Wonderful Stay
We had a great time staying here! The condo was very clean and just as pictured. The pool area was nice and the proximity to the beach was awesome! Also, it’s within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. We did quite a few of the suggested activities such as the Dolphin Fun Cruise, mini golf, The Warf, and The Hangout which were all great as well! We had so much fun and would highly recommend staying here!

Fabulous condo
My husband and rented this lovely condo for ourselves, my mother and 20 yr old daughter. Great space with plenty of room. It is just as nice as pictured and is only a short walk to beach. This was our first time at Sunny Side Up and our second time at Ocean Reef. You will not be disappointed! The owners were excellent as far as communication and response to questions. No complaints from our group!

Beautiful, clean, and safe!
We were in need of a much needed girls trip and wanted a cute place we could all have our own space and was super close to the beach. This VRBO was perfect! Steps to the beach, easy to walk everywhere and the condo had enough space for all of us. Organized, clean and even had a balcony for us to enjoy. Overall great experience and amazing host!

Would Stay Again!
This place was clean and comfortable, and the listing was accurate. It is a minute walk to the sand, which was very convenient with our young child. This place would be great for a family trip, a girls' weekend, etc. We could also walk to quite a few restaurants. The parking was convenient, check-in/out was extremely easy, the host was kind and helpful, and I really have no complaints.

Great beach getaway!!
My family and I absolutely loved staying at Christina’s Gulf shores retreat!! The place is beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we could ask for. We spent our nights relaxing on the deck while listening to the waves crashing on the shore. The location is a short walk to the beach and close enough to great eateries. Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to return to Christina’s place again!

Great Beach Stay!
Cristina’s place was amazing! It is very well decorated and comfortable. We’ve always fantasized what it’s like to live on the beach and Cristina’s place was right next to the sand. What also helped out a lot was her YouTube videos for some of the questions we had. We’ll definitely be back!

1st Time to Gulf Shores=Amazing Location
This was the perfect location for our relaxing week at the beach. We were just a few steps from the white sand and light waves. We were within walking distance to a variety of shops, restaurants, and hang outs. The condo was cute and decorated nicely. As an owner of rental properties, we have a few notices and suggestions. :) The bathrooms were pretty small and could use some hooks for hanging towels and suits that don't interfere with closing doors. It would also be helpful to have a mirror in the lofted bedroom. It was difficult to get ready when someone was in the bathroom. Overall, this unit met our expectations! We had a GREAT time and loved our first trip to the Golf Shores!

My husband and I LOVED our stay. We travel a lot, so we really appreciate when a host makes it easy for you with clear communication, easy check in and super comfortable beds. On top of a great space, the location was AMAZING!!! Sunset views from the balcony, yes please! It was exactly what we were looking for we would definitely rebook! We LOVED the fact that the beach was walkable and we also had access to the pool & bbq. Made for a really nice vacation for us. Great stay, responsive host, 5 star place!

Great Experience
I booked this condo for a quick weekend birthday celebration with my daughter. The location is terrific, with the beach moments away, a great pizza shop across the street, and a short walk to The Hangout. The unit is well furnished and the owner's YouTube videos made every aspect idiot-proof. The mattresses are fabulous; in fact, my biggest complaint is they are so comfortable it's hard to get up and go have fun! Continual communications with the owners were available and the smart lock technology eliminated the hassle of having another key to keep up. Overall, a top notch destination and we'd return again happily!

Feel free to book or message me first; I am friendly, outgoing, and happy to answer any specific questions in advance.

Hope to host you soon!
