Family Beach Vacation

Very nice property. Quiet, clean, updated decor, nice pool & hot tub. Unfortunately, the previous renters had turned the fridge and freezer all the way up, so the unit froze up, which meant we had to unplug it and let it thaw out before we could use it. The owner brought over coolers and ice for our groceries until the fridge could be used again. Despite the minor hiccup, we really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect!

This property was even better than we expected! It's beautifully decorated and spacious. The neighbors were so friendly and helpful and Phyllis was fantastic to work with. I would highly recommend this condo for a trip to Gulf Shores. The location is perfect if you're not looking to stay right on the beach.

We liked mostly everything about the property! The one and only downfall was the huge water bugs that came in or attempted to come in at night!! So if the outside of the property could be be sprayed for bugs, I wouldn’t have any complaints. The owner responded quickly to my message when we wanted to extend our stay another night! The pool was nice! Would definitely stay again!

Fantastic place!

We’ve stayed at the colony club before but had a different condo. We chose this because of size. And we loved it! Clean and Great communication with the owner! She helped us get in earlier as we got in earlier than planned. Plenty of space and easy setup. We definitely plan on coming back! Thank you!!! We love the Gulf Shores!

Quiet and Peaceful Stay

We were very pleased with the spacious layout of the condo. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was roomy and very well stocked with everything needed to prepare meals if you want to "eat in." Condo is located on the ground floor which is good for elderly or handicapped people. It is located close to the Tanger Outlets for great shopping, and not too far from the beach and The Wharf in Orange Beach. All in all, it was a pleasant stay, and if staying on the beach is not important to you, I would highly recommend this condo.

Lowe family review

We had a good stay with the exception of the pool. It seemed there were people there from the general public and not enough room as people took over the pool With their group. Needed more than one maybe.

Family Vacation

The pictures of the condo and grounds in the listing are accurate. The condo was clean. The fitness facitility and pool were nice. It was quiet except for the duck that thought it was a rooster during most of the mornings :). It had a combo VCR/DVD player but the unit & remote control did not have all the functions to properly control the DVD (just play/stop/eject). Communication with the owner was very good. A good place from which to explore the surrounding attractions. I recommend this condo.

Some issues, but overall good Condo

The fridge did not work correctly. We had some food spoil because the fridge was not cold enough. The tenants before us also noticed this as they adjusted the temperature of the fridge to the coldest setting. The owner messaged me letting me know that this had apparently foze the fridge and that the setting on the fridge is not to be adjusted. There was also several shards of broken glass on the floor throughout the condo. There were 3 or 4 roaches that we had to kill as well. Overall the condo and amenities of the complex were good. The HOA and owner/members are pretty strict which isn't a huge issue other than the prompt closing of the pool at 10. One of the ladies closing the pool was extremely rude, which isn't something you want to have to deal with on a vacation. The beds were extremely comfortable and the condo comes with everything necessary for the stay. Owners had good communication and I wouldn't hesitate to stay at a property of theirs again. Overall was a positive experience.

Softball Nationals and Family Vacation

The best thing about this condo is it is central to all things. Close to the beach, the Warf, Foley, shops, grocery stores, restaurants etc. Pool looked nice but the one time we tried to get in after a hot softball game it was padlocked shut and it was 8:45pm and was suppose to be open until 10. Condo has the necessities you need and enjoyed the crockpot that was provided and was able to prep a dinner to be ready when we got done with a late game. Being from the country bugs and things don't necessarily bother me too much but nightly we had to move frogs away from the door so we could enter without them coming in with us. They perch everywhere eating the bugs from the outdoor light. Little green tree frogs and one big toad were our nightly visitors. We got to see a few baby lizards around the stairs and rocks as we walked to our car.

Overall stay

Everything was nice and clean but me nor my family have no reason to steal 4 pillows. Before calling accusing that the pillows were missing check with your housekeeping since they are very professional which they weren’t. I feel just because my sister brought her pillow in and throws when the cameras where being watch Linda felt the need to say they missing but all alone the pillows were in the storage. That’s not very professional to me! Linda called back to apologize but what should’ve been done 1st is to check before accusing someone of stealing a pillow that wasn’t worth stealing.

About the host

Host profile image
Linda and Phillip started this venture together in 2011. We loved the location!
We reside in Baldwin County for over 25+ years where we raised 2 wonderful children. We live just a few miles away. We enjoy staying there any chance we are able to get away.
The location is perfect easy to get around. Private setting on back porch.

Why they chose this property

Location/Location. You are right in the middle of everything Gulf Shores has to offer. The new GULF SHORES ZOO walking distance. OWA THEME PARK, WATER PARK, The TRACK Beach is 4.5 miles to put you feet in the water. Tanger Outlet Shopping Mall 4.5 miles. Great restaurant, bar, entertainment. Just about anything you would like to do.Gulf Shores has it all. Never a dull moment in Gulf Shores. Yet Colony Club feels like Home, Private, Peaceful, Family involvement and Quite.

What makes this property unique

Our condo to feel like home. Clean crisp colors with comfortable furniture. Relaxing by the pool. Evening at the Fire-pit and enjoying the Jacuzzi or play a little tennis. Being able to walk on the beautiful white sand beach at any time. We enjoy this property mostly in the off season. October, November, April and May are my favorite months here. It's not real busy then but the weather is still nice.
