About this property

BEST Location ~ Beautiful Oceanfront Condo & Pool ~ Walk to Restaurants

Castaway’s Condominiums is a 36 unit complex in the heart of Gulf Shores and is conveniently located at 327 East Beach Blvd. Our 3rd floor condo is on the beach where the view is wonderful with the ocean being just a few steps beyond the pool. Since this is a low-density complex, there are no crowds, and no long walks so you'll be on our large beach within minutes!

Being just 1/4 mile from the main Gulf Shores intersection we are within walking distance of many souvenir stores and restaurants including a favorite spot, The Hangout, which has live music, outside dining, shopping, games and a variety of entertainment for the whole family. We're just a short drive away from the zoo, water and amusement parks, OWA theme & water park, movie theaters, golf courses, deep sea fishing plus many shopping options including an outlet mall with over 100 stores.

With the incredible beach/ocean front view and the comfy sofa, table and chairs, our balcony is sure to be a favorite spot during your vacation. You will enjoy relaxing while listening to the surf. Be sure to look for the dolphins playing in the ocean during the morning hours. This third floor balcony is perfect for observing family and friends in the pool area.

The open layout in the living area is great for visiting with family and friends and features a beachfront view, 55” Flat Screen Smart TV, DVD player and sleeper sofa. The kitchen is fully equipped and contains all the cooking essentials and small appliances that you will need along with a washer and dryer.

The spacious master suite has two queen size beds and features a large oceanfront window, a 42' flat screen Smart TV, private access to the balcony, walk-in closet and newly remodeled bathroom. The second bedroom has a king size bed with a twin bunk over it plus a 32’ flat screen Smart TV plus a newly remodeled shower. Each bedroom has a private bathroom with double vanity sink, plenty of storage and a separate bath area.

You will enjoy the beachfront swimming pool which extends underneath the condo for relief from the sun. Lounge chairs are available on the deck and tables with seating available in the shade with two charcoal grills nearby. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rental along with jet-ski’s, kayaks, banana boats, paddle boards and parasailing. The Alabama State park is just minutes away with a great fishing pier and restaurants. Bicycles and motorized scooters are available for rent just across the street.

The Netflix app is available on every TV. We have also provided our guests with board games, books, magazines and DVD's for added relaxation.

Wonderful stay and great location

This is my second stay at this condo and I will definitely be back for the summer! I spent the weekend at this wonderful condo directly on the beach, and was able to walk to nearby restaurants and cute souvenir shops. I personally loved the Pink Pony Pub and The Hangout. There were also nice brunch places and coffee shops in walking distance. The condo itself is very clean and has many amenities. There are plenty of blankets and pillows, and the bedding is very comfortable. They provided more than enough kitchen supplies to cook with, and even had many seasonings to choose from. I enjoyed making a cup of coffee and sitting on the balcony with a great view in the morning. Toni was also very easy to communicate with. I am looking forward to returning to this beautiful condo.

The room was comfortable and homie for a group of 6! The pool was fun for the family. But when we got there to check in, it was late in the evening and the downstairs was dark like a dungeon but once we got the the room it was wonderful!

Family Spring Break Stay

We visited Gulf Shores with our 2 boys (7 and 10) and this was just perfect for us! I really appreciated how well stocked the condo was with stuff in the kitchen and games to play and much more. The location was great to walk to dinner, ice cream, and of course the beach! It was also wonderful to have a place with separate sleeping areas and bathrooms for us and the kids. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfectly located to all things

This was a cutely decorated, well located 2 bed 2 bath condominium. Wonderful proximity to the beach as well as a heated pool for when the ocean was rough or conditions prohibited going in. Equipped kitchen for eating any or all meals there with enough seating indoor or balcony (4pl). Also close walking distance to loads of restaurants and shops. Toni was gracious and good at getting back to all messages!

Castaways 3C

We stayed 4 nights. Location is great. Close to everything. Condo had everything you could need. Condo needs updating, furniture is old and not comfortable to relax on. Beds were not comfortable. Would be better if the master bedroom had a king size bed rather than 2 full/queen beds.

About the host

Hosted by Toni Romans

Host profile image
Hi! My sister & I are truly blessed to now own the condo where we have vacationed many times. Our family has lots of wonderful memories from our time here and we know that you will love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Location! Location! Location! It would be hard to find one better than our condo. There are many times we have vacationed here and left our car parked our entire visit. We are in close proximity to many restaurants, souvenir shops and stores. Also you will love our private balcony located directly on the beach overlooking the swimming pool and Gulf of Mexico. Our view is amazing!

What makes this property unique

Location that's not a high rise which means no crowds here! We have so much beach front property with a building of only 36 units.
