  : It's so close to the ocean and the lagoon. It was so comfy to stay there. The place is beautiful and you can walk to the beach. It's also quiet and you can hear the sounds of the ocean.
  : The trash was full to the point of overflowing when we got there.

  : Everything!!! It was very private and very quiet. The cottage we stayed in was very well kept up and the property around the cottage was really well manicured.
  : The only thing I would say that I didn’t like would be that the little lagoon sign by the road did not have any lights on it at night. I passed the drive several times due to not enough lighting by the road.

  : Was a fairly new place. Builders grade, but nice enough for the price. Kitchen was well equipped. I liked that the vehicles were under the cottage. For the short time we were there and the purpose we used it for, it was a lovely cottage.
  : Had a Kuerig coffee pot with no K-cups or a basket to make coffee. Place was pretty clean, but the railing on the many stairs really needed a clean ,as did the baseboards. Place was at the beach and there was an outside mat, but it was so covered up in sand that wiping feet was useless. perhaps an inside the door mat? There really was not much of a view unless you were on balcony and that was not much. The cottages faced one another, so not much privacy. Overall the place was pleasant and my family enjoyed being able to gather and cook together. I will say though, that I lived in the area for years and was amazed at how much Gulf Shores has grown! Really too much. Such a shame that it is that overbuilt. I was not even sure how to get to the beach! I have to say that the 5;30am text about the codes etc the day of my check-in was a bit early!!!Thought the cleaning fee was a bit steep.

  : The location is good. It is a pretty condo. It is just a short stroll to the beach. The lagoon was also near for the fishermen in our family. It was quiet with friendly neighbors.
  : We killed several roaches in the kitchen. The main master bed was squeaky and not very comfortable. There was hair in two of the three showers, prior to first use. We got locked out one day and had to call, but when we called no one answered. Luckily they answered the second time we called and they reset code. There are lots of stairs, for those that have trouble climbing stairs. This was not an issue with our family though!
