The property was very clean and the accommodations were spacious. We loved the view of the golf course odd the balcony. We also loved the location for the ease of getting into the town to utilize the workout facility, the State Park for hiking/biking, in addition to the Bon Secour facility for hiking. Everything was very easy access, we would definitely book again.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the spacious accommodations and the golf course view from the balcony. It’s wonderful to hear the location made it easy to explore the town, State Park, and Bon Secour for hiking, biking, and workouts. We’d be delighted to host you again anytime!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the clean and comfortable space. We look forward to welcoming you back for your next stay!
Exellent stay for an excellent price. Not too close from the hustle and bustle of all the party crowds but just close enough to access all the enjoyment that the area offers. Highly recommend this place

My family really enjoyed our stay; we were in town for a volleyball tournament. The kids loved having their own beds and bathroom. We loved how easy it was to get to locations in both Foley and Gulf Shores. Our stay was very quiet; I don't know if I've ever slept so well on a trip. My family would love to stay at this condo again.

Hello Kacey,
We are so happy to hear you had a 5 star experience at this location. We would love to host your family again!
Overall, they were quick to fix air conditioner that stopped working. The master bedroom sheets need to be purchased and the toilet seat. I would stay there again on my next trip.
The property was very quiet and close to everything. A lot of stores and places to eat were close by. The property is surrounded by landscaping so it creates homes for bugs and creatures. It was spacious. The property was in desperate need of a CLEAN!
The unit needed A DEEP CLEAN! It was outdated in some areas. The check in process was smooth.
It was a nice condo. The toilet seat in the second bathroom was not attached. There were not many dishes or pots and pans to use. When we first arrived, some of the utensils were dirty. The code to the pool did not work. Overall it was a nice , quiet place for our stay.

This was our first visit to Gulf Shores and it couldn't have been better. Our Condo was conveniently located near shopping and restaurants as well as a short drive away from the beach. The condo surpassed our expectations with plenty of room (two bedrooms and two FULL baths with separate dressing areas). We had a beautiful view of a lake and all the comforts of home. Check in and out was easy. This is a great value and we would stay again!

Thank you for the detailed review. We are so happy to hear that you all had such a great stay! Thank you for choosing Poole & Associates.
This condo was extremely clean and convenient for me and my family. We didn't have to travel far for shopping, fun activities or the beach. We sat outside in the evenings to enjoy the serene water overlooking the condo. Everything about booking was extremely easy and the rental manager was very quick in responding to questions. In addition, the Happy Stays App was helpful in deciding what activities we would enjoy while there. Thanks for a terrific vacation!

Thank you for your 5 star review. We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us!
This was the perfect property for us. We came with my elderly parents. Our room was directly across from the elevator. Parking was close and always available. The unit was clean and roomy. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the ducks in the pond. The he location was perfect! Close to Publix, Target, LuLus, and so much more, yet still quite.

We’re also glad you appreciated the peaceful balcony view of the pond—it’s one of our favorite features too!
We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing stay.
My husband and I stayed for the last week in Feb. Weather was warm and perfect. Condo was beautiful and clean. The king bed was so comfortable. Our favorite was sitting out on the quiet patio, overlooking the pond on the golf course. Loved that the door was across from the elevator ( never heard noise ), and that they have luggage carts. We would definitely stay here again!

Hello Norman,
We are so glad you had a 5 star experience. We would love to have you stay with us again.
Condo was just as pictured, clean and a nice location. I will say that the noise from the road was quite loud when sitting on the screened in porch. But the view was nice of the pond and golf course. Very close to the grocery store, Target and food places. Would definitely stay again. Property management was quick to respond to questions and very friendly.

Hello,
We are so glad you found the unit as pictured. We would love to have you stay with us again.
The location was perfect for my daughter's softball tournament. The area was nice and the condo was gorgeous it was just very hot. The very first night the power went out about 10pm and didn't come back on until about 5am. The 2nd night the air was broken so my family got another place that had air. After that we just decided to stay where we were and left this condo. Overall it was a great place just hot and after spending a day in the sun at the ballpark we needed all the AC we could find and this condo at the time didn't have it.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad the location and condo were convenient and beautiful for your daughter’s tournament. We sincerely apologize for the issues with the power outage and air conditioning and understand how uncomfortable that must have been after long days at the ballpark. Your feedback is important, and we have addressed these concerns and hope to prevent similar situations in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the chance to provide a more comfortable stay next time.
The place was not clean from the moment we got there. Walls dirty, dishes dirty, toilets kind of gross. Place looked like pictures and was a great location though. One roll of toilet paper per bathroom kind of sucked.
Air conditioning worked amazing and property managers were awesome and easy to work with!
Overall I would stay again, just wish it was more clean!

Hello Kathryn,
We are so sorry the unit was not clean on your arrival. We so glad your enjoyed the location and found our management company easy to work with. We would love to have you stay with us again.
My friends and I enjoyed this condo so much! The condo was the perfect size, and with great amenities. The condo had been thoroughly cleaned when we arrived, and you could smell it. Location is perfect! Plenty of stores and places to eat within walking distance. Straight drive to the beach, which was perfect. The pool on the property was a great plus. Check-in was not the best process. Had to drive to the office during rush hour to only give them a copy of my license, which I could have done by email. I hope they consider changing that policy. Would definitely stay at this location again!

The location was fantastic, but they ask you too treat it like its your own home. I would not have mold and dust in my house. Lastly, we had a property person trying to come into our unit. With out knocking, calling or anything of the sort. VERY INTUITIVE!. We normally have a great experience with Poole and Associates. Just not great this time around. Location was (Cypres Point)
Just be prepare to have your privacy likely invaded if you stay here!!

The property was amazing. It was clean, easy to find, easy to park, and close to everything.
I would highly recommend this property! The location is perfect and just a short drive to the beach. The balcony view was beautiful and we enjoyed watching the ducks swim and play. The property campus was surprisingly quiet and is in walking distance to shopping and great food.
