Castaways 2C ~ Gulf Front, Prime Location ~ Walk to Town!

*****

Family vacation

Stayed at this same property last year. Was a nice and spacious condo. Kitchen was updated with new appliances. We had a great time. - (Aug 2020 - VRBO)

Vacay

The condo was nice and clean but not enough bath towels; 2 per bath. The exterior of the condo is in dire need of repair. The elevator is dirty, rust is on the doors of the units, the pool gate beach side is broken and generally the entire bldg is way past needing care. The parking lot spaces are so tight that passengers have to exit the car before pulling into a space. Inside great, outside was not appealing at all. Alabama needs to clean their beaches also. We found multiple beer cans buried in the sand. - (Jul 2020 - VRBO)

Amazing getaway

My family and I had a great time in Gulf Shores. Found the location of Castaways was perfect. Great value overall! - (May 2020 - VRBO)

Overall a good place to stay

We had a very good experience with the booking process. The after-hours checkin instructions were clear and the communication with property management was without a hassle. The property was clean and had most of the things that we needed. Instructions for 'what to bring' for the stay were also clear and helpful. The property is very close to the beach and has a small swimming pool. We enjoyed our stay. There are two things I wish were better. 1. Parking is horrible. The parking spots are too tight. My car got a scratch from some someone trying to open their car door. 2. The financial risk of trip cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances is too high. If you book for 3 days of stay and have to cancel a week before, you have to forfeit all the booking costs. I will think twice only for these two reasons. Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay. - (Sep 2019 - VRBO)

Family of 3 stay at castaways 2c

The condo was perfect size for me and my family. Everything updated. The locks were just changed to a keypad lock before we got there, so that was very nice. It had everything we needed. The only downside that we could think of is the parking for castaways. The main lot is small and narrow. We have a Yukon and it was very, very tight parking. But other than the parking it was a wonderful experience. Definitly will be re-booking in the future. - (Jun 2019 - VRBO)

Girls trip!

Very nice condo priced very reasonably. The parking lot was the only hard part for us. The lot and parking places are small and hard to manuever. - (Jun 2019 - VRBO)

Just right!

Had everything we needed, great location and beach space. Only thing that would have been nicer is a key code system instead of actual keys - (Jun 2019 - VRBO)

Clean and amazing view

The condo was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The view was amazing! This condo was perfect for me and my family and we can not wait to return. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to come for a relaxing time. It's a short walk to everything you will need as far as restaurants and shopping. - (Oct 2018 - VRBO)

Beautiful view, unit accomodations are very nice too. Poor wifi and parking

This is one beautiful unit. Great location, nice balcony to sit and listen to the ocean. We even saw dolphins from the unit - probably 3 of the 5 days we went to the beach. The bedrooms were very nice - as was the kitchen. The TV is a nice size too. But you won't be able to stream Netflix to it..... One hangup we had was the cell reception and wifi. It's 2018. I know we are on vacation but the wifi is virtually non-existent there. I don't know why. I don't know how many people in the bldg use that connection/network - as other wireless networks are password-protected, but the one that is advertised was horrendous. Oddly so was the LTE inside the unit, which has nothing to do with the condo itself. We found ourselves walking to our car to be able send or receive a text....or simply to research a restaurant to go to....or we had to take our cells to the beach and do it down there. The parking lot is incredible tight. We stood and watched and listened to doors hitting other doors for one evening. It's just very cramped. Doesn't help that everyone who goes on vacation uses their oversized SUV's and trucks (no fault of the owners of course), but that lot isn't capable of holding such vehicle comfortably. In the end, overall we liked the unit itself just fine (it was beautiful!), but the wifi and parking situation would make us think twice to consider going back to it. For others that may be no big deal. - (Jul 2018 - Flipkey)

Castaways 2C

My family of 5 stayed in Castaways 2C. I can't say enough positive things about it. There was so much space in the condo that we never felt cramped. It was clean and had everything we needed. I loved being able to do laundry all week. The view was right on the gulf. We were a 5-7 minute walk from Sea n Suds, Gulf Island Grille, The Hangout and several Souvenir shops. The Condo is so secure that all tenants could leave their beach carts on the lower level all night without the risk of having anything stolen. We loved the Beach Toy box so when we needed to borrow a chair or a toy there was extra. Absolutely loved our stay! - (Jul 2018 - Flipkey)

We will stay here again!

Great view, clean, close to great food, beach is not near as crowded as the beaches left and right! The walk to the beach is short. Mattresses are a little hard, but to be expected anywhere. We will stay here again!

Loved this condo!!

Dont let the outside fool you on this one. It is an older building but you will not be disappoi ted at all. We loved this unit from the moment we opened the door! The view is AMAZING and the decor is very modern and tasteful. The furniture was comfortable and so were the beds. Nice large tv's in each room. And the place was spotless! We could tell the place had been cleaned with bleach which to me is a good thing. The kitchen was the most stocked kitchen we have ever seen in a condo. Blender, toaster oven, keurig coffee maker and plenty of pots and pans with lots of extras! Will definitely stay here again! ! - (Oct 2016)

Castaways

I would definitely stay here again. It was very nice and close to everything. The only down fall and complaint I had was the weather!! It rained most of the week. I had 3 teenagers with me but we made the most of it. I would recommend this condo to friends and family! - (Aug 2016)

Great Place

We recently visited Gulf Shores for the first time and stayed in Castaways 2C and loved it! The outside of the condo isn't much to look at, but our condo was perfect. We have two young girls and they loved it also. The view is amazing and the unit is within walking distance of many great restaurants and shops.We would book her again in a heart beat! - (Jul 2015)

Awesome place to stay

This place was awesome. Great upgrades, well stocked, unit is on the beach, with a balcony overlooking the gulf. The only thing I felt it needed was a screen door on the master bedroom door. It would have been great to leave the door open at night to be lulled to sleep by the waves, without fear of allowing flys to get into the unit. - (May 2015)

Great location!

Perfect location on the beach. The condo was clean and well equipped with everything my family needed. The Keurig coffee maker was a plus! Only wish the complex had more parking spaces. Thanks for the easy process, will be back. - (Aug 2014 - VRBO)
