We loved our stay. Host was super attentive, we loved waking up to the ocean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. We found a bug in the bathroom upon arrival but other than that it was great and we had no problems.

The stay was great. We arrived early before check in. One call and we was quickly allowed to go ahead to our room. Loved that ! The only things I seen was maybe fix some of the furniture. The coffee table literally is separated and coming apart. Also maybe update the dryer. It was not working when we arrived, but the management was swift to fix it. The repair man did advise it was very old.

Clean, good location

Good location, right on the water. Wish there were more rinse off stations coming off the beach. Would possibly stay there again, we just like to try out other places. We did have a little deal with a couple maintenance workers but got it worked out.

Great location and place was clean and comfortable. Beach is amazing. 1201 could use some updates as the TV is not HD and the master bed frame is creaky. Still a 4 star rating.

Wow!!

This was our first time in Alabama and the condo was amazing!! We felt comfortable from the moment we arrived to the time we left! The whims area is absolutely beautiful!!!!If I had any feedback- it would be that the condo needs new pillows for the beds. They were pretty bad. And it would be amazing if the condo came with a few beach chairs!!

Just what we were looking for. Laid back right on the beach. Close to all the restaurant's. We even saw dolphines from our balcony. We would recommend the dolphin eco tour over the southern rose dolphin cruise. That was a bust

Great place to stay!

The property was exactly as advertised. Great location for beach use! This was an end unit so the balcony had extra space and you could see the view to the front of property and out to the beach. I highly recommend! Bring a few extra trash bags, toilet paper rolls and a roll of paper towels.
