Relaxing family vacation

We really enjoyed our stay here. You cant beat the view! We usually rent from Dana but enjoyed renting from the Smiths this time. The only thing the condo needs is new pans. We loved everything else! We will definitely stay here again.

Excellent Condo close to beach access

This condo was clean, had everything we needed, and was located within walking distance to the beach access. The only issue we encountered was being awoken one morning by someone hammering into the floor in the condo above us. I think they may have been replacing carpet. Other than that the rest of our stay was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth and Mechelle Smith

Why they chose this property

Gulf Shores is is the quintessential beach town - still quaint - yet has everything you need from a beach town for a great vacation! We grew tired of the traffic and hustle and bustle in Destin and other beach areas. Most importantly, we chose Gulf Shores for the sugar white sands, crystal clear water, and plenty to do (or NOT do). The location of this condo just can't be beat: close to everything, but just out of the fray of any traffic. We own several condos in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach because we just love this slice of paradise!

What makes this property unique

Fishing in the Pass or in Little Lagoon behind the condo, walking to Bahama Bob's for happy hour or dinner, being able to take a jog down West Beach without fear of being run over! I also love the super fast wi-fi for my laptop on a rainy day. The views of BOTH the Gulf AND Little Lagoon are simply gorgeous!
