We had a great time. A nice, quiet, gated community. The pool great and clean. Easy travel to the beach. Located conveniently next to a target. Communication with host was easy and timely.
Great location, quiet community. Close drive to everything. No microwave and the air mattress did not work but everything else was perfect!! We will be back. Thank you!!
We would come back again. It was clean and comfortable. It’s not a new property but some of the unit has been updated nicely. It was close to where we were visiting family and that was helpful for us. The gated community was a nice plus. And plenty of parking. We didn’t check out the pool or gym. And while we did clean up after ourselves we didn’t have a list of chores to complete for check out. 😀
We had a great stay at the condo. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Community was quiet and pool was enjoyable. A little away from the crowds but close to everything which we really liked!
We enjoyed our week!! The condo is 5-10 min drive to everything in Gulf Shores. We appreciated all the amenities of the property. The condo was a home away from home.

Thought it was closer to the beach. Noisy in the early mornings.
The condo was perfect for our weekend. We were in town for our daughter’s college softball tournament at the Sportsplex. Condo was literally across the street and not far from down town and the beach. We would definitely stay again.
If you’re looking for a quiet, clean, comfortable place to stay in Gulf Shores that is apart from the crowds and the noise, this is your place. Loved it.

Great alternative to a hotel in Gulf Shores
No stairs, fully equipped for a stay near the beach. Really appreciate the owners quick response to my questions, especially since HomeAway had the wrong access code to the lockbox!
Perfect for a couple looking for more space at a good location.
This was our 2nd stay in this condo and the experience has always been exceptional! Safe neighborhood, close to all the attractions! Working with Mrs. Charlotte is always easy and she makes every step just as relaxing as sitting on the beach itself! To sum it up, we will continue to rent this condo during our Gulf Shore visits!
This "condo" was poorly advertised to begin with. Getting to it was a run around. Going inside, the back door was unlocked. It felt damp and smelled musty and damp. There was mold growing on the baseboards. Dirt and dust on the walls and baseboards. Uncleaned coffee machine. Hair in shower. A brown substance smeared on the wall next to the toilet. I would absolutely never recommend this to anybody. When contacting the host, she immediately became combative and threatened to have us escorted off of her property rather than to apologize and rectify the situation. Thank god for photo evidence and screenshots of conversations. VRBO was fantastic and handled the situation accordingly. Great on them.
Great place & very kind, helpful owners! Charlotte & Anthony are top notch!
We have nothing but good things to say about Charlotte's condo we stayed in while we were there. It was clean, great location, kid friendly & with just 5 minutes to the beach! Charlotte was just a phone call away before & during our vacation who also gave me some great ideas of things to do right after we made our reservations. We will always use this property & go through Charlotte for many more vacations to come! I love how close you are to all of the other beaches! We beach hopped a few times! We even went crabbing & fishing with very easy to get & affordable fishing licenses! We loved Gulf Shores, Al! This will be what we call our go to for vacations from now on! Thank Charlotte & Anthony! 💗

Liked: Check-in, location
nice get away
The only thing that was a problem was the smell of mold/mildew
I messaged her about this, my family is allergic and we can smell it a mile away. Responded with the "Maid didn't small anything" The water bag to collect moisture were totally full. She really didn't seem to care to much about the smell.
Other than that is was ok. maybe or maybe not book it again?
Nice location, cute little condo. Our family enjoyed our stay here. There was a miscommunication when we arrived, the check in details said to use the back gate because it says unlocked when we got there the back gate was locked and wasn't able to get in. We wasn't able to reach the host via phone and had to wait for someone else to come through to let us in. Finally later that night I was able to reach the host and get the gate code. Also the pool and hot tube there is great but anyone under 14 years old can't use the hot tube so my kids was a little bummed about that. But it a beautiful condo, only complaint is the miscommunication about the gate and us not being able to get in. Other than that the stay was great.
