Best view in Gulf Shores!
The penthouse condos in San Carlos offer views for miles and miles! Checkin and checkout with Beachball was super-easy, and everyone had a great time. It's not easy finding a property with 4 bedrooms AND 4 bathrooms, but this is it!
Beyond satisfied with this condo. It was so spacious and very convenient. Within walking distance to several restaurants and shops. The kitchen is well stocked as far as utensils, pots, pans, etc. Linen was plentiful. All appliances worked as expected.

Family Vacation
Great condo. Had one maintenance issue which was resolved quickly. We were worried about going from top floor on elevators but there was no time issue at all. Condo was very clean. View was great from balcony. Will be back!
Our stay was fantastic. We especially love the location. It is within walking distance of the Hangout, food, and shopping. The property was large and had plenty of room for five adults and four kids. The only thing I would recommend would be a new dishwasher. We handwashed the dishes the whole week as the dishwasher didn't clean well. Other than that, all was as expected and we will return.
We stayed for a month in January/February. The views were fantastic. I would recommend bringing a pair of binoculars because the condo is 20 floors up. The views from the balcony are stunning. The condo overall was great however, I would recommend replacing the living room furniture. All seating was uncomfortable and hard to get in and out of the couches because they are hide-a-beds. Also, one of the recliners is partially broken as reported by another visitor months ago. Balcony seating was plentiful and comfortable. The buildings elevators and amenities were wonderful.

Beautiful Condo
We had a girls' trip, and this condo was perfect for us. Three of the bedrooms have their own bathroom, and the fourth had a designated bathroom across the hall. This was perfect for the five of us. Our only negative comment is regarding the kitchen. It just wasn't stocked with a good variety of cookware; the Keurig that was in the photos was not there; the garbage disposal didn't work. I called about the Keurig, but it was never supplied. That said, we would definitely like to stay there again. The location is so good, on the beach and near so many restaurants.
Our family came down for a relaxing week and could not have chosen a nicer condo. The check in/out process was very simple and the condition of the unit exceeded expectations. We plan on booking this unit again if it is available for future trips.
Host was welcoming. Amenities need upgrading - beds and couches very uncomfortable.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Having stayed at this property multiple times, it is still a great location. However, the maintenance and responsiveness during this stay, which was with a different property management company than we had encountered previously, was well below expectations. One specific example, the weather was very cold when we stayed and the beds only featured a sheet and a thin quilt. I sent a request asking if they could let us know where we could find extra blankets and over the next week, never heard a response.
We brought our family including grandkids to the beach for a relaxing stay. Some enjoyed the beach, some the pool, and others sitting on the balcony. Everything was clean. We enjoyed local seafood. Grandkids enjoyed the pirates and princess show at the Hangout. An awesome week and the kids are wanting to come back next year.
The condo was beautiful with a large balcony and good high top furniture. The wait for the elevator was never long. Check in was easy, as well as the purchase of parking passes. We needed an extra pass because of the number of cars and families we had. But that was no issue. The only complaint I might have was the mattress was pretty squeaky in 1 of the bedrooms. My son actually slept on the rollout couch because he was afraid the sound of the mattress would wake his kids. Other than that, everything was great. And, of course, the location was perfect.
Overall we had a great stay! So close to everything, we walked many of places! The only complaints we have is that there is no curtains in the living room area doors so if you have someone sleeping on the pull out couches it will be very bright in there. The master bedroom curtains weren’t clipped in many places and let a lot of light into the room as soon as the sun came up, which wasn’t really a big problem but if you have children who are use to the dark sleeping with you it could be. The shower in the master has little to no water pressure at all, there’s no way to really feel clean using that shower unfortunately especially if you are a woman washing your hair. Many times we left the property the door did not lock, make sure when you leave try to open the door and ensure it locks. Deadbolt does not work on door but thankfully it does have a chain lock at the top of the door that was just a safety concern for us having small children. Sliding doors have locks at the top out of reach of children and was a great peace of mind with having children. One of the guest bathroom had mold on the shower curtain per one of our family members. Overall we had a great stay and was a great choice in holding a family.
