    This little beauty was clean and well kept with a beautiful view. We loved the location. It was an easy walk to shops, restaurants, and especially a cute little coffee shop! Highly recommend!

    Holly D from Huntsville, AL does not recommend this vacation rental.

    The location was good, the bed was too hard and uncomfortable and there was literally no room to get around it without squeezing by the dresser. There is no bathroom in the lobby or by the pool which is a huge inconvenience. There are two elevators but at no point in our stay did both work properly at the same time and we got stuck in one for ten minutes. There were a few other ppl on different occasions who also got stuck. I would not recommend at all.

    a guest from Birmingham, AL does not recommend this vacation rental.

    The serene beach view picture is very deceiving. What you don't see directly below is a service entrance with trash pick up noise and delivery before dawn, the pool is directly to the right with screaming kids and loud music until 11:00 pm, the boardwalk is double the length that you see with non stop foot traffic and the grilling station is there. All you smell is lighter fluid at the dinner hour. The coffee maker did not work. The unit's furniture is in dior need of upgradeing. Good Luck enjoying your stay.. The people above me smoked on the balcony, so I could not enjoy the sunrise, or the sunset without smelling smoke. The front door of the unit is not secure. There is no deadbolt and the code entry eliminates the use of a key, but it does not provide a secure lock. It was loose, and did not lock from the outside. I was stuck on the elevator, it did not move, and thankfully I was able to have the door open to get off eventually. It was stuck to go down. I reported it, and nothing was posted on the elevator, " under repair." afterward. The building is dirty. It has not been upgraded since it has been built. Please don't waste your money.

      If a condo is not up to par, we can send housekeeping or maintenance out to address the issues, which was done in this situation. All maintenance and housekeeping issues will be passed along to that department to be corrected, including any HOA related issues. All update suggestions will be sent to the appropriate party. At Gulf Shores Rentals, we are always looking to improve our properties to ensure an enjoyable stay for our guests. Thank you! -Gulf Shores Rentals

    Had a great time. Unit was beautifully decorated and clean. I loved seeing the gulf every morning.
    The only drawback was check in. We had to go to one place to pick up keys and another place to get a parking pass ($28? It should be included, and in the pick up packet!)

    The location was great, the unit itself is nice, however, the bathroom wasn’t cleaned the best when we arrived. The facilities outside of the unit was very dirty and run down. I would have felt better if our unit at least had a dead bolt locking system.

    Condo was as pictured and more! Very clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked and located in the perfect ocean view spot. We loved it so much that we extended another day. Management office was easy to work with and answered all of our questions when we reached out. If we could have changed anything, it would have been the mattress on the pull out sofa and the bathroom towels.
    Will definitely stay here again.
