Great place to stay for a family of 5 clean, close to good food and entertainment walk to the beach

Had a great stay. Was clean a minute or two walk to the beach. Communication with property management was clear. Will definitely be back it was perfect for my family of 5. They only complaint I would have is that you had to keep adjusting the thermostat it was set on a program time and temp would have to cut it down to the desired temperature about 3 times a day would give it 4.5 stars out of 5 everything else was great other than the cleaning crew got there about 30 mins early on the last day and we felt rushed to leave - (Aug 2023 - VRBO)

Location, location, location!

My family decided on a "spur of the moment" trip to the beach for the 4th of July. We couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. The location was fantastic with many places to eat and shop within a comfortable walking distance - very important in July! We also felt comfortable with our older teenage sons exploring the area on their own. Speaking as someone who has a hard time with the crowds at large, high rise condos, this condo was as described with a low density beach and quiet pool. Beach umbrellas and chairs are available for rent and are only a single row unlike the 2-3 rows in other areas. Be aware that you cannot have tents and canopies near the water. With only 18 units, parking is a breeze, some are covered. My children have been to some pretty elaborate accommodations in the past and they all deemed this place "the best we've ever had." The condo was clean. Check in was a breeze, even at 11pm. The kitchen was well stocked. My only advice to potential renters is to bring your own heavier blankets, if desired. I worried about having communal laundry but had absolutely no problems with it. If you are looking for a less crowded, fully functional, beach front place - look no further. We hope to return soon. - (Jul 2023 - VRBO)

Great Location

We enjoyed our stay at Gulfsands. Very relaxing and had everything we needed. There was an issue with an appliance but they fixed it in a matter of hours. Super nice people. - (Jun 2023 - VRBO)

Great stay in a great location!

Great location with great views. Easy walk to the Hangout and restaurants, stores. And about a 15 minute drive to Orange Beach. We stayed over Spring Break and wasn't overly busy, but wasn't overly warm either. Would stay here again! - (Mar 2023 - VRBO)

Perfect oceanfront condo...

I've stayed at this complex before, so knew it was a low-density condo with absolutely amazing oceanfront views. And, with this stay, we were not disappointed. The condo was VERY clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. The location is ideal, we could walk to almost everything. The only drawback was the check-in process for this unit. We had to stop at a building on the way in to town to pick up a check-in packet, which was an inconvenience. Since parking passes can be left in the unit, there is a keypad entry, and we used the VRBO app to reserve the condo, I'm not sure why it was necessary to pick up a parking pass and a piece of paper with our code on it. But, it was a small inconvenience to stay at a great condo! - (Oct 2022 - VRBO)

Review

Absolutely loved the place. It was convenient enough that I never had to drive anywhere. Close to the beach, Close to restaurants, and Close to the stores. Absolutely loved the view the most. The o ky issue that I encountered was the elevator, it was sketchy to ride on. But other then that, I definitely give this place 5 stars and will love to come back again REAL SOON!!! - (Apr 2022 - VRBO)

Perfect family getaway

The view from the balcony was AMAZING. You really can't get much better. There was plenty of room in the condo for the 4 of us. The condo was clean besides many of the dishes, so we had to clean everything before using them. Also, there was only enough bedding for the the beds, no extra throw blankets and the bedding was very thin. The pool area was clean and in the sun most of the day which was great, though the pool wasn't heated. The location is also very close to all the favorite restaurants, once we parked the car, we walked everywhere the rest of our vacation!! Overall, we would definitely go again to the same place!! - (Apr 2022 - VRBO)

Great location

Loved the condo. It wasn't in a huge complex so it was less crowded on the beach in front of it. Loved having the balcony that was accessible from the bedroom as well as the living room with a great view of the beach and pool. I don't know what kind of mattress was in the master bedroom but I believe it's the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. I wish I had one just like it at home to sleep in every night. - (Aug 2020 - VRBO)

Great Condo

The condo was great, beautiful view. Check in was a little hectic, and confusing. Issues with pool the first day was a downer. But we loved the place and look forward to staying there again. - (Jul 2020 - VRBO)

Nice location

The location of the property is very good. Our check in was late which is a big deal if you've been driving all day:( - (Jun 2020 - VRBO)

Great for a quick stay.

We love the location and being directly on the beach. The pots and bowls were dirty and the glasses were really dirty, the towels are white but some have stains, other than that, the condo is great! The elevator needs some work, it stops and makes really loud sounds when going up and down. The beach is perfect and super close! Perfect for our kids. The pool is shaded most of the day, which isn't really ideal, but who cares. The guy wouldn't allow us to put up our tent, which sucked big time because we have three kids (two toddlers). Overall we enjoyed our stay and loved the location! The check in was simple, the condo was nice and location couldn't have been better! Thank you for having us!!! (Maybe just go in and deep clean and buy some new dishes and towels). - (May 2020 - VRBO)
