October 2024Everything about Lances place was perfect, we enjoyed our stay! And would definitely go back!
Bonnie
September 2024Lance was helpful and easy to deal with. Fortunately, we did not have any issues. The condo was perfect, 5 minute walk to The HangOut and other restaurants. And the view! The view was perfect! We had a wonderful time in Gulf Shores!
Elizabeth
September 2024Location is the absolute best!! 1 block away from the Hangout. Right on the beach. Watching the exquisite sunrises was mesmerizing. The condo was very large, had enough room for 7 with more area to enjoy. The host had spare blankets, beach towels, beach chairs, and beach toys and floating items on the balcony. The pool is larger in person than in pictures. The host checked on us while we were there. I was extremely impressed and plan on going back. It was a great deal for Labor Day weekend. Thanks for having us!!!

Chassity
June 2024This place was perfect for my family! I love the sectional and recliners in the family room as we could all sit in the afternoons and spend time together. In some places we have stayed that wasn’t able to happen. I have zero complaints besides I felt there could have been a few more cleaning supplies for me to clean up after my family. I know most people aren’t cleaning while on vacation but I’m a little different. lol! My family will definitely be staying here again when we come back to Gulf Shores!

Jessica
June 2023We decided to go to the beach last minute and Lances condo just happened to be available. I booked it immediately and so glad I did! It was just as described and he communicated with us several times to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The pictures do not do this condo justice, the view is AMAZING and the location was very accessible to anywhere we wanted to go in the area! Will definitely be back!!

Josh
May 2023The view was great. We saw dolphins from the balcony. Location was within walking distance of many amenities. The cleaning crew missed a few things throughout the condo, but it wasn't enough to hinder a great vacation.
Donald
February 2023Awesome!
Georgette
January 2023Everything was great, but I wish they had disclosed about the parking fee of $30 per car. Otherwise, we had a great stay!
Desmond
October 2022Great spot to stay! Great host! The entire process was smooth from check in to check out! I would definitely recommend staying here!!!
Tonya
September 2022Nice clean condo! Beachfront view was perfect! Condo is equipped with all necessities needed! Only issue is paying $30 per car to park at the place! This should be included in stay!
Chuck
July 2022Great location, view was nice and the condo is walking distance from to several restaurants. The place definitely needs some maintenance done (ceiling fan in one room is about to fall out of the ceiling) no blinds in the living room to block out the sun, if your used to sleeping on a Tempur-Pedic mattress the beds may not be for you, drywall looks terrible along with the paint job. You can get better rates booking directly from what I gathered from other guest and the office staff.For what I paid, I expected the condo to be tidy and clean, I suggest you take a pair of house shoes. Parking is around $30 a vehicle and you are limited to only 2 parking passes ( We had 3 cars, we had to park the 3rd one in a public parking lot down from the condo) the parking pass information wasn't disclosed until after the condo was rented, the cost for parking was never disclosed until arrival. I expected more for what I paid!..
Caroline
May 2022We enjoyed staying here. The views were amazing and the floor plan was perfect. We were within walking distance of everything but maybe a grocery store and it was just a short drive away. I loved sitting on the patio every morning drinking my coffee and watching the dolphins play!
Connell
