Overall this was a good spot for a family of 4-6. Great location in the middle of GS. The beach area was nice but make sure to rent chairs early if you decide to go that route as they do not have a lot of space. Biggest issue was parking. Nowhere did they inform us we could only have 1 parking pass. We ended up having to buy a spot down the road for $20/night to park our second car.
Manager's Response
Hi Charles and thank you for the great feedback. The parking situation is outlined in the listing..."Parking: Parking pass is required per vehicle. 1 pre-paid parking pass is included with booking. Only 1 parking pass is allowed during peak season (March-August & Labor Day). Outside of peak season 1 additional pass may be purchased for $25." We understand that tit might be overlooked and we will look into incorporating this into our check-in instructions as well. As you likely noticed, parking is limited, especially during peak season. We appreciate you brining this to our attention, and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay despite the parking situation.

This place is close to a lot of has a wonderful view. It is on the beach.I love that it has the doors you can open and close on the balcony or sun room as some call it. The pool and property are well maintained. The building is smaller and less crowded and this is great for me. You do park in the parking provided and it is very close to the elevator. Our stay was good no issues with anything.The elevator did tear up 1 day but was quickly fixed it was about an hour or so out of working order. They did have someone there to let you know it was broken and how long it would be. I feel this is very nice for them to do that instead of people getting upset thinking it will not be fixed.
I will go back to this condo.

Thanks for the great review, Cynthia! We love that view too! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope you'll plan a return visit soon.

Fun place to stay! The place was very spacious with 2 bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with the tools you need for preparing meals, coffee, or snacks. There was an incident of the toilet leaking and the manager was easy to communicate with and took care of the situation same day. Very friendly staff! The view from this property was amazing! We stayed up late listening to the waves and enjoying the beach life. With the patio doors on the balcony, you could close yourself away from the wind or the cold. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in 5B. The only suggestion is the place is a tad run down/outdated in some areas and it looks like the cleaning crew could have been more thorough. We ended up cleaning some areas for our comfort. The pool lady did an amazing job each morning! You could tell she took pride in her role. The pool was very clean and well maintained. This is a great place to stay if you have a larger family or adult children. Lots of room to move around. We love Gulf Shores, and this was our 2nd visit back. Highly recommend this location if you want to be away from the crowd downtown. Gulf Towers had a parking lot close to the elevators and carts were accessible for moving your items from your vehicle. This location is not far away from the Hang Out and downtown shopping. We will be back!
Manager's Response
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback, Kari, and we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to your next visit!

This condo location was amazing. Visiting with a 5 and 2 year old was so easy with the convenience of everything there. The view was amazing! When we arrived the condo was like I walked into my own home. It was clean and did not disappoint. I even had the privilege of meeting the neighbor next to us who actually lives there and owns. What a beautiful experience for my family. I have nothing negative to say but will positively stay again. The view is breathtaking from the condo! Was hard when we had to leave! I recommend this condo to anyone looking for a paradise view and closeness to the beach. I will be booking again! Thumbs up!

The rental was on the ocean and we had a great view. However, it needed a little more cleaning. We swept and mopped the bathroom, kitchen and hall. It was a convenient location and wwe enjoyed our stay. The new refrigerator ice maker didn’t work and the-repairman was not available until after we left.

Would definitely recommend staying! We had an amazing experience... this was our first time visiting Alabama. The condo was very clean, the pool was always clean, people other people that live there all year were Super nice! I loved the fact that it’s not very commercialized... it’s a very family oriented beach! We definitely plan on visiting again soon!

Thanks John! We are happy to hear that your first visit to Gulf Shores was a great experience and we look forward to welcoming you back for years to come.

The unit was dirty and old. If it weren’t for the view we would have left. The door didn’t bolt close. We called management and they said the would get a new one. We were there for a month and never heard from them again. They said they would send over a maid to relearn but as we had already waited all day on the 1st. We stated it should have already been clean. Really disappointed.
Manager's Response
Thanks for staying with us June. We appreciate your feedback. We never like to hear a guest is less than satisfied with their stay. The deadbolt will be looked at by the owner When they visit next but the security latch works properly for added security. We offered to have the cleaning company come back to take care of any cleaning issues but you refused the service. They would have been happy to take care of any issues to make you comfortable for your stay. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location.
