We had an amazing time at the condo! Everyone enjoyed the balcony and views. We were close enough to walk to the hangout and listen to music. Several restaurants were also within walking distance. The condo is just so convenient and well stocked. We loved it!

We loved the Gulf Shores!

From the time we booked this property until we checked out, 17 days later, we thoroughly enjoyed it and all that it had to offer! It was close in proximity to shopping, food, drinks and golf. If and/or when we go back to Gulf Shores Alabama, we will definitely stay at San Carlos Condominiums!! Kudos to Rhonda and Ken for having an amazing place in which we got our first “taste” of retirement life!!

A wonderful place to stay

The condo was even more beautiful than the pictures. It was clean and updated. The view was amazing. The people on property answered all questions and were extremely nice. We went during Hangout Fest and had security over the parking garage/condo. Making it feel secure and kept it from over crowding our parking. The location was fantastic for Festivals or just to walk around the shops/restaurants. The owners kept in touch with us all the way up to our trip and kept detailed information at the condo making it easy to feel at home. Definitely will be going back!

Anniversary Trip

Excellent communication with owners, great location with breathtaking views. We loved the sunrise and sunset views everyday. We saw dolphins from the balcony and while sitting on the beach. Location is very close to all restaurants and shopping, some within walking distance. The master bed’s spring mattress was uncomfortable and my husband would wake me up whenever he rolled over, some cooking utensils in kitchen need replaced and the jacuzzi tub would frequently shut off every 5-10 minutes. We loved the Bluetooth speaker in the bathroom, coffee maker/Keurig and enjoyed the Adirondack chairs on the balcony. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda and Ken

Host profile image
We live in Gulf Shores, and adore the Alabamian coast! We know the area intimately, and love to assist travelers in helping them create a beachfront vacation that truly impregnates their mind and heart forever!

We are passionate stewards of helping guests create the best beach experience possible by sharing our Orange Beach or Gulf Shores condos (vrbo - 494929; vrbo - 581054; vrbo - 678816;; vrbo - 1171303; vrbo - 2166978)!

We are passionate for living and being in this proximity, which never leaves our hearts. We are enthralled with love for this area, and become ever more close with its nature, beauty, and the communal of people.

Together, we are passionate for shoreline, sun, sand, daily walks and talks. We always have craved visits and time spent at the gulf and fresh water lakes, including beach-combing for unique shells and sea glass. We welcome the opportunity to share our home with you and those whom you love.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of its stately exterior architecture, and the unique spacious floor-plan, with the master bedroom overlooking the sights and sounds of the Gulf of Mexico.

As well, we adore the urban beach community living that Gulf Shores has to offer. We love walking though the white sands of the gulf, and being able to have the opportunity to walk to all local stores and markets for essentials and specific needs.

We also own property in Orange Beach, and love all of the areas along the Gulf Coast here and wanted to connect the stretch of beach and beauty between Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

What makes this property unique

Wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-ceiling views are breath taking and all overlook the Gulf, with a massive stretch of stunning shoreline.

Immediate access and adjacency to restaurants, music and shopping - all within easy walking distance (street or beach side).
