Excellent vacation, great condo. Beautiful view. Clean condo. Excellent location. Beach view. Close to everything. We will definitely return. No complaints at all. Parking was easy and right out front. Air conditioner worked perfectly.
Loved the location and view from our room however we had multiple issues with items in the condo. Pantry door was completely broke, washer sounded like it was going to walk out of condo, the TV service was absolutely horrible. I realize we are on vacation to watch tv However when I want it I should not have to figure out why it's not working. Parking was exceptional for accessing the elevators. Didn't agree with them offering a huge discount at the end of stay for an extra day, yet when we needed it was the day before our rental stated and they wouldn't budge. Major pain in the A??...... otherwise condo was SO/SO would not rent again at this property!
This is our 2nd time in this condo and it is great. 3 Bedroom 3 bath, fully updated! Very spacious! Kitchen is stocked with plenty of utensils and cookware along with dinnerware. Has a rolling beach cart, chairs, cooler and umbrellas for use. Awesome view. Beds are comfortable
The Penthouse view can't be beat! Cleanliness was acceptable but before you rent it, make sure they have updated a few things, like the beds, they were horrible, lumpy, the springs were worn...not recommended for sleeping on, the floor is just as good. The furniture....what can I say, looks good, but worn out!, smells like B.O. and very uncomfortable.....the patio furniture needs replaced, rusting and falling apart. It was worth pretty much half of what we paid for it! The curling fan in the living room didn't work as well, and the air conditioning to the room vents were closed off, if you want it cool, you had to keep the doors open. For the money, I'd look somewhere else.
My daughters and I booked a last minute trip to Gulf Shores, so last minute we booked the day we left! Booked condo 1408 at San Carlos and all I can say is WOW. This is by far the most beautiful condo I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in more than a few over my years. The decor is beautiful, the floor to ceiling windows leading out on the balcony make for an amazing view. The beds were so comfortable you couldn't help but get a good nights rest. The bathroom is big enough to live in. All I can say is it was breath taking. If the water were prettier, I would come to this condo more often since I was so impressed. Close enough to walk to eating and shopping. Not sure what other condos here look like but this one was superb! The complex had buggies to help you bring all your stuff up and down when arriving and leaving.
I originally booked a two bedroom, but it was sold before our vacation and we were upgraded to a three bedroom. This is the best condo we've ever stayed at. Great location within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Great layout! Great decor! The condo had everything we needed plus some! It was clean and comfortable as well as were the condo grounds. There is a pool, work out room and dry sauna. There is also a conference room with a kitchen for parties and such. I personally seen security every day we were there. There are 3 elevators and they are fast, we never waited more than a minute for an elevator. They also supply shopping carts to help move your luggage to and from your car. On the 3rd floor is a realty office and service desk. The staff is friendly and helpful. The boardwalk to the beach is in great condition and they have a multiple hose station to rinse off at before going back to your condo or to the pool. The pool area had plenty of seating. On the beach, there was a chair and umbrella rental service. The "chair guy" was there early everyday, honest, helpful and friendly. He was always walking around asking if you needed your umbrella adjusted! We were in unit 405, it was inside the elevator foyer which was a perfect location. We did not get wet in the rain or cold on the cooler days going to or from our condo. And it was conveniently right in front of the elevators (don't worry, you could not hear them from inside the condo even in the front bedrooms) The 3 bedroom/3 full bathroom condo had a great layout. It was big, there were king beds in all 3 bedrooms. The condo was stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our vacation including books, movies and games for those not so nice weather days. The balcony is huge! The fridge has an ice maker. There is laundry in the unit. The only thing they didn't have in there was a hair blow dryer. There is parking in front of the building, a 2 deck parking garage and a big parking lot across the street for RV's, trailers and overflow. I would definitely stay in this unit again!! We booked through Kaiser Realty. We had to check in at their office, but it was literally right down the street. They communicated with me all week especially when there was bad weather. They were there 24/7 if I had any questions or concerns. I would book through them again. Booking, check-in and check-out was a breeze! About Gulf Shores...There is a nice outlet mall less than 10 miles away (a straight drive on 59). If you go to Walmart, I would drive a couple miles farther to the one in Orange Beach rather than the one in Gulf Shores. There are also many grocery stores near by. Many, many shopping places and restaurants!
The condominium is well maintained. Zero entry pool, great for little ones, no hot tub. Sauna(sow-naw) and workout room. Our unit, 605, was beautifully decorated, comfortable beds, great gulf view and very clean. Lots of security during spring break. A great owner to deal with.
Absolutely perfect. Great location, easy access to beach. Big balcony and super clean rooms. Would recommend to anyone. Pool area is nice but has limited space around it, but since we are beach people this didn't matter to us.
Not clean. Had to buy cleaning products and clean toilets and showers. Black mold growing in bathroom grout, potatoes chips still under couch, hair balls, and someone's cutoff jeans under the bed. They should have paid us for maintenance. The bedroom carpets were filthy. The sheets had been changed, but the bedspreads were stained and gross. Last minute Labor Day booking, but for $1,600 for 3 days it was ridiculous. Parking was nonexistent, not enough spaces. Worst rental I've experienced. Location was good. Need to fire cleaning people.
The room was good size, there were six adults. We had three bedroom and three bath. The pool was large, the only draw back there was not enough room for loungers to sit around the pool, just chairs. The location is great, places to eat are in walking distance. We have a great time.
