Perfect Location!

First of all, Theresa was a wonderful host. When our trip started out rocky due to an accident, she was so prompt with responding to my message about potentially getting into the condo a few hours early. The condo is not huge, but offered the perfect amount of space for our family of five (which includes three teenagers). Tropical Isles offered a nice, small size where we didn’t have to wait long on the elevator or spend a ton of time going between the pool/beach/room. Having a bathroom within the pool area was a major plus! The walkway to the beach was nice and we just loved having a beautiful view of the Gulf and pool right from our balcony. Tropical Isles was just a short two block walk away from The Hangout and all of the shops and restaurants. This was our second trip to Gulf Shores and this will be the condo we will come back to again and again! Thanks so much, Theresa!

Spring Break

Property was a perfect location for all of our favorite places in Gulf Shores. We like to park our car and walk all week, and you can't be at how central this building was. The condo itself is exactly as described (and noted in all the great reviews!). It was very clean, the building's common areas were as well. Everything we needed was provided in th condo and the communication with the owner was super fast and easy. Check in was a breeze. Overall, one of our favorite places we have stayed in Gulf Shores - HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great experience.

This was our first visit to Gulf Shores and we had a great time!This condo was ideal for us. It’s quite, it’s right on a beautiful clean white sand beach, it’s within walking distance to a number of restaurants and shopping, and it has a beautiful view of the gulf right from the balcony where I watched the sunrise on most mornings. Checking in and out was very easy and straightforward. We were also very happy with the location and size of the building itself. We made a number of “day trips“ and found it was very easy to get around. Plus it’s close to Gulf State Park, grocery stores, and only about 20 minutes to the ferry. Theresa is an excellent host. If we ever had a question her response was immediate. We would highly recommend Theresa and this condo for your stay in Gulf Shores.

A great condo

This condo is really spacious for a one bedroom unit, and the half bath is an added plus. The king bed in the bedroom was really comfortable and the whole condo was spotless. The view from the balcony is beautiful. It is close to many great restaurants. The check-in and check-out instructions from the owner were very clear. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location! It was our first time to Gulf Shores and it was wonderful. Everything was in walking distance and the beach was absolutely gorgeous. The white sand beaches and the turquoise waters were just magical. We loved walking on the beach and in the water. Having coffee on the balcony and watching the sunrise was spectacular. Theresa was a delightful host and she makes herself available for any questions you may have. We totally recommend this property and would definitely stay here again in the future. ❤️

Just Perfect

Perfect place to enjoy the beach. I'm a clean freak and I notice when properties are not up to my standards. This property was so clean I didn't have to break out my cleaning supplies. That's a win in my book. Communicating with Theresa was easy and pleasant. The bed was comfortable as was the unit's sofas. We so enjoyed being able to view the beach from the balcony. Without any prompting, my husband said "I'd rent this place again." That says it all.
