Great location, great price

We had a wonderful stay here! Perfect location, short walk to the beach and lagoon and just a 6-10 minute drive to amazing spots to eat. The beds were comfy and the living room couch was big and relaxing for our family of five. Also loved being able to see the pool from our balcony. You won’t regret picking here to stay with your family.

Sea oats condo

Condo and owner were great and was easy to communicate with owner. Vrbo should have left some washing detergent to wash towels(luckily we had a few extra) and some extra toilet paper and and extra roll of paper towels. But overall was a wonderful experience that we really enjoyed.

Fabulous condo and location!

Our family of 4 really enjoyed this condo as it was clean, had an easy check in/check out method, was located on the first floor of the bldg (just two short stairs to get to), has two parking spots (although we only needed one, and it was nice to park under bldg in shade), the beds were super comfortable with several pillows, had new kitchen appliances and a large couch. The view overlooking the large pool ( which was 3ft to 8ft in depth) and pier on the lagoon (both just steps from the condo) was really nice as well. The condominium had an overall family-friendly atmosphere, no loud music/neighbors. There are several grills located conveniently close by overlooking the lagoon (under a covered patio). The walk across the street to the beach via the private entrance took only about 3 mins and we loved having the rinse stations (located at the entrance) to use on our way back to the condo. Also had a rinse station right by our condo entrance. Very pleased with our stay, it was the best we've ever used and we go every year to Gulf Shores so we will definitely be back to this specific condo. Lastly, the owner was very professional, pleasant and helpful so that added a nice personal touch to the visit.

Quiet and convenient

This complex was perfect for all our needs. The condo was nice, clean, and perfect for our family. You have assigned parking with nice large spaces so there is no chance of getting your car dinged. There was a nice large outside closet to store any of your beach items plus the owners had pretty much anything you may have forgotten for the beach in that closet. The walk across the street to the beach was very easy and the traffic stayed pretty light. There are also two new large docks if you enjoy fishing which we do plus at night they have sufficient lighting. Todd, the condo owner, was the most considerate and called us the day after we booked to confirm with us and he called again as we were in Mobile to give us a better route to drive. Thank you for all your help and we would definitely love to stay in your condo again on our next vacation 😊

The perfect beach retreat

We had an incredible stay at this condo. Todd goes above and beyond to make sure his guests have an exceptional time. The beds are all super comfy, the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen and a closet full of every beach accessory you could need. The location is perfect: a very quick walk to beach, the porch overlooking the pool and a very short drive to everything in Gulf Shores. We had children from 18 to 5 years old and everybody agreed this is the best condo we’ve ever stayed in. We will definitely be back!

Amazing place and close to the beach!!

The pictures didn’t do the condo justice!! It was an amazing condo with a pool right outside the door. The beach was just a walk across the street and the beach was so clean! Loved being able to do laundry and come home with clean clothes! Todd called and spoke with me a couple weeks before our trip and went over details of the condo and the area. He also sent an email with the information we would need for our stay!! We are already looking forward to going back next year!!

Great condo in a great location and even better owners!

Todd was super responsive and even called before our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We were boating and he offered very helpful information about Little Lagoon and the pass. The condo is steps from the beach and a quick ride to local eateries. Very quiet and peaceful location. If you want a great place to stay with helpful, caring owners, this is the place for you!
