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.

Perfect location and right on the beach. It was not very clean. It could really use a paint job, beds are very hard, and new furniture. Had some issues with getting in earlier than 4:00 but made the best of it. Thank you to Ketisha (a young hard worker at the shore island ) keep singing and thank you for all your help!

Great location place could use some updating. Pillows etc. Initial entrance was a bit confusing with lock box/key pad on door handle. Good value get what you pay for.

I will start by saying the location is great! Right in walking distance of good restaurants and shops. The beach access was also great. The room seems a little outdated and feels like it needs a deep clean. Sheets had stains, the fans in the bathroom didn’t work, and there were holes in the ceiling. The counter top was oddly placed and irritating when trying to get in and out of the door with things in your hands. For the door to correctly lock, it had to be placed a certain way. The beds are comfortable but extremely loud. I feel like you pay for what you get

We had a great week at this condo. Beach was absolutely perfect and the condo has chairs and beach toys available for use. The home has everything you need for cooking etc. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the bed frames are loud and need to be replaced. Other than that it was perfect!
