Gulf-front condo w/ private balcony & shared pool, hot tub, gym & sauna!
Take in a magnificent scene of the Gulf of Mexico and the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores at The Colonnades 1803, a beachfront retreat that will bring comfort ease to your next escape on the Alabama Gulf Coast. Admire the colors of the sunrise on your private balcony, retreat each evening to a master suite with a jetted bathtub, and spend your days enjoying on-site community amenities that include a pool, a sundeck, a hot tub, a fitness center, and a sauna.
What's nearby: The Colonnades is beautifully located right on the white sand beach in Gulf Shores, less than a mile from the center of town.

The serene expanse of Gulf State Park - where you can kayak, fish, and take long walks on nature trails - is immediately east, the Craft Farms Golf Club is less than six miles north, and the shops and entertainment of The Wharf are seven miles northeast.

The room was very spacious, plenty of room for my family.

We stayed at his property on the 18th floor for two weeks. Location is excellent however the building and apartment are still recovering from the hurricane almost a year ago. One of the two elevators in the building is inoperable and there are no plans to repair it before replacing in approximately five months. This makes waiting for an elevator excruciatingly long. The apartment itself is spacious and well appointed. There are however a couple of places that show that it is still being repaired from the storm. We had water leaking from the ceiling in one area and a strange odor in another area. The crowds in the city were overwhelming. 1.5 to 2 hour weights for dinner establishments were common. It was nice to have a well equipped kitchen to fend for ourselves. A point of note is that the local representative for Vacasa was Excellent and her response to any issue that we had. From a broken coffee maker to water dripping from the ceiling, she was very attentive and responded quickly.

My kids are now adults and the family has expanded. Great access to Gulf Shores Park and their trails and liked being at a quieter end of the beach. 18th floor was a bit high, but the working elevator was pretty quick. The area has recovered quickly from Hurricane Sally.

Check in and out was easy! The beds and furniture were comfortable and clean! Great views and short walk to the beach!

Traveled with 4 generations!! The 4 bedroom/4 bath is perfect. The bedroom doors are heavy, no shared walls.... very private. The kitchen is adequately stocked with glasses, cookware, dishes and utensils. We enjoyed the ice maker and bar.....separate from the kitchen. The view is simply spectacular!!
We did have issues initially (housekeeping, dryer was broken) but Vacasa was wonderful, going above and beyond to take care of our concerns. We would definitely recommend this space!!!!

We had the most amazing time here! We enjoyed the beautiful view each morning and the place was so clean. We will 100% be back!

We really enjoyed this condo. It was nicely equipped, and clean on arrival — the floors were still wet from getting mopped! The beach wasn’t crowded, despite a large condo next door. I would highly recommend this unit, and hope it’s available next year as well!

Beautiful views. Plenty of room. All 8 of us were pleased with the entire condo. The beds were comfortable. The condo was very clean and inviting. Thanks for a wonderful stay. Would definitely stay at the Colonades again.

The balcony was amazing! We all had a fantastic time. This was our first time to gulf shores and I’m sure we’ll be back!
Valentina S.May 2020
Great place. Beautiful views. And most importantly clean!
Cheryl F.Jan 2020
We loved this condo! It was clean, quiet and right on the beach. The deck had an awesome view up and down the beach and there was plenty of seating. The indoor pool and hot tub were basic but the water was warm. We were not provided parking passes and the agent was very responsive when we called. Someone dropped the passes off within an hour. We also had an issue with the sliding door from the master not working and they came right over to check it out. Unfortunately it wasn’t fixed until the last day. Beach condos we have rented at other locations have included some beach items such as towels, chairs, umbrellas, coolers but none were provided here. Even so, we would definitely rent here again.

The kitchen was not well stocked. No serving bowls so served out of pans Could not adjust flow of water in shower. Everything else was perfect

Great living space. Nice pool and easy access to beach!

We have used both Kaiser and Meyer over the years in the Gulf Shores area and Kaiser units are cleaner and always go over and beyond making our check in and checkout most efficient. I will always refer my friends to Kaiser because they seem to care about their customers. Thankyou
