for the master bed were also definitely old. The first night, we thought we had a lot of sand in the bed, to only realized that the sheets were all pilly. They had definitely been washed a lot. That needs to be changed! But overall, sandy beach was nice and we had a great time with our family regardless of those frustrations.

Trip for Firsts
We come to Gulf Shores often and this was definitely a great one. We had a great condo and an outstanding view from the spacious balcony. We tried only restaurants we hadn't been before. Well, except for Lulu's....had to pay tribute to her brother, Jimmy Buffet! and we went parasailing! Ike's was set up right beside our condo and it was very convenient! It was a blast! We will definitely stay here again. Thanks for the memories!

Wonderful! Aside from smokers on balconies
Everything about our condo was absolutely beautiful. Perfect location and they have thought of ever This might surface during your stay and accommodated for it The balcony was where we really hoped to spend so much time relaxing but due to surrounding units constantly on their balconies smoking cigarettes/cigars/weed, we did not get to utilize the balcony much at all.

Great trip with our grandson and friend.
Everything was great except the night the fire alarms went off at 12midnight and 4am. Going down 13 flights of stairs twice was not pleasant since we are in our 70s and I have both knees replaced.

Beautiful and Peaceful
This was my firs time using VRBO or any other sort of non-hotel location, and it was a wonderful experience. Great communication from start to finish, well-kept living space, walking access to a number of restaurants and stores, and most importantly - a magnificent and peaceful view of the beach and gulf.

Great place to stay
I would highly recommend this condo. The views of the beach are amazing. It is in really good shape and the website description was accurate. It is close enough to everything you need. Just pack your beach towels and you're ready for the first day at least. This condo has everything you need. Jodi was very easy to work with and answered all questions quickly. I would stay here again if I find myself going back to Gulf Shores

Bad mattresses...Great view
It's a nice place great location. I've stayed in this condo building many times. BUT...both mattresses suck It's like sleeping on a bag of baseballs...soooo lumpy! And the shower head in guest bathroom ...not good at all! a little updating goes a long way!!! Oh adt there is this gross stain in the bottom of the tub that looks like poop! Not pretty at all!

Annual beach trip.
We really enjoyed our stay here. This condo is the perfect size for a couple or a small family. The elevators were great and we had an easy time getting us and our gear to the beach each day. The only thing that could have been better was if the skillets were better quality and there was a fan to use on the balcony. It is private which is nice but there’s not enough air flow. Regardless, we enjoyed the beautiful view and watching the dolphins. We would stay here again.
