We only stayed one night due to us driving to another destination. But this place was great and plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely recommend
We had the best time staying at this property! The condo was very nice, extremely clean and had everything we were looking for! The views of the ocean and the lagoon did not disappoint! We were just steps away from the water! The hosts were very accommodating and were good to keep in touch to make sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this property!

This property was beautiful! The pictures were the exact view of the condo. It was very simple from booking, check in, vacation, and check out. The patio was huge and a perfect view of the ocean. The beach access was close and easily

Amazing! Will be back!!!
This place was amazing and completely exceeded our expectations!
The accommodations were perfect for our family of 5! Even roomier than we needed!
The balcony was a favorite and the location of this condo cannot be beat!
Literally minutes from toes in the ocean, and the lagoon right behind was a special treat.
Neat, clean, everything worked and ran great!
Hosts are also excellent with communication!
Spacious condo with beautiful view. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. Loved that it had 3 bathrooms. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony. Neighborhood was quiet and safe. We walked every day. Public beach access across the street.

About the host
Hosted by Gretchen Roberts
Our family of six lives in the mountains, but we’ve been dreaming of the “Ocean Skyline” in Gulf Shores ever since our first visit in 2016. Our goal is for every guest to experience total relaxation and to gain a fresh perspective outside of your day-to-day life. There’s something magical about the water that will do that to you! So step away from the grind, kick back, and let your worries wash out to sea. Vacation awaits!
Why they chose this property
Million-dollar views of the Gulf of Mexico, the Little Lagoon, and all of West Beach make this property unique! We fell in love the first time we walked in the door and think you will, too.
