ABOUT THE CONDO
Take the elevator to the 4th level and step inside a bright and airy condo with vaulted ceilings and light-colored tiled flooring. On the right, the master bedroom invites you to kick back in a king bed and watch your own 32” flat-screen TV. A closet and white wood dresser provide plenty of space to unpack, while a new stacked washer and dryer next door make it easy to keep up with laundry.

After a full day of sand and sun, settle onto a 3-seat sleeper sofa and upholstered armchair to watch your favorite Blu-ray movies on a 50” flat-screen, wall-mounted TV. Ascend the elegant spiral staircase in the living area to find a loft bedroom with 2 full beds and a 29” flat-screen TV with Blu-ray player.
Best of all, sliding glass doors in the living area lead out to a private balcony overlooking a resort-style pool and the Gulf. Enjoy cool drinks and conversation as you dine alfresco at a glass-top table set for four.
Please note the HOA does not allow support animals (ESA). Guest will be evicted by the HOA if found to have an ESA animal in the condo or on the grounds.

We enjoyed our stay here. It has great views of the ocean. The communication with the property manager was great. We will stay here again. Thanks for a great getaway!
We loved it! It was across the street from the state park beach so we didn’t have to drive to get to the beach. It was a perfect place to stay. It had room for me and my husband and our five kids. Beautiful view of the beach and a nice swimming pool.
Overall the room was just what we expected . The Grandkids really liked the pool.

Great time in Golf shores
This was an excellent place to stay in Gulf Shores. The view was excellent! The state park on the other side of the road ensures that there isn’t a building in your line of vision. The condo was clean and exactly as shown on the site. I wish I would have watched the video on how the locks work before I got there, but once we figured it out we were golden.

Great Condo, Amazing View
We loved the condo. Had tons of cooking items and enjoyed the little extras like extra pillows and blankets. We could have fit more than 8, but comfortably that's about right. Spacious and near all the little shops. Would definitely recommend.
Condo was clean and looked just like listed. I had a little trouble with the door but everything else was awesome

Lopez Family VACAY JULY2018!
This Condo was so nice !! my family loved it, you are right on the strip! and right across from the beach, which is a fabulous view !! Condo was very Clean and accommodated all 7 of us well.,, We would like to thank the owner for sharing there home with us! we had so much fun !! and we was very Comfortable !! !
This home needs a good deep cleaning and new mattresses. You known it’s bad when your 5 yr old wakes up the first morning and says “mom can I sleep somewhere that doesn’t feel like rocks tonight?” 😔

We had a fantastic stay! The walk to the beach sucked but overall had a great time.
Overall, pretty nice.
No good place to store food.
TV can be confusing I'm sure for people that aren't experienced in dealing with electronics.
View is very nice.

Reviewer Comments:
First time to Gulf Shores. Visited other beaches but by far this was the best beach experience ever. Loved the condo, it was up to date and very welcoming. I will definitely be looking to stay in it next year if it’s available.
Size of property was exactly what we needed! Only major concern was the door being ajar at check in. The door lock and key pad wasn’t the best either. We didn’t have our parking passes for the first night so I was a little worried about my car getting towed, but thankfully the night staff said my handwritten note was okay until we got the passes. Overall great stay! So close to the beach but not in the middle of everything.

I really enjoyed my stay. Turn key was amazing any problems or issues I had they took care of them right then and there. I will most definitely be renting with them again. The place was nice. The kids really enjoyed the smart tv with the game system as well as all the card games.
