Senior Girls trip
Recent Guest, Baker, LA US
We enjoyed our stay. Convenient to the shops and restaurants. Condo was nice ... only thing we didn’t like was the lack of a walk out balcony..

Hated to Leave
Cynthia McNitt, Pryor, OK United States
Our yearly girls trip and after some very stressful weeks at work it was so needed. Perfect reset for me and send off to a new school year for my daughter. Had a cleaning concern on our arrival (nothing detrimental), but the owners were quick to offer to have the cleaning crew return the next day. That wasn’t necessary, we mainly wanted the owners to be aware of the concern, but it was very nice to know they took it seriously enough to have it immediately taken care of. The condo had everything we needed for a week away from home. Views are spectacular and beds are comfortable. This is our second year to stay in this building and you can not beat the proximity to the beach! Our biggest complaint that anyone new to stay needs to be aware of, the building sign is obscured by bushes and isn’t well lit. It’s hard to see the entrance so drive slowly when you get close so you don’t pass it. Security is seen walking the parking lot at night so we always felt very safe.

Thanks Cynthia! We are delighted that you chose Gulf Tower 5A for your girl's rest and relaxation trip and are even more pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We would love to welcome you back again next year.

Gulf Shores vacation
Lori L., Mt. Sterling, IL Unknown
We was very impressed with our condo! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals there. The location on the beach was wonderful! This was our first visit to Gulf Shores, and we talked about how we will go back and try to get the same condo! It was just great!
Manager's Response
Music to our ears! Thanks Lori and it would be our pleasure to welcome you back again next year.

Amazing Relaxation!
Amanda M., Hays , KS United States
We had the best time!!! It was just as beautiful and comfortable as it looked in the pictures and description listed. We didn’t have any issues during our stay. The only thing I would recommend if possible would be for an exhaust fan in the master bathroom.
Manager's Response
Thank you, Amanda! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon.

Beautiful condo right on the beach!"
Recent Guest, Carrollton, AL US
The condo is gorgeous and close to the beach! Everything was perfect until water started pouring out of the ceiling in the kitchen, laundry room, one bedroom, bathroom, and closet at 1:30 in the morning. Thank goodness I was still awake to mop up and place buckets to catch the water. I called the emergency # and they responded promptly and decided since the water had slowed down it could wait to morning to send someone out to look things over the next morning. Two people came, but the condo owner never called me and I felt they should have touched bases with me to make sure everything was ok, and I was satisfied with how things stood. Very disappointed in that, but as far as the condo, it's very nice.
Manager's Response
Hi Josephine and thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent stay. Yes, apparently there was a leak in a condo unit above the unit you were staying in that caused the leak. We, the company that manages the property, sent two people over to assess the problem and check to see if there was anything we could do to remedy the situation. Because the owners have contracted with a property manager, they likely wouldn’t even be aware of the situation nor would they have contact information for the guests.. Also, many owners are not local and it wouldn’t have been possible for them to check in. We are so happy to hear that you loved the condo and the location and hope you’ll join us again soon.

First beach trip since covid
Recent Guest, Nauvoo, AL US
We had stayed at the Gulf Tower three times in years past, once on this floor. This stay consisted of senior father & mother and son & wife near fifty years of age. This unit has ample space for four, beautiful ocean view and generous furnishings. It probably has the most seating and lights we have stayed in. The unit is very pretty and the furnishings are not low quality like you find in a lot of units in this price range. It is farther from the tee intersection than we normally stay and places that we visit but is not a game changer at all. Now the part I hate to mention. The unit could have been a lot cleaner. The floors were not clean to our standards, some of the rugs were sticky, bath rooms needed more attention. I left a note for house keeping to please clean the lint out of the hair dryer with the vacuum cleaner that it was barely blowing. The king bed and firm mattress was great, the twin beds could be a positive for some and a negative for others. I would recommend this unit and I give it four stars. With a little more house cleaning I would have given it five stars.
Manager's Response
Hi Lee and thanks so much for the feedback. It sounds like the space and location were a good fit for your group and we hope you enjoyed that ocean view! We've passed along your comments regarding the floors to the cleaner so they can address any issues and we thank you for bringing it to our attention. We hope you'll plan a return visit soon!

The photos of this condominium were true to form, the inside was spacious and moderately Only on closer inspection, could you tell that the building was older, including the elevators, but everything was very clean, very welcoming, and easy to access. Please be sure to bring your every day items if you plan to cook there, we had to go buy seasonings and oil, which I would’ve thought were some basic items that could be in this VBRO
Manager's Response
Thanks for the feedback, Paula! For safety reasons, we do not keep open consumables in our units. Thanks for the reminder to future guests! We hope to see you again soon.

The place was great. It was clean, had everything we needed, and the view through the large sliding windows was amazing. It’s very spacious and comfortable. Pictures don’t do it justice.

Great place to stay!
Kevin C., Fort Wayne, IN United States
Condo 5A is a great place to stay! The condo was plenty of space for my family of 4. The condo was clean, everything worked, and most important - the elevators worked! We also liked that it was easy to gain access in and out of the condo! We also liked where the location was. It was very close to many restaurants and stores. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your condo for our visit and if I'm in the area again, this will be the first place I will look!
Manager's Response
We appreciate the kind words Kevin, and we'd love to see you again soon.

A great place, awesome location!
Recent Guest, Grayling, MI United States
It was a great place, would definitely come back! The only thing that I did not like was the chair and umbrella rental company taking up space on the beach for non-rented equipment. They set up right in front of the condo on the beach, not leaving space for condo renters who brought their own beach chairs and umbrella.

Tanya, thanks for taking the time to provide feedback and we are so please to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon!

Nice and Roomy
Dave R., Zeeland, MI United States
Great layout in this Gulf Tower condo. The living room is a great gathering space for larger groups. It's a nice spot for a Spring Break getaway.
Manager's Response
Thanks for the positive feedback Dave! We’d love to see you again soon.

Location was AMAZING! It was right on the beach with easy and secure access to the pool and beach. The size and layout of the condo was great as well.
My wife would have loved an outdoor balcony, while I liked that they removed the balcony, because it increased the indoor square footage of the condo.
Friendly staff and all other tenets were friendly and respectful.
The condo was mostly clean upon arrival.
Manager's Response
Thanks for the great feedback and we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon.
