Nice spot for couples getaway

The location is really nicely convenient to the Hangout and main drag but far enough away to be quiet. The layout is nice but needs a few updates to be top notch.

Gulf Shores Getaway

Cozy low-key getaway for senior couple with beautiful views of beach and ocean. Short drive to restaurants, shopping, and Gulf Shores Beach. This unit could use a little freshening up, but it was clean and comfortable for us.

Comfy & cozy

My husband & I just wanted a relaxing lazy get-away and we got what we needed. The balcony was great to be able to sit out on no matter what the weather was. There is no washer/dryer or dish washer which was fine since we ate out and didn't want the extra work this trip. The only thing we used the kitchen for was our morning coffee. :p

Don't recommend 1B Gulf Tower

The room wasn't clean. The mattresses were horrible. There was a pillow with a huge blood strain. The tubs wouldn't drain. The sliding glass door wouldn't stay closed. Half the electrical outlets didn't work.

Overall great stay 7/27-7/30

Overall had a great vacation. There are some pros and cons to this unit. Cons- The beach in front of property was slightly on a hill and wasn’t wide at all. I walked a good distance down the beach in both directions and it was the same. Not sure if that’s typical for gulfshores as this was my first time staying. We typically go to FL but I’ve never experienced such a small beach. There aren’t really any pictures of the beach area in front of the unit online so I wished there would have been. There were missing ceiling tiles in the bathroom… didn’t affect our experience but for the price I would’ve liked it to have been mentioned prior to booking. Kind of a shock to just walk in and see. Extra blankets in a linen closet were all rolled up instead of folded.. made us wonder if they were “clean” because we already knew people had just Checked out the same day we were checking in. No towels can hang from balcony. We were only given 3 wash cloths for 2 adults to use for 3 nights. I can “make do” with reusing towels to dry off on but not having a clean washcloth per person per night or the ability to request more is a bit much considering the price point. Now to the pros. The unit and property grounds was clean and well kept. Parking was good. I’m sure that’s because they limit you on your vehicles per unit but that’s a good thing in my opinion. Location was perfect. Loved the beachside pool. Balcony had plenty of seating and a nice table. Bed was comfy.

Vacation

Our first time at Gulf Shores and we were not aware of them renovating our condo. We were told it was ready for us. Exposed wires in hallway and in our bathroom, elevators were being worked. Most all outlets were useless because the plug ins wouldn’t stay plugged in very loose. Bed was falling apart and some of the light switches didn’t work properly. Overall the location was nice, right on the beach, beautiful view from our room balcony, had a nice pool, wasn’t very far from shops and restaurants.

Loved it for senior adults

As elder adult it was great so convenient to pool, water, beach, elevator and car parking. Would love to go again when weather is warmer. As pool water was cold and condo only had air conditioning no heat. Condo perfect for us!!!!!!
