We rented a 3br/3ba condo and it was better than expected. Our condo was on the 2nd floor adjacent to the pool, which gave us an excellent view of the fishing piers and the pool. The condo was very spacious and everyone in my party of seven was comfortable. Very quiet location, perfect for relaxing and clearing your mind. The proximity to Gulf Shores and the shopping at Foley was perfect. I didn't feel like I was in the middle of the resort activity, but was close enough to get to the things I needed. My dad is a smoker so he had to go to the fire pit area to smoke, no smoking in the condo or on the balcony. I liked this policy, kept the place clean and free of cigarette or any other type of smoke. The only concern we had was the lack of railing on the fishing piers. This was not a problem for the adults, but we didn't feel comfortable allowing the children to walk out there. Overall this was a very nice trip, my family members were already planning a return trip before we left.
