We loved our stay. It was so inspiring. Lived the full glass windows, the master suite, all of the rooms were beautiful. We definitely wood come back. Loved the access to the beach and that they had canopies and beach umbrellas and four chairs. We wished we could have extended stay it was so tranquil. The management company was so responsive. Cannot say enough about the condo.

Excellent!

We have stayed in several other condos in Gulf Shores over the years but this one by far was the best. Great location to local restaurants and attractions, condo had everything we needed for our stay, plus some. Great view off the large balcony with plenty of seating. Kitchen was very well stocked. Would definitely stay again.

Assuming that you are meaning the Management Co host --ok - not particularly welcoming --busy with multiple check ins - don't recall her even saying anything to us. One elevator down so long line. Unit clean and well appointed. One of the most nicely decorated places we have stayed. Photos do it justice. Comfortable in side and out (Submitted a few things to management co. on check out day that should probably be watched ...lint trap dryer to outside seems very full dryer doesn't dry well and is a fire hazard, water filter on fridge says it needs a new filter, pillows not real comfortable, front bathroom toilets run after flushing.) Elevators out one day - would have been nice to have a more timely communication of what was happening.
