Spectacular unobstructed view of the ocean. A quick elevator ride down and boardwalk to the beach. The building provides carts to haul all your gear up to your condo, so nice! Walking distance to restaurants, ice cream, coffee, entertainment, and souvenir shopping. Loved the condo with two rooms with king beds! Made it so nice for two couples and kids traveling together. The washer and dryer in unit were a life saver. The condo has EVERYTHING you could possibly need and more. Bedding is so comfortable and cozy which was nice with the cold front we had to start our trip.

Loved the condo and the view . So beautiful. The only 2 minor issues were the sauna was not operational and the tub in the master bedroom leaked some water into the closet at the foot of the tub. As a result we were not able to take additional baths or use the whirlpool feature. Like I said overall my family and I loved the condo. God Bless

The views were gorgeous- the place was clean. We were told no beach chairs were included so we brought ours but when we got there tge laundry room was packed full of beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, and a large tent. They also said no hair dryers & there was one in every room. The main tv had a huge black strip down the center I sent a picture to host. Although i didn’t expect a new tv they never even replied to my text. Overall it was a nice place the location was great!

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.
