Spring break trip

Floors were dirty. Could not walk around barefoot or with socks on. Master bathroom sink was clogged up. Maintenance did come out within a few hours and fixed it. Guest bathroom toilet stayed clogged up the whole week and had to be plunged several times. The initial post said there was a play area which is one of the reasons we chose this condo but we never found one. I asked for pictures of it and the indoor pool before we even got there but was told no other pictures were available except what was on the original post.

Breathtaking!

This is by far the best condo I rented to date down in Gulf Shores! The minute you walk in all the 12th floor and you see that wall of windows, is everything you could ask for. Super clean, very friendly people, Super easy to communicate with. Patio had all the furniture you need for a big family to enjoy. It was decorated so cute and everything was so comfortable. Definitely 100% staying here again!!

We loved this place

This corner condo was made to be enjoyed! There was plenty of room for 5 adults. I woke up the first morning to find my entire family on the balcony laughing and enjoying the fantastic beach view. Plus we got to see the sunset from the second balcony every day. It is close to the beach, restaurants and liquor stores. If I had the money this is the place I would want to own. It was a Perfectly Wonderful Stay. Highly Recommend.
