  Our unit was beautiful and exactly as described. It was easy to access the beach and has a beautiful view of the gulf. Super quiet. Pool is very nice. We loved this building and this beach.

  Laura T from Louisville, KY recommends this vacation rental

  This property was on the 5th floor and had a very large balcony with access from the master bedroom as well as the living room and plenty of seating for up to 12 people with a view of the beach. It was very clean, comfortable and updated. Access and arrival/departure instructions were easy and there was great communication with Gulf Shores Rentals when we had questions. I would definitely stay at this place again!

  David E from Crane, MO does not recommend this vacation rental.

  This condo experience could have been better. Neither bathroom had outlets that worked - I had to go to Walmart & buy a 12 foot extension cord to use for my hairdryer & flat iron. In the 1st bathroom when you enter the condo the shower would not shut completely off & hissed 24 hrs a day. We had 6 people with 2 Rolls of 1 ply bath tissue, one roll of cheap paper towels, two tiny bars of hotel type soap & a cheap tiny bottle of dishing liquid. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m tired of paying premium prices for nothing. They also informed us we had to bring our own beach towels! We found dirty dishes in the cabinet & some dirty silverware. The condo was decorated cute & most of it was clean. We were given the wrong code for the gates to the pool & beach access but one of the owners gave us his code before the property manager got back to us. We loved the chairs on the balcony & the view was really good even though it was a side view. The kids had a great time & that’s what we were concerned about. I don’t think I would rent this unit again for the price we paid. We work hard for our money and expected more. These type of rentals will not give any type of refund for the inconveniences.

  Love the room, the aridondack chairs are awesome, this is the 2nd year we have rented this condo and absolutely love it. My only suggestion would be to replace the toilet with a higher one in the bathroom by the deck. Plus the common bathroom shower drips constantly.

  The unit was very clean, but the patio furniture could sure use an upgrade. The sliding doors were very hard to open. Other than that, we enjoyed our time here.

  Chadwin B from Moss Point, MS does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The condo was very spacious, but showed its age. It was not as clean as it should have been either. There was a pair of lady’s underwear on top of the couch, some hair in the shower, candy bar wrapper on the floor, and the glasses in the cabinet appeared to have mold in them. WIFI connection is also not great at all and kept going in an out.
