The BEST!

We really enjoyed this place! It’s by far the best place we’ve stayed while vacationing in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area! We stayed during the 4th of July. The view of the fireworks were breath taking. Very private and BIG balcony. Walking distance to restaurants and gift shops! I highly recommend this place! We hope to stay here again next year!

Superb!

Talk about a view! We really enjoyed our time at this property. Everything was clean and communication from property management was great. Our children had plenty of space and nap times for our toddler didn’t leave anyone out; sitting on the balcony made it easy to enjoy the beach! We are thankful we were able to stay here and would do so again!

Amazing property- highly recommend

Very clean! This property exceeded our expectations! There were 9 of us and plenty of room for our large group. The photo's on the listing arent updated, and thats a shame because it was even better in person with a large sectional that was so comfortable and beautiful patio furniture. It being a corner condo was awesome, and made the balcony view awesome. I will say check in time was rough, so if you wait 1-2 hours after check in time it might be better. It was very packed, no where to park, and when you do find parking (mainly the unloading 30 min spots) people park behind you and block you in. This happened to multiple people. And you'll be waiting for the elevators for 15 min or longer. Other than that, the rest of the time was amazing. Walking distance to surf shops, The Hangout (which is a must) and even if we drove due to the heat there was ice cream shops, etc all within a couple minutes drive. When we go again we will definitely be booking this condo.

Wonderful view!

It's always nice to go to a rental and things to go as planned. This rental has a spectacular view. Very clean. Kitchen was well stocked, king beds were comfy. The only negative thing I i have to say is the bottom bunk bed was not a good mattress. Hopefully they will change this. But overall we loved it! Can't wait to stay again!
