I had *the* best week - this is going to be my new go-to vacation spot in Gulf Shores! The unit was exactly as described and very clean. And the location is great too! I loved everything about it, including how communicative the host was. They checked on me the day I arrived and several times throughout the week to make sure everything was perfect. The linens felt brand new and the complementary toiletries were really nice - not your standard options. The beach is so lovely, as is the boardwalk. And Ike's Beach Service is 100% the way to go! I also found that going mid-May was perfect b/c spring break was behind us, most kids were still in school, college kids hadn't arrived yet, and Memorial Day was a week away. The beach was quiet, traffic was lighter and the wait at restaurants was much more palatable than high season! The water was a little cold though, but b/c it wasn't as hot you didn't have to RUN to the water to cool off. Don't get me wrong - I will still go later in the summer if that's how things line up.Thanks for a great week - I can't wait to return!
