Right within walking distance to plenty of shops, restaurants, beach access, clean well-kept pool. Location was perfect. Really enjoyed our get away. Unit is probably due for some updates but worked fine for our stay.

5 stars!

I stayed at this condo for a week in June for a girls trip. The condo is in great location and walking distance from a lot of shops/restaurants. The condo was clean and as pictured. The view of the beach is great from the balcony and is a short walk from the condo. Lori was great; informative, kind, and replied quickly. I will be looking to stay here again in the future!

Family Vacay

Loved the property and view. Easy walk to beach with younger children and walking distance to several shops and restaurants. The only downside is the main bathroom had a few stray hairs from the previous guest in the tub and floor. I found the broom and brought my own supplies so took care of it myself. There was a card left by property manager for any cleaning needs within the first hour of check in. It was easier for me to take care of myself. I highly recommend this condo!

Nice condo

It was a nice condo, minimal kitchen ware. Would have been nice to have a blender and better pans. Could definitely tell it was a rental rather than owner occupied. Cleaning staff could have done a better job but are probably understaffed. Better if the sofa was a sofa bed. It is a great location and lovely pool.

This was our 1st visit to Gulf Shores and Lori and this property was amazing. The location was perfect. The view of the beach was fantastic. The pool was nice and warm, despite some of our cooler weather. My whole family made great memories and we can’t wait to come back here! Thanks Lori!

Wonderful weather!! Great location!!

Have stayed in Tropic Isle once before. Love the smaller high-rise condo. Unit was pretty clean, few minor issues that were definitely not deal breakers! Voiced our observations to Lori, not as complaints, just things that need to be addressed in the future. She replied back promptly and was very receptive to our concerns. If we ever decided to buy a condo on the beach, this condo building would be on the short list! Thank you Lori!
