We loved our stay here! The location was perfect! We were so close to lots of restaurants and within a few steps of the beach! The condo was really nice and had everything we needed. The view from the balcony was beautiful! We would definitely stay here again!
We spent three nights in this wonderful property! We especially enjoyed the view of the ocean and the balcony. We also found the living room to be nice and cozy. Highly recommend!
With a family of 2 younger children, this was the perfect location overlooking the beach. The pool was relaxing and the beach is right outside the door!
My mom, daughter, and I went on a quick 4 day beach getaway trip before school starts and our stay was great! Condo is clean, well-stocked, very convenient to groceries and fun activities, and easy access to the pool and beach. We wouldnât have minded a boardwalk to the beach to make transporting our chairs, umbrella, etc a little easier, but it wasnât a dealbreaker. We will definitely look at staying there again!
Overall we had a great vacation. The condo itself could use a little sprucing up. There was mold on the air vents. It smelled a little old when we got there. Great location to the beach and attractions.
the property was clean and right on the beach, comfortable beds the bathtub in one of the bathrooms is a little worn, other bathroom has updated beautiful shower.
The only things that would make the place perfect would be a walkway to beach for those who may need that, and washer and dryer in the room instead of shared laundry,
I will stay here again. The view was absolutely amazing and about 5 feet to the beach! The condo was close to all restaurants we wanted to try. David was awesome when I messaged him, didnât have to wait for a response!
Loved the close and easy access to beach. Really enjoyed the ocean view from the extra large deck. The condo itself could use some tlc and updating. The price was great and overall our visit was great.
The description and pictures were accurate in every way.
The property was clean and well-maintained.
Lots of good eating places close by. We think "Doc's", on Canal Rd. has the best keylime pie and fried shrimp.
There are plenty of activities in the area.
We will probably stay there again.
The condo was right on the beach between the Hangout and Bahama Bob's and within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. The view was amazing! It was clean and exactly as described. Plenty of parking and laundry facilities on site. We received quick responses from the owner when we had questions. The beds are adjustable so you are able to put the head of the bed up if needed and the mattresses were some of the most comfortable I've ever slept on while on vacation. We would definitely stay here again!
The unit was spacious and comfortable for my family of 6. It is so convenient to walk down one flight of stairs and basically be on the sand, no roads or parking lots to cross. There are plenty of dishes and pans to make your meals and the unit is in easy walking distance to several restaurants and ice cream places. We were a little disappointed that the pool was colder than the Ocean (April) and there was no hot tub even though the listing said there was. Overall though a great place to stay. The balcony was gorgeous with the perfect view of a palm tree and the ocean. We would stay there again!
Our room was absolutely adorable! Decorated so cute and was very comfortable. I honestly believe we had the best view of the Gulf. The private beach was perfect. We were so glad we didn't stay at all the other highrise condos. Southern Sands was very quiet and felt more personal. The great price compared to all the others I checked into had us worried what the property was going to be like but we were quickly satisfied when we opened our room and walked in. We will definitely come back! The Homeaway App was so helpful with our rental information and the Gulf Shores area.
There's not much that could have made our stay here better..... wait, I'm wrong. If we could have stayed longer, it would have been perfect!
Communication with the owner was easy and prompt regarding the wifi.
We were in Gulf Shores for an event and it was an easy 8 minute walk to the Hangout, where much of the event was held.
I was a bit surprised at no beach towels or coffee supplies provided, but there was complimentary laundry detergent, which came in handy.
Great unit in which to relax, do a little work and enjoy that white, sugar sand beach.
The view was the best, this two bedroom was close to everything....stairs, pool, washer and dryer, elevator, parking was easy. Close to everything but private too, air is cold, beds new and comfortable. Internet is super slow....didn't need it.......couch is broken down but I am sure a new one is on its way. Love the shaded area at pool. Best equipped kitchen I have ever had in a rental. Would live here.
Great location, close to beach, restaurants etc. Unit needs a lot of attention to cleanliness, hidebed very poor, needs to be propped up to sleep in. Bathroom drain plugged, tv in master wonât work, front door is very loose, keypad numbers wore off
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Gulf Shores. The condo is perfectly located right on the beach. We enjoyed watching the dolphins play in the morning as well as the diving pelicans and very sociable cranes. Each room has a view of the beach and ocean. The suite is very comfortable and has most amenities. For some reason, there was a shortage of saucepans so I had to cook pasta in a large crab pot. A minor inconvenience, but certainly not a detraction from the whole experience. We purchased some seafood from the Fresh Market. It is about a 10 minute drive from the condo, but well worth it for the freshness of their product.
David was great to wk with, he return our only call within 5 mins. To find out VRBO had drop the ball, they didnt send us the door lock code or any information we needed as far as check in and check out procedures. We as renters are paying VRBO an fee to book an condo and on this booking they drop the ball. I feel the owner as well as the renter did not recceive the benefits for which we were charged for. Thank you Daivd for taking up thier slack. My wife, 2 grandkids and i enjoy our stay there.
This property was one of my favorites out of many that I have stayed in over the past 30 years. The location was perfect, the condo was roomy and comfortable and the decor was lovely. We had to go to walmart at 10:30pm the first night to get sheets for the bed. The sheets had not been changed! There was sand at the foot of my bed and the spare sheets smelled musty like they'd been put away wet. All of the comforters and blankets smelled as if they'd not been washed in a long time and a lot of dust on cabinets and shelves. There was no parking pass which the owner did explain but also no parting instructions anywhere in the condo. I totally loved the place and would love to visit it again but hopefully the housekeeping staff will be updated by then.
We purchased Southern Sands on our trip to the beach the weekend we became engaged. My wife moved from Mobile to Demopolis then we moved to MS. In a few years when we retire we will be relocation permanently to the Gulf Shore/Orange Beach area
We love Southern Sands first floor view of the beach and the beautiful Gulf waters. We are close to the Pink Pony, The Hangout, Bahama Bobs and much more! We love the low density and the beach is not crowded like some to the larger complexes.
