Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful condo with us! Everything was so clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared — it truly felt like a home away from home. We really appreciated the extra touches and your quick communication throughout our stay. We had such a great time and would absolutely love to stay again in the future!

This place was everything we needed from my family of 5 including an infant. The refrigerator went out while we were there and they went over and beyond with getting a new one delivered the next day and offered to reimburse on any ruined food or what we spent on extra coolers and ice cream. The place is beautiful, beds a pretty comfy, and it’s just all around a great place hosted by even better people.

This was our family's first vacation at Gulf Shores and we were not disappointed. The condo is in a great location, far enough away from the hustle and bustle for quiet evenings, but close enough for a quick drive to many restaurants and entertainment. The beach is an easy 10 minute walk away too. We were also pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the condo was. They have really thought of everything. The beach cart, chairs, and umbrella really came in handy and the kitchen has anything you could ask for. Everything was nice and clean too. We would definitely recommend.

We truly enjoyed our stay—it felt just like home! The place was very clean, and the kitchen was fully equipped, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. We especially loved the pool—it was beautiful and very clean. From our mom, my husband and me, and our two boys—we all had a wonderful time and wished we could have stayed longer, but work called us back. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you, Darcy and Brad, for your wonderful hospitality! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a nice, safe environment just steps away from the beach.

Highly recommend! Short walk to white sand… only about 2 blocks which makes all the difference. Great beach that wasn’t too busy (even on holiday weekend). Also, Gulf Shores is now one of our favorite beach destinations because it is t crazy busy but there are a lot of good restaurants, seafood markets, and things to do in the area. Finally, the owners Brad And Darcy were very proactive messaging and making sure we had everything we needed. Very nice place that looked exactly like the pictures. Thanks Brad and Darcy! We hope to visit again.

The condo is very nice. Very comfy. Had everything we need. On the bottom floor. Loved the chairs outside on the porch. Perfect place to have a quiet and peaceful start to your day. Short walk to beach. It was great to some chairs and an umbrella to use. Washer and dryer were nice to have! Billing bed is super comfy!! Would definitely stay here again! Overall 10/10!

Nice place, fairly priced, with lots of little extras in the well equipped kitchen, keep it up Brad & Darcy. The Crock Pot was a huge plus for my winter stay. I changed to here from my Orange Beach Snowbird stay, very happy on this end of the beach. Sadly my stay ended early with a family emergency requiring my return North. I'll try this place again for sure.

My husband and I had a blast. The condo is close to all the excitement, yet far enough away for tranquility. Walking trail close to condo. The Beach house is less than a mile away and has different specials everyday. We stayed for the month of December and it was very peaceful in the area. Brad and Darcy are excellent communicators. 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom. Plenty of garbage bags. Hand soap was plentiful. My favorite was SO much dish soap, laundry pods, dishwasher pods. They didn’t need to supply so abundantly, but they did! Brad and Darcy clearly want you to relax and enjoy yourself, and we did ! Cable tv was appreciated. The chairs on porch were my husband’s favorite. Very comfortable beds!

Brad and Darcy's place was spectacular! We stayed in their beautiful home for a short weekend and it had everything and more! We felt safe and slept well. Close 5 minute walk to the beach. They have a pool as well. The home was just as described and our hosts were very responsive if we needed anything. The minor details stood out. From the room sprays, to beautiful handsoap, the pack and play, beach chairs, a wagon, i mean i could go on and on. We will definitely be reccomending their home and hopefully they will allow us to visit again. Thank you again Brad and Darcy.🩷

Perfect location—- private, secluded and quiet area; yet close enough to all the restaurants and local attractions. Short walk to the beach which was PERFECT for littles! Pool was a hit. Condo was equipped with all your beach needs and felt like home with modern decor and updates! Can’t wait to stay again!
