This was the perfect getaway for my daughter and I. The condo was very clean, not especially big, but plenty big enough for 2 or small families, as there were also bunks in the hallway. The condo is situated in a quiet complex, a good distance from Gulf Shores, not so close as to be in the middle of everything, but not so far that we couldn’t go for the day. The beach is a very easy walk to get to the water and not crowded. The balcony gives a fantastic view of the water. Though we didn’t use any of the pools, we saw all ages from baby to elderly using them. It was nice to be in a place that welcomed families. We’d defintely stay here again!

We had an excellent stay here. We love stay at the Plantations, the beach and the pool are so close and it’s nice not having to get in the car and drive anywhere. There is a coffee place called Selah close by and the Sassy Bass is good too.

So the place was cute, but not as the listing says. It will definitely not suit 6. The couch was not the same as in the pictures, an older person would have a very hard time getting up from it. NO way two ppl could sleep on it.Also the bunks are not twin sized, there smaller an not to comfortable, no weight limit information either... The livingroom tv was not working, appeared as the cable goes into the wall is broken. Should say bring your beach chairs too unless you want to rent the ones in the pics. The pools are not open to all buildings either. The beach is quite a walk too from the unit we were in. But overall the unit was cute an clean. We made do.

My husband and I stay at the Plantation resort every year in October. This year's condo provided a beautiful view of the ocean from the fourth floor. The condo provided all the basic kitchen necessities to cook our daily meals. It had plenty of blankets and linens as well as towels and washcloths. If I had to put a negative it would be the water pressure and the slow draining tub but it wasn't bad enough to not recommend the condo. We had an enjoyable stay as always.

Would stay again

Photos made the condo seem a little larger than it actually turned out to be for a family of 4 (boys 10 & 13) but we had sufficient room and there was so much to do at the resort and nearby we didn't do much more than sleep in the room.

Summer getaway

We’ve stayed on this property in several different units over the years and have enjoyed every experience. This unit is likely the cleanest and most updated of any we’ve had the pleasure to stay in. We were very impressed with the utilization of space, considering the limited size! VERY functional and adaptable. The direct view of the beach makes up for the distance from the pools and boardwalk. Would definitely stay here again.

Condo was neat and clean and in a very good location. Quiet and peaceful stay. The only negatve is the sofa. It either needs a good cleaning or to just be replaced.
