Enjoy one of Gulf Shores' most popular and affordable rentals in a low-density complex. This 5th floor unit offers a breathtaking direct gulf front view of the Gulf of Mexico, beautiful white sandy beaches, and great access to shopping, movies, and other activities. The complex has a big swimming pool with ample lounge and patio seating. There is a spacious elevator and luggage/valet carts for easy loading/unloading. Walk down a block to Sea 'n Suds - one of Gulf Shores' most popular oyster bar/seafood restaurants! You will also be in walking distance to numerous other restaurants, shopping malls, and many recreational activities.

This three bedroom/two bath condo has full kitchen, and free WIFI. The master bedroom has a brand new king size bed and private bath, with new flat screen TV and DVD player. The second bedroom is located off of the living room and accommodates two with a queen sized bed. The two twin beds in the third bedroom is great for families with children! The living area has a large sectional with a flat screen TV and DVD player which provide a nice place to relax with a movie, a book, or even a nap! Beach front balcony includes patio table and chairs.

Island Shores is situated in a prime location with just a short distance to three large grocery stores, four pharmacies, an ABC store, restaurants, movie rentals, spas, and shopping. The Tanger Outlet Mall offers great retail therapy with over 120 brand-name stores for those occasional rainy afternoons. Take a dolphin cruise from the Wharf, which also has an amphitheater for regularly scheduled concerts, more shopping, and a movie theater. Perdido Pass in nearby Orange Beach offers a new area just for fishermen. Marinas, glass bottom boats, chartered deep sea fishing, golf (big boy and miniature), Alabama Birding Trail, amusement parks, and water theme parks are all just a few short minutes away.

Much needed break
The condo provided everything we needed and more. The location was great. The parking attended(Danny) was the best. Tge only problem was the upstairs guest let their children run at all hrs keeping my daughter awake.

Pretty nice
Was a small 3 bedroom condo. Overall clean but there was used qtips next to bed and sock under edge of recliner- need to clean round furniture. Beautiful view. Nice having closet of beach things that could be used. Couple of the security guys was rude but there was one very nice. Only get 2 parking passes for 3 bedroom condo.

Standard Island Shores
We stay at Island Shores almost every time we come because we love the location. The layout of this unit is basic, it can get pretty cramped when you have 6 adults and a couple of kids but if you spend most of your time on the beach or exploring the area it's not too bad. The only problem I had with this unit was air flow. Parts of the condo were icebox cold while others of us were sweating in our bedrooms and needing supplemental fans (no ceiling fans except in the kitchen/dining area!). The rest of it was fine, it was a good location and the unit had the basics of what we needed for a week. All in all, it was a pretty typical Island Shores experience, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Beautiful view and perfect for our family!
We were pleasantly surprised that the photos and description of this property were accurate. The condo exceeded our expectations! We enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning with the beautiful view. And our kids loved being able to go back and forth between the beach and the pool easily.

Overall the property worked well for the 7 of us. There is no laundry in the unit. There is a laundry room on the first floor with coin laundry. It would have been so much better with kids to have laundry in the unit.

Gulf Shores - Memorial Day weekend
The location of the property and the view of the beach are wonderful. This property is dated and small and left the people in our group thinking the cost for three nights was too much!
