Stunning view of the Gulf of Mexico! The sliding doors on the enclosed balcony are perfect for cooler weather. All of the furniture was comfortable including the beds. My only negative is the extremely poor water pressure in the showers...its a drip

Nice place with great view and easy access to the beach. There was a piece of tape over the toaster with “fire hazard” written on it. Odd that no one thought to either replace or just remove it. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is that the pool is apparently a smoking area, and any time someone smoked we had to close the balcony because the smoke would pour into the condo.

Relaxing and Clean!!

This was our first time staying at the Gulf shores and let me tell you it did not disappoint.. It was a super cute condo just the right size for us and an awesome beach view!! The sunrises from the balcony were breathtaking and all shops and restaurants were all within a close reach. Room was clean and neat with access to beach. We will definitely be back..

Condo was nice and clean aside from the bedside lamp switch being broken large vechicles will have problems moving through the parking lot but other than that it was very clean and just as listed we will probably stay there again if available

Summer Fun

Well maintained and very convenient with teenagers being close to The Hangout. Also very secure if you come with small children. You have to have a key to get to the pool and to access the beach.

Amazing beach stay

We loved this condo. It was clean, well decorated and well put together. It had everything we needed in the kitchen. I was skeptical on the enclosed balcony but turned out to be fantastic! There is no coffee like morning coffee on an air conditioned balcony. The view was outstanding. We saw dolphins every morning. The management company was very professional and courteous and called to let us know our condo was ready to check in. We didn’t have to call them with any issues during our stay. The bedrooms could have more lighting. The only lighting is two bedside lamps. A ceiling fan with a light kit would be nice. The condo only came with one fob for entry to the pool and beach. This was inconvenient on numerous occasions as half of us were at the ballpark and the other half was at the beach with the fob. When we got back and wanted to go to the beach we had to walk down the street to the public beach access. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this condo. Will keep this place in mind if softball brings us here again!

Almost perfect

My sister and I enjoyed our stay very much. We would repeat our stay in 8C in the future. We had just a couple of issues that prevented us from having the perfect rating above. The hallway bathtub had hair on the side of the wall and in the tub and a towel in the master bath also contained hair that was discovered during my first shower. The master BR TV was inoperable upon check-in but was promptly remedied the next day once I reported it to the office. Again, a wonderful stay with just a couple of hiccups and I'd recommend the unit to others.

Gulf Tower. A view for the family

Overall it is what I expected. It’s close to the main drag and shopping. (If you have a vehicle). Thee room is cozy but not that I didn’t expect that. Comfortable and updated. Negatives the view was obstructed because of the enclosed deck. But not too bad. Sometimes it’s nice to sit on the deck and soak up some sun it was hard to do. In the kitchen it look as if there had been some work done recently due to dust on some of the utensils. Not a big deal. Also the parking lot is small but was able to gen in and out with a suburban.

Nice location, great beach access.

Nice beach access and location. condo ok, beds very uncomfortable in both rooms. Electrical wiring is awful throughout the condo. Master bed has no privacy due to open doorway without doors. Balcony is closed off.. with glass doors so no sitting outside. I'd rent another condo in Gulf towers but never 8C again.
