Absolutely Loved it
We really enjoyed our stay. Many things were so close, the beach was beautiful and the facility was perfect. If there was one negative (very minor) was that the remotes for the Dish was ancient and hard to use. But, we really didn't have the tv on very much, anyway. The water coming out of the refrigerator had no pressure and would take forever to fill a glass of water(again, minor. Just saying to maybe get fixed). Thank you for the awesome stay!!!

It was a nice get away but the room needs improvements
We loved staying gulf front but the condo really needs some improvements. The old bedspreads and comforters were deplorable and need to be replaced. Rugs and curtains need to be updated. It was a clean unit but very outdated.

Our stay was great!
The condo for the price definitely needs some work. Couches need to be replaced, sofa bed was broken and mattress was almost non existent. Dryer latch was broken so had to prop cooler on it to run. Door leading to balcony need so lubricant as they were extremely hard to open and close. All in all just need a little tender loving care and then would be worth the price.

Experienced Furniture
We were happy with the condo overall. This place was the cleanest condo we have rented in Gulf Shores in the fourteen winters down here, we have been in four different condo buildings. So a big thanks to the cleaning crew. The beds are on the soft side, the couch and love seat are very uncomfortable and a chore to get out of. The kitchen wasn't that well appointed. We had to replace five bulbs upon our arrival as they were burnt out. The electric can opener didn't work. We called to try and get a new one and were unsuccessful without jumping through hoops so we bought a hand one which we will take with us when we checkout.
