This is the 2nd time my family visited this location w/ this company (but different rooms) and we really enjoy it. Having many pools to choose from and the beach right there is great. We love it and will be back again!
Super cute and clean little place for a quick last min get away!

Nice condo on a good property
We enjoyed our stay at Plantation. The property and amenities were nice with just a short walk to the beach. The only real drawback is there aren’t many dining options available without driving 12 miles into Gulf Shores. We didn’t experience any issues with the condo. Everything was pretty clean upon arrival.

On you next trip be sure to try Sassy Bass Island Grill onsite at the resort, Kiva Dunes next door the great places to eat at the Beach Club about 1/2 mile away, Sassy Bass Amazin Grill and Tacky Jack's about 2 miles from the resort, We appreciate you staying with us and we welcome you back any time.
We enjoyed our stay! This is an Efficiency unit and had everything we needed! It was very clean and the property manager was great to work with. The resort is beach front and this unit overlooks one of the many outdoor pools on property. We walked down the sidewalk right to the boardwalk to the beautiful private beach! A nice surprise was the restaurant Sassy Bass right on property. We will definitely stay here again when we can stay longer! Thank you!

This is our 3rd time using Island Dream and we LOVE working with them. They make the experience easy and enjoyable. The unit we stayed in this time was very clean and convenient. The bed is our only complaint. It desperately needs to be replaced. We will absolutely be choosing to book with Island Dream again!!!

Thank you for continuing to stay with us! We appreciate you very much. It is impossible to please everyone with beds as everyone prefers something dfferent. We look forward to having you back with us again soon!
Nice location and access to the beach, room smaller than imagined.
Was a good location and access to the beach. The pictures were accurate on location of furniture but did not realize that it was as small of a space as it is. That was a failure on our part to look closely at the details. The room was quiet at night. It worked fine for just two of us. A family of four might be crowded. The bed is in a nook bewteen windows so not much airflow if you are used to a fan as the ceiling fan is over the living area space. No space to place books or lights or phones next to the bed. The matress was sunk more in the middle so it wasn't the most comfortable. Fine for a two-day stay but not sure it would have been the most comfortable for a longer stay or with more people due to the small space.

Thank you for staying with us! This is an efficiency unit for a vacation on a budget. Therefore, there is room in the same room where the bed is located to place your electronics, books, etc. The box springs and matress were just replaced two months ago and are in good condition but it is difficult to please everyone with beds. We hope you enjoyed the 4 outdoor pools, hot tubs, exercise room, tennis courts and beautiful private beach. This unit allows for a vacation with lots of fun and enjoyable amenities for less than larger units at a comperable resorts.
