Construction going on ( did not have notice) router never reset for Wi-Fi, and many plugs did not work. Awkward to enter condo with countertop only a foot from the door. Guests who slept in living room on pull out couch had no curtains or blinds on balcony window/ doors. Otherwise we had a wonderful time being right on the ocean.

We really loved the location of this stay! It was a very walkable area downtown Gulf Shores. Everything we needed was right there. Check in and out was VERY smooth! Zero complaints or issues. The pool area was very nice for not being very big. It was easy to transition from the beach to the pool throughout the day because of how close it was to the beach. With young children who easily get bored, that was super handy! We walked down the beach both ways and we agreed the stretch of beach in front of this stay seemed to be much less crowded. The only negative to us was the smell being that it’s an old building. After a few days of the air being turned down it wasn’t nearly as noticeable. Management was very easy to contact and quick to return a response. We would definitely stay with Celebrity Vacations again!

Beautiful location

When we arrived to the rental we noticed a few minor things. The fitted sheet on the bed in the master bedroom was torn on the corner, there were a few stains on the sheets & towels, & the toilet in one of the bathrooms wasn’t clean properly. Overall, it was an easy booking, didn’t have to contact the property manager, the security guard on the premises was very helpful upon arriving, the stay was great, beautiful view, & we enjoyed our time.

Over all a pleasant stay

Other than the master bedroom mattress being awful and uncomfortable, most of the electrical outlets not working, and the tv in the 2nd room not working our stay was pleasant. The condo served it purpose and was very clean. The check in and check out was super easy. But if you have a special occasion (per listed on the email) you may want to remind them about it the week before you come. The old man security guard gave me and my husband weird creepy stalker vibes especially around my two teenage daughters.

Overall, great

The only thing that I would comment on is the elevator issues and spots of unpainted and vent/fan not working in the bathrooms. As well as the buildings electrical issues... Outside of that, it was great for what we needed. A clean place to lay our head while we explored the beaches and the city.

Extended Vacation

Was already at the beach for the week of 4th July and was supposed to head home on Friday the 7th, but I was having such a great time with my three kids which are not kids anymore 18-24, I decided to try to find a place for the weekend and this was it. We enjoyed staying at Island Shores and the host was awesome, everything was just great for us, and was in walking distance of most of the places we wanted to go also. It was great! Will be back again.

Very good place

Was very happy with our stay. A little crowded getting into the room. Utensils were dirty and hair in the utensil organizer. Clothes left from previous stayers. Couple of outlets didn't have outlet covers. I have a 2 yr old. Other than that stay was fine for our days.
