Southern Sands 305 - Gulf Front - Walk to Town

****

Perfect location with a beautiful beach

Close to everywhere you want to be at the beach! The only negative was the beds were not comfortable. Balcony great view. Pool is nice. Very clean. Bathroom and bedrooms are a little outdated. But they were clean. - (Jul 2023 - VRBO)

Great week-Great weather!

We've been returning to Gulf Shores since 2018 and staying at the same beachfront complex. Great location and easy access to beach and restaurants we like. - (Jul 2023 - VRBO)

Good area

Air was not working upon arrival. 2 hours later it was resolved. Hot water heater did not work and had to be replaced. Was not left clean with old "dip" on the patio and old coffee in the pot. Mold in the tub jets. Pull out sofa had only springs and was not able to be slept on. - (Jul 2022 - VRBO)

Elevator was not working properly

Elevator would bounce as you tried to exit and enter and the door would not open completely every time and would open a foot or two and close before you could enter or exit. We were very uncomfortable using it but given the amount of baggage we had we felt we were forced to use it. Other tenants mentioned the same concerns. - (Jul 2022 - VRBO)

Everything as described

We had a great time. The location is great and easy access to beach and the Hangout. Our AC did not work but because it was March, and still cool out it was bearable and the rental company had someone out there very quickly after I called about it! We would def. Stay there again! - (Apr 2022 - VRBO)

Great location and very clean!

Overall I loved my stay and would stay there again. The condo was clean, ample parking was available, and the easy access to the beach was awesome! The pool was nice, and the common areas were clean and well kept. My only negative comments I have are that the bed was hard and the bedding was cheap. Also, the main bathroom could really use some updating and so could the living room furniture. I would recommend covering the couch with a sheet and bringing your own bedding. - (Oct 2021 - VRBO)

Needs safety updates

When arriving we noticed the refrigerator had not been wiped out, the plugins are worn very badly to the extent that the cords fall out, sparks fly at times, lamps flicker, bedroom closet piled full of stuff in the floor to the point you cant use the closet. The blue bedroom walls were very nasty and stained and has a terrible smell. Also the end table by the recliners mirror top in cracked and someone could get cut on it. The deck pillows need replaced due to mildew stains, (3 outdoor cute pillows at Walmart for $15) 
 
Gulfsands Reply: Hi, thanks for your note, but we heard nothing about any issue during your stay. We have quickly checked the unit, and there is no smell other than recent clean. Not sure we follow this review, but thanks for your comments and stay. We also checked all end tables and found no issue? Thanks again. - (Jun 2021 - VRBO)

Great place to vacation. Balcony furniture could use updating. Toilet will not flush.

Great place to vacation. Awesome view. Toilet not flushing unless lid is removed an move bobber with hand. Balcony furniture could use updating. Balcony door very hard to lock. I would absolutely stay again. - (May 2020 - VRBO)

AMAZING VIEW

Location was great. Close walk to the beach. Condo was very clean. We will definitely make this an annual vacation. - (Oct 2018 - Flipkey)

Nice enough!

The condo is spacious, more than enough for two. The location is great, easy beach access with a wonderful view from the third floor facing the shore. Lovely sunrises and sunsets from there. The overall furnishings are a bit shabby and could use an update, but it is clean and was adequate for our needs. - (Sep 2018 - VRBO)

Vacation on the beach

Enjoyed condo, especially location with accessibility to beach and pool. Shopping easily accessible, sidewalk making walking along Beach Blvd safe. - (Aug 2018 - VRBO)

GREAT location, beach front paradise!

This property is Gulf Front in a great small community very close to Gulf Shores attractions. There is plenty of room, and the unit is well furnished and well maintained. There were a few small maintenance problems that need to be addressed, but nothing that impacted the stay. The beach in front of the property was never crowded, but was less than a 5 minute walk to the center of the public beach with volleyball tournaments and food/entertainment. There was plenty of parking. I would definitely stay here again! - (May 2017 - Flipkey)
