Great location for a great price

The place was well stocked and plenty of room for 5 adults. The beach was perfect and less than a minute walk. Thanks for the memories! - (Aug 2020 - VRBO)

2020 July Vaca During Corona

Great time. Condo was so convenient to all we needed and especially the beach. We we concerned about closures due to covid, but all went well. We need a get away Especially my daughter who Is an ICU nurse and caring for covid patients. She really enjoyed the beach to clear her mind. We felt very safe at the condo and surrounding area.We were able to use the pool with grandson. We had only wished the actual pool water had been lighted. It stayed open til 11pm, but once it got dark it seemed too dangerous to swim. The pool area was dimly lit mostly where concrete tables where. Would have been nice to use the pool after sun goes down. Even with that said We plan on coming back next year. Thank you for making our stay comfortable.

Gulf Shores

This property was better than pictured. Some of the furnishings had been updated, and it was SUPER clean. The location was also perfect! Beachfront and within walking distance of restaurants, ice cream, and souvenir shops. This is our new go to place in Gulf Shores, and we hope to stay here again. - (Jun 2020 - VRBO)


*****

Very pleased with our stay. Location was good and condo well supplied. Will use again if available .

It was very easy to rent and well supplied. Likes that it was a smaller condo unit as it wasn't crowded. Would definitely try to get into the same place again. Could have used more bath linens as we came in late afternoon and once we showered to go out that evening our towels were already used. We were supposed to have 5 people coming, fortunately there was only 4 as we were only supplied 4 towels. - (Jul 2019 - VRBO)

Comfortable like home

Very nice and comfortable home away from home. Great for relaxing by the pool, convenient access to the beach, and nicely decorated. Master bed was very comfortable. Cooking was made easy with many options in cookware, blender, coffee maker, etc. Convenient to Hangout and walking distance to shops, and groceries. Not much in town on night life, so area is more highly recommended for family stays or a time to sit back and relax. Flora bama is a $30 uber about 30 mins. away, if adults feel they must get out for a night of song and dance one night. We experienced a broken elevator, but using the stairs forced us to do some much needed exercise. Could have used a few more towels and face clothes so as not to have guests forced to do laundry while on vacation. Thanks for good overall stay. - (Jul 2019 - VRBO)

Great location -Southern Sands 102

Our family of 5 stayed in 102. Easy to get to and great location. Place was clean and had a decent view of the beach and pool. Enjoyed watching the dolphins from the balcony. Living room and kitchen was dated but master bedroom and bath looked like it was recently updated. Beware that if you arrive after 7 pm to check in they will charge you a $40 fee to pick up your registration info from the security guard. Didn't find that out until everything was paid in full and we didn't think we were going to make it to check in by then. Enjoyed our stay overall. - (Apr 2019 - VRBO)

Southern Sands 102- Would book again

Stay was pleasant. Not luxury accommodations but that is not what they advertise anyway. Sleeper sofa was not very comfortable for my 17 year old son, but they never are. The mattress in the master is very firm, which is definitely not my preference. This (and the balcony area) would be the only reason(s) I would try for another condo in this same unit next time and try to search some reviews for similar details. Elevator was adequate but slow and very hot and stuffy. Loved the location and it was easy to get to. Very close to several eating joints and ice cream shops. It was nice to have the Souvenir shop across the street. I originally had one of the condos across the front of the unit reserved but had to change my reservation and 102 was the only one open. Next time I will try again for one of those. All in all, 102 is fine and you should be happy with what you get for the price. Thanks! Oh yeah- the only other thing worth mentioning is A LOT of sunlight and warmth comes in through the windows and sliding doors in the living room area. You have to keep the blinds closed during the heat of the day or the AC will not keep up - (Jun 2018 - VRBO)

Mr.

We had a great stay here. The beach is very accessible and this place is within walking distance to a number of fun restaurants and bars. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and very clean! Would highly recommend! - (May 2018 - Flipkey)

Shrimp Fest at its best

our 3rd year at Southern Sands, 104 twice and 102 this year. Both condos excellent and location is wonderful. We come down for Shrimp Fest and to visit friends. We plan on coming again next year and staying in the same complex. Wonderful view of the ocean and right on the beach. - (Oct 2017)


*****

Well equipped and clean

We loved the location and the condo itself. The kitchen was well stocked and all the appliances were emaculatly clean. The oven was older but like I said clean. All beach condos take a beating but this one seems no worse for wear with lots of recent updates. I would stay there again. The food options in the area leave a lot to be desired but if you drive a ways you can find better places

Beach R&R before cancer treatment

LOVE LOVE LOVE this condo!!!!! Location ! Location! Location! My mom and I had the best time together making memories here. The condo has an elevator and it's waterfront, mom appreciated that. Very clean! ( I'm a manager of a cleaning crew so naturally it's important). There is a souvenir store across the street in case you forgot to pack a deck of cards. We will defiantly be back A.S.A.P Thank you for your hospitality! - (May 2017 - Flipkey)

STATE track meet

We enjoyed our stay at Southern Sands 102. We wasn't at the condo much due to being at the track all day. The condo was clean and very spacious. We would recommend this condo. Office staff was very nice and helpful. - (May 2017 - Flipkey)
