Perfect condo and getaway

The condo was absolutely stunning and had everything we could need or want. The attention to detail was incredible. The owner made sure that we had all the information that we needed to have a smooth check-in and stay. We can’t wait to return to Gulf Shores and this condo will be at the very top of our list!

Amazing Trip

Another amazing trip to the Gulf Shores area. Such an awesome area. Condo was incredible. Furnishings, cleanliness, location, amenities, etc were all top notch. Emily was a pleasure to work with and communication after a small issue I caused was very quick. Could not have been more pleased. We will definitely look to book this condo again when returning to the area. Thanks Emily!

Beautiful condo

Beautiful condo. Very comfortable beds. Huge shower in master. Easy access to beach and stunning views. Would stay here again. I was surprised that we only had two rolls of toilet paper and no extra trash bags for kitchen trash for a 4 night stay with 4 people. Owner said it was an oversight by the housekeeper but you may want to bring extra.

Perfect condo for family beach trip!!

Wonderful condo, updated throughout with well stocked kitchen with pans/utensils, very comfortable beds with high quality bedding, well furnished main areas and all the extras, updated awesome main bathroom/shower. Main closet has baby items (pack n play, high chair, seat and toys), porch storage with some beach toys and even light weight beach chairs. Laundry machines very new and clean. Walking distance to many great restaurants. Beach access and pool clean, well kept. Office staff very helpful during check in process, property felt safe and secure. Gave 4 stars for check in because had issues with the VRBO app not sending messages through so more a reflection of the app than this property. Property management team was very responsive and made up for it with great service the rest of the trip.

Exceeded Expectations

Everything about this condo exceeded our expectations. This condo shows and feels more like a personal residence then the standard churn and burn condos out in the rental market. Communication was fantastic with the owner, very fast response time. It was very quite and we were there for the tail end of shrimp fest when we expected to hear a ton of noise. View from deck was stunning, and the table and chairs on the deck were top notch. Will book again on our next trip to Gulf Shores.

Beautiful, clean property!

This condo was perfect! It was clean (and I’m so picky about this) and beautiful! It was fully stocked with everything we needed and more. Was pleasantly surprised to see sound machines in both rooms, a pack and play, a few toys and games too! Large TVs with easy access to Netflix and YouTube TV. The condo building itself had a great pool, great beach access, walking distance to great restaurants. The only con I have is that I did not realize parking would be extra. The day we checked in I got an email stating that a parking pass would be an extra $50. We would definitely stay here again!

Odor of Mildew/Mold throughout Condo

We have always had great experiences with VRBO properties until this trip. We were enticed by the location and beautiful pictures of this property. The condo has been remodeled and posted pictures are accurate in regard to decor. There is a strong odor of mildew/mold throughout. We never located the source of the smell, but it permeated the entire condo. After one night, we bought three Fabreeze double plug-ins which helped mask the odor to some degree. We tried sleeping in both bedrooms, but neither bed was comfortable. The master bed had a thick memory foam pad which we suspected might be a source of smell. The guest bedroom mattress was hard and made squeaky noises when one of us rolled over during the night. The thermostat is problematic especially at night. The temperature setting could be adjusted but the setting wouldn't hold for more than a short period of time. The thermostat seemed to be locked into a setting that allowed only so many hours of operation at random times during a 24-hour period. Very odd and very frustrating!

Wonderful experience

This is the prettiest, cleanest, and wonderfully decorated condo with lots of special touches from owner. The pool was beautiful, great size with partial shade and more pool chairs than most condos. Great beach setup with very friendly staff on beach and with helping me with printing of parking passes on arrival. I would seriously consider planning vacation dates around availability of this unit!

Emily was very communicative and more than generous when a slight blunder occurred w our reservation- even when it turn out to be inconsequential to our stay! The condo was fresh and clean! The view was wonderful! The beach was a very short walk and very clean! We would definitely stay here again!
