Great place to stay

I took my kids for a week to stay. It was an amazing week and we loved the location. The unit we originally booked had an issue with the A/C right before we were to arrive and Sean immediately contacted me and got me into another one of his units. Sofa bed was not the most comfortable to sleep on but the kids made due. It was a great experience and we will definitely be back!

Mini getaway

Decided for a last minute trip to the beach and was looking for something on the beach. It was just two of us and found this little gem. The pictures were accurate and the place was just perfect for us. It was my daughter and I and it worked out great. The appliances looked new and the space was very clean. The hosts and property manager was very quick with their responses and made our stay easy. Would stay here again!

Last minute booking for a weekend getaway.

Good for a weekend getaway with your spouse but price was significantly too high. Facility was very old and run down but beach access was close and pools were in good shape.

Beware of this condo

I am very disappointed in this condo and I will not be staying here again or recommending it to anyone. The room smelled really bad when we checked in and continued to smell bad even after we tried to air it out. The dishes in the cabinets were dirty with food stains in some of them. The hot water heater must have not been working as we didn’t have anything but lukewarm water during our stay. Also ants were coming through the balcony door even though it was closed. I do feel bad leaving such a bad review, but I wish I would have know this before I booked this condo. I expected it to at least be clean for the price we paid!!!

Perfect!

This unit and location was perfect! Its proximity to the stairwell made it very convenient for us to just carry our belongings in lieu of using the extremely slow elevator (elevator is no fault of the owner). The unit was very clean and nice and cool upon arrival. Although not a beachfront unit, the building is on the beach, which made visits to the beach a convenient daily occurrence. Keyless entry meant no keys to lose! There are several BBQ grills available and three swimming pools to choose from plus one kids' pool. Overall this unit was perfectly located and the owners are very responsive! Will definitely consider this property again!

Perfect Beach Getaway

This is a great condo for a couple looking for a trip with easy close beach access. It is also centrally located to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach attractions and restaurants. There is parking with 24 hour security, three different pools and beach access. All we wish was that we planned more time here.

Perfect Mom/Daughter Trip

This condo was perfect for our mom/daughter trip. The decor was perfect and it had all the amenities we needed to be comfortable. The bed was extra comfy as well. I did miss an ocean view from the balcony but we were only steps from the beach and that made up for it. We enjoyed our stay.

Construction

The condo was cute and exactly like the pictures. it wasn’t super clean. There was stuff on the ground when we walked in and beside the bed. The worst part was the actual view from the balcony. There was only construction. We felt slightly misled because we don’t know about all of that construction until after we booked.

Great little studio with all the amenities

All the communication with Sean was quick and prompt!! Great little studio with all the amenities to make our stay an enjoyable experience. One thing to note is the construction next door. They do start around 7:30am which was not a problem for me since I'm an early bird but definitely something to note. Other than that everything was great and we'll be going back. Jose
