Inside, an open living area with tiled floors has a 40' flat screen TV with a DVD player. Watch a movie and relax on two comfortable couches.

It’s easy to make quick beach snacks and vacation-worthy meals in the recently updated kitchen, featuring granite countertops and high-end appliances. Keep the chef in your group company at the kitchen bar for two.

When you’re ready to eat, savor a home-cooked dinner at the four-person dining table.

This home sleeps five guests total between two bedrooms.

A master bedroom has a king-size bed, a 32' flat screen TV with a DVD player, and direct balcony access. An en-suite bathroom features a stylishly tiled walk-in shower.

The second bedroom comes with a queen-size bed and a twin bed - both decked out in fun nautical-themed bedspreads. This room also has a 32' flat screen TV with a DVD player and convenient access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

Guest amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, cable TV, an in-unit washer/dryer, and space for two cars in the parking lot. Please note that a fee of $40 will be added to the reservation in order to include two guest parking passes.

As part of The Whaler complex, additional perks include a shared pool, picnic benches, barbecue grills, an outdoor shower, and beach access.

THE LOCATION

You’ll love being within walking distance to the beach. A 4-minute stroll to Gulf State Park will also take you to more stretches of white sand along with miles of walking trails. Rent a kayak and paddleboard for the day, or bring your fishing gear and cast a line off the huge Gulf State Park Pier.

For a family outing, hop in the car and head 4 minutes to Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. Or travel 7 minutes to Adventure Island - a fun-filled amusement park with go-karts, an arcade, laser tag, paddle boats, and kids rides.

When dining out, stroll 7 minutes to enjoy the catch of the day at Sea N Suds. For Caribbean-style seafood, head to Gulf Island Grill. Or make your way to The Hangout for live music and an oyster cook-off. Both are within a mile from the condo.

505 6A wait for some updates

Price was good for what we had.

From the moment we arrived the door code would not work. After 2 days of trying to enter the condo with so much trouble we finally got a key to use.
I was very disappointed with the issues we had to deal with just to get in the condo each and every time we left and returned. I think we should have been compensated for all the inconvenience of our time and trouble with just the door lock issues.
The beds queen was hard and the twin bed had to use a pillow where the bed had a whole or just wore out just to stay on the mattress and from sleeping against the wall.
King bed was nothing to brag about. We had trouble flushing comode sometimes in king room .
Also pillow in main living room appeared to have a blood stain.
The sliding door to the balcony was extremely hard to slide open. And a broken patio chair was on the balcony (should have been thrown away)
The whole condo was ok but really needs to be updated.
We made the best of our stay we had a fairly good view.

I recommend don't stay here until the owners make some updates
