Overview

This property is situated in the beautiful Gulf Coast area known for its miles of powder-soft, sugar-white sand, sparkling emerald-green waters, and a treasure trove of amusements. Fishing is a fantastic activity when vacationing here. Learn everything you need to know about charter boat fishing, inshore fishing on the back bays, renting and/or docking your own boat, visiting artificial reefs either by boat or diving excursion, and the types of fish you're likely to hook. Take your catch to one of our outstanding seafood restaurants where they'll prepare it for you. Or, make use of your property's fully-equipped kitchen to serve up the bounty.

Golfers love the area, thanks to the nine signature golf courses within a short drive of the beach. History comes alive here. From Fort Morgan to Perdido Key to nearby Mobile or Pensacola, and all points in between, there are many opportunities to explore the unique international culture and history of the area. This is a shopper's paradise, with dozens of unique beach boutiques and major shopping complexes. Two popular shopping destinations are the shops at Tanger Outlets, situated just north of the beach, as well as The Wharf in Orange Beach, where you'll find shops, restaurants, a movie theater, and more.

For those who want to slow things down a bit, there are numerous day spas in the area that are ready to help you relieve stress with massages, facials, and salon services sure to make your vacation feel extra lavish. If digging into nature is on the agenda, visit the backcountry trails, go kayaking or canoeing, and explore the Gulf State Park or Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. There are miles and miles of paved and natural paths that invite you to immerse yourself in the area's various ecosystems.

When it comes to entertaining the little ones (and the big kids, too!), visit The Park at OWA, with its heart-racing amusement park rides and midway-style games; spend the day at Waterville USA and zoom down giant waterslides, laze around the lazy river, and let the littles splash around in WAWA World; enjoy a round of miniature golf; jump and play at a trampoline park, or visit one of several fun arcades in the area. With so many options for fun along the Gulf Coast, your family's vacation can be as high-energy or as slow-paced as you desire.

After your adventures outside your vacation home come to a close, come back to a space brimming with natural light and stunning views. Lounge comfortably in the living room area and watch your favorite shows on the TV there. On cooler days, sit in one of the chairs in front of the fireplace or walk out to the balcony and gaze at the picturesque watery backdrop. Make yourself or the group a snack and indulge at the dining table as you reflect on the fun you had earlier. Feel free to use the bar and provided glasses for a refreshing drink as well. As the day comes to a close, take your pick from one of the three bedrooms. The primary in particular is eye-catching, as it has its own private balcony (complete with a view of the gulf), a TV, and its own bathroom. Enjoy the sunset on the balcony furniture before retiring to bed for the evening.

Set right on the beach in a quieter, smaller complex, this spacious, well-appointed condo offers fantastic ocean views, easy beach access, roomy living areas and balconies, a stocked kitchen, washer/dryer and a pool — ideal for families. Clean, comfortable beds and attentive staff make stays easy, while the building’s intimate size means less crowding.

Will be staying here again in the future. Very roomy and enjoyable!

Perfect location close to EVERYTHING! Exactly what I expected for what a good deal we got. Very very very nice location. Beautiful ocean view. Not a long walk to the beach at all.

Honestly everything was nice.

We had an amazing stay! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the view was absolutely beautiful. The location was perfect—close to restaurants, shopping, and just steps from the beach. Check-in was easy, and the hosts were great to work with. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Gulf Shores!

Well, we went for a whole week was supposed to be a washing machine there there was it there was but it was broken and t

The ONLY thing we liked about this place was the location.

The property manager and everyone else lied. We went for a whole week. We didn’t bring as many clothes because there’s a washing machine. Well NOT. They did have one, but it didn’t work it even had the sign do not use and they didn’t even let us know that the washing machine was out so we didn’t bring your clothes because we thought we had a washing machine. We kept getting the run over the rundown saying that maintenance is coming to fix it blah blah blah. No we had to go buy a new clothes towels. It took three days to get clean towels. I mean it was horrible and then they said we double booked but when we double booked, they canceled one lf them and canceled the wrong one. We had 10 people total and they said that they could just buy our food, but it said that they only had seven more people. It would cost us more money because we had only booked for seven people instead of the full 10 when they canceled the wrong one then that’s not even the worst part we find pills we found like four pills well we didn’t find them. My daughters had filmed them and I called the number and all they said was OK we let them know. They did not once tell us anything about the pills. Nothing what if my kids would’ve swallowed the pills I mean, I would’ve known what they took and yeah, still to this day, they still have yet said anything about us finding blue pills in there along with other peoples belongings. The place was not clean. It was the worst vacation we have ever went on and the places needs renovated. It’s rundown. I mean, they have a water that’s just staying underneath the garage for days. It’s it’s just nasty.
