Great spot near Gulf Shores

This listing was just as described if not better! Nice new pool, close to shopping and within walking distance of pubs, coffee, rolled ice cream and even cheesecake! Condo was nicely furnished and had most everything you would want (cookware, silverware, community ice machine and washer/dryer, full size fridge). Nice size bed and pull out sofa. I would recommend bringing extension cords and adapters. Short drive to beautiful beaches. Area is a lot like other beach towns but more quaint and laid back! Would love to come back again!

Great stay!

This is the second time we stayed at this location. We loved how cute the property was and easy access to the pool. It’s a short drive to the public beach and everything that Gulf Shores and Orange Beach have to offer. Bonus that it’s next door to a cute little coffee shop. There’s a park across the street with a playground and sidewalks to get a little exercise. We will definitely be back to the Island Villas!

Clean and comfortable

Had a great quick trip here. The room had everything I needed and had a lot of old school gulf shores charm. Pool area looked nice. Walking distance to coffee shop deli and a cool brewery. Highly recommend staying here if you want to avoid some of the beach crowds or just want something quiet and quaint.

Lovely but needs a deep clean

This property offered a small refurbished motel feel. The grounds are kept immaculately. The pool area is wonderful! The space was great for the two of us that were traveling. A deep clean would make this property 5 ⭐️.

Convenience

It would have been a 5 stars had it lack a few things. This was a girls trip and we were at the beach ALL day so this was a great property for us. It is convenient. 10 minutes from orange beach and cotton bayou beach. 1 hour From Pensacola. Lots of things to do that’s near by. And if don’t like the beach. They have a pool to relax in.
