The title says it all - we do not frequently revisit the places we vacation. This trip has changed that for us and we will definitely be back next year! Everything about this place from the accomodations to the amenities to the proximity to the ocean & excellent local eateries was ideal!

This property location and size gets 10 stars! Its a small complex which is private and less busy. The balcony looks right towards the beach, 100 feet from the deck and you are on the beach. The condo inside needs some maintenance but easy repairs like broken decorations, seal around shower hanging off, seal around exterior door hanging off, and sliding glass door/lock was difficult. The biggest problem was that there was no extra toilet paper, only allowed 2 rolls each bathroom. This is an excellent rental on Gulf Shores if you like quiet, less busy than the larger condos, and prime beach spot. You can rent the chairs and umbrella right outside this condo. Its a 1.5 mile walk on the beach to the Hangout Restaurant. Love this location!!!

My family loved our stay at this condo. It was very clean, updated, and had a perfect view for our morning coffee with a short walk to the beach from our deck. Beds were very comfortable. I can’t say enough about the location/view of the condo, we will book again and have referred our family and friends as well! Host was great to work with!

I stayed here for a week in mid June with my family and kids, this property (specially this unit) is in an awesome location within walking distance to the beach, and with a middle balcony you get shade if you want to enjoy the view. The condo itself is mostly updated but very nice, could use a few brush ups on the inside but otherwise a very nice place to rent!! would use again!

We love staying here simply cause you can walk right out your gulf facing condo right onto the beach. You also park right at your unit. Second year in a row and we will be back.

Very nice well maintained property. Plenty of space for a family of five to stay for a week. I really appreciate the number of hooks around the condo to hang up wet towels and swim suits. The back patio was perfect for drinking our morning tea and watching the beach come alive with. The parking is tight but of all the parking spaces assigned in the complex this one has the best spots for getting in and out!! This property is definitely high on our list of favorites!

The location was perfect. Our kids could walk out of the patio and onto the beach. We had a great view from the deck. The house had everything we needed to cook and stay comfortably. The pool under the house, in the shade, was a great addition to the trip. Highly recommend this place, and the kind hosts. Thank you!

Loved the ability to walk straight onto the beach. Kitchen had all the basic items we needed to cook several meals. Appreciated the beach toys. (Stayed 4 nights.) Saw a previous review that the hair dryer was not there. Packed one with us. Would totally stay again.

The location of the condo was perfect. It is literally steps from the ocean. Front deck with an amazing view of the sand and ocean. Everything about the trip was great. Had a few challenges with the automatic locks but it was probably user error. Everything worked fine and the stay was great. I will definitely look to rent this condo again in the future!

We absolutely loved how close we were to the beach! Having a staircase off the balcony is perfect. You’re literally just a few steps away from the beach/ocean. The condo is beautifully decorated and spacious. There’s even games and books available, great for those rainy days! We will definitely book here again!

Easy checkin process. Location cannot be beat! We sat on the balcony overlooking the water every am and saw dolphins in the water. Great start to each day. Plenty of room for 4 kids and 3 adults. Easy access to restaurants and stores. But we also did a fair amount of cooking at home. Available parking, it was a tight squeeze but we have a large SUV. A/C was great after a day in the sun. Also we used the microwave and an appliance at the same time, and i think we tripped the breaker switch. otherwise we had a fantatic stay!

Gorgeous location and home! We loved our time at this location. The beach is gorgeous with nothing but built in entertainment. The water and sand is beautiful and shells everywhere! Our kids were entertained all day. The convenience of being able to step right out your door and not have to haul stuff to the beach was amazing. The sleeping accommodations were great and the washer and dryer were a daily lifesaver. Our host was incredibly kind and communicated when we have an issue with the air that was resolved. Highly recommend eating at Doc’s Seafood Shack on Canal Rd and ordering the Fried Shrimp. We also loved GTS… Shrimp and Grits.

We loved the location of the property! It was wonderful to walk right out to the beach. Owner was prompt to answer questions. It was an older property that needed a few repairs (blinds in bathroom did not come all the way down to cover the window, some dresser drawers broken, bathroom door off hinges, lock on front door hard to open & close). Overall a great stay though! Will definitely consider coming again.

The view from balcony was gorgeous. So convenient to the beach. You will need to take your own beach chairs and umbrella as these are not available. Not a big deal for the view and being just steps from the beach. You do have to go up and down a flight of stairs every time you go to beach. Definitely not for those who are unable to climb stairs. It is convenient to have the washer and dryer to keep up with the towels needing washed. You can pack less clothes knowing you can wash them there. Be sure to take some detergent as they only provide enough for one load. We hope to go back for our next beach vacation.

This apartment was somehow even better than we anticipated! The location is perfect! We could walk down from the balcony straight onto the beach is is super rear to find in Gulf Shores! The condo was very homely, beds were amazing and it can accommodate for a bigger group then the 3 of us that stayed! We communicated a lot with Marty and he made sure we knew about events going on and made us feel comfortable to call with anything we needed! Would recommend to anyone, we just wish we had booked our stay longer!!
