This is the third time we have stayed at Gulfshores Surf & Racquet Club. There is easy access to the beach, and the beach is far enough from the large hotels not to be crowded. We enjoyed the tennis courts as well and would not hesitate to book this property again.

We were pleased with every aspect of GSSR. Condo was clean and beds were great! Second visit this summer at this complex. Will certainly stay here again!
We enjoyed our week there . Our 1st condo the fridge was leaking and there was mold . The Pool and Associates that we booked through were amazing and had us in an up grade within an hour.

Hello Kylie,
Thank you for your review and feedback. We are so glad we were able to make your stay memorable. Check out our fall and winter rates.
It was an excellent experience! The location was perfect – just a quick 5-minute walk to the beach, making it super convenient for daily trips to the shore. The condo itself had all the amenities you could possibly need, from a fully equipped kitchen to comfortable living spaces. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. There was also plenty of parking available, which was a huge plus. Overall, I highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and comfortable stay in Gulf Shores!

We appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime for another memorable stay!
Loved the unit and perfect for a long weekend. Love the location on the lagoon. Unit needs more towels and face towels. Only had one dish towel. Also, needs more silverware.

Hello Elizabeth,
Thank you for your 5 star review. We make sure there are 2 bath towels and wash clothes per guest. We are happy to bring more out. We will check the status of the silverware and replenish. Hope to see you soon!
Amazing location, great amenities, bed situation could have been better
Loved everything about the unit and it is completely as advertised. However the beds in both rooms weren’t the most comfy and the pillows were very poor and flimsy. Just plan to bring your own pillows for a better experience.

Hello Justin,
Thank you for your review and feedback. We will have our inspectors check the quality of the pillows. We would love to have you stay with us again.
We really enjoyed our stay & everything was very clean & comfortable. The only thing I wish could have been provided would be hand soap, small thing of dish soap, & beach chairs to use. I do think that parking pass should be included other than an extra charge. I would recommend to friends & family to stay at your property.

Great place!
Very clean and convenient. About 3 miles down from Hwy. 59 so it was peaceful and quiet. The price you pay is that it is not within walking distance of stores and restaurants but it is worth it. Little towel swans on the beds greeted us. It is across the street from the beach - access designated for those staying in the condos.

The condo had everything needed for the week long stay. Beautiful views with the perfect location for me. The gulf a short walk of about 2 minutes and the Little Lagoon out the back of building complex and its own boat ramp. I did miss not having a ceiling fan in the bedrooms. This was my second stay at the GSSR and it is hard to leave because of the offerings that Gulf Shores has to offer. Makes becoming a beach bum very easy.

Nice unit with great view
We really enjoyed our stay. The unit is well-maintained and well-equipped, and the view from the balcony is great. We enjoyed the sunrises from the balcony and also appreciated that the balcony and condo are protected from the afternoon sun. We would definitely stay there again. The only rather minor negatives for this tech-challenged couple were that the Wi-Fi Internet service was hit-and-miss and the main TV was somewhat complicated to operate, but even we were able to manage these minor difficulties. I would recommend this unit highly.

Clean Condo & great pool!
Cute little condo in an older building. Beach access is across the street on a private walkway. Beautiful swimming pool on location. Condo was cute. Small for a 2BR but we made it work and truly only slept and ate breakfast inside anyway. We came for the beach! There was a pack n play in the unit which was super helpful. Newer sleeper sofa which one of our adults slept on and it was more comfortable than most!

Condo was very clean lots of space private beach access. My son is 4 and Autistic he loves mirrors...this condo is full of them so he was in heaven. Only negative thing is this particular condo had no wifi so my toddler had to run off my hotspot all week draining my cell battery. (He has a tablet to keep him calm in the evenings and watch Mickey mouse so his tablet is a must have)

Thank you for the feedback, this property does now have WIFI
We rented this condo for my family reunion; 6 of us stayed here for 3 days. My husband and I shared a bedroom while our 2 kids slept on the pull-out couch. My mom and sister shares the master with en suite bathroom.
Overall our experience was very positive. The condo is close to an elevator, and having a key code entry to get in was convenient. The condo was a good size for us, and very clean. The kitchen lacked a few items we needed, but it was mostly well-stocked. The only real complaint came from our kids about the sofa bed being uncomfortable.

Thank you for your 5 star review. We would love to have you stay with us again!
Check-in process was very easy. Condo was clean. Bring everything you will need to cook and clean up. You will need trash bags and hand soap too. The location is perfect. The lagoon in on one side. There are piers perfect for fishing and watching the wildlife. Across the street is a private section of beach with amazing views. 2 bedrooms were plenty big for couples. Closet was lacking space, but for a week it worked. Balcony looked over the pool and lagoon. No problem with elevators. Condo is away from busiest part of town, but easy to get to whatever you need. We will definitely stay here again!
