Enjoyed stay - very clean, comfortable seating, essentials provided, easy check-in, easy check-out, easy parking, close to restaurants and shopping, unit was as exactly as described. Loved the ceiling fans to help keep interior cool and the night lights for accessibility during the night.

Property was centrally located to the main area in Gulf Shores and within walking distance to most attractions. Unit was very nice with easy beach access and a fantastic pool

This was a great condo! Stayed here in early August with two adults and two older teens. Condo is well maintained. Great communication with the owner. We had everything we needed for our stay. Extremely close and easy access to the beach.
We did buy beach chairs/umbrella at Walmart because the rental set up was set back from the beach a fair amount and the tents were required to be in the very back of the beach front. Would stay here again!

We had a wonderful time during our stay at this lovely condo. The location is so handy and the views priceless!! Wanted a vacation to get away and “unplug” and couldn’t have been happier. We really had no issues for which we had to contact Terry. His communications were thorough, easy to follow and very timely! Our son and family came for visit and the two bedrooms worked out very well! Thank you for allowing us time in your lovely condo. Jim & Terri Glenn

We have already booked this condo for next year and we can't wait to be back.

This condo is great for 2 people. Balcony is small but great view. Clean and nicely decorated. The only suggestion I would offer is that the mattress are not comfortable and should be replaced. Also the front door could be more attractive with fresh paint. When I saw the front door (first impression), I was concerned but the condo was great. We would definitely stay here again.

The unit is clean and well stocked with awesome dolphin views. The vibe is pretty low key, so makes it great for a truly relaxing vacation. And I just cannot say enough about how responsive and helpful Terry is. This is our second stay at his unit and I intend to return again next year.

Property was very much as advertised, perhaps even better. Views of the gulf were incredible, access to beach and pool a breeze. Unit conveniently close to elevator and well furnished. Master Bed was super comfortable and has two great windows to look at the gulf while laying in the bed. We will definitely be back in this unit in the future!

We enjoyed our stay at Sit & Sea. This was one of the cleanest VRBOs that we have stayed in. The pictures are great but this place looks even better in person. We had everything we needed to have a good time. The walk to the beach was short. We drank our coffee on the balcony every morning and saw dolphins. We walked the beach each evening and enjoyed the lovely sunsets. We will rent this condo again when we return to Gulf Shores.

We loved our stay here! The location is perfect, steps from the beach where we spent most of our days. It is also within walking distance to so many stores and restaurants. The condo is spacious and clean and communication with the host was great. We were even able to see dolphins from the balcony on the first day! We would love to return in the future.

It can be a little unnerving vacationing with 2 children (5 & 7) but this condo was perfect for our vacation! The kids loved the pool, and the beach was a dream. The condo had everything we needed and was in great condition. We had plenty of space and never ran out of hot water. The people working at the property were all so nice and welcoming. Terry promptly got back with us with questions we had and kept us up-to-date on all the information we would need. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great property to book with. Very close to the public beach, which we used a lot to walk around. Access to the beach was excellent. Being within walking distance of so many different businesses such as food, groceries and bar/grill is great!

Everything was as pictured. If you are looking for a stay in Gulf Shores with easy beach access, then this is it. Nice comfortable beds, good comfortable couches, with a nice kitchen and clean bathrooms. Close to the public beach area but far enough away for a little peace and quiet. Easy access to shopping and restaurants. Terry was very thorough with information. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed my stay at Sit N Sea. I used the fitness center and walked the beach everyday. It was convenient to many bars and restaurants and within walking distance. The view from unit was first class and I watched Dolphin's swim by on many days and sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. The building, grounds and pool were well maintained, and all the staff were friendly.
