A1 Penthouse

Nice place, but the oven didn't work, nor did the jacuzzi tub jets and ran out of hot water before it was even half full. Dryer didn't heat up very well, so it took forever to dry anything. Also it's up on the 3rd floor and there are no elevators.

Wasnt handicapped accessible

The internet didnt work , the front refrigerator didnt get cold on the bottom half, hot water was very limited. Also its not handicapped accessible when i put that as a filter this unit pulled up as handicapped accessible. My sister is in a wheelchair most of the time so that was very hard to get her up to the penthouse .

Vacation in Gulf Shores at Harbor House A1

My vacation in Gulf Shores staying at Harbor House A1 was fabulous! The condo has everything you need. It's right on the Beach, so there is easy access and you are able to go back and forth to and from the condo as you need. It has a wonderful pool if you don't feel like being on the sand. We were able to make dinner there some nights instead of going out and when we felt like going out, there are plenty of great places close to the condo. I will definitely go back there for another vacation!!

Penthouse Perfection

Our stay at Harbor House A1 was absolute perfection. Plenty of room for everyone with a large living room and the Sunroom was an added bonus, with a spectacular view. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony every morning while sipping coffee and watching the sunrise. Beach access is super simple and we enjoyed a view of the ocean, while cooking dinner each evening. The kitchen was well stocked with all the appliances you need, and we even found a blender for our milkshake craving. The bedrooms were very spacious and the front two overlook the ocean. We couldn't be happier with our stay and we plan to return again next year.

Our stay

Stayed in penthouse A1. There was no lighting in the stairwell. All cabinets and drawers should have knobs on them. The 2 bedrooms on the right side of the penthouse were extremely warm. Parking passes were mentioned , but none were left. Nice place overall. Great view of the Gulf. Very clean and would recommend to a friend.

Nice weekend

We had a wonderful time staying at the condo. The inside is very nice and it was one of very few condos that had 3 beds size full or bigger. The only complaint I have is that the parking for the penthouse was tight for a full size vehicle doable but tight. The beach access was very nice too, easy to get out there, but not busy. All in all it was a great weekend!

End of summer getaway

Nice location close to everything especially the beach. It is an older property with cosmetic flaws but overall nice place with lots of room for large groups or a few couples. All the photos are very accurate to the accommodations within the condo. Biggest disappointment was the windows in the sun room really looked forward to sitting in the evening with them open to listen to the waves crashing in, however the side balcony doors do allow a lot of sound to come up into the room. We are very hot natured and keep a cool house 68-69 so when the thermostat automatically resets to 74 every couple hours we were very annoyed to say the least I woke up in the middle of the night every night to turn it back down. Going up and down the stairs were by far the hardest part of the stay it is definitely not recommended for seniors to rent this property.

Great Location But A Few Snags

The Good: Location is right on the beach. Floor plan and sleeping situation was perfect for our group of 7 adults and one toddler. Building is somewhat older but comfortable. Food market only minutes away by foot was very convenient. Covered parking was very handy and we stored beach stuff in the cars, which saved us from carrying it all up the stairs and kept the sand out of the unit. One of our cars was an SUV with a car top carrier. It was too tall for the covered parking so we had to leave it out in the sun. The sun room and balconies were very nice... great views, always a breeze, felt like you were on the beach but only steps away from the fridge. The kitchen was well supplied with cookware and appliances. We did receive a message advising us of limited amounts of trash bags, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, bath tissue, bath soap, etc. It would have been nice to get this information sooner since we were already packed and on the road when we found this out. The Bad: Our check in time was 4:00, but received a text at 3:00 letting us know we would not be able to get in until 6:00 because the cleaners were running late. Pretty much screwed up our first evening. To walk to the beach you must pass through a locked gate. In the unit there were 2 key fobs which provided access. With 7 adults, 2 fobs were not enough. I called to try to get more but was denied. The convienience of being right on the beach was offset a bit by having to constantly shuffle the key fobs around everytime someone went back or forth. The other: We ended up using Ike's beach service to rent an umbrella and a couple chairs. This service was very convenient and tho not cheap, well worth not having to set stuff up and take it down every day. In conclusion I felt this rental was a good value and we had nice time staying there. If I went back with the same group of people, I might shop around just to compare but wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again.

Awesome location! Great stay!!

We are all about location and they place was amazing! Beautiful ocean view. We could see the sunset and sunrise from our balconies and watch the dolphins. The condo is gorgeous and big. We had 6 people and was a good size. And we just walked down the steps and we were on the beach. We had such a good time. We could walk down the beach to the Hangout or the Pink Parrot. Only thing was the floor was a little dirty. Our feet were black before we got into bed.

More than we expected!

We rented the penthouse for a 10 day family vacation Sept 10-20. The property was exactly as pictured, perfectly situated on the beach and ample room for our family. Checkin was a breeze and communication with the property manager/owner was easy and quick. What made our trip more than we expected was...Sally! We watched the storm in the gulf day after day hoping it would miss us. Even though it became apparent it would not, we chose to stay and ride out what everyone expected to be a Cat 1 hurricane. Obviously that was not the case. I am so grateful to the property owner as he explained “we were in the safest place possible on the beach, with nothing but water in front of us (nothing to send debris flying)”. While riding out a hurricane is something I hope to never do again, we were completely safe and so very grateful for such a caring person who checked in on us regularly. By the way, even though the dunes were washed away and multiple units in the complex suffered some damage, the penthouse we were in had NONE! We WILL stay in the penthouse again. I highly recommend this property and urge anyone reading this review to book this unit, especially if you are traveling with family.
