As this was our first time being in Gulf Shores, we didn't really have crazy high expectations. The condo that we booked was wonderful. It was clean, it had all that we needed and it was quiet. There was a point early in the trip that we heard the elevator wasn't working, so I was nervous about that. We were on the fourth floor, so we chose to use the stairs at all times just to be safe. All in all, the kids loved the bunk beds, the other bed claimed to be a queen but it was certainly a full, so that was a little small but we made it work. All in all, it was great to be right on the beach and close to the town for all the activities. We also appreciated the informational material left in the condo. Things to see and do with coupons! We were very happy.
