Great stay in a great location. Was excellent stay for a last minute booking on the Gulf of America. Would definitely stay here again and will be looking for this property when booking next year's trip.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we added an extra day to our stay! Great location! It had everything we needed!

Thanks for the glowing review! I’m thrilled to hear you loved the location—being just a short walk from the beach is definitely our style. 🌊
We aim to be one of the best condos you’ve stayed in, so hearing that from you is like music to my ears! If you’re ready for another round of sun and fun, you know where to find us.
Great location with great views. Easy walk to the Hangout and restaurants, stores. And about a 15 minute drive to Orange Beach. We stayed over Spring Break and wasn't overly busy, but wasn't overly warm either. Would stay here again!
Exactly as described. Perfect for spring break trip with 2 teenagers. Will definitely book again!

Looking forward to hosting you again and creating more memorable experiences. If there’s anything specific you’d like for your next visit, just let us know!
We enjoyed our stay at Gulfsands. Very relaxing and had everything we needed. There was an issue with an appliance but they fixed it in a matter of hours. Super nice people.
Wish I could have a do over of the stay as the 3 flights of stairs were brutal and I didn’t realize there was an elevator until the day we left HAH! Nice view from the balcony. My only complaint is the balcony furniture is very uncomfortable and the master bed is very squeaky.
Overall a really wonderful condo with a fabulous view of the beach and ocean. My only complaint was that the linens smelled musty.

Hi Nicki, thanks for the fabulous review! We strive for 5's!
Our bedding is equipped with triple sheeting, so this creates a clean bed with every stay. Clean sheets are replaced at every cleaning, please let us know while you are here if you encounter any items, thanks again!
This is a small group of houses in the middle of a larger group of buildings so the pool wasn’t so busy located on the beach so it was easy to move back and forth. All located near just about anything you wanted. Very beautiful, very clean, this is the place you would want for your own place.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed the serene pool and convenient beach access—sounds like you found the perfect spot to unwind and explore. We agree, it’s a pretty special place, and we're thrilled it felt like a home away from home for you. If you ever need another retreat, we’d love to welcome you back! 🌟🏝️
We stayed in unit #306 over Labor Day weekend 2024 and really enjoyed it. We loved everything about this place. The only thing we saw that needed attention was the Queen bed, it needs replacing. We will ask for this unit in the future. Thank you for letting us enjoy your condo !!

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great time in unit #306 over Labor Day weekend and enjoyed everything about the place.
We appreciate your feedback about the Queen bed. Comfort levels can be quite subjective, and what works for one person might not be perfect for another. Rest assured, we’ll definitely pass your comments on to the owner and have it on their radar for future upgrades.
We’re delighted that you plan to request this unit again. Thanks again for choosing our condo, and we look forward to hosting you on your next visit!
Great place to stay for a family of 5 clean, close to good food and entertainment walk to the beach
Had a great stay. Was clean a minute or two walk to the beach. Communication with property management was clear. Will definitely be back it was perfect for my family of 5. They only complaint I would have is that you had to keep adjusting the thermostat it was set on a program time and temp would have to cut it down to the desired temperature about 3 times a day would give it 4.5 stars out of 5 everything else was great other than the cleaning crew got there about 30 mins early on the last day and we felt rushed to leave
Great location right on the beach and a small walk from all the shops, ice cream and restaurants! #306 has an amazing view beach front view, pictures don’t do it justice. Our condo was the perfect size for me, my husband and our 14 and 15 year old boys. We loved that it was a “smaller” unit of 18 condos and not a packed high rise hotel. If we come back to Gulf Shores we will definitely be staying at Southern Sands again! I recommend it to everyone!

Thanks so much for the great review! The location, view, and unit upgrades are awesome! Hope to see you back again soon.
If you’re looking for a little place to comfortably sleep & shower with cold AC, on the beach, this is it. It’s so nice to be at a smaller venue with less competition for a dip in the pool/parking, etc. The wide balcony stretches across two rooms (the living room and one bedroom) and is one of the best in this complex. It has places for 6 people to enjoy morning coffee or a last call nightcap. I would definitely rent this place again with a small group. Perfect for a weekend get away for two couples and a guest or two who don’t mind a pull out bed.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled that our place was perfect for your weekend getaway. It’s great to hear that the beachside location, spacious balcony, and comfortable amenities made your stay enjoyable.
We’re especially glad you appreciated the less crowded feel of our smaller venue and the convenience of the pool and parking. Your detailed feedback about the balcony and the setup for small groups is much appreciated.
We’d love to welcome you and your group back anytime for another relaxing stay. Thanks again for the kind words!
I've stayed at this complex before, so knew it was a low-density condo with absolutely amazing oceanfront views. And, with this stay, we were not disappointed. The condo was VERY clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. The location is ideal, we could walk to almost everything. The only drawback was the check-in process for this unit. We had to stop at a building on the way in to town to pick up a check-in packet, which was an inconvenience. Since parking passes can be left in the unit, there is a keypad entry, and we used the VRBO app to reserve the condo, I'm not sure why it was necessary to pick up a parking pass and a piece of paper with our code on it. But, it was a small inconvenience to stay at a great condo!

Hi Jennifer, thanks for your review. We are happy to know you enjoyed the cleanliness, location, & it had everything you needed!
The office is located 1.7 miles from Southern Sands and we provide the check-in instructions in advance so all guests know what to expect. The parking permits cannot be left in the unit and the housekeepers are not responsible for that. It is a short and simple stop before heading to the vacation home! This unit is equipped with keyless entry so there are no keys to return upon departure. Simply follow the provided self-checkout instructions and head on home, no stopping by the office (no keys to return, making it a breeze). We have no way to provide parking permits or info without the guests stopping by to pick up their packet. It is easy. We hope to see you back again soon!
We had a great time at the beach and this condo was everything we had expected it to be. Great location, clean, comfortable. The only issue we had was the refrigerator NEVER got cold! A lot of our food went bad the first day. Maintenance was sent over to look at it but he said we just needed to give it time. So we bought a bunch of coolers and kept everything on ice to give it time to cool down. It. Never. Cooled Down. Even on our last day. However we would still recommend this place to others, you can’t beat the location and popular attractions:)
