Gulf Shores, AL, United States

Southern Paradise at Island Shores 652

This beautiful beachfront condo is located directly on the beach at Island Shores Condominiums. (Note: The 7 minute walk Airbnb refers to is to the nearest public beach access) You are just steps away from that glorious sugar white sand!! Our location offers privacy and solitude for those quiet evening sunsets on the balcony, while also being right in the heart of Downtown Gulf Shores, steps away from all the shopping, dining, and nightlife that Gulf Shores has to offer.

This a very nice, well appointed condo. It is very tastefully decorated. We chose it because of this, and the amazing views. It did not disappoint. We saw dolphin every morning. The balcony is very quiet and private. This is a small complex, very cozy. The top floor is perfect. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The beds are quite comfortable. We used the pool every evening after a day on the beach. Tons of restaurants and shopping within walking distance. It’s nice having a washer and dryer in the unit. The hosts are very responsive. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing stay.

The condo was in a perfect location and beautifully decorated. The security guards were a bit much but better than having none at all I suppose. I would book this condo again!
