The owners of this property were incredible: quickly responded, very communicable and helpful with answers to questions and information provided in emails and website about the property and Gulf Shores. The property was accurately described via the information and photos. There were no negative surprises. It was very comfortable with a great view with plenty of room from the large balcony. Any concern about elevator wait was unfounded as the most wait was no more than /-1 minute. It was a great secure property without "legalistic" watchdogs. The property is in a great location near restaurants and shopping and very convenient for driving. We have no negative comments or concerns. I would highly recommend this property.
