Our stay at Wilson’s Bay Retreat was fantastic from start to finish. We've stayed at Bel Sole and its neighboring towers at the end of West Beach several times in the past and this was the best stay. The condo was spotless, beautifully maintained, and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel like home. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked — everything we needed and more — which made cooking and relaxing in the space such a pleasure. Communication with Blake was top notch; he was responsive, kind, and clearly takes great pride in making guests feel welcome. Every detail was carefully considered, and it really showed. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would happily return!

The views are absolutely awesome! It feels like you are in two different places between the lagoon in the back and the beach to the front. I am an early riser so the sun rises are gorgeous reflecting on the water! I can’t say enough great stay.

We enjoyed our stay and Blake was great to work with. He responded quickly to all of our questions. The condo is beautiful and had everything and more that we needed for the week. Highly recommend!

This was our first family vacation in a long time. We really enjoyed our time! The location was excellent! Some parts of the area are grossly over populated on the beach, not so here. This area of Gulf Shores is private beach only. Not all properties across the road have beach access, but Bele Sole does. It rained a couple of days while we were in town and the pools (outdoor and indoor) were enjoyed those days. The condo was well stocked with unexpected items like games, Ziplock bags, cleaning supplies etc. There were also expected items like umbrellas, chairs, a cart, boogie boards etc. We had brought our own so we did not use these, but we’re delightfully surprised.The condo is gorgeous! It’s decorations are up to date. The ceilings are extra high, walkways extra wide so the space was larger than pics let on. It is very beautiful and well maintained.We encountered only a few oddities. There were lots of extra pillows, but no extra cases. Also, the condo was very very clean except for the sofa sleeper (probably a deficiency of the cleaning crew, not the owner who was great). The sheets were not so clean, very linty. I had to wash them twice to get them clean. The pillow cases were old and did not match. One had an ink stain. My teenage son complained of sand in the bed. We lifted the mattress to shake it out to find Pepridge Farms Gold Fish under the mattress - maybe the real culprit. The mattress was no more than 3 inches thick and he had a miserable sleep. My husband and I traded with him the last two nights so that everyone could have a taste of a good vacation. Everything else was immaculate. All other beds were very comfortable. It was such a misfit item. Going forward I would advertise this as accommodations for 8, not 10 unless the mattress is replaced with something thicker. One other piece that didn’t bother me, but concerns me. There were damages to little things in the condo like the pulls on the blinds (missing on some), water marks on the table and dresser, two patio chairs with ripping fabric. All were usable, not noticeable, and did not cause any pain. My home has these too. I just wasn’t sure if we’d be dinged for these preexisting damages or if these were pre recorded. Should I call or text a list? This is my first time using VRBO so I wasn’t sure.Any how... I’d stay here again with fewer people (truly sleeps 8). It was very nice, except for the sleeper sofa. The owner was very communicative and helpful.
