This property was absolutely perfect for our fall break getaway. Condo was clean, comfy, and the location was perfect. The beach was just a few steps away from our condo. We highly recommended Ike’s beach service located on the beach. We used them for our beach chairs and umbrella rentals. The price was very reasonable.

The condo was exceptionally clean! Lots of nice little personal touches. Nice ocean view from the living room and balcony. Communication with the owner was great and she was very helpful and quick to respond with any questions. Beach access is easy and having a reserved covered parking space was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again if in the Gulf Shores area.

Absolutely Perfect

This condo had a beautiful view, sleeps up to 6 comfortably, and had everything that we needed for our stay. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the necessities to cook meals. The communication with the owners was great and super easy. The one thing we wish we had known, is that there's a public bathroom on either the 3rd or 4th floor. There's not one downstairs, so we were going up to the 12th floor to use the bathroom. Other than that everything was excellent. Highly recommend

Perfect home away from home

We had an amazing time. Everything is exactly as the pictures depicted. The beds are comfortable and plenty of needed supplies are privided as well as comfy touches and games. We were able to order in food snd groceries as well as have lots of options within walking distance or short drives. The security guard Joe was so very kind, helpful and made sure we knew him and checked on us when he saw us. The perfect place to spend a week on the beach as we did. The balcony views were beautiful at all times of the day.
