Property is exactly as pictured and great location! Plenty of parking always available. Very clean with plenty of pots, pans, plates, and silverware to cook. We will add this to our saved list to stay again!
We"ve been to southern sands several times. This was by far, the best furnished units we've ever had... real furniture, comfortable beds. Good pans and utensils. Host extremely easy to communicate with. Beds assortment worked perfectly for us! Housekeeper does fantastic job. Thank you so much for sharing this home away from home.
Location, location, location. This property is within walking distance of the heart of Gulf Shores. My kids loved skim boarding on the beach. I really like that it is a smaller property. If you are looking for a busy, hectic resort style condo this isnât t it. If you are looking for a true relaxing vacation this is your spot.
We loved our stay at Southern Sands. The condo was perfect for our family. We love staying in a smaller and less crowded facility. We always had chairs at the pool and it was never too crowded. The location was great and the view from the balcony was amazing. Weâll definitely consider a return trip.
We had a great time. The condo was just as advertised. It was beach front and close to many local restaurants. The beach was not too crowded. The view was perfect. Looking forward to many more stays here!
Room 203 was great. Had a beautiful ocean view. The shopping cart and luggage racks made transporting groceries and luggage easy. The BBQ grilling area was nice to have as well as the pool. We would love to come back again!
The condo was in the perfect location for a family get away. Close to so many activities! Beach access was awesome and the pool was a perfect size for our son! Everything was clean and in great condition. The elevator was out for a while on our second day but was back up and runnIng quickly. We will definitely book again!!
This was our first family trip to Gulf Shores and this condo made the overall trip fantastic. It was spacious and has everything you need for a home away from home. It was clean and you could even see the beach right from the balcony. The location was great as there are many restaurants and shopping writhing walking distance and itâs right on the beach.The owners had great communication the entire time and we couldnât have been happier with our stay. We will always keep this condo in mind for future trips!
Room was clean and just as described. Beds are comfortable and condo gets nice and cool at night for sleeping. Location is wonderful as you are able to walk to several restaurants and shops.
Everything you need is included in the kitchen - even cooking spray and aluminum foil. Check-In was a breeze and the starter essentials helped a lot!
We absolutely loved our stay here! It was just as advertised and so clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were soft. We loved being able to walk anywhere we needed from dinner (Bahama Bobâs was delicious and friendly and the Hangout was a ton of fun) to ice cream (the little shop across the street was tasty and had a fun variety of toppings) to the beach (we loved not having to cross the street, and our first morning we walked down at sunrise and saw dolphins!) . Our kids are ages 4, 7 and 9. We had PLENTY of room. We canât wait to return and would definitely stay here again.
I love that it is so close to the "T" (where Hwy 59 hits Beach Blvd) and it was impressively clean and decorated so cute. It is an older building, so you can hear the neighbors more than at other places, but it wasn't bad. We sleep with white noise, so wasn't too much of an issue for us. Washer and dryer aren't in the unit, but are right across from it. We didn't need them during our stay because there were plenty of linens in the unit. We would stay here again.
Everything about this condo was great except for the rock hard beds. We all had a hard time sleeping and had back aches. I would not recommend this condo only because sleeping is a important part of vacation and being sore from the beds is no fun. I would only rent this unit again if the matresses are replaced.
The condo was great for our stay at the beach for our baseball world series. The location is great. We enjoyed walking to several restaurants. The view from the balcony is beautiful. The elevator did break one day, but they had it repaired very quick. Host is very fast to respond. We would stay here again.
We wanted a getaway to Gulf Shores for a few days and found this to be the perfect place. The condo was well stocked and clean. Nice view of the Gulf from the balcony. We walked to the Hangout for shrimp. We drove to Bahama Bobâs the next night but it is actually a shorter distance than the Hangout, just in the other direction. We plan to return again soon!
The property was exactly as listed. It was perfect for our family. The host gave great instructions about the u-turn needed to enter the complex. It was a great location near the shops and the Hang Out. It was just steps to the beach and pool was never crowded. The layout of the condo was exactly as listed and worked well for our family. The beds were comfortable. There were extra hooks in the bathrooms for swimwear. The condo had everything we needed and you can tell the host is ready for renters.
We love the beach and the convenient location of Southern Sands is perfect. We've owned our unit since 1997 and have loved every minute of our time in Gulf Shores. Now that we are retired, we can barely stay away! Our children and grandchildren love it as much as we do. Come visit us soon at Southern Sands 203!
We fell in love with the great view, the beautiful beach and the smallness of this complex. There are only 18 units, which means the beach is never over crowded and there is ample parking. There are many great restaurants and souvenir shops within walking distance. The convenience is just what we were looking for. This complex is family friendly and snowbirds are welcome!
From Southern Sands you can walk to Pink Pony Pub, The Hangout, Lauria's, Desotos, The Steamer, and Sea N Suds. There are also several souvenir shops along the way.
