About this property

Just reopened! Seaglass Sanctuary. 3BR/3BA Luxe Sunset Corner❤️! Free Beach Svc!

Welcome to our 3BR/3BA Luxuriously renovated Sanctuary by the Sea! Stare out at God's majesty from our sanctuary in the sky and instantly relax and know you are blessed to be here!

Our building has been closed for about 9 months and has been meticulously restored and it crisp and white and bright.

Views of sunsets nightly from our floor to ceiling wall of windows all along the western corner will assure that you never miss the show-- high in the sky and positioned with great furniture to maximize sunset viewing. This is truly our second home. We have it fully stocked with spices, all kinds of cookware, games, puzzles, beach towels, coolers, and everything you could possibly need and then some. These little things save you money and enhance your vacation. We also have luxe Beach Service daily in from now till October 2024. This is 2 beach chairs + umbrella set up for you daily. This is usually $50 per pair per day.

We have owned this condo since the building was built and could never part with it. Our kids grew up here. We work to keep it fresh and bright and use it as our second home. This condo sleeps 8 with incredible comfort and everyone still has his/her own space -- Even the bunks have lower mattresses that are incredibly comfortable!

Walls of Windows, picture perfect views --high on the 24th floor -- allow you to see all of Gulf Shores Island and several bodies of water. Spectacular sunsets, unobstructed views. Only 4 units on the western side of the building have these amazing unobstructed views! It is why people book year after year in this unit. I like to set up our dining room table to maximize these views for dinner or puzzle assembly! We also have a sleek newer granite counter/island meant to seat a lot of guests. Let me know if you love it as much as I do.

If you want the best, you have found it. Island Tower 2403. The views from our perch on the 24th floor will simply take your breath away and refresh your soul.

Press the elevator button and your toes are in blissful, white, soft, fluffy, fine, quartz sand. Then, when it's time to head up for the night from the surf and sand, you can watch the sun set from one of two balconies with unmatched and unobstructed views of 4 bodies of water. It is just magnificent. Only 4 western corner units boast these unobstructed and sweeping views in our building.

Gulf front pools (both indoor and out), a gulf front fitness center and a private playground for kids in the building, round out the amenities. Our building is low-density as well. Only 3 units per floor.

80% of our renters return -- which says it all. Top-of-the-line furnishings and mattresses also make your stay comfortable. We have our unit packed with things that will save you money while you are here -- from beach chairs, to towels, to spices and cleaners under the sink. We live close-by and use it, so it truly is our second home. Hooks where you need them. Premium linens and towels. Many board games and kids things, too.

This unit was professionally photographed for inclusion in a national travel magazine and boasts views that only the west-end penthouse and 3 other units in this building have. The other western corners all look into the building next door.




3 bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have king sized beds, one bedroom has two sets of bunks (twins) and sleeps 4. The Master Bedroom is directly on the gulf side with a tiled balcony and sliders to the balcony and Gulf. All bedrooms have flatscreen TV's. Palatial master bath with rameless glass shower (new 2023) and soaking tub along with top of the line fixtures, California Closet, soaking tub and separate shower area. Huge Walk in Closets. Separate laundry room with full sized washer and dryer. Our condo has a kitchen fully equipped. Balcony furniture is great and comfortable and has THE BEST outdoor balcony furniture.

Filtered Water (Osmosis) * Free WIFI *

Island Tower 2403 is meticulously maintained. It truly is our home away from home.
And the couch provides the best napping place on the planet. One view, one stay, and you'll be regular guests at our condo. We are constantly upgrading the luxury, every stay. Board Games, puzzles, beach towels, and all things you could think of -- spices, etc., are provided in our condo.

We have an incredible table which unfolds to seat dining for 8 OR for board game and puzzle magic!


Come watch the dolphins swim by!

Spacious condo with beautiful views and great location

Stayed here with 6 adults for office trip and we all had plenty of space. The views were fantastic and we could walk to a variety of restaurants and shops. The building is a high-rise but low-density so no problems waiting on elevators. I would stay here again!

Lovely, relaxing beach experience

Booking was easy - communication with the owner was great. The condo was perfect - very accommodating and had all the things to make for a relaxing stay. The beach and pool provided lots of fun. Never a long wait for the elevator. Lots of nearby spots for food and shopping within walking distance. Made for the best memories with family and friends!

Gulf Shores Beauty

I can’t even begin to list all the wonderful aspects of this condo!!! I stayed for a month with different adult children and their families. The first thing they each said when their stay was over is “When can we come back!” The pictures do not do it justice. It is absolutely everything you see in the pics and more. The view is spectacular, and the location is so convenient to walk to a number of restaurants, a small marketplace and souvenir shops. The beach is beautiful. You can walk along the shoreline for a long distance (probably miles - just never actually checked). Having the reserved chairs and umbrella were an added bonus. You never have to fight for space on the beach. Very family oriented atmosphere, even during peak Spring Break season. And then there is Dana (owner). She was always just a text away, and very quick to respond and help out with anything we needed. We were truly blessed! Thank you, Dana!

Excellent vacation spot!!

My family and I just returned from our wonderful vacation here. We had a great time on the beautiful white sand beaches and the beach side pools. After fun in the sun we returned to the awesome condo with breathtaking views. The condo was very clean and very comfortable. Dana, the rental agent, was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great beach getaway.

2024 Summer

Looking for a great rental, you found it! The condo was very spacious, beds were comfortable, oversized couch in the living room gave everyone a place to sit, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We had 7 people in our party and we had more than enough room. And of course, the views from very room surpass anything I have rented! I would 100% stay here again and I wouldn't look anywhere else.

3 generations of my family enjoyed the stay very much. Kitchen is packed with spices & dishes & pans. The indoor pool was closed which ended up being a non issue. Very comfortable beds & couch. The beach chairs being ready daily was HUGE! We had 8 people. At times we needed more seating on the decks and/or in the dining area. Doing dishes & putting trash outside the door was the most appreciated part of my stay! no cleaning!

Great view

The location, floor plan, building were all great. The view was fabulous. The gym was not available for use - which was a major reason we booked this place. And the carpets are stained extremely bad in bedrooms — beds were not too comfy. Carpets need replacement badly.

Taste of Heaven!

We absolutely loved our vacation at the "top of the world", the 24th floor of Island Tower. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the pelicans fly by at eye level and the dolphins swimming by. We appreciated the convenience of being able to walk out onto the beach. The condo itself is a welcoming space with a well equipped kitchen, balcony access on two sides, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, and we were thankful to be able to do laundry in the condo. We played games and read books from the amply stocked entertainment cabinet and made a lot of wonderful memories. We can't say enough about our hosts Dana and Eddie who were so kind and accommodating. We have found a new home in the South!

Luxuriously decorated condo with breathtaking views!

This condo is beautiful! Kitchen was very well stocked with high quality appliances, every spice you could need, and a HUGE countertop perfect for cooking and dining. Bedrooms were roomy and beds were very comfortable. The place was clean and had lots of extras like buckets, flashlights, floats, etc. Beach chair service that was provided every day made going down to the beach easy and stress-free! The very best thing about this condo by far was the views! You could see unobstructed views of the ocean and beach from one balcony and the bay from the other balcony! Incredible! The location was great because it was close to restaurants, live-music venues and shopping but not so close that it kept you awake at night. I would highly recommend this property and we will definitely be back!

Absolutely perfect!

We were 2 families of 4 each so this place worked out perfectly for us! It was nice that each of the couples had their own master with attached bathroom and the kids also had their own bathroom. Location couldn't have been any better as we were able to easily walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The view was the best part though. It was amazing being up so high and seeing everything. We really appreciated how clean everything was and that the kitchen was FULLY stocked (even with a slow cooker which made dinners even easier). The only downside was that the wi-fi was not very reliable which made it a little hard for some of the group to get some work done while there. Maybe change it to a secure network? We will definitely be back and have already recommended this condo to other people.

Absolutely Perfect!

We had the pleasure of staying here for a week at the beginning of August - squeezing in the week between Summer and Fall semesters for my college aged children. Things couldn't have been more perfect for our stay. The views you see in the pictures are better in person than they appear online! I was very worried about being able to hear the ocean waves being up so high, but that worry is laughable here! It was so peaceful and relaxing. Having 2 balconies and access from every bedroom was spectacular! When we weren't on the beach, we were enjoying watching the dolphins jumping in the morning and the sunsets in the evening from the expansive balcony overlooking the ocean. My family fought over the bar height adirondack chairs on the balcony as they were the best for viewing. Every room in the condo was very well appointed. I felt like I was at home in the master bedroom, complete with jetted soaker tub, giant shower and a huge walk in closet. Unfortunately, I had to work a lot during my stay, but the desk overlooking the beach and inlet offered a much better view than my office at home! The location was perfect and within walking distance to many of restaurants and shopping places along the beach. We drove on some evenings, but only because my mother was with us and couldn't walk as far. Otherwise, everything we needed was close by. Dana, the owner, was a great to work with and very responsive. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you for the fabulous week!

Amazing View, Great Property

The gulf and sunset views from the condo are spectacular. Condo has everything you need for a great stay. Had a couple of issues with unpleasant smells from the kitchen when we arrived, as well as a fire alarm that went off two nights in a row around 1 a.m. for the entire condo complex due to faulty wiring. I believe they were addressing that issue, however. Overall, fantastic place and would book again! Warning: If you plan on getting in the gulf during your stay, please pay attention to the flags! Strong / rip currents are a real danger.

Wonderful

We had a great time here! Great location and the condo was clean. We also never had any issues with the elevators like in other reviews, I'm not sure what that's about. The beach was perfect. Only issue we had was the lock on the front door somehow reset, I don't know if that was our error or mechanical but thankfully, we got by. The last night, we did have some random guy trying to get into our condo, while we were all in bed. Luckily, we had the bar lock latched on the door and told him to go away, he had the wrong place. Other than that, it was exactly what we needed.

About the host

Hosted by dana hammele

Host profile image
This is my favorite property that we own. I'd sell the house before our condo in Island Tower. I am blown away by the happiness that I feel each time I set foot in our second home away from home. My husband and I are the first and only owners of this condo. Each morning I awaken to the awesome views of our Island, and our beautiful Gulf, I am happy to be alive.

Why they chose this property

I wanted this view. Everyone knows a realtor says: Location, Location, Location! This condo has it. Easy to get to and from everything -- walk to the hangout, walk to dinner. Sit on the couch and watch the dolphins swim by.

What makes this property unique

We stock our place as a second home because it is. We use it and we have our things there (that you can use) -- from the beach towels, and chairs, to spices, board games, great serving pieces, you name it -- we have it in our place.
