Sandalwood: Sea Oats-3BR 2BA-Gulf/ Pool View-Beach & Lagoon Access-King Bed
SANDALWOOD @ Sea Oats is a relaxing retreat on the quiet end of Gulf Shores in the beautiful Sea Oats complex. Enjoy the beach just steps away with deeded beach access; and also the lagoon with piers, perfect for fishing, boating, kayaking or simply enjoying the sunset. The unit has views of one of the pools and the Gulf of Mexico. You can sleep 8 very comfortably in the bedrooms but there is also a sleeper sofa in the living room for any additional guests as well as an available and comfortable air mattress. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook meals in, but the area has some great restaurants if you prefer to go out. Additionally, the complex features a covered BBQ grilling area on the lagoon front. There is a full-size washer/dryer in the hallway closet, which is also stocked with beach towels for use during your stay. There is even a welcome guide that provides you with information on all the Alabama Gulf Coast has to offer.
The place is very outdated and was not clean when we got there there was dead water bugs under beds and in living room there was piss stains under the couch and the water pressure sucks the location was amazing just the hotel needs work
Very clean, very nice pool, not fun walking up stairs every time but we managed! Communication wasnât the best (getting back in a timely manner) Overall.. good stay!
We truly had a lovely stay and the owner was so great. There was a couple things that couldâve made a better stay with having an infant ( a few broken tiles in bathroom, poor water pressure) and of course the peninsula is super packed but overall the stay was amazing and we enjoyed every second
We really enjoyed Jennifers property, and she laid everything out so that we would be comfortable with everything :) Parking is nice and its located in a nice seemingly quiet neighborhood! The pool was closed but we only stayed one night so it wasnt much of an issue :) It was about an 8 minute drive to downtown gulf shores so nicely located!
This is the third summer we've stayed in this condo at Sea Oats. It's spacious and perfect for families with a view of the ocean and pool. The condo itself is clean, it could use some updating but is nice for those with little ones as there is plenty of space to move around. The washer/dryer in unit is a lifesaver. We love the location of this condo as it's right between the lagoon and the beach, neither are a far walk. Everyone is friendly and we have a great time each year! We will be back!
For the price, it was decent. However, the kitchen had sugar ants and gnats.The bathroom floors & tub need to be upgraded. The furniture in the living room need to be cleaned. Furthermore, the pull out bed in the living room was not worth pulling out. You get what, you pay for.
Very dated. Not very clean. Carpet in bedrooms was dirty and furniture was old and stained. Great location and close to beach with a nice pool. Just old and not maintained.
The condo was clean with lots of room for my husband, me and 4 teenagers. It had great access to the beach! It is a few miles down from all the restaurants in Gulf Shores, but the road was less busy and the beach was less busy as well. The pool is very nice and clean. The kitchen is well stocked. The listing said there were beach towels provided in the condo, but there were none. Make sure you pack towels! Overall, it was great and we would definitely stay at Sea Oats again.
We found a live roach in the bathroom. Owner said she would someone out as son as possible. We never saw anyone. There were no beach towels as stated on the website. The first night we cooked we found that the garbage disposal leaked and if you run the dishwasher it leaked even worse. I told the owner about this and she thanked me for telling her. Then she sad she will get it fixed. The reason I gave a 3star is because our grandchildren had so much fun in the pool and we did have a beach view. This was not a good experience.
There is no main floor unit. The unit is on second floor wirh 32 steps. 2 rolls of TP for 8 guest for 5 days. No dish soap/dishwasher soap or laundry soap but requested us to wash towels.
This place was so awesome for our group. It was such a short walk to beach. We were able to escape for sunrise or sunset to read or walk around. Super easy to get to and away from business of spring breakers. We were on a quiet side of beach and didnât have to fight crowds. Overall we would stay again if we visited Gulf Shores Again!
Overall we had a great time staying here. Communication with the property owner was quick and very helpful. Just a couple of things worth mentioning. It is on the second floor which can be difficult when hauling in your luggage or groceries. The master bedroom mattress has worn out spots that were so uncomfortable that my husband and I slept sideways on the mattress hoping to help with back pain. The pull out couch is not able to be slept on due to feeling every spring through it and the amount of urine stains on it. If you dont need the pull out, you should be fine. I would stay here again with some upgrades to the mattresses. The place as a whole could use some TLC but we spent most of our time on the beach.
It was a beautiful / clean and nice place but most people in the complex live there and are older and DO NOT like college kids. If anything just donât bring a large group or talk/play music after 9pm. Neighbors will give you dirty looks. Check in was very difficult as well, we could not get in contact with host until hours after check in, and when contacted days before got no response. We also had problems with the parking passes (not enough and expired). Property manager and host were actually very nice just hard to contact.
The home was beautiful and communication with the host when necessary was very easy and efficient. (The only time they were contacted was for information on check in, we had no issues.) The area is very nice, quiet and convenient. Overall highly recommend. Something to mention, I did not realize while booking it was located on the second floor, so keep that in mind if you are not as physically able for stairs.
The property was comfortable and in a great location, very easily walk to the beach. The queen beds in 2 of the rooms were super hard but some enjoy that I suppose. Overall I would def stay again. We even left some fun beach toys in the closet for the next guest as it seems that was the thing to do since it was full of toys and floaties.
