Great location with amazing views!

This was a great location. Amazing views of the ocean and beach from the balcony. The property was clean and welcoming. Lots of places are walkable. I had to contact the property twice to send check-in information since I still hadn’t received check-in information 24hrs prior to arrival. It was supposed to be sent 3days prior to arrival. Other than the check-in issue the place was great!

Very Goid

Stay was great. VRBO added fees after I went to checkout. Fees were not added on listing when I was given total. At check in, the Ladies were ass holes about parking. I simply asked about the other location for a second vehicle, and they were very rude about it. Overall we had a great time. We have been going to Gulf Shores. Orange Beach every other week and staying in a hotel. I think we will be seeking a condo now. Place was very clean. TV confusing with all the remotes. Would stay here again
