He was a very nice man. Helped us tremendously! The view was terrific

We had such a great stay at this little beachside studio! While the condo was a bit dated, it was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. It’s right on the beach, and having access to a private stretch of sand was amazing — quiet, peaceful, and never crowded.We loved how convenient everything was — shops, restaurants, and amenities were just a few minutes away, but it still felt like a tucked-away spot. Gulf Shores was only about a 20-minute drive, so it was easy to enjoy all the fun there and then come back to unwind by the water.The sunsets were amazing, and we spent a lot of time just sitting on the beach soaking it all in. If you’re looking for a laid-back, comfortable place with a beautiful private beach, this is the perfect spot. We’d definitely stay again!

This location was exactly as described, and very easy to find. The guard shack/check in was really quick, the employees very helpful and friendly. There is tremendous water pressure in the shower. All amenities work as expected. The balcony is small but it is enough for two people. It was very convenient to have Sassy Bass on the ground floor; we ate there three times. The only drawback we found is the placement of the bed which makes it really difficult to get in and out of the bed since there is very little space between the bed and the wall. The WIFI did take a while to connect; had to open a browser page to get it to actually function. Contacted the host and got a quick reply. We had a great time and will hopefully return in the future.

The listing stated there was a washer and dryer, which was very important to me, in addition to a laundry facility. However, the unit only had access to a communal laundry facility. The unit itself could also use a thorough deep cleaning and updated furnishings—some of them were a bit wobbly, and the cookware was burned. While the beds and couch were fine, the kitchen needs some attention.I felt quite misled by the "sunsuite" description; it was undeniably a studio. The only private space in the unit was the shower/toilet room. Overall, the unit wasn't a complete disappointment, but I wasn't thrilled with it either. It was just okay. My main feeling is that both the listing and the unit itself need some updating and better cleaning, though it ultimately sufficed for our family.Furthermore, the listing encourages its size for a small family of five (which we are), but we were only provided with one roll of toilet paper, five towels, five washcloths, and zero dishwashing cloths for a week-long stay. It hardly feels like a vacation when I have to spend every other day washing towels and running to the convenience store for basic essentials. That being said, the location is great, and while the balcony is small, the view is wonderful and we enjoyed our trip.
