Annual Bama beach trip

We come to Gulf Shores every summer for our vacation. This was our first time staying at the golf tower and it was fantastic! The ease and speed of getting an elevator, the availability of parking, the fantastic pool and this particular unit were just awesome. 10 out of 10!

Comfortable and convenient

Our family enjoyed our first stay in Gulf Shores and the Seabatical property was both comfortable and convenient. It had all the amenities we needed and access to the pool and the beach was perfect. Watching the dolphins swim by from the balcony every morning was incredible. Jill was extremely responsive and helpful. We’ll be back for sure!

What a lovely space to enjoy time at the beach! The condo was absolutely amazing! Met all of our needs and LOVED being able to sit on the balcony and enjoy the sound of the ocean and smell the sea air. The pool was a perfect way to relax and unwind, too. We look forward to returning soon!

Nice condo on beach with convenient location

First time using Vrbo to make vacation reservation. All questions answered thoroughly and in timely manner. Clean, comfortable, great view. If you have electronics, bring chargers for wall outlets. If returning to Gulf Shores, will definitely check on availability.

Could be deceived

While the place was clean and close to beach, it was mentioned to owners to let renters know about pool being closed for repairs one month prior to stay, the caretaker Jill did not communicate this with me until day of arrival. So no pool for 4 days of visit and waves to choppy to enjoy swimming in gulf. When told of this the only reply was a 50 credit? Even the other tenants who knows Jill said it was not adequate. She never responded. But it is a nice place. Well kept exterior. Friendly tenants.

Cleaning not great but excellent location

I rated four stars due to cleaning issues. But. We did have a great time. The location was perfect!!! The only issue I had was the bathroom showers were not cleaned properly. There was excessive amounts of someone else’s hair in the hall bathroom shower. So it leaves the question of what else was not properly cleaned. Overall the condo was nice. The furniture is outdated and the couch very worn. The couch was full of sand beneath the cushions. I did love how well stocked the kitchen was. Everything anyone needs to cook a meal in the condo. We had a lovely time. The beach was beautiful and never over crowded. Very easy access to the beach. We would definitely stay again.

Perfect location!

I really had to think about this review before I left it. We truly enjoyed our stay, and would stay here again. You couldn’t ask for a better location. From being directly on the beach, to being a mile to the lagoon one way, and a mile to 59 the other, it was wonderful! Aside from the unit needing some updates(bathrooms) and little notes around the unit saying “please don’t use/broken”, the unit was nice. We really enjoyed the balcony, and the dual sliding doors.What kind of left a bad taste in our mouths didn’t have anything to do with the actual unit, but more the complex itself. It seems as though there are so many rules to abide by, but when it comes down to it, nothing is enforced. While the complex was one of the quieter ones we’ve stayed at, the pool area became a joke. A family of 15 took over the entire pool by playing football for the week, being less than mindful of other guests. Another family(older adults), blared music and failed to watch their child, who ended up dumping my full drink onto my phone. Later on when I spoke with security, letting him know of a paper lantern that had landed between buildings and caught fire, he laughed. I informed him someone from that building put it out, and his response was “happens all the time”. Security at this complex is useless. At one point he asked a family to turn their music up even louder(9-930pm) because it was a good song. There is a big lack of respect in the pool area not only by guests, but by security as well.
