Winter getaway

The condo was very well equipped with kitchen amenities and nice linens. It was very convenient to restaurants and other attractions. The only negative was that the carpet in the master bedroom and bath could use a good cleaning.. Enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location and property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are repeat customers at this property because of it's location, the size of the individual condos and the fact that the property as a whole is not that large so you are not fighting crowds in the building, parking lots or beach front. The condo is always very clean and the layout is perfect for our needs. The owners are very helpful and available whenever you need them. I definitely recommend this property to anyone.

Short getaway to the gulf shores

We had a great time. It was our first time visiting the gulf shores. The location was great , we were right on the beach. Walking distance to restaurants and convenient stores. Our last night though the fire alarm went off which was a bit nerve-wracking, but it was a false alarm. Would definitely stay again.

The best supplied condo we have stayed in in 30 years.

My family and I have stayed in multiple condos in GS/OB for 30 years now. This unit was simply the best condo in regards to the dishes, utensils, appliances, etc. that were available. There was even a selection of beach chairs, toys, books, and games all to use. The unit was very spacious as well, with plenty of elbow room. Even the smallest bedroom didn't feel too cramped. We were very impressed. The layout of the condo itself seems slightly strange at first, as you enter a small vestibule area that splits to a hallway to the right and the kitchen directly ahead. But this turned out to be an amazing thing, as there were no "traffic jams" trying to get in/out the door while someone was cooking in the kitchen. As with most condos, the furniture was adequate, but this is really only an issue if the weather is foul or at night before hitting bed. (Though the dining table chairs are uncomfortable for prolonged seating and need new seat springs.) I would love to see some better seating options on the balcony, but that's me just being picky. The complex itself was only about 14 units. Parking could be a little tight in season, if all the units are occupied. But we did not have that problem with a per-Memorial Day stay. Location is almost perfect out on West Beach Blvd. The only slight downside is the nearby public beach, a larger complex next door, and a lot of foot traffic from deeded access the street. We will likely stay here again.

Beach front paradise

The property was unmatched. No large crowds and beautiful views of the beach and the pool. All just steps away. Our family fit perfectly in the 3 the bedroom with everyone having their own bathroom. Also within walking distance is a bar and grill with a beach store/convenient store.

Nice, roomy, condo. Convenient location, and close to the ground floor meant that we could skip the elevator. Parking lot is tight, so don’t bring a huge truck

Gulf shores family vacay

We had to contact owner to get the door to open when we first arrived, he answered the call quickly, was kind and helpful with instructions, we got the door to open after that and had no further issues. We enjoyed our 5 night stay. The deck has an oceanfront view which is absolutely beautiful.

My stay at Casa Del Sole

Our condo was perfect. It had everything we needed plus more. Many things that I brought were already there. My family felt the same way. My grandson had trouble with the Internet, but that was the only thing. We never turned on the TV sets. The location was great and we’ve stayed at Gulf Shores a few times. But this place was wonderful. I would ask for the same place if I went again

Great family stay

This is our second time staying at this condo and we loved it even more this time around. The location is great and it is the most convenient place for families with small children. The walk to the beach is short and the first floor location makes it so easy to use the stairs and not have to rely on the elevator. The condo itself is well equipped and comfortable. It really does feel like home away from home. We will absolutely be back again!

Look No Further

My husband and I stayed with our 3 kids, ages 13-19. This was perfect for us and if we go back to GS, we will look to book this property. We loved the smaller building with less hustle & bustle of the larger complexes. The condo was very clean and the space worked for our group. The location was also perfect and only steps away from the beach and pool. Beds were comfortable and kitchen/supplies stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the owner was quick and easy. Couldn't have asked for a better accommodation.
