About this property

Top-Floor Gulf Shores Unit 205 w/ Sunset Balcony-By Island Real Estate

Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and end every evening with a breathtaking Gulf sunset at this stunning beachfront condo on Holmes Beach accessed by stairs only (no elevator). Located in the highly sought-after Gulf Shores Condominiums, Unit 205 offers a serene coastal escape with a screened-in balcony overlooking the dazzling white sands and turquoise water.

Perfect for families or couples traveling together, this condo sleeps six comfortably across three inviting bedrooms—two with plush king beds and one with a cozy queen. The living area features warm, natural light and opens into a well-appointed kitchen ideal for preparing fresh island meals. Enjoy breakfast with a view or dine outdoors as the sky turns shades of pink and gold.

Just steps from your door is the stop for Anna Maria Island’s free trolley, making it easy to explore local restaurants, island boutiques, historic attractions, and beloved spots like Bridge Street and the Rod & Reel Pier.

Guests also enjoy free WiFi, entertainment options including flatscreen TVs, and private assigned parking. A 7-night minimum stay is required, and guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Anna Maria Island’s noise ordinance aims to ensure citizens can enjoy a peaceful environment. The ordinance applies to all areas of the city, including public and private property, and places of business. It defines noise as any sound that annoys or disturbs a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities or causes or tends to cause an adverse physical or psychological effect on such reasonable person. The noise ordinance limits the maximum permissible noise levels to:
7 AM–10 PM: 65 decibels: (Consistently shouting in the pool exceeds 65 decibels)
10 PM–7 AM: 50 decibels: (An audible conversation from 50’ or 15 meters away exceeds 50 decibels). The ordinance also prohibits plainly audible noise, which refers to any sound that can be clearly heard by a person using their normal hearing faculties. This means that a person can still be in violation if the noise can be easily heard by responding officers from a distance of 100 feet from the property line. Fines for excessive noise can range from $100 to $1,000.

The condo was good. Definitely needs some updates, lots of light switches dont work, a little loud with the bedrooms in the front, but what makes up for it is the amazing location, you really cant ask for a better location. Amazing sunsets, very private area on the beach, great location to easily get to lots of places. 25 steps to get in, but with that view and location who’s counting.
