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!

Great Location

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.

Fantastic Location

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.
