We have stayed at Gulf Shores Plantation many times. We tried the beach house this time and loved it! We cant wait to rebook. This side of the complex was more quiet and relaxing! Jade was an exelent communicator and answered all my questions quickly. There was everything we needed in the unit blocks and books for the little one and games for the older ones. One pool was steps away with another one close by and beach just a few min walk away. Everyone in the group has decided this is our new beach vacations spot.
