Overall Good

Place was very nice. I did not see any replacement garbage bags. One bag for 5 days was not acceptable. It would have been better to throw away the one beach chair in the laundry room then to leave it as an option. It's rusty and rickety. The dishwasher needs to be secured. It tips down when loading the top shelf. Other than those things it was a nice place to stay.

Good but definitely needs attention

The condo was “ok” but definitely needs some attention to the interior unit as well as the entire property. I understand the rental company only has so much control over this so I want to be fair in my criticism. Was it the worst rental I have ever had? No. But was it far from the best? Yes. Pros: great beach access, great balcony views, convenient location, responsive management, and comfortable mattresses. Unfortunately for just about every pro there is a con: balcony has amazing sunrise views but some of the worst furniture for lounging including cushions that were ripped and spilling out. Unit had pictures showing rugs for comfortable interior but not inside at the unit. Flooring was dirty (management did send a crew to clean a second time) but it just appears as it’s an older unit flooring is worn out. Again would be fine if rugs maybe were in the unit. Baseboards and walls definitely could use a good paint job and caulking. The property itself could use a more attention to details to fix multiple areas of rusting, falling a part, or neglected maintenance. Pool area had missing tiles and green algae looking growth in areas. Hottub had lots of sand inside the water and was severely stained. Not sure whether the HOA or not controls the Key fob system but it is a complete joke having to play Russian roulette to figure out what keys work. Overall it was just an okay place but deceptive pictures and reviews mislead like this place is 4-5 stars. Dont have high hopes.

We loved staying here! The only issue was that the master bath had no working shower. We had to use the guest bath shower. Otherwise, it was fabulous! Would stay here again.

Loved this place!

My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary in Gulf Shores. We found this cute condo and LOVED IT! The views are amazing! The neighborhood is quiet, and easy to get in and out. We loved that the beach was just a quick elevator ride downstairs. If you are on the fence of where to stay in GS, this is the place! We would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you for a wonderful week!

We had a great time. The condo was really nice. iTrip was great to deal with when we had a minor issue. I wish we could just use a code to access the beach. Using the fabs wasn't ideal. I would recommend a new mattress in the master bedroom. Otherwise everything was great. Great views and location.

This place was amazing. Looked just like the pictures. Beautiful view on the balcony, the furniture was so pretty. The only downside was the TV in the living room wasn’t working. Apart from that, I would for sure boook again this exact same condo. 10/10 recommend.

Disappointed

**Positive:** The condo offers a spectacular view and management company is reachable. **Negative:** The furniture is significantly stained and worn. The king bed is lumpy and uncomfortable. Utensils and cookware provided are old and of very low quality. The condo is minimally stocked, with only one roll of toilet paper, one roll of paper towels, no hairdryer, and low-quality linens and towels. Additionally, the management company requires guests to wash and put away dishes upon checkout. **Conclusion:** I would not recommend this condo.

Beautiful Views and Great Location

We totally enjoyed our stay here! Very clean and well maintained. The views of sunrises and sunsets from the large balcony were fantastic! Easy access to the beach (although not all of the fabs worked). Walking distance to lots of shopping and restaurants.

Weekend getaway

My husband I loved the location of the condo and were able to walk to the Shrimp festival . It was really nice to have two reserved parking spaces right by the elevators. The condo looked exactly like the pictures. The only things I would recommend is to have more comfortable outdoor patio furniture with something to prop your feet up on. The view is amazing and the seating wasn’t ideal especially for how big the patio was. Also to please include extra blankets. The bedding is really thin and it would have being nice to have another blanket to throw on the beds.

Relaxed

Clean, new balcony cushions, and a great location. Love all the light-colored finishes. Guest shower did not work but contacted the host to take care of once our stay was over. Not perfect for senior renters as the toilet is low and no handles but you can always bring items to help with your stay. Have rented this condo many times and will back again.

great stay

We loved the location and all the things that came with the place. The only complaint I have is that the sliding doors to balcony would not lock and there was no way to lock the front door from the inside. This is not child friendly when they could get up in the middle of the night and just walk out to balcony or the front door. Other then that it was a great stay.
