We hadn't been back to the beach in 8 years and in Gulf Shores since 2010. You could WALK to literally any of the famous places you hear about, beach stores, etc. The first floor unit was incredibly conveninent, HOWEVER, do want to tell you the view from your balcony is 80% sand dunes. That was really my only regret. Wish I had a higher level unit to enjoy the view on the balcony.

Great place. Only problem I had was the washer and dryer. Listing made it sound like it was in the condo. Coin machine didn’t work, the credit card part wouldn’t work. Bring your own quarters! Loved the readily available ice( pay with card)

Beach Trip 2024

Everything was nice and exactly how it was described. Another water hose at the beach access would be nice as well as rinsed off routinely. The walkways stayed sandy all the time with a thick layer of sand. Overall great location and spot. Will definitely try to stay there again.

Week experience

We enjoyed every second of the week even though weather was iffy at times... we made the most of it! Nothing id really change pr that can be really changed. We would have liked to grill out because we arent much into sharing a grill but we made it to several nearby restaurants. Maybe a warmer pool like some other hotel/condos. The access to the beach and use of the washer/dryer was great! The laundry basket needs updated lol but we made it work when we had to. Some of the outlets didnt work it seemed. The beds were great as the shower and other amenities. The view we had was great and overall we enjoyed Island Shores!

The condo was right on the beach which was exactly what we wanted. We had a few problems that were quickly handled by the property owners. They immediately responded when we had questions. The condo was well furnished and nicely decorated. The one downfall was that we had a first floor condo so our view of the beach was mostly blocked by the big sand dunes. Other than that. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

Just unit problems

No power in front and dining room outlets. No tv in that room for two days. Breaker tripped had to have electrician fix it. Had a huge fan an dehumidifier and the drain hose going into bathroom so we couldn’t close the door probably open a half inch. The unit was nice. I had a good time in gulf shores…..just Unit problems made it pretty uncomfortable for three days

Gulf Shores Vacation

Loves the room, there were items in every door and drawer and behind things that we could use on the beach or the pool. It was homey and comfortable, nice decorations. Soft blankets. Just wish the washer and dryer was in each room and there were some outside facility to use restroom or wash up.

Spring Break Stay

The couch and 2 chairs were very dirty we didn't even sit in the chairs because they were so dirty and it is false advertising on the condo having a washer and dryer because it did not have it's own. They were in a room where you enter the beach plus you had to pay foe both. Such an inconvenience for as much as you pay to stay here.

Great Girls Trip

We enjoyed the condo for our 3 night girl’s trip, it was just what we needed. The condo was very clean & being on the 1st floor made it very convenient. Although we never used the pool, it’s fairly small & was usually crowded, it is located in the parking lot area directly across from the condo. Kitchen was well stocked but we did not do any cooking. Beds were very comfortable! We will definitely consider staying there again!
