Right on the water, this spacious, family-friendly condo offers easy beach access, large rooms and a clean, functional layout that accommodated our group; while the property could use a cosmetic refresh and the elevator is unreliable, guests appreciate the well-stocked basics, practical amenities and attentive host responses that make for a comfortable, relaxed seaside stay.

July 2026

We had 10 people and there was room for all of us. it actually is 3 bedroom and the bunk bed has a pull out trundle bed too and the couch pulls out into bed too. It is a long walk to most stuff but you do have a store with all basics across street along with ice cream shop, s&s seafood shop and a restaurant. The code to get in the room was 10 numbers long which seemed a bit excessive so we never locked it (except at night) the whole week and never had no problems. The beach was never over crowded like around the big places and we all enjoyed our stay there.

Avari response:

Thank you, Chad, for sharing your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that our home comfortably accommodated your group of ten and that you found the layout with the bunk beds and pull-out options to be a good fit. It’s great to know you enjoyed the quieter beach atmosphere, too; we believe it adds to the charm of Gulf Shores.

We appreciate your feedback about the entry code. While we aim for security, we understand that a lengthy code can feel cumbersome. We're glad to hear you felt safe during your stay.

Having local shops and eateries nearby is a bonus, and we’re happy you could take advantage of those. We hope you’ll consider returning for another stay with us in the future. Your comfort and enjoyment are our top priorities, and we’d love to welcome you back.

We had a hiccup upon arrival with a 3hr delay in checking in bc our condo had not been cleaned from the prior guest. The host got it taken care of asap and was willing to reimburse our meal for the evening due to the inconvenience. The pillows provided could use a major upgrade and a little TLC on the bedding. Communication was great with our Avari team. Once we were settled in, the condo was enjoyable. The beach access was great. View was wonderful from the end of the breeze way. The pool had easy access and water was cold, Having a designated parking spot was nice. The location was convenient, not too busy and close to shopping and restaurants. Our family had a great time, even with some rainy days during our visit. We would come back again. Hopefully our host will consider our suggestions.

We loved the condo and the location. The communication with the host company was our issue. We had the incorrect WiFi password and gate code, 2 of the TVs would not work. We were able to call in and get the correct WiFi password. However, the they gave us several gate codes and none of them worked..we ended up using the neighbor’s code to get to the beach..we were emailed the correct code at 3am the morning we were due to check out. They also said they’d send someone to fix the issue with the tvs, we never had anyone show up to resolve the issue.

I liked it was beach side. We had plenty of room. The rooms were big and upstairs for the kids. They enjoyed this. The elevator does not work here. It will go up but not down. Use stairs.
