Short stay, great experience!!

We had a last minute trip pop up due to moving our son to Nashville. We didn’t require a full week stay and it was prime rental season, but Lance was great to work with and we were able to make the short week work. The condo was clean, updated, great location and just as advertised.

Loved our stay!

Came down after Christmas for a quick getaway before a busy new year. The 7th floor end unit had a beautiful view of the gulf and the bay. Could see both sunrise and sunset from unit. No tall buildings blocking the view. It was updated and furnished with everything we needed. Loved that we were able to bring our small dog. Will definitely return.

Christmas break

Overall, the property is very nice and the owner/manager is extremely responsive to questions. The condo is in good condition and the property is a great location. As other reviewers have mentioned, there isn’t anywhere good to walk a dog - small dog it’s ok but a larger dog would definitely be problematic. Not the site’s fault, just due to the location and city rule about no dogs on the beach. Two issues that made the stay difficult for us. First, the pull out sofa bed is awful. Springs covered by a sheet, essentially. It would be much better if the owner could provide a supplemental 1-2 inch foam pad to use. Second, we had a lot of trouble with the Nest thermostat because we aren’t familiar with them. The first night it kept dialing the heat back significantly, too much for one of the elderly guests. Finally figured out how to remove the set points but there has to be a better way to manage temperature control. Either leave instructions or something. All in all, I would love to rent the property again but not if I planned to use the pullout sofa!

About the host

Hosted by Lance & Courtney Steffek

We live in Gulf Shores and love the area. We have 4 children; Emma, Lachlan, Lennox and Piper that love the beach and pools. We are not far away and enjoy staying at Caribbean when other families are not enjoying it. It has been such a joy owning this unit and being able to share it with other families throughout the year. And it has been a fun journey renovating; making it a truly luxurious, high-end destination.

Why they chose this property

We like the low density of only 32 units but all the amenities of a larger complex. Also the 9' ceilings which give it a larger feel than many of the other condos in the area.
