Very nice view from balcony
We really enjoyed our long weekend stay here. Loved the split floor plan of the condo. Also loved being able to see the bay & gulf from the balcony. Thanks for a great visit

Perfect for us!
My husband and I, Mother in law and brother in law stayed for a week. We enjoyed how peaceful it was away from the tourist traps. We shopped when we wanted, but then retreated to the quiet of the resort. Had everything we needed. Kitchen over stocked with useful tools for cooking and eating in, which we did a lot. Balcony great for afternoon. Shaded except for morning to noon. Beautiful place to view the sunrises. A short walk to the beach, unit was pretty far from the elevator, but we got used to the walk down the hall. Overall a great location!! We would love to stay again! Maybe next year? Thanks for a great place to vacation!

Beautiful ocean/beachfront view!
We stayed in unit 5507 located in the plantation dunes building the week of July 17, for 6 nights/7 days. Our overall experience was great, the owner of this unit, Marty King, was great to work with and was very helpful. He made sure from start to finish our experience was a positive one, which it was. We are a family of 5 and it suited us perfectly for a week's stay. The unit has a great view of the ocean/beach, and was very clean when we arrived. There is also a lot of beach accessories provided by the owner such as beach chairs, floaties, toys, etc located on the balcony to take with you while on the beach. While the unit does need a few minor cosmetic repairs and updating, the overall condo was clean, quaint, colorful, and welcoming. All the beds were very comfortable, even the sleeper sofa according to our oldest daughter, who's 16. The kitchen was also fully stocked with all the cooking neccissities you need. The only negative thing we noticed as far as the kitchen was concerned was the oven. It literally took the oven about 45 mins to heat up to 375 degrees. So if you want to use the oven for any reason, be prepared to wait a while before using. Not sure what was wrong with it. Our condo was quiet for the most part, the only time we noticed any noise from any other units around us was our last full day there the unit above us was fairly noisy. It sounded like they were running & jumping a lot, day & evening time. But otherwise noise was not an issue. On a side note, I left my favorite pillow from home at the condo when packing up & leaving, but did not notice it missing until we were 12 hours away. I called Marty and let him know the situation, he then contacted his cleaning lady who had found my pillow and had it shipped back to me, within a week! And at no charge to me! As small as that may seem to some, it meant a lot to me that Marty was willing to go above & beyond to help me out and get my favorite pillow back to me! With all that being said, we will most likely return to this unit again & stay the next time we book our vacation back in Gulf Shores! Highly recommend!

A great time again!
We had a great time in this condo. Marty is great and responds quickly to questions. The condo is nice with a view of the beach. We had to move the bar stools aside to have enough room in the living room, but it was very comfortable and that was an easy solution. We will be back again!
