Recent Gulf Shores guest reviews

We loved being right off of the beach. The house was perfectly laid out for our crew and the three bathrooms were perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. The washer and dryer were great to have as well. All of the rooms were so cute and the beds were very comfortable. WiFi was a bit spotty but we were there for the beach so it wasn’t a big deal. Had a small issue when I tried my code to get in but the issue was resolved within 15 minutes. Very happy I chose this location.

This apartment has a wrap around balcony and tall windows that gave an amazing view of the beach, pier, and the gulf shores strip. The furnishings and paintings gave a classy luxury beach look. We had lots of space to cook, a large table to play games, and plenty of places to relax. All of the amenities we needed for a great vacation. Thank you.

Location was great, very clean, spacious condo. We were very happy with it. We loved the short walk to the beach. The pool and hot tub were great. The pool was a little cold, but the kids didn’t seem to mind. Our only complaint is that the people above us had no respect to others in the building and arrived at 1am and had kids running in their condo u til 9am and then the next day it started at 4am. The walls must be really thin.
