Amazing Repeat Stay

I cannot say enough about our stay!!! We come to the Gulf Shores area every year since 1996 and this is my favorite location and condo. This was only the second time I stayed here because I am usually late and the condo is booked by the time I have my vacation planned, but this year I planned ahead. I love this condo for 3 reasons-location, decorating-space, style, and # bedrooms, and cleanliness. We are runners and have quick access to run in the direction of the national park for wide open ocean views. Second, I love to walk to restaurants close to the condo without getting in my car. And of coarse, I love direct views of ocean and close enough to hear the waves. I will be back next year!

We love to have repeat guests. It is like welcoming back old friends. Nothing makes us happier than to know that our guests had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Everyone deserves a rest to help renew their body, mind, and spirit. We are delighted to be able to provide a lovely location for that special retreat from daily responsibilities. It is also nice to be able to walk to nearby restaurants and to be close to other fun activities. It is a pleasant destination for both peace and quiet and adventure. Thanks for the lovely review of our condo.

Best Condo in Gulf Shores!

I have stayed in this unit for a long weekend in May for the last four years for the Hangout Music Festival. I was very lucky to stumble upon this unit way back when as it is the nicest unit that I have seen in this beautiful building.

Pat was always a pleasure to work with anytime we needed something. The location is very convenient to the Hangout which was a great advantage to staying here as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the Gulf Shores area.

Thank you so much for the kind review of our condo. We love to have repeat guests. Our guests become part of our extended family. We want everyone who stays at our condo to have a great vacation. Our goal is to provide a lovely, comfortable, place to relax. The beautiful view, sound of the waves, and fresh air, help our guests let go of stress and enjoy life. Being close to the Hangout and other restaurants and attractions makes it convenient, also. We try to do whatever we can to make the time spent at our condo a wonderfully, memorable one. Thanks again for the thoughtful review. We look forward to your return. Best of luck.

This condo was referred to us by a friend and we were NOT disappointed! Very clean, on the beach and had a great pool which was awesome for us since we have small children.

Stayed March, 2015

Thank you so much for your review. We really appreciate it.

Many guests with small children agree with you that the pool has a great area for small children. It is also nice to be able to walk right onto the beach from the condo and shower on the walkway as you return. Grills are available for outdoor cooking and beach toys are provided in the condo for children to take on the beach. We do try to keep our condo as clean as possible so our guests can relax in nice surroundings. We are so happy you enjoyed our condo. Thanks again for the great review.

Pictures Don't Do Justice to This Beauty at San Carlos, Gulf Shores!

Curious as to whether or not we would like this location over Orange Beach, we were delighted to find it will be our new family tradition to return to this spacious San Carlos condo! Within walking distance to many eateries, like the Island Pancake House next door, it allowed us to arrive to dinner within minutes. The fall months are perfect here, offering little traffic, yet plenty of sunshine. The room was MORE than we bargained for--the master suite AND the living areas were much roomier than pictured, and I believe one of the guest rooms may not even be pictured in this listing. All of the furnishings were more than classy. It was just right for our family of 7, plus grandparents, to stay the week. 3 baths made it easy for shower time; the bunk bed room had a continuous showing of appropriate cartoons that need not be supervised; storage space was just enough; and the views were what you long for when visiting Gulf Shores. An outdoor pool with a sloping entrance perfect for little ones, next to the boardwalk that takes you to the beach, were all within the beachfront view. The owner was very accommodating, as was the property--GREAT FOR LARGE FAMILIES! :)

Very roomy condo!

Two families convened on the lovely condo the first week in August and had a wonderful time! Tons of room for all 8 of us! The kids loved the double bunk beds. The adults looked forward to their going to sleep so we could enjoy the cozy balcony. Location is super convenient to everything in the area. The condo was extremely clean and comfortable. The owners were very responsive to my many questions leading up to our stay. We would rent this condo again in a heartbeat. Un condo related - the families visited the State Park and we encourage all to rent bikes and do the biking paths there. Fun family event. I've grown up going to the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area and had no idea that was there.

Thanks for the wonderful and informative review of your stay with us. We appreciate it and hope to host your family again.

Wonderful family beach trip!

We had a wonderful time at the beach, and staying at San Carlos with family. This is a very nice and clean condo that had plenty of room for our family of 8.

We experienced some minor issues upon arriving. One of the three elevators at the condo wasn't working on the first day that we arrived so we had an abnormally long amount of wait time. The problem was fixed the next day, and the elevators worked fantastic, and fast the rest of our stay. Also, we couldn't get the condo to cool after we moved everything in, but after a quick phone call to Pat & Craig the air was up, and running again in no time. These issues were out of the owner’s control, and were handled promptly. Pat and Craig were both very easy to work with throughout the booking/questions/minor problem process.

Just as an F.Y.I. - We never could get the icemaker in the freezer to work properly. It would make ice, but apparently the arm lever is messed up, because it never automatically dumped the ice (we just bought bags of ice). Also, the shower in the kids bathroom, and the shower in the master bathroom never got hot. The water was warm throughout our stay...just not hot. The shower in the front bedroom and the Jacuzzi bath in the master bathroom did get hot so we just improvised.

The TV in the living room is fabulous, and was a big hit. ALL of the beds are very comfortable. We also loved the porch furniture (more seating than originally expected)...which was a big plus for us...since we enjoy sitting on the balcony at night.

We loved that we were within walking distance to Sea N Suds...which has always been one of our favorite restaurants. It’s a very casual, friendly atmosphere...with great food.

We didn't cook very many big meals so the few pots & pans that were in the kitchen worked just fine for us, but keep this in mind if you plan on cooking a good bit while there. There was plenty of reusable plastic containers, though, which was very nice (we’ve never stayed at a condo that provided them so they really came in handy for leftovers/cleanup). We were able to make good use of the Margarita Machine, which was very easy to use. Plus the kids liked having plain shaved ice to munch on or with their drinks (non-alcoholic of course).

Bottom line is that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we would definitely stay at this condo again.

Thanks Pat & Craig for sharing your wonderful condo with us!

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough review. I am happy that you had a good time and would like to come back. Guests agree that assets are the cleanliness of our condo and our comfortable beds. They also like that we are very close to the Hangout and other great locations like your favorite restaurant, Sea N Suds. We do want guests to take advantage of the relaxing balcony overlooking the beach, so we made sure to have enough furniture. Everyone likes the big-screen TV. Thanks for the FYI. We encourage guests to call us anytime to ensure that they have the best vacation ever. We had a very large variety of new, stainless steel pots and pans. We will check and replace any that are missing. Thanks again for the review. We look forward to your return. We want you and all of our guests to have the very best vacation experience.

WOW!

This was my first experience using vrbo.com & I really did not know what to expect. The pictures give you an idea but this condo is absolutely gorgeous! We had a total of 4 people with us & even the teenagers were very impressed especially since they both got a private bathroom. The beds are very comfortable, A+, & my husband LOVED the huge TV! Pat, the owner, was very helpful & prompt returning calls & emails:) We go to the beach approx once a year & this trip was by far the best & most relaxing:)
