This property was immaculate and decorated beautifully. Check in was a breeze and any questions/concerns were addressed immediately! Located right on the beach made it absolutely perfect. We will definitely be returning.

Great stay!

Property was clean and updated and had everything you would need for your stay! It really was right on the beach and there were plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance. We would definitely stay at this location again!

Great place on the beach

Very nice and clean property with easy beach access. Property was nicely located away from the main drag noise and the beach was not busy. Upstairs neighbors were a little noisy so maybe some thin walls but nothing too bad. Overall a great place for a family vacation on the beach!

Great Condo

Condo was very nice as it was completely remodeled seemingly recently. Cathy was very nice and would have been easy to contact if we had needed it but thankfully we didn't. Worked wonderful for our Spring Break Baseball Trip.

Perfect Spot for an affordable weekend get away

Amber was very helpful from start to finish! I would recommend this property. Low density area allowed for easy parking and beach space. Grocery store and shops just across the street were a great convenience. No need to drive anywhere.

Great location on the beach

I took 6 high school graduates to celebrate graduation and was very pleased with this property. The kitchen was big enough to cook meals and the sitting area fit us all. The girls had a great time going to the beach and it was close to restaurants. They were able to walk around at night and felt very safe. We all had a great time.

Winter 24

We love the Gulf coast ! Nice area with mild temps. Condo was in a lower density area and quieter with less action. Unit was clean and accurately presented. Amber the owner, was a pleasure to work with as well. Would liked to have stayed longer and would re-visit.

Great place

My family of 7 was down for my daughters softball tournament. There was plenty of room for all of us and everything that was needed for a weekend was provided(toilet tissue, towels, dishes). Overall the place was pretty clean except there was a decent size appeared to be coffee stain on the quilt that was used for the sofa bed which was probably overlooked by the cleaning crew. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely stay there again.

This was our second time at The Sundial in Gulf Shores. Can’t beat the location and access to the beach. Cathy’s unit is beautifully remodeled and decorated. The kids loved their room with the bunk beds. The unit has everything you could need for your stay and was super clean. Communication with Cathy was prompt for any concerns. To no fault of the owners, the upstairs guests were very noisy, it’s like they were having a circus up there! But we were out most of the days so it was manageable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Looking forward to coming back in the future.

NOISY place

This apartement faces a main road and is NOISY. Plus, one of the bedroom faces the outside corridor and you can hear all the lugage and whatever else is haulled out there. one of the two bedrooms was too small to fit 2 bunker beds.

Gulf Shore Condo

We made the best of our stay during Tropical Storm Claudette. This condo was decent but could use a few upgrades. I know usually when you are at the beach you may not care about TV but it rained several days of our vacation. TV’s were so out dated only had dvd access, my husband bought a smart TV at Walmart for the kids to watch movies. Pots and pans are stainless and very hard to clean using an electric stove. (That may be user error). The washer and dryer were a lifesaver in keeping everything wash. This Condo is in a awesome location/ short walk across the street for ice/beer/groceries and even a treat of ice cream. The beach was easily access right down 1 flight of stairs. Parking is great with one designated spot but if second space needed you had to grab a visitor spot when available. It would be great for a large family, but not the best for multiple family’s. Second bedroom only has 4 twin bunkbeds(not idea for 2 adults in a twin bed. Sofa does pull out but wasn’t ideal for us. But with a few needed upgrades I would definitely stay here again.

Nice beach access

Overall clean and pleasant except for master bedroom bedding. The fitted sheet on the left side had what appeared to be a lot of dog hair. Was not happy about that at all. Tells me house cleaning did not strip bedding. Also not enough wash clothes. If I had known would have brought my own.
