Love!!!

This condo was everything we thought it would be. Our favorite part about it was the ocean view from the balcony. It was very clean. You could walk to beach shops, restaurants, and of course—to the beach! There was a restaurant right on the beach by the condo (Sea and Suds) where we enjoyed lunch a few times and cocktails! Hope to be back sooner than later!

Gulf Shores Beachball

Awesome location, nice condo. The bed was not good. Appears to be an old bed with a worn out topper. Otherwise, the condo was nice.

Beach front, convenient location

Check-in and out is specific, but advertised as such. No frills- like no beach towels or extra toilet paper. No consumable goods such a garbage bags, baggies, salt/ pepper, etc. They do tell you this ahead of time as well. Quick walk (about 0.5-0.7 miles) to several restaurants. Worked for our group of 6. Pull out was comfortable enough for kids.

Great condo, great views, clean.

Everything was perfect. Only thing is I wish I knew when you enter door code, lift door handle UP! Lol! I wouldn't have had to bother the nice customer service lady! Condo had everything we needed! Perfect location. Very clean and comfy bed! Little groceries across the street. Restaurant on site. I lost an item somewhere and they called me personally and sent an office personal over to look for me! Very nice people to work with! Will definitely use Beach Ball again! My guests would have liked to had a gym onsite the Boardwalk. But not a deal breaker for us! Lovely property.

Missing the specifics

Good— location, beach access, pool, comfortable beds, clean and quiet hours after 10 pm, nice updated kitchen with dishwasher and washer and dryer for clothes was great, most things within walking distance Bad—got to place at 8-9 pm tried to get in with code, didn’t work so called office number but no answer, called the emergency number but no answer, left messages got called back but had no idea how long was gonna take. Simple thing left out in instructions for check in like needing to lift handle up after typing in code instead of trying to push down on handle would have made a difference . Review said room was on the second floor but it’s on sixth floor. Parking tags were left for two cars but there isn’t enough parking in lot for one car so have to park across the busy street.
