We had a great stay overall and really enjoyed our time in Gulf Shores. The condo was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the location made for a wonderful beach vacation.The host was very helpful throughout our stay. While responses to questions were sometimes a little delayed, they always replied and were willing to help.A few suggestions that would make future stays even better:* A stick vacuum would be a huge improvement. With everyone coming in from the beach, it was difficult to keep up with the sand using only a broom.* The shared laundry was convenient, but guests should know it costs 1.75 per wash and 1.50 per dry. If you're staying for a week, you'll likely be washing beach towels frequently, so those costs can add up.* The cookware could definitely use an update. The pots and pans were in poor condition and unusable for cooking, so I ended up making a trip to Walmart to purchase new ones for my family. The kitchen utensils could also be refreshed.Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and would consider staying here again if the kitchen items were updated. With a few small improvements, this would easily be a five-star rental.
