This was our 3rd time at Gulf Place, the condo unit, pool, common space and staff were great. So it's hard to say this but the vibe in downtown Gulf Shores has changed, we've been staying in the area for 30 years, we noticed the change as soon as we got in and unloaded our cars. There were kids selling stuff out of their cars as they circled around the Hangout and every day there was an element that definitely were not there just to have fun. Of course there was the shooting the first Monday we were there also, thankfully the victim is supposed to recover and the shooter was arrested. Every day of the week there was something going on, from girls being harassed, to gangs of kids trolling around looking for trouble, it was not the Gulf Shores we've known and loved and will not be coming back. I hope for the community and the businesses this gets resolved. Some may say it was just the spring break crowd but I've never seen a spring crowd like that in 30 years. I appreciate the police presence and their approach but GS is a small town and they can't be everywhere all the time. Again, this rating is about the surrounding area, not the complex, if you want to stay shut in the complex, its a beautiful space.
