Great location and views

We really loved our stay here- it is right on the beach and we could park really close to the stairs. It does have an elevator also. There were several great restaurants within walking distance, and we hardly ever needed to drive anywhere. Hope to be back soon

It was so peaceful drinking our morning coffee on the balcony watching the sunrise over the waves. It is a very short walk to the beach. Being on the second floor there was no need for the elevator, other than unpacking upon arrival. Easy check in and check out. The owner was very attentive and super nice! My family and I have been staying here since I was a little girl. We create memories now with my own family. We love Southern Sands so much we already booked again for next year! Thank you for sharing this gem with us!

Great Beach Getaway!

We loved our stay at Gulf Shores. Sheryl, the property manager, was wonderful to work with! The unit was super clean and comfortably furnished. This unit is directly beach front. The balcony has a sofa, chair and table w/chairs - plenty of room to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. We walked to the shops, restaurants and the Hang Out - a hit with my college age sons! Thank you for a wonderful Spring Break. We will be back!

Beach decor, beautiful ocean/beach view with the balcony overlooking the sand below. The beds are super comfortable and the air conditioning works great, which was really needed during the extreme heat. We couldn’t ask for a nicer place to stay at a reasonable price, right on the beach. Thanks for a great time.

Great location

This location was just about perfect for our family of four. Plenty of room on the beach, and super close to shopping and restaurants. There was a slight issue with the garbage disposal, but we had great communication with Sheryl and we found we could work around it without much hassle. All the information for check-in was spot on, but we unfortunately received it after we already had left our house and had to swing in a buy a few supplies for our stay once we got to the condo. Overall, very happy and would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this Southern Sands condo. The view of the Gulf is beautiful with a nice large balcony. The beds were comfortable and the beach decor was nice. The only issue way that the upstairs tenent smoked on his balcony, which at times, we would have to go inside, due to the smell. They're not supposed to smoke there, there's a dedicated smoking area on the first floor. Other than that, everything was great! We will be back!

Southern Sands is a quiet place. This is our 2nd stay there. The Condo is very clean well stocked with everyone you need minus food drink and toiletries. It's a short walk to the Gulf right from the rear on the building. The pool is clean and very nice. There are several restaurants and stores nearby. It's right on the main street along the beach. The host Sheryl is very responsive to communication.

This condo was clean and well kept. I preferred a property this size as opposed to the monstrously huge buildings on the beach. The price was competitive and the host was very prompt in answering messages. My kids enjoyed the close beach access as well as the pool that was just outside our condo. I fully plan to stay here again in the future.

Great Place! Choose THIS ONE!

We had an excellent time at our stay in the condo oat Gulf Shores! If you are looking to stay at a great place that is near a lot of businesses in restaurants, but also has a smaller feel compared to many of the other larger/busier buildings in the area, this is a great place! Compared to other places nearby, this one will has far less guests and gives you a more cozy feel. What does that mean? Well, the pool won’t be overrun with too many people ever (unlike the neighing property which was LOADED will people all day). You can always walk through the balconies uninterrupted and get into elevators without cramming in with others. We noticed that the neighboring properties were just overrun with people and both my wife and I common multiple times how happy we were. We chose a smaller place in Gulf Shores that was still within walking distance to many restaurants and stores. The property was extremely clean! It looks very nice and smelled clean! Showers were always hot, the balcony is very large and spacious with a great view. The air conditioning works fabulously! They had plenty of extra pillows and blankets in the closets. Our kids absolutely loved the room they were in. We had a very minor concern and it was fixed immediately (all it was was a blown fuse in the fuse box…something the owner couldn’t have predicted would happen). Communication was fast and professional! We would definitely stay here again in the future as long as the price continues to be great!
