Great location for the family to be beach bums!

We have stayed in this condo a couple of times for our fall break vacations. It's a great location to be right on the beach with a store, restaurant, and ice cream shop right across the street. You're just a short drive from several great restaurants and family fun. You have all the needed amenities to have a great week of family fun! We will definitely keep coming back!

Great location

We came in 2017 and loved it so we came back.. This condo is perfect for families.. Clean, friendly great access to beach and great ice cream across the road. Impressed they had sand toys for kids, a beach chair and a nice coffee maker.. Downfall, sheets had sand on them first night and a stain on bunk bed so not sure the sheets were cleaned.. I had to wash them but overall we will be back again and stay at sunrise village!! Plenty to do and very kid friendly.. everyone is so nice.. saw a lot of dolphins as well🐬..

Only dislike we had was the parking spot by the stairs. It made it smaller than other spots. We had to get all of our stuff out the truck before parking it. If you have a car probably wouldn't be a problem.

Nice place! Mattresses, not so much

I would definitely stay here again, but I would bring mattress toppers for sure. The mattresses were very thin and hard. It took a while each morning to resolve the soreness in our bodies, which was a bummer. The property manager, Stephanie, was fantastic! We were harassed by some guests above us, and she handled the situation nicely. I would stay here again for sure, but definitely bringing the mattress toppers!

For the price to be about the same as others in the complex the amenities were somewhat poor. Clean and great location, but microwave needed some help and maybe some updated furnishings.

Hi, thanks for you review, as it sounds like you had a great stay, but we didn't understand the review level. The unit was completely remodeled and painted just over 2 years ago, so it's all nearly new, and guests just love it. Brand new HE Bosch stack washer/dryer, Cubie Blue charging speakers in each bedroom, SMART TV, so this unit's amenities generally top the others in the complex. A prior guest put a crack in the plastic of the microwave door that was repaired. It works perfectly. We'd sure appreciate an opportunity for a 5 star stay, as this is a consistent 4 & 5 Star condo!

Uncomfortable

Upon entering the condo, everything looks great, clean, and perfect view of the beach and location. After staying there we noticed things were not so great. The mattresses were extremely uncomfortable, the sheets were very cheap and scratchy, and the bathroom had mold on the ceiling. Would not stay here again.

Beautiful and great location

Third year staying at sunrise village and second year in this exact room.. as we just love it and love it sleeps 6 for our family of 6.. Only thing was the washer/dryer.. complicated and the dryer took forever to dry items and then clothes came out smelling.. Key was hard to lock/unlock and last year they had beach toys and chairs and this year there wasn’t.. sheets were dirty coming in as well.. Real impressed with the decor and they updated the TVs in the bedrooms.. they were bigger.. that was awesome!!! Would we book the condo again? Absolutely!! Great condo, love the ice cream shop across street, love we can walk out on beach and easy to check in and check out!! Price for the week is reasonable as well Thank you for a great week and a great stay!!!

Left a message to confirm charges on my card as it charged VRBO charges and didn’t seem to process the remainder. They never called me back, then had to call 3 times to figure out my reservations. They man not once asked questions or tried to find our reservation until my third call and said call you look up my name and wow found it. Rude and ridiculous!

Not a great stay

We’ve been coming to Gulf Shores for years and have stayed at several condos in Sunrise Village, but unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience we’ve had.Just before our trip, we were notified that the building would be under construction. While a full refund was offered, the notice was so short that we couldn’t find another place to stay—so we were stuck.From the moment we arrived, the view was completely obstructed by construction equipment, portable toilets, and noise from constant work being done. On top of that, the fire marshal and city inspector showed up on our first day and forced about a third of the building to vacate. The entire beachside section was shut down due to rotting wood and structural safety concerns.Inside the unit, things didn’t improve. The front door barely opened because the floor was so warped it blocked the door. A strong mildew smell hit us immediately. The bathroom had visible mold, none of the bedroom doors would latch shut, and the queen bed was rock hard with only a sheet and a paper-thin blanket provided.The dryer was another headache—despite cleaning the lint trap every time, it worked inconsistently. Sometimes it wouldn’t start, and other times it shut off mid-cycle.Needless to say, by the end of the trip, we were more than ready to leave. We love Gulf Shores and will definitely be back—but never to this unit again. It desperately needs repairs, updates, and a lot more transparency with guests

Response from VrboOwner on 25 June 2025
We’re very sorry your experience was so negatively impacted — but we want to be absolutely clear: we, as the rental agent, had no control over the construction or the late notice provided by the HOA and their contractor. Like you, we were blindsided by the timing and couldn’t believe they moved forward with so little warning. As you mentioned, we immediately offered a full refund and strongly encouraged guests to cancel if they weren’t comfortable — and it’s frustrating to now be held responsible for something completely outside of our control. It’s also incredibly unfair to the owner of this unit who has invested thousands into updates, including: Professionally installed luxury vinyl plank flooring (which is level and in excellent condition) Premium Nectar and Casper mattresses Stainless steel appliances A ventless dryer system (inspected and confirmed to be functioning properly — ventless dryers take longer and work best with smaller loads, which is noted in our materials) We never heard from you before, during, or after your stay, until your review — and had we known about any concerns, we would have done everything in our power to help in real time. That’s what we’re here for. Instead, it feels like your understandable frustration with the construction situation is being directed at the unit and our team, even though we were transparent, responsive, and offered every opportunity to cancel without penalty. Again, we regret that your stay wasn’t what you hoped for, but we stand by the way we handled a difficult situation that was entirely out of our hands.

It was managable

We arrived in Gulf Shores at 3. I got the key from Gulfsands rentals, but did not enter the condo till 4. When we walked in there was still sand on the floor(a lot of it). That was no big deal. The queen size bed and the pull out couch was outdated. The pull out couch looked okay but when I sat on it, the bottom of the couch fell down. When it came time to pull the bed out for my teen, the mattress smelled like it had been peed on over and over and the metal pull out bars were rusted. My daughter is the only 1 who needs a tv to go to sleep, but in her room there was a universal remote and the tv was not connected to the Wi-Fi/internet. Could not connect it due to not being able to switch to numbers for the code. I did call the next morning to tell about the bed and tv a few times but there was no answer and I had plans and could not wait around, if I would have left a message would have had to do just that. The bathroom was small and the toilet is so close to the wall, my husband is a bit bigger than I am and that was not a good fit for him. Over all an updated couch and a working universal remote would have made my teen and my preteen happy.

The parking space for 104 is very narrow. We were in a suburban and had to park nearly in the driveway in order to enter/exit the vehicle. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. Very convenient right on the beach.

Thank you for staying with us. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and loved the convenient beachfront location. Parking at Sunrise Village can be tight, especially for larger vehicles, which is why we note this on the listing so guests can plan accordingly. While the parking layout is a building feature outside of our control, we understand it can be tricky. We hope you enjoyed the condo itself, including the newly renovated shower, updated interior, comfortable bedding, and easy beach access. We work hard to provide a 5-star guest experience, and we would love the opportunity to host you again.

I require very little to be happy but this was terrible. I have never written a bad review anywhere.

This condo was advertised as very clean with WiFi. I was unable to get the WiFi to work and when I contacted Gulf Sands Rentals I was told I could call the internet company. 😂I am on vacation and did not want to do that. Also, I contacted them about a huge burn/crack in the microwave door and obvious black mold/mildew on over half the ceiling above the shower 🤮. The company told me it was moisture. I also reported that the drawers were nasty with chip cans and ocean water. There was no apology or righting any wrongs. There were 3 TVs and about 6 remotes, and none of them had batteries. We bought those. There was at least one light out in the bedroom and the shower curtain had lots of mold and mildew along with someone else’s hair and a sponge left. There was water on the floor from somewhere in the refrigerator. I would never stay at this unit again. The location is amazing and we may try the magnolia that was on the top floor and rents from Three 20s LLC.
