About this property

We have a beautiful condo with a great view of the pool area and Little Lagoon. It is on the forth floor and you can see both from the living room and one bedroom. You also have your own private balcony. This family-friendly resort complex is the perfect place to enjoy your vacation in Gulf Shores. We are located on West Beach, a short distance from downtown Gulf Shores, where you will find endless restaurants, shopping, and entertainment.

The two-bedroom, one-bath unit is comfortably decorated, and ready to be enjoyed by you and your family!

Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club is a beautiful resort located on exclusive West Beach among multi-million dollar private residences. It faces the Gulf of Mexico on one side and Little Lagoon on the other.

The landscaping is just beautiful! Lush palm trees and flowers surround the large pool with a double-sided rock waterfall. The children's pool is steps away along with a hot tub for the adults. Charcoal grills and picnic tables by the Lagoon are perfect for grilling out by sunset.

The complex also has two lighted tennis courts, shuffleboard, and so much more! For the boaters, we have a boat ramp and two private piers, one with boat slips. ACROSS THE STREET there is 100 feet of our private beach with a covered Gazebo for our guests. All this and just a short distance from downtown Gulf Shores, you will find endless restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. You cannot beat this Deal Anywhere in Gulf Shores!

As the sun sets, walk to the end of one of the piers with your favorite beverage in hand and look back at the lighted courtyard of the Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club. Most likely, you’ll join the countless others who have taken in this view and exclaim, 'Wow, Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club really is beautiful!'

Beach / Ball Vacay

We came to Gulf Shores with our ball team to play in a week long tournament. It was the perfect location for 12 head of teenage boys. They was able to fish from the docs, play pickle ball on the tennis courts, swim in the pool and swim at the beach. It is located outside of the busy part of town and it was very peaceful. We used the grills to have a team cookout. At night, we walked across to the beach to go look for crabs. The rooms did appear bigger on the internet than in person, and some of them could be updated. However, the one our family stayed in was comfortable and functional. We would definitely consider staying again.

It was ok

Owners were amazing people. Bed in ‘master’ could be better. Couch could be update a bit. Overall wasn’t too bad and we made it work. Owners were super fast to respond to anything. Bring more toilet paper and cleaning supplies.

Great location, average unit, terrible mattress

Place was fairly clean but had a lot of sand left on the floor and not cleaned from previous guest. Main complaint was the hardness of the mattresses. My wife nor I could get comfortable on the beds or couch so slept a lot in the chairs. Definitely the worst mattresses we've experienced at any rental we've stayed at. Other than these 2 things the unit was great. We would love to stay at the complex again but wouldn't stay at this unit again unless new mattresses are purchased.

Not Again

What they dont tell you in the advertisement is that out of about 4 or 5 elevators only 1 is working. The hot tub wasnt working,the stdps to get in the pool was loose and unsafe. The tennis courts had NO nets and wasnt kept up. Our condo had broken handles and locks on the balcony doors. The pots and pans still had food in them. the light above the table had no bulb. The rocking chair people said felt sticky so no one sat in it. Then the property manager gives lies to us and says they cant put in a fire pit for the guests to enjoy out on all the grass they got cause its NOT allowed in Alabama. But thats a lie cause i contacted someone about it and Alabama is one of the most relaxed states when it comes to fire pits and camp fires. Plus i got relatives who live in Mobile.. So next year,we will be finding a different place to stay when we come down.

Great location

The location was great! We stayed there for a baseball tournament. Restaurants were within a 15 minute drive so the area wasn’t overcrowded with people. Condo was very clean when we arrived.

Very impressed

There were five of us, including one in a wheelchair/scooter. Accessibility was never and issue as the elevator helped a lot. Communication was A+ as they respond within minutes.

Non Crowded beach, pool, bed... That's all we needed. :)

This was a fine place to stay. The room was a little small for my family of 5, but it's only supposed to be for 4, so I can't complain. The owner was SO QUICK to respond to some of my routine questions before our stay. The room could use an extra roll of Paper Towels and toilet paper though. We bought some and left them in the room for others. The Beach was right across the street, which I thought would be a pain, but it was great! The private beach made for easy chair positioning and less walking. The pool wasn't huge but there weren't alot of people in it so it was great while we were there. There were 2 negatives which will be resolved soon, so don't let this stop you. All but one main Elevator were still down due to the Hurricane 8 months previously. It made for alot of waiting. But on the 5th floor, we easily used the stairs to go down. used the vator to go up sometimes. The other negative was the foul smell in the main lobby of the condo. I think it was where a trash collected in a nearby trash room. They need to fix that. It did get a little better as the week went on. Maybe it was due to my boisterous disapproval while in the lobby. :) Other than that, it was a Great stay and we would consider it again in the future!

Great Location but resort and condo needs updates

Had a great vacation and the view and location is great. Pros: 1. Great view of pool and lagoon. 2. Easy walking distance to beach 3. Owner is very responsive and friendly Cons: 1. When we arrived all of the 3 elevators were broke down so we had to take the 5 flights of stairs with our luggage. They did get the 1 elevator repaired later that day (the other 2 we knew would be down for the week). 2. Tennis courts still not repaired though when we booked it said it would be ready in May and that is one of the main reasons we booked this condo 3. Piers still under construction 4. Refrigerator in room did not cool and we had to throw out food - the owner of the property responded quickly though and had someone come look at it. They reset the fridge to defrost and it did get slightly cooler in the next 24 hours but not enough to keep food fresh. She couldn't replace fridge b/c there is no where down there to buy one she said. Super friendly though and tried to help as much as possible. Ended up refunding me some money for the trouble 5. Beds - bring your own sheets as the ones on the beds are super uncomfortable and scratchy. Cheap sheets. 6. the place could use some new pots and pans and organization of them as they were just thrown in a pile in the pantry and above the water heater. Overall even with the issues, we had a great vacation and would still recommend staying here assuming they can get the fridge replaced and the resort gets the tennis courts fixed.

Nice place in a quiet area

I really enjoyed our stay. Would do so again. If you're looking for fun within walking distance, I wouldn't stay here though. The only complaint I have is that they only provide 1 roll of toilet paper, but even that didn't detract from our overall experience.

Summer Vacation

We came to Gulf Shores to see grandsons play baseball. This resort was a great way to get in out of heat. Quick walk to beach. Pools clean. Great view of water. Would stay here again. Apartment was very clean. Since had washer/ dryer in it, going home with clean clothes. Always a plus

Everything you need away from home!!

The owner was extremely responsive, the condo had all the comforts of home, and the view of the lagoon was gorgeous. The condo is right above the pool area which was also beautiful and entertaining. Beach access was a huge plus. We did have some trouble with Wi-Fi, and the property is somewhat dated, but for us, those weren't the important things. It was a great place to stay overall, and we plan to try to do it again.

Relaxing place after a day at the beach or pool

I rented this unit for my daughter. As I was leaving she said, "I have fallen in love with this place". Guess that is a good testimonial. The owner is in the process of updating the furnishings so they look a little different from the ones on the website, but in a positive way. This unit has all the amenities including washer/dryer which means, no loads of laundry to dread when you get home. Another great extra is wi-fi for those who have to remain connected even on vacation. The properity as wi-fi, but it is not satisfactory in all units. There is a clean uncrowded private beach, lovely pool area, horseshoe pits, girlls, tennis courts, and 2 wharfs. The view of the lagoon and pool from the balcony makes a great place to have morning coffee. The owner was so co-opertive and willing to answer my many questions and even made a date change. The property is away from the noisey crowds, but close to activities, restaurants, and a new fishing pier. I definitely recommend this unit and total property.

The condo was very clean and well equipped. I did miss seeing the beach, but the bay view is really nice also. Only thing missing was a hairdryer and a phone book. When my check arrived, I was called which made a BIG difference in feeling secure with the owner. I would return.
