Everything you Need with a Million Dollar View

We never tired of the fabulous view—from the 11th floor right on the Gulf. Incredibly spacious, nice kitchen, a truly beautiful beach. We stayed for about a month and were sad to leave. Easy to walk to the wonderful trails at Gulf State Park.

Perfect Vacation

This condo was perfect for our needs as a family that included 2 children and 6 adults, including my 90 year old mother. Everyone had their own space and we felt very well provided for. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals. We enjoyed the beach and the pool everyday. We were also close to grocery stores, shopping, entertainment, etc. Thanks for sharing your wonderful condo!

Wonderful Condo

This condo was wonderful with plenty of space for everyone, awesome views and great location. The owner/manager was fantastic about contacting us right after we rented the condo to answer and early questions we may have and then again about a week before our stay. Everything was as promised, no disappointments. I would definitely recommend this condo for anyone looking for a relaxed stay on the beach.

Comfortable, Clean and Amazing Views!

The condo was just as listed! Very comfortable home with everything we needed. Communication with the homeowner was great… they are very friendly, helpful people. The boardwalk to the beach was great and a short walk! The condo was very clean, beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. I would recommend this home for a relaxing Gulf Shores vacation!

The property was as described except the kitchen utensils, pans, etc were way beyond belief! Incredible view. Construction next door, but rooms are well insulated, never heard a thing. Laura was more than accommodating, always prompt. We plan to return. 😀

Best View

The pictures of the view from the condo don’t do it justice. From the couch you can see the beach for a very long way and down the beach road and Gulf Shores Parkway (all the way to Waterville). The owners were absolutely wonderful. There was anything you could need in the kitchen and then some. Unlike the other high rises we’ve stayed in, we never had to wait for elevators! The condo was furnished well. It is my favorite place we’ve stayed in GS and we will definitely be back.

We loved this property. It is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully equiped. It was like being in someone's home rather than a rental. The mattresses were good which we all appreciated. The location is very close to all the fun things to do in Gulf Shores. Beautiful views, wonderful beaches and super condo!

Family Vacation

The condo was great for our 10 person family vacation! Laura was excellent to work with. The elevator situation was frustrating at times. There were 2 however at times, it took a long time to get an elevator. At one point, there were lines of people waiting for elevators. On check in day, there were no utility carts available to haul our stuff and we waited in line over 15 minutes for an available elevator.

Colonnades at Gulf Shores

Property was for the most part at listed. There were only two things that were Negative about our stay. 1. You are on Camera. We were not aware that we would be monitored as we entered and left the condo as there is a camera INSIDE the condo door. This set an uneasy feel throughout a part of our family that we also had to check to see where else there were camera monitors. Made some of our guests feel uncomfortable throughout our stay which is not a feeling people look for when looking for a relaxing family stay. 2. We were told that there was extensive cleaning throughout the condo. The bath tubs were still dirty and there was debris in some of the beds from what we assume were previous guests. Otherwise the condo had amenities that were nice for our stay. We had access to a Sauna and Gym as well as grills located on the bottom level outside the condo. We always enjoy Gulf Shores for the location is nice and the general " crowd" that is there is fairly calm and respectful. We do recommend staying in Gulf Shores however would consider staying other places on our next visit due to the surveillance camera.

Beautiful condo with Spectacular views

This 4 bedroom condo was immaculate and stocked better than most homes! The views were spectacular especially during night thunderstorms. The beach has fine white sand with turquoise green water. A beach bar/restaurant was just down the beach that was great for lunch/early dinner. Pool at condo was very nice. Beach was clean and not over crowded. Condo could have more luggage carts available. Owner was very responsive to any of our needs.

Nice location; all amenities

Very nice condo. Adults used weight room and enjoyed it. Patio furniture was plentiful and very sturdy. It was nice having the “raised” view. It was also very quiet. The inside furniture was nice and comfortable. The only negative is that the pool was small and really designed for standing, not swimming.

A beautiful relaxing location

Wow, we were thoroughly impressed by this lovely condominium. It was clean, well maintained, and luxurious. We were a family of 8 and this place was very spacious and comfortable to accomodate all of us. We loved the beautiful balcony where we had breakfast every morning. The 11th floor is great! High enough to eliminate noise pollution, but still low enough to hear the waves and enjoy the views and watch the dolphins swim by. There isn't anything negative to say about our stay here. The location is close to everything and convenient and the beach is nice and clean with soft white sand!!! We definitely plan to return. Thank you for making our vacation a wonderful experience ! We were very pleasantly suprised!!!
