Would stay again

Photos made the condo seem a little larger than it actually turned out to be for a family of 4 (boys 10 & 13) but we had sufficient room and there was so much to do at the resort and nearby we didn't do much more than sleep in the room.

Great little condo

The condo was clean and well maintained and it wasn’t a far walk to access the beach and I loved that we were near the indoor pool for the kids.

Wonderful Weekend Escape

We really enjoyed our stay at Escape to Serenity! The condo is clean, cozy and stocked with everything you need. I loved the full size kitchen, and we made good use of the beach cart and chairs. The views from the porch are beautiful. The beach area is lovely and spacious. We would definitely return!

Fantastic Family Vacation

We took our 4 kiddos on their first beach vacation. Perfect set up for 2 adults and 4 kids. Condo was the perfect size and a super sorry walk to the beach and swimming pools. Balcony view of the ocean and waves made for great time doesn't having coffee in the mornings. Owners were beyond helpful and friendly when looking into potential bad weather and even assisted us in tacking an extra night onto our stay. Thank you for giving us a space to make long lasting memories with our family.

Spectacular Sunrise and sunsets on the beach!! October 2024.

Although beach was a short walking distance, will get a beach front unit next time. Somewhat noisy with neighbors above and beside me. To be expected since it was the shrimp festival. Beach buggy does not work and the furniture needs to be cleaned. Overall, satisfied with stay.

We stayed with 4 kids under 9. As someone else said, it is small, but it works. There are bunks in the hall, the couch pulls out to a full bed & of course there is the bedroom. There's a full kitchen, stocked with basic pans & dishes, so bring some groceries. Our condo felt like we were staying at a friends, which was nice. The hot tub isn't hot, just barely warm, so don't get excited about that. But there are plenty of pools, plus the indoor pool, and of course the ocean. We brought kites & we all enjoyed flying them on the beach. Bring plenty of beach towels. It was a nice vacation.

The Bare minimum

The property was very small. Smaller than the pictures. Condo was dirty and sand was everywhere. No broom or cleaning supplies to clean up other than a wet swiffer sweeper.condo had 4 bathtowels, 1 trashbag, 1fry8ng pan, and 1 dishwasher pod. Main Pool was crumbling on the edges. Concrete and tile. Pool firniture was absolutely disgusting. Moldy and dirty and rusty. Condo came with two rusted out beach chairs. This condo and the whole property needs a deep clean and an update to amenities.

Highly Recommend

We turned a work trip into a mini family vacation, staying from a Wednesday-Saturday in February. Upon arrival, we were impressed with the size, cleanliness and homey feel of the condo, as well as, the AMAZING view from the balcony. I wouldn't change a thing, the amenities of the resort and the condo itself were fantastic, I love that the owners supplied sports equipment because we forgot our tennis rackets and basketball at home. The ocean and outdoor pools were still pretty chilly but the kids had a blast playing in the sand and indoor pool area. The convenience of the location of the condo was a dream, so close to the on-site restaurant (Sassy Bass), the indoor pool, just across the parking lot from the beach and sports areas. The resort was 5 minutes from a Dollar General, 10-ish minutes from Gulf Shores public beach with a ton of souvenier shops and restaurants and within 30 minutes of The Track and Tropic Falls amusement/water park. We highly recommend this condo and will be booking it again, hopefully later this year when it warms up a bit. :-) 10 out of 10, and I wish I could give it more stars than 5!!

What a wonderful place for the family!

We stayed here as a family (2 adults, 3 kids- aged 6,9,16) this past week and it was amazing! There was plenty of room for all five of us in the condo, and plenty to do within walking distance, that we weren’t in there very much! The property has six pools! There is a large indoor pool and hot tub in our building and it was amazing to have during the storms. The outdoor pools were all great as well! For the adults, there is an adult only pool in front of the building, next to the beach. Speaking of the beach, it was beautiful! You must go out there for the sunsets, too! The little guys loved having an ice cream shop within walking distance. They also serve delicious coffees! The iced sea turtle is divine! Sassy Bass is a cute bar/ restaurant attached to one of the building on property. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We ate there a few times and it was great! There are also basketball and tennis courts right near our building! The owners have thought of everything to make this cozy place home. I loved that the end tables in the bedroom, as well as the bar tables in the living room had extra outlets with usb ports. That was highly convenient with everyone’s devices. The bathroom had storage bins and towel hooks for everyone’s stuff so the family could stay organized! I thought that was a great idea! The condo was super clean and inviting when we walked in! Check in and out were super easy. We would definitely stay here again!
