Would definitely book this condo again.
Janet M.Oct 2021
Great accommodations, view, and location. This was my first
time to Gulf Shores and San Carlos helped to make it a wonderful vacation. It was very easy to communicate by text and email--scheduling, paying, confirming and arriving. Keycode on door made it a contactless arrangement, and we didn't have to keep up with keys! Everything in the room was great. Thank you for a great time!! I will be back!!
Maureen S.Oct 2021
The location is perfect and the condo is a great size. The door to balcony very hard to open. Beds and den furniture very worn out and uncomfortable.
Debbie S.Aug 2021
Would have been a great vacation except for a hurricane. Note to self: don't go to the beach after July.
Bob E.Aug 2021
The only good experience were the beaches and the unit had hot water. Other than that, the unit was filthy, very old decor and beds were very uncomfortable.
Manager response:
Thank you for your review, Bob. We apologize for the disappointment in our home. We have passed your comments along to the local manager and housekeeping team and we have been informed that the home's floors were steam mopped just prior to your arrival. We are also very sorry if there was any misunderstanding regarding the decor of our home. We make every effort to present clear, accurate descriptions of our homes in order for guests to make informed decisions on their rental choices. We encourage guests to reach out with any questions or concerns prior to booking, as we are happy to help.
Bradley R.Aug 2021
Our room had a great view of the water, access to the beach was easy and the staff had our chairs and umbrellas early every day. The location was within a few blocks of restaurants and shops and other activities that we wanted to do. I would recommend this place to everyone and we will be back.
RICHARD V.Jul 2021
This unit was perfect for our family trip. The rooms were a great size and the balcony allowed us to wake up with a perfect view or a late night relaxation session with the waves crashing!
Charlene C.May 2021
we loved everything about the condo it was beautiful inside very spacious very clean and quiet we will definitely be staying again on our next beach trip
Tammy J.May 2021
I have stayed in several different units in this complex and this one is by far the worst. We stayed in this particular unit 4 years ago and the things that were wrong with it then still have not been fixed. The carpet is disgusting and the furniture and comforters have a really bad smell which resonates throughout the unit. The owner needs to invest some money back into the unit. I would not recommend this particular unit at all however the other units in this complex that I have stayed in have been very nice.
Manager response:
Hi Tammy,Thank you for staying with us! We are so glad you had a great time! We take guest feedback seriously, and have forwarded this information to the local staff so they can review and update the home as needed for future guests. We will be sure to follow up with the appropriate parties regarding your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!
Tonya S.May 2021
The Condo was super nice and felt like a home. We listened to the waves crashing while we slept. Very comforable!
Terry t.Feb 2021
Amazing view from balcony and Vacasa was great with communication!!🤗
Tiaquica R.Feb 2021
I Loved The View as well as the jet tubs , we couldn't get the wifi to work but other than that everything was spectacular 😀 and extraordinary
Manager response:
Hi, Tiaquica! We are delighted to read you enjoyed your stay with us. The HOA is changing the internet and cable providers so we should have better service in place by March 1, 2021. Thank you!
Keith M.Jan 2021
Came down to gulf shores to do some fishing. Unfortunately the weather was on the uncooperative side. However this condo completely made up for it. I was contacted by vacasa before and during our trip to make sure we had every we needed. Great people. They condo and staff really made this a great trip under the circumstances.
Brian M.Aug 2020
First, Vacasa was easy to communicate with. We’ve stayed in GS several times before and this was by far the best experience we’ve had. This particular condo was well furnished and the location couldn’t be better. We had superb access to the cleanest beach around and the pool was immaculate. I will be staying here again for sure!
Elise B.Jul 2020
Very comfortable and well appointed condo...the beds were comfortable. Would stay here again.
jerry d.Jul 2020
This condo needs some upkeep In a bad way, tile flooring has one tile with a crack and chipped , another tile piece has one piece loose and another missing, outside table has a crack, front door does not have a inside lock, ceiling fan in guest bedroom works sometimes and don’t work other times, called and got repair man out and he says nothings wrong with it and after he left, it continued doing the same thing, Also counter top has markings on it, we were able to remove one, also there is a stain that needs cleaning on guest bedroom door
Manager response:
Hi, Jerry! We are scheduling a deep clean and working with the owner to fix and update things around the home. We have already addressed the tile. Thank you!
Robert T.Aug 2019
The San Carlos is very nice.
Beth T.Oct 2018
Beds were too high.
Manager response:
We're very sorry for the inconvenience during your stay. This issue occurred under a previous management company. Our local teams are working with that company to learn from feedback and fix any issues. We just started managing this unit and would love for you to try staying with Vacasa in the future to experience our world class service.
GREGORY M.Sep 2017

SHIRLEY D.Jul 2017
The property was awesome! Walking distance to everything.
DAVID M J.Jul 2017
The view was nice and the condo was very comfortable. However, it appeared that the condo has not been updated in 20 years. The parking was terrible. We are over 60 years old and had to park across the street and dodge the traffic after dark each night as we arrived back from dinner.

TAMMY J.Jun 2017
The condo was very nice and overall very clean however the carpet in the bedrooms needs to be cleaned or replaced. There also needs to be blinds or a better window covering in the first bedroom. The curtain does not cover the entire window so therefore you can change clothes in there because there is a walkway outside the window. There is also an outlet in the master bathroom that doesn't work. Other than these things the room was great!
