Overview

A low-density condo complex in the heart of all the fun of the Gulf Shores main public beach area entertainment district, Island Shores offers fantastic access to major beach and surf shops; restaurants like The Hangout, Pink Pony Pub and Sea-n-Suds; and fun attractions like Waterville USA, Gulf State Park, and The Track Family Recreation Center.

While the condo's location gives you the flexibility to enjoy all there is to do on the Gulf Coast, you'll want to take time to relax at your condo.

Enjoy your own private balcony as you gaze at the surf and sand below. Be sure to watch for dolphins frolicking in the Gulf. Or, let the kids blow off some steam at the outdoor pool as you lounge around and read that book you've been trying to get to for the past several months.

Want to build the coolest sandcastle around? Call our friends at Sandcastle University for a sandcastle-building lesson. They'll come to beachfront at Island Shores and bring all the tools and buckets you'll need. All you have to do is supply the creativity and the hands to construct your masterpiece!

At Island Shores, you'll enjoy the solitude of your two- or three-bedroom condo, complete with private balcony, without sacrificing all the fun of being in the middle of the excitement of delicious restaurants, amusing attractions and beach shopping.

Beautiful beach view! Close to the beach! Comfortable beds! Excellent security. We enjoyed our stay. Make note: there are no curtains by the balcony doors to pull to at night for privacy. There are no extra blankets. I like to sleep with more than a sheet and light blanket. I recommend bringing more blankets. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We will stay here again if we are in the area.

This Airbnb was perfect. It is just a short walk to the main restaurants, bars, and shopping. They had everything you could ever need and communicated effectively. Will be back!

The check in code was 10 digits long which isn't a huge deal but I don't like taking my phone to the beach or pool, but I had to every time so that I'd remember the code. I messaged them multiple times asking about towels, (before we left and while we were there) on if I'd need to bring my own, if we were able to swap them out for clean ones with house keeping (there's no housekeeping lol), but never got a reply at all. The walls around what I'd call the master room bed were very dusty and so was on top of the fridge (I'm tall so i could see that). And lastly, we noticed a wet spot on the carpet in the smaller bedroom, a little later it was bigger so i messaged them to let them know I think something is leaking, and sent a photo, the night before checkout. No reply. I messaged again the next day before checking out that the wet area is bigger, added a photo and told them it smells like sewage and still no reply. We checked out approx. 8 hours ago and have not heard anything.
