This clean, pet friendly condo was just lovely for our family vacation. My kids and I enjoyed our stay and though we opted not to bring our dog it was nice to have the option and we did see plenty of other pets at the property. The host was great with communication and prompt response as needed. Would recommend.

We loved the condo and our host was amazing. We couldn't find the email with the door code when we arrived so messaged and received a response within 5 minutes. Everything was clean and ready for our vacation. Felt like home away from home. Definately plan to go back :)

Jessica was a great host. The condo was clean and very comfortable. We have a yorkie so we were looking for a small condo community, one level with no overhead noise and with good outside area for her to explore on a leash. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed to do a little cooking. There’s a park within a block so Tosh had plenty of space for longer walks. This condo is in a great location, central to everything! If in Gulf Shores again we’d book here, for sure!

Had a great time. Only two things I would suggest is the bathtub needs something for anti-slip. We didn’t fall but it was close. Also, on our first night, we noticed the corner of the king bed looks loose. Just wanted to give a heads up.We loved our stay.

Cutest condo

This condo was so cute! I love the teal cabinets and the decor. The house was updated and comfortable. The pool was remodeled and so nice with fountains and a tanning ledge. There was a cute coffee shop next door. The condo was a short drive to the beach and had everything we needed. We absolutely loved our stay and the host is so helpful and friendly.

Wouldn’t stay here again.

The pictures make it look very nice, but are unfortunately quite inaccurate. Quality is not there at all. The walls are paper thin, the beds and sheets are SUPER uncomfortable, it’s a noisy area at night and you can hear it all through the paper thin exterior walls. You’d have to bring almost everything you’d need for a stay longer than one night to cook and do usual daily living. There was even grass and dirt frozen in the ice cube tray. I wish I could recommend, but I can’t and we will not be staying here again.

You never contacted me with any problems during your stay. I don’t have any control over the thickness of the walls but there were only a few people staying on property while you were there so it should not have been noisey. I don’t understand how sheets can be uncomfortable and the king mattress is a brand new 14 inch memory foam. This is not a luxury rental at this price. You paid less than any area hotel and I can assure you this condo is way cleaner

Everything was perfect for us! Very clean place and very nice owner she messaged us to make sure we got in and situated even offered recommendations for the area. We loved that she provided dog bowls for our pup and will book again with in the future.
