Baseball/Beach week

We were in gulf shores for baseball, but mixed in a vacation too. My condo was the more updated one in the building compared to the other baseball families who also rented in this same building. The condo was clean and having an ice machine in the building was really great. The beach was an easy walk & our condo had a perfect view. The reason for the 4 star rating was the size of the condo was much smaller than we expected. The pictures online made it seem like there was more space. The bathrooms are so small, there’s no place for towels other than the side of the vanity sink. There is very little closet space and storage, so our suitcases were in the floor and we were stepping over them all week. The sheets were also like paper, and those are provided by Brett Robison, so guessing the whole building has the same issue. The condos do cost a bit less than others that have more space, so if price a concern, this condo isn’t a bad choice if you need to choose one in this building.

Perfect Getaway

My family and I was very pleased with this property. It was exactly as described and as the pictures show. We had plenty of extra pillows. There was beach chairs and umbrellas in the closet for use which was great because we had to leave ours behind due to lack of extra car space. Overall this was probably the best condo we have ever stayed in from location, cleanliness, the supply of furnishings, view, you name it. We had a group of 7 that included me, my husband, sister, parents and my 5 & 12 year old. It was perfect for our little getaway.

Check on planned construction projects scheduled during your stay. We got pushed out of our first choice by balcony refurbishing. We had to hustle for replacement condo which worked out fine. They did have roof repair going on.

Beautifully, updated condo but......

This Islands Winds East unit was very comfey and homey. The proximity to the beach is awesome. The only issue we had was the awful cat urine smell in the master bedroom. I spoke with someone in the office about it and they said they have worked tirelessly to get to the bottom of it. Personally, I don't feel it's fair to rent a unit with such an issue. I have pets and I understand how odors can become such a thing. I ended up buying a essential oil diffuser which made sleeping in there more tolerable but towards the end of the week I ended up going to the other bedroom that my sister was using. The unit itself is very well appointed.

Perfect!

My family usually vacations in Destin, but I decided on Gulf Shores for my college graduation vacation present! I was so pleasantly surprised that this condo and location exceeded my expectations! It is one of the cleanest condos I’ve ever stayed in, if not the cleanest. It’s decorated so cute and cozy. Just like mentioned in other reviews, the owners go above and beyond to include things that make your vacation easier, like extra coffee, cleaning supplies, toiletries, etc. We fit myself, my boyfriend, and my dad comfortably in this condo. The beds are so comfy, and the balcony overlooking the beach is a HUGE plus. The walk to the beach takes mere minutes and the location to town/places to eat/ things to do is perfect. There is plenty of parking, there’s a pool, grills available, new appliances in the condo.. I could go on and on. If I make it back to Gulf Shores, this is exactly where I plan to stay again.

Great Condo, Great Location

When we arrived at this property the VRBO reviews and pictures were right on the money. We instantly felt right at home. The location couldn't be any better if you want to be close to the main drag. The white sand beach was awesome and not overly crowded. My wife and 2 daughters (2 and 4 years old) had a blast. The full size bunk beds in the second bedroom were great for the kids even though they both shared the bottom bed. The ladder can be removed if you have little ones. All the little things the owners took the time to leave for the renters were over the top. From the k-cups to the extra odds and ends you may possibly forget. Top notch is all I can say! Even though we were there for the beach it was nice to know we had a great place to rest our heads at night. Thanks for taking care of your customers we will definitely be back, and we will recommend this unit to everyone!
