My husband and I took our two daughters and their two daughters on vacation and had a wonderful time.
8.0
The condo was gorgeous. The view was breathtaking. Our vacation was lovely. The property management company, Alabama Getaways, was less than ideal to work with. The many methods of communication were confusing, and communication within the company also seems like it could use some fine-tuning. If we find ourselves in Alabama again, I would put effort into avoiding working with them.

Our stay was excellent!! The rooms were spacious and the views were awesome!!
We had a mishap with garage parking, we had two vehicles and two parking passes. We parked in the garage on our final night due to rain, both spaces were marked with our condo number (one marked on the wall, the other marked on the ground); however, our second vehicle had a note on it this morning to indicate it was mis-parked. Be careful with the confusing parking spots in the garage. Aside from that, WE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR STAY!!

The condo looked exactly like the online pictures. Everything was clean and in good shape. The proximity to the beach was perfect. We will definitely stay here again.

Great unit, very up to date decor and all beds were very comfortable. My only suggestion would be to have cushions on the outside bench and chairs
10.0
The condo was beautiful and spotless, just as advertised. Management was quick to respond to messages and incredibly friendly. Even met the housekeepers as we were departing, and they were extremely friendly. We couldn't be happier with our choice to stay in the condo. We will most certainly be back. You will not regret choosing this place.
10.0
The unit is amazing. There is everything you need to enjoy your stay.
Watch out for the chair rental people on the beach. They wanted to charge us $45 for 1 hour to sit there.
Other than that the unit was easy to get to. Easy to get to the beach. Very nice views from the 13th floor. Corner unit was the best!! Can’t wait to come back. Thank you again.

Property was great! Planning to go back again same time next year!

We chose this location due to its beach access and proximity to restaurants, stores, and family activities. The property provided everything we needed, from spacious rooms, bathrooms for everyone, beautiful beach steps away, and a pool for late night swimming. We only had one issue with a door not closing properly to the balcony, but they came out quickly after our request for repair and it was taken care of that day. Great responsiveness from the management team made for easy answers to our questions, and a comfortable stay. I highly recommend!

The property was clean & lovely decor with a great view! A family vacation we will never forget! A heated indoor pool & exercise room also. 3 bathrooms & 3 bedrooms made it so nice for entire family! Views from all 3 rooms amazing views from 13th floor. Washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Nice table with 6 sturdy chairs for family dining. Nice couch with lovely rug and swivel chair plus recliner, tv in each room. Need I say more? Best Place Ever! Memories to last a lifetime!

Alabama Getaway property managers are the best to stay with. There properties are always well maintained and customer service is outstanding. We plan to stay at their properties again.

This was one of our favorite condos. The views were amazing and we loved the layout. We stayed during New Year's eve so getting an elevator was not a problem; however, during the busy summer months, it could be an issue with only 2 elevators.
10.0
Unit was amazingly clean, the furnishings and appliances looked new, and the location was gorgeous. There are views of the ocean from two sides and views of the lagoon from another two bedrooms. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful condo—very clean and easy to move around in. Great views of the water and the beach! Have stayed there before and would stay there again!
10.0
The condo was great. The view was perfect. Loved being right on the beach. We like the new design on the pool. Looked nice but the water was much colder than previous years. It says it was heated but did not feel like it. Over all we loved it
10.0
My family and I had a great time even though it rained a lot. Location is convenient. The views were amazing from every part of the condo. The place was perfect and looked exactly as advertised. My only complaint about the condo is the door to the balcony in the master bedroom would not lock. The shower in the master is amazing. I had all 3 showerheads on me at the same time. It was like the water was massaging me. Lol we never found sheets for the pull out sofa but there were plenty of extra blankets that worked just fine. We didn’t have room in the car to brink our beach chairs. We were so happy to see there were some in the room already. There were also beach toys, shovels, buckets and a beach ball. We added wiffle ball and rackets to the beach toys there. The kitchen had everything we needed and I loved the sink.
3 things I didn’t love. The room is located by the trash shoot. Smelled slightly gross to me but no one else with me cared. The elevators are so slow! I mean so so slow. On Saturday it was terrible trying to go up any down. And last, it rained very hard yesterday so we relocated to the pool only to be told that it was closed. That was very disappointing. But we found games in the room and still had a great time.
We would love to stay here again. This is definitely one of the nicest condos we’ve ever vacationed in. Thanks so much for letting us stay.

Great location! A few minor items needed repairs prior to our arrival (towel and toilet paper racks in master bedroom were all loose-I reported, remotes for tv's need batteries and a few issues like this-nothing major). We thoroughly enjoyed the property and location, would definitely stay again!
10.0
We had a lovely time staying here for Hangout 2023. The pictures are exactly as the place looks, and the view just cannot be beat!
At the risk of sounding negative for what was still an amazing experience, just some notes for future travelers: all the different communication avenues needed for check caused a bit of confusion (VRBO, text, and email). Would recommend only to use their office phone number via text for any check in needs, they are very quick to respond here and didn't receive everything I sent via VRBO messages!
Additionally, the very low amount of certain very necessary items for a big group of 8 people staying 5 nights (hardly any dish soap, trash bags, only one toilet paper roll per bathroom, no salt/pepper/spices, etc.) Some of this is mentioned in the listing, but I still thought it felt a bit skimpy considering what you are paying for the place. However, nothing a quick grocery trip couldn't fix!
Overall, still definitely a 5 star experience and we would love to come back + recommend this to anyone considering staying here!

Our stay was fine except for one thing. My husband Steve has had several spinal fusion surgeries so he is not able to go into the ocean because of the strong waves. He was really looking forward to using the pool and whirlpool. Both were closed for remodeling. That was our only complaint.
8.0
9 people you need more than 3 rolls of tissue. I texted about getting in the inside pool and it was a long wait for reply. We were given incorrect codes for pool and beach entrance. I texted about the boarding in the kitchen and the ceiling fan making noises all night. I was told it would be taken care of but wasn’t. The master bedroom does need updated matress! As stated before me in January. The kids enjoyed their stay tho!

Beautiful property. Perfect for family so nice to have bathrooms for all bedrooms. Nice beach workout room etc.
Only feedback, providing more than one roll tp, and small amounts of dish soap, dishwasher liquid. Usually more is provided. But other than that, absolutely perfect! Would love to stay again
10.0
This condo is nearly perfect! The only negative thing I can comment on is the comfort of the bed in the master bedroom. The mattress was tolerable but does need to be replaced. Another guest commented on the recliner that isn't in the best shape cosmetically but at least it is comfortable so I had no issues there. The location and the views from multiple windows throughout (including the bedrooms) as well as the expansive balcony with views of the ocean AND the bay across the highway were AMAZING! We also appreciated that each bedroom had its own full bathroom.
10.0
Overall stay was just fine. A few things I would offer as feedback to the owners. First, PLEASE look into a new mattress for the master. What is there is way past it's life, hard as rock, and springs are shot. I could not use the master. Given there are two other bedrooms, we managed fine. Master bath is excellent!! The shower is incredible! Second, pictures presented showed a chaise lounger on balcony. This was no longer there. Again, we managed, but wanted to have that option. Finally........the recliner. I've seen other review comments on the recliner for this unit. It's worn, ripped and past it's prime and needs replacing. Everything else about this unit was as advertised and we enjoyed our stay!!! Would book this unit again for sure!!

My husband and I booked this condo for a family trip with our 2 adult sons and a daughter-in-law. The 3 bedroom and 3 baths was perfect for everyone to have their own privacy and the kitchen/living area, with amazing views of the bay and the ocean, was perfect for us to hang out together. We will try and book again when heading back to the area.

Enjoyed it
The only problem we found is the need for at least 2 more elevators and fans in the current elevators. Also, our beach code didn't work, but another family was kind enough to share and theirs worked!
