The condo owner was very friendly and attentive to every detail, from the check-in process to recommendations for things to do. The unit was very clean and recently updated. We enjoyed our stay and only wished we could have stayed longer.

From the owner: "Hi Leigh, thank you for your review and very kind words. After listening to our previous guests' comments and suggestions, Lorie and I put a lot of attention and effort into the condo renovation, focusing on beauty and comfort. I handled the comfort, and Lorie, as usual, was the expert on beauty. We’re so glad you approved of the results!"
I took my mother here to celebrate her birthday and we had an amazing stay! Condo was clean and exactly as described. Parking garage was well kept. All 3 pools were clean. Loved the location and the fact that quiet hours are implemented.
Property itself is dated and needs some TLC with no frills but overall a great place for the price. Multiple pools, close on the beach access. Condo was well kept and clean. Overall great experience and would certainly return

The condo we stayed in was great. One of the elevators wasn ’t working when we got there so we walked up three flights of stairs with our luggage unknowingly there was another elevator in the back. The owners of the condo were great.

From the owner: ''You’ve given us a great idea that will benefit our future guests. As we review and update our amenities list on the condo description, we’ll be sure to mention the property has two elevators. We’ll also suggest to the Sugar Beach Condo’s Management that when one elevator is out of service they post the location of the second elevator. Compliments of the Sonshine Escapes Back Preservation Assn.''
Great location! Perfect size for two. The kitchen was equipped with everything. Central air was great. Washer n dryer in unit. Not the best view but short distance to the beach. Grilli g on site. Owners very accommodating. Bed was super soft. Guards super nice n helpful.
We enjoyed being along the beach and our hosts were great—quick to respond to questions and allowed us slightly early entry. Everything worked, the bed was comfy. Didn’t think to bring our own coffee so we were without. Next time we’ll probably find a place with the bedroom on the main level, though this was fine. Road was a little noisy but traffic died down by bedtime. We wanted to walk to restaurants—and we did—but it was quite a hike along the busy road. Loved the nearby access to the biking paths.
The property was clean and in a good location. However, the mattress on the bed is awful. So hard. I recommend replacing that. The tv's were fuzzy, both upstairs and downstairs. The upstairs toilet would flush when it wanted to. There were extra pillows in the upstairs closet, but no pillow cases. The air unit is set to where you cannot go below 70 degrees. We like it cold and have ours set on 68 at home, but could not do that here at this condo. It would not allow us to go under 70. Overall, an ok stay. The owner texted me a lot and I think if I would have needed them, they would have answered quickly. However, the things that need to be fixed weren't that urgent, just annoying. In conclusion, we willl not be staying here again.

Janie, we're so happy to hear you found the property to be clean and in a great location! We understand that mattress comfort is very personal and subjective, but we apologize if the mattresses in this home weren't to your liking. Additionally, the homeowner wishes you would have reached out regarding your other concerns as they would have been happy to go to generous measures to address all of your concerns and make things right. As is evidenced by the many 5-star reviews, this owner is accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and we feel confident future guests will have exceptional stays. We wish you the best in your future travels! Best, the Evolve Team
Great condo! Had everything we needed. The beach chairs and umbrella were a great cost savings too since we didn’t have to rent them! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
I have never used VRBO before and I would definitely use them again. The booking experience was so easy.
The condo was clean and it was just a short walk right onto the beach. It was equipped with everything you could need even beach chairs. The upstairs bed was very comfortable and clean. The owner John was very nice and personally text us the next morning after we arrived to make sure we got in and that we had a comfortable night. If you’re wanting to stay in gulf shores/orange beach I recommend this condo!!
This was a wonderful anniversary get away spot. Although the condo was small, it was clean and well supplied with cooking necessities/toiletries. The bed was comfortable. There were even comfortable beach chairs provided. Although our check in was a little difficult, it was because I had not seen the email that went to my junk mail with all the check in information. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and would highly recommend.
Seaside, easy access to Beach. 1 mi from Gulf Shores State Park 2 miles from the pier. 10/10 will stay here again.

Loaction
We visit Orange Beach once or twice a year. We have found that condos such as this, being "beach side" makes life easier when visiting the beach several times a day. This condo is also near EVERYTHING. Gulf Shores State Park, The Pier Gulf Shores and several restaurants. This condo was very clean, we have had problems at other places having to have the cleaning services come back to clean after we have checked in. 9/10 will stay here again

Great Stay
My husband and I stayed at this condo due to the location to the State Park and beach access. It was just what we were looking for. Trail access to the park were right across the street, great for morning runs. The beach was great. We didn’t use the pools but they were clean and warm. The condo had everything that we needed. Communication was great with the owner. We would stay again.
