Getaway
On line description did not meet their actual decription. The furniture is old and worn. Sofa smelled like dirty feet. The sheets on the bed had not been changed. On either bed. Floors were very dirty. Bugs in the lights above the dining table. Everything was dusty. The only thing good was the bed. The mattresses were comfortable. Towels in the bathrooms were dingy and stained. I contacted the Housekeeping manager and the Apt. Manager. Neither of them contacted me about anything. I spent the first night washing sheets until 2 A. M. . I took pictures of everything and sent them to management. They never contacted me except to ask me how our first night was. When i address the isdues. She never responded. I should get the fee refunded that we paid for housekeeping and hostess fee. The only thing that we did was sleep there. And take showers after I washed all the towels and sheets. Such a waste of money.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo! It was perfect! The location of this place can’t be beat. Perfect for fishing and relaxing. No waits for elevators or over crowded pool. It’s such a retreat. The unit itself had everything we needed! Only complaint I’d have was having to walk so far to take the garbage out. They need a trash shoot, but of course that’s not a huge deal!! The beds and furniture were all very comfortable! Will definitely recommend this place to friends or family I have visiting Gulf Shores.

Adequate
Location was best thing about the condo. water was warm and there sand bar you can walk out far way. The condo was as advertised. They supply absolute minimum. I haven't had bring hair dryer anywhere in 10 yrs! One roll to each bathroom and I roll paper towels. One garbage bag per basket. Did have 2 bath towels and washcloths per person. No condiments, etc. I thought company owned property, but the condo manager said owned by a person. No homey touches. White has been used several times in furniture and kitchen cabinets to look fresh instead of replace. Wifi didn't work and yes we called. No call back. The condo manager even gave us different password and it didn't work. People been complaining for 3vyrs about this so should be taken off as offered or available. Fishing pier was nice. Caught some fish and crabs

Even a tropical storm couldn’t ruin our vacation
The condo was great. We arrived just as Tropical Storm Cristobal was passing through. The condo was great. The pool was really nice. We didn’t have internet while we were there....they were installing fiber optics & were in & out of the condo during our vacation. It wasn’t an issue since we were there to disconnect for a week. The public beach access was a close walk. Another tenant put up a tent on the little beach area along with a playpen & beach toys for a couple days. The property managers had them put the things away. It was nice the beautiful view was back. We’re planning on staying again next year.

Family Vacation
We enjoyed staying in Condo 308. It was very clean and lots of space for all of us. We were able to sit on the balcony and view the lagoon and the swimming pool. Also, just a short walk to the beach. I definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful water view of Lagoon and pool.
We enjoyed our stay at Compass Point. We loved where it is located - away from the crowds in the business district. Just a short walk across the road to the ocean. It is a private area at the end of the road, so no through traffic. The condo is kind of bare bones - nothing special. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable however; which goes a long way with us! It took 3 days to get our Wi-Fi to hook on, and it was very minimal at that. Neither of the DVDs at the property worked either. It had very few amenities. The view from the balcony was one of the best things about it. You can see the pool and the Lagoon and it has a nice sitting area to eat breakfast or lunch.

It was a great stay, the condo and area were very nice. We loved the location!! Again it was very nice! Plenty of room for a family of four and laundry facilities were great to have with daily trips to the beach! The only issue we had was the WiFi, we couldn't connect most of the time and when we did get connected we would get kicked off shortly after.

Great getaway location for the family
Compass point has everything you need to enjoy a beach vacation and not have to be right on the beach. Located on the bay with easy access to everything makes it a great location. Swimming, kayaking, fishing, and a short walk to the gulf beach. The only thing that wasn’t as advertised for this property was the lack of WiFi but hopefully they will replace the outdated system soon. We were able to get past it, but the advertisement should be corrected. Also, the property,anager, Steve, was fantastic. Always around to help out when needed. Overall a great vacation. We will be back (just fix the WiFi).

Loved staying at Compass point.
It was great! Enough room for a family of 5 for a week's vacation. Brought our own kayaks and had a great time kayaking in Little Lagoon. My younger kids loved the pool. Would love to come back again!
