This was our first time to the Gulf Shores, and I’m glad we chose this condo. Our host was wonderful. Very welcoming. Everything in the condo was set up perfectly like a five star hotel. I wish the weather had been warmer, but everyone is experiencing this cold front. At least we had a beautiful Gulf view to enjoy from the balcony.

The balcony view and furniture are fantastic. We sat outside looking over the gulf for hours. The condo is very well appointed and very clean. The complex has everything you may need. Pool, gym, sauna, game room and is close to restaurants. We will be staying here often.

Great Vacation

Our first time to Gulf Shores was absolutely amazing. The condo was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Tana, our host was easy to reach and everything was exactly as she had said.The weather was perfect, we had delicious food especially at the FloraBama yacht club. We really enjoyed everything about Gulf Shores and will vacation here again. The only negative thing was, I got stung by a jellyfish. Ouch

Fantastic Condo on the Beach!

We had such a wonderful stay at this condo! It started with great communication from Tana the owner who even sent us a list of her personal recommendations for the area. The condo itself was beautiful and relaxing. Super clean, beach vibe decor, comfy beds with great bedding, great bathrooms with plenty of thick, fluffy towels, a great kitchen with all the dishes & utensils you’ll need! The good sized balcony offers great gulf/beach views and great sunrise and sunset views! Just steps to the beach! Both indoor and outdoor pools were heated, as is the hot tub. So inviting on slightly chillier days. The condo is located in the midst of shops, restaurants, and the state park. Even walking distance from a few places. We look forward to a return visit. Thanks Tana for providing a great place to stay!

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed herself. Got her 20000 steps in every day. I developed bronchitis and was pretty much housebound. Weather chilly but you can’t control that.

First time to Gulf Shores

Gulf shores is so much different than most beachfront areas we’ve visited. Luckily we had a car, because there aren’t any beach bars/restaurants in walking distance. With that said, we were able to stock up at the Publix and Walmart and rarely needed to leave this beautiful property. We didn’t need to purchase any beach toys either, as there’s an area by the storage that visitors leave theirs behind. We loved the balcony. We had breakfast and lunch out there and spotted dolphins daily. This condo is an absolutely perfect home away from home.
