Another fantastic stay (we stayed here last year as well). Perfect location and being able to walk right onto the beach from the condo is such a huge plus. When we weren’t on the beach, or walking to shop or get food, we sat on the balcony and just listened to the waves and relaxed. Any time we’re in Gulf Shores for vacation, this is where we plan on staying.

Everything was good. The furniture was worn and this is obviously a well-loved place, but it was clean and had all the necessities. We appreciated the private path to the beach. I would like to have known that we were directly above the pool because there were noise issues but it seemed that the other guests followed the quiet hours because it was fine after 11 each night. The carts to help bring things from the cars was very helpful. The location is very walkable from the street or the beach. We had a great time.
