Get your beach on at this beautiful condo right on the water! This prime location will not disappoint as you sit on the private balcony with your morning coffee or evening cocktail and take in all the sights, sounds, and smells the glorious gulf has to offer. With only one bedroom, you can still sleep easily and comfortably using the sofa sleeper and built-in bunkbeds (preferably for kids only). Perfect for a family vacation or friend group getaway. Everything you need for whipping up lovely meals and snacks can be found in the fully-equipped kitchen.

With private access to the beach, you can surf or body board to your heart's delight; but for those days you want to take a break from the sand, relax poolside, or take a dip in either the indoor or outdoor pool or enjoy the sauna and fitness gym. At Gulf Shores, you’ll find endless opportunities for your choice of rest or recreation. Have a spa day, hit the waves in a jet ski, or bike the Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. Kids will love the rides and slides at Waterville USA, and adults will find no shortage of retail therapy downtown.

Great weekend stay

This unit is very small but has a great view and was very clean. The bedroom is on the back of the unit so no ocean view there.

Gulfshores getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. Loved the gulf balcony view. Area was safe and friendly. Restaurants near by were great. Overall satisfied with a few exceptions. Pet friendly a must for our fur baby. Update the living room furniture and do your pest control would have made our stay even better.

Great location right on a beautiful beach.

This is a nice condo in a great location right on the beach. Reserved covered parking is also a great plus. Checkin was easy. Hosts are professionals. The building and condo are a little dated, but the price makes this a great value.

Nicer than expected

Enjoyed time with grand babies at the pool and beach. Easy walking to the beach. Nice views. Not having to worry about the fur babies boarded somewhere was really nice. Will book again.

Awesome view

My wife and I spent a long weekend here to enjoy the Gulf, and the view from the large balcony was perfect. This is a top floor unit in a small, older building, and it's a bit tired and dated, but comfortable and functional. There's a nice pool (also an indoor pool that we didn't use) and convenient covered parking. Overall, great for the price, although certainly not luxurious. We would definitely stay here again.

Was disappointed as to where you had to take my dog for his potty break, next to road, with all the traffic was very distracting so he had a hard time I realize the space is limited but would be nice to have a fenced in area

Worse Condo Ever!!

Everything was extremely outdated and very uncomfortable. Livingroom furniture was terrible and the bedroom was even worse. I would not recommend this property to anyone. Beware!!!

Everything was great. I really wish dogs were allowed on the beach. I didn't know that dogs weren't allowed on the beach until the day before we left for gulf shores. The location and everything surrounding our condo was great. The pull out couch bed is really probably only meant for children it's very uncomfortable for adults. No complaints it was a beautiful vacation. Make sure to check the parking garage for your parking spot. We were there 3 days before we realized that some idiot was in our assigned parking spot. They had a SUV that covered the sign that clearly said parking for 802. The view from the patio was breathtaking.

Old and past it's prime!

Pros: The view of the water is beautiful. You can hear the waves inside the unit when the glass doors are open. Cons: The unit smelled musty and old. The title floors are old and dirty, as is the rug in the living room. Walk around in the unit with socks on and you will see how dirty the floors are. Broken closet doors, broken toaster and broken vacuum, how do they vacuum this unit? Sheets and bedding are very old and thin. No kitchen towels or dish rags. Kitchen light did not turn on with the 1st flip of the switch but it would after 3-5 flips. WIFI password never worked. Two TV remotes for each TV but no instructions in the unit. I called numerous times VACASA about all the issues. The number is to a call center and the staff answering my calls, were polite tried to be helpful and always promised that a "local manager" would call me. I never received any follow up phone calls during our stay. We will not be using VACASA to rent vacation homes or condo in the future!

Overall, good

Overall this condo met my needs. It was clean when I arrived and everything was as I expected. The only problem I had was with the kitchen stove. One of the knobs to control a front burner was broken off. The appliances were all dated, but aside from the issue with the stover everything I used worked well. The mattress in the bed room wasn't very comfortable, but this is more a matter of opinion than fact.

Gulf Shore Beauty

Absolutely beautiful location. Located on the 8th floor with a balcony overlooking the Gulf. Within walking distance of many local eateries. Check In process was fantastic, as far as how to access unit, location of parking space, and condo amenities. Communication with property management was five-star. Unit could use some updates, but overall location/price could not be beat.
