Room is exactly as listed! This was our second year staying in this room & it was just as nice this time as last year. We love that the host has thought of everything from a step ladder (that made loading & unloading the top of our vehicle easier) to a beach wagon & coolers. She is always available if we have any questions about our stay. We LOVE staying here & will again in the future!

Loved our week here! Really appreciated having the beach lounge chairs and umbrella. So nice to not have to pack ice chests, beach chairs or toys either. The condo had everything we needed including small fans for white noise to sleep and every type of kitchen utensil we needed. Marlene was amazing communicating with us and providing instructions to ensure our stay was perfect. The condo was very clean and decorated so cute! There were books to borrow, games to play, and plenty of baskets/shelving to organize our supplies for the week. Thank you!

Great stay in Fort Morgan

4 adults and a toddler stayed the week of the 4th. The condo was great for what we needed. The only negative was 2 of the 3 washers on the 1st floor didn’t spin the water out when you used them leaving some extra expense in trying to get things dry. We figure out to use the ones on the 3rd floor and everything was fine. Make sure you are ok with a drive into town. It was 18 minutes from Gulf Shores Parkway to the condo.

Not to mention the extras that were included like the key cards to the indoor pool & saunas and the set of lounge chairs & umbrella. Plus all the beach items personally owned that the owners kindly let you borrow. All the games came in handy when the storms rained us out. Thank you, we had a great vacation!

Very Accurate Listing

We loved staying here for our fall break vacation! Everything was as listed on the site…pictures are exactly what the condo looked liked. We enjoyed all the extras that the owner provided. This owner has thought of everything from beach necessities (like a wagon & cooler) to home necessities (like a laundry hamper & fan). It was so nice having access to these types of things during our stay. She also had a small stool to use around the condo & a three-step small ladder that we were able to use to get our luggage on top of our vehicle. We loved being on vacation, but still feeling like we were home too. We hope to stay again in the future.

First ever condo stay, won’t be our last!

As this was our first time ever staying in a condo at Gulf Shores (previously rented beach houses with large groups), we weren’t sure what to expect. After staying here, we realized our angst was for nothing as we had THE BEST time. The condo itself was gorgeous, incredibly clean, and such close proximity to the pools and ocean. We really appreciated all the “extras” Marlene and her husband included (e.g. chair rentals at the beach, beach cart, coolers, puzzles/games etc.) as we used all of these items daily. Not having to pack these items made it that much easier for us to relax/unwind. The indoor pool pass came in handy during the one day it did rain and the first floor location and proximity to the laundry area was fabulous. Marlene was so great with her level of communication, we had one minor issue with the dishwasher which was resolved the same day. We truly enjoyed our stay here and for sure plan to be back!
