Tropic Isles is the fourth condominium complex to the west of The Hangout and all of the events centered at Gulf Place, the main public beach space in Gulf Shores.

The condo is very clean and the location is top notch. Our family of 4 had plenty of space. When we contacted the host they responded quickly.

We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon!
I have stayed at many locations on the gulf and I can say this was by far the best location ever. We walked pretty much everywhere, we were that close to all the main attractions in gulf shores. It’s a smaller condominium building so it was not crowded at all. This is located on the first floor, so the elevator was not needed. The pool was warm so that was nice since the ocean water was still cold. There is a master bed/bath and then a full size bed with a set of bunks in the second room. It was pretty much perfect.
We enjoyed our stay very much ! It was convenient to everything ! Loved the location of the condo ! Restaurants all around that u can walk to ! Definitely would stay there again ! Thanks so much !

This condo is in the perfect location if you are wanting to walk to many destinations. It is also perfect being on the 1st floor, so we didn’t need to take the elevator. It is decorated really nicely! We were shocked at how quiet it was on Memorial weekend. It was just a great stay!
Condo was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed except for a full roll of toilet paper. It all worked out and would recommend staying here. Thanks for a great weekend
I brought my 80 yr old mom to the beach. She wasn’t interested in going in the hot sun so I enjoyed the pool while she hung out on the balcony overlooking the pool. The location is perfect for her to be “part of” the fun without being IN the sun. Parking was easy and convenient to room
I’m not sure how many condos are at this property. About 40. We prefer this because the beach area isn’t as crowded. It is an older property but this unit has nice updates and was as presented on the listing.
Took 30 minutes to find out if we were in the right spot or not. My phone died on the way in. Check in was ok they were changing a shower curtain when I was checking in. Did not mind.we brought floats we knew we were coming on vacation my floats were stolen out of the pool holding area. Then the car tag the wind blew it off my dash on day so the try to fine me. There is no office.they need a number of someone you can call since it is managed.The property was very nice. Very well kept. Beautiful. The beach was beautiful and the access to it was cute. The view was great

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the property, beach access, and beautiful views. We're truly sorry to hear about the confusion at check-in, the issue with your floats, and the parking tag situation. We understand how frustrating that can be and appreciate your suggestions. We’ll use your comments to help improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us!
We enjoyed our stay. Condo could use a more thorough cleaning as well as updated furniture. The couch and inside chairs were very uncomfortable. As well as the inside chair cushions too hard. The inside wicker furniture is pretty, but not comfortable.
Closeness to beach and pool and gulf front condo is phenominal. Also used the outside grill almost every night and that was nice. Especially since the condo provided the charcoal and lighter fluid.
Overall it was a great getaway.

Mother/Daughter/sister trip
When we arrived we noticed lots of things i clean. Razor in shower, chips and sand on floor, dirty sock in floor, freezer dirty, lots of dust on things. We called and they sent someone back to clean it. We didn’t feel comfortable so we bought supplies and cleaned ourself. Beach chairs are available to rent, however we brought our own and someone stole them. The toliet over flowed the first night and bathtub would not drain. Someone showed up to fix that on the 3rd day of our 4 day trip. I probably would not stay here again. There are so many other options and cleanliness is a huge factor.

Hi, Ashley. We sincerely apologize fie all the inconveniences you experienced on this trip. We will contact our maintenance to have the problem looked at immediately. We hope you choose to give ALBVR another chance and allow us the pleasure of hosting you in the future. Again, we are so sorry for the inconvenience.
The condo is cute and is stocked for short stay visits. Bring your spices etc but plenty of pot/pans and dishes.
The towels could use some softener but we remedied that our selves. The beach has easy access, and a spray off station upon return. The pool is great.
We really enjoyed our stay, lots of places to walk to or quick ride. We did the state park bike ride, loved it! The beach is beautiful, white and fluffy sand 😍. We saw crabs, dolphins, lots of 🐚, and some jelly fish.
We will come back for sure!!
Easy access. Clean. We very much enjoy Tropic Isles.

Needs a deep clean.
We went as a family of four. Loved the location of the beach. The downside was the property needs a very deep cleaning. It would have been nice to have boogie boards for kids and chairs that were more sturdy for the beach.
