Gorgeous view!!!

Really enjoyed our stay. The room itself is really large, nice kitchen with plenty of supplies. Lots of towels and extra linens and pillows. Parking was tough, the spaces are hard to navigate. Never was able to get a second parking pass, so half of our group had to park across the street. The pools are very well kept. Did not check out the sauna. A great place to stay overall

Okay, but not great

The location and layout of this property is great. Being able to walk to the beach was amazing. However, many things were lacking. The furniture and decor are quite dated. The rug in the living room had many stains, as did the reclining chair and ottoman. Many light bulbs were burned out in the fixtures, and we had to buy batteries to replace dead ones in several remotes. Two plugs in the kitchen didn't work, and none of the breakers were tripped. The TV in the guest room is an old-school tube TV, which I haven't seen anywhere in probably 15 years. There is a bunk in the 3rd bedroom which is a cool idea, however, it looks sketchily built and honestly wouldn't trust two people sleeping up there. There were also several issues with the building itself. One of the elevators broke down at least 3 times, and at least one time with people in it. Several pieces of equipment in the gym were not functional. The security guard staff was very friendly though. All in all, we enjoyed our time but would like to see some of these issues addressed before we would consider staying in this unit again.

It was alright

Our stay was okay, but okay about covers it. The unit's AC was out for the first 2 days, which when they maintenance tech came to fix it, come to find out the filters hadn't been replaced in a long time. Dryer doesn't dry clothes in less than 3 cycles. Extremely cheap sheets / pillow covers (some pillows had no pillow cases). The master bed didn't even have properly-sized sheets / blankets. Remote didn't work for the TV. The kitchen was lacking some pretty common cooking utensils. The internet "works" but it's a joke. Feet marks all over one of the guest bedrooms which... idk it was just weird. The loft bed looks like it's about to fall down from the cracks in it. The door to the balcony requires a significant amount of strength to open. And we've never been to a place that required us to buy our own hand soap (among other things). Idk. None of these ruined our stay, but it just showed a consistent lack of attention to detail. Using the money from one week's stay, they could fix all of this and make the unit really nice. "Just alright" is how I'd rate this unit, nothing to write home about.

Don’t book here!

We stayed here for a week with family, thinking the condo would accommodate all of us as advertised. There were 8 of us total, it is supposed to accommodate 10. However there isn’t enough seating in the kitchen area for all to sit. There are 4 seats at the table and 3 chairs at the bar. They advertise having an ice machine, they don’t, they have ice trays. Cleaning was questionable as we gave our son a bath we found old soap from a prior vacationer. Furniture is very outdated, you can tell whoever owns it doesn’t care about that and just rents it out. We won’t stay in this condo ever again and don’t recommend it to anyone. Parking is horrible especially if you have a truck, good luck in finding a space on the ground floor.

Great location, poor furnishings.

The bones of the property were great. I think the owner has not been able put anything into the furniture or decor. The recliner was beige fabric but was so dirty it was brown in spots. There were no curtains on the west facing windows which caused the temperatures to become very high, even in November. I was told they were on order. We had to hang a blanket up over a portion just to get relief. The condo is a great condo unless you are particular about how they are furnished. I would stay again, hoping the items that caused us the most issues are fixed.

A little disappointing

We love Gulf Shores and in the past have had no problems at other rentals. This particular property however, featured the fitness center in their listing and when we arrived we learned it was not available.. we chose this one over other listings due to the workout space and pools (outdoor pool also not available). We were also charged an upcharged rate due to "shrimp fest", which had been canceled so I don't feel like this particular space was worth the $300+ a night. It was average in our opinion. The view was nice, dryer took forever to dry a small load so I ended up bringing our laundry home dirty.

Decent place to stay with lots of room. Sadly the beach access was closed for half the week and the outdoor pool closed the entire week. Parking is a nightmare in a truck. Need to make it mandatory parking in garage for smaller vehicles. Room itself was great

What a fantastic rental. Just overwhelming views of the gulf. Great location for walking down the strip. Kids had so much fun and loved the rental. It was so big that we never bumped into each other and 3 full bathrooms was a super big plus. Don’t pass this rental up best location and deal available with great management. Love Kim at rental office. She is so the best.

Love the location, not this unit

We have stayed at Island Towers two other times and have loved everything about it but as soon as we walked in this room it quickly became apparent that this unit was a disappointment. Sticky floors, dirty counters, food in a kitchen cabinet, wet towel over the shower curtain, folded damp towels in the master bath (used and refolded or just not fully dried?), old mattresses and even older bedding, two dining room chairs had broken backs making them unusable, one wall of windows in the main living area had brackets for curtains but no curtains, NO FURNITURE on either deck, and the worst surprise was found as I made the bed the next morning- a pair of underwear in the sheets! A cleaning crew was sent on Sunday to clean the floors and bring fresh towels but sheets were not changed. The rental company came to the unit with brand new outdoor furniture on Monday. We have vacationed in Gulf Shores for 30+ years and have never stayed in a unit so badly neglected. We were grateful to receive new deck furniture so that we could enjoy sitting on the deck but were never offered even a slight refund. Having spent what we did for the week we feel some compensation should have been made. Needless to say, we would not recommend staying in this unit.

Great condo, great location, could use some updates

This is a great condo with a great location. Lots of windows overlooking to white sandy beaches and lots of square footage.. The photos are accurate. However, it could use some updates: • Some of the electrical outlets in the kitchen don't work. • It isn't a keyless entry. You have to go to the property manager and pick up the key and then drop it off when you check out. Not a big deal but a keyless entry is easier. • Needs new pillows for the beds. The current ones are flat and worn out. • Blender is cracked. • There is a loose tile on the balcony floor. These are all minor, and didn't hinder our stay, but fixing the above would improve the overall experience.

Great condo great location

Quick getaway for 3 adults and 5 children. Was cold the entire time but it snowed in louisiana so it was all good. Not sure why no one in alabama doesn't have indoor heated pools but the younger kids still swam. We bundled up and walked the beach. Nothing can stop us from sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves!! Had to replace batteries in about all the remotes and wash a few pots and pans that were put away dirty but other than that it was an awesome place to be. Will definitely be back!!

Elevator took 15-45 mins to use. One went to ground the other Did not go to ground floor. Great access to the beach and balcony view was great. Pool was super clean.

Great location however the online condo photos certainly did the place justice.

Only park on level 1 if you have a SUV/truck! Tiny garage! Gorgeous beach view and perfect location next to Bahama Bobs but balcony has a few broken/loose ground tiles and side balcony table has no glass. One tiny pot provided for cooking. Uncomfortable couch as it may be broken. Some electrical outlet didn’t work. Missing paint in areas and baseboards was strange... just didn’t seem like the owner cared for his place 100%. We enjoyed our short stay luckily only 4 of us stayed there - not recommended for many more occupants.

We had a great time renting this condo. We had 4 adults and 5 kids and the accommodations worked well for us. Only downside is that the parking garage is very tight and had to maneuver. But you quickly forget that struggle once you’re on the balcony looking over the beautiful gulf.
