Great stay

My family and I had a wonderful time on our trip. The condo was so nice and had a beautiful view of the lagoon. The communication with the owners was great and they were fast at answering any questions. We loved that the condo was in a quieter and less busy area but not too far from stores or restaurants.

Great Christmas get away

We love staying at Compass Point. The location on the lagoon is quiet and convenient. Getting up in the morning and watching the sunrise with your coffee is an excellent way to start your day. There was plenty of room for our family of four plus our fur baby. We had everything we needed at the condo and couldn’t ask for more.

Relaxing and quiet complex

We enjoyed our Labor Day weekend trip! Communication with the host was prompt and she was quick to fix a few issues for us. The complex is older and on the quiet side of Gulf Shores and that made it so much more enjoyable. We enjoyed our short walks to the beach as well. Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us!

Quiet getaway

My husband and our two dogs stayed here for 10 days. The condo is great! The view is great, The hosts were great, Charity and Leslie. If you are taking dogs, you need to know that you have to walk them off property. If you do not have dogs, it will be perfect.

The corner of Paradise!

The most relaxing stay for me and my family, including two dogs lol! Everything was lovely. The views are spectacular. There is nothing better than sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise and hearing the lapping of the water. So calm and serene. It was exactly what my family needed. Nice little touches with the decor and the pet treats. All bedrooms have balcony access which is nice. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Our Stay

This is a great location if you like staying on the lagoon. The condo was clean and has easy access. The host was great with communication and even left popsicle and drinks in the fridge/freezer. The only negative we had with the place is while the owners unit is pet friendly the campus is not. I would highly recommend this listing but don’t bring your pet.

Gulf Shores First Timers

This was the first time we visited gulf shores and stayed for three weeks. This condo is great and decorated very nicely with comfy beds. Host was very responsive to us. There is everything you need for eating in, relaxing inside or out on the large balconies. Plenty of seating with incredible sunrises and all day views. The beach has incredible white sand and was just what we came for. We appreciated the beach chairs, towels, games, puzzles and books. Very quiet area with little traffic when we were there. Many parks that were pet friendly and tons of places to walk. Close to stores and great places to eat. People are super friendly. We definitely plan to be back.

Rest and Relaxation

This was our second time staying at Compass Point. We enjoyed the spacious condo, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, and the scenic views from the patio. The pool area is great too. We only spent one day at the beach because of the weather. We used the public parking at the beach entrance to load/unload chairs and coolers. I’m happy to see Compass Point is getting a facelift because it’s a great place. We hope to return next year!

Enjoy the journey

Well laid out with a water view from all the bedrooms and living room. We spent our early mornings and evenings on the deck relaxing and enjoying the view. It was quiet with no loud neighbors.well furnished and comfortable. Kitchen had all the necessary things a kitchen needs. The beach is a short 3 minute walk. We had a fantastic time and wish we could have stayed longer. Down side is the outside is under renovation and is not appealing to look at. Shopping and dining are minutes away.
