Great location! Walk 1/2 block to Bahama Bob's. Beautiful ocean view from 13th floor. Clean and very well appointed. We had everything we needed! The 3BR/3BA was perfect for 3 girls. Two of the bedrooms had ocean view with access to balcony. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Great stay
The condo was great, it was exactly as described, very clean, kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of linens, towels. The view was amazing, and it was close to many things to walk to and drive if you choose to do so. I would however recommend to the owner that a fresh coat of paint throughout the condo would do it wonders, along with a new ceiling fan in the master bedroom, we could not turn it on for it made a horrible sound at night, the mattress could also stand to be replaced in the master, it slanted slightly to both sides. The only negative to our stay was the elevators were so horribly slow, we were on the 13th floor and at times chose to walk up all 13 flights rather than to wait. There also is a huge discrepancy in your check in information on where to place the tag for your vehicle while parked in the garage, the check in info stated to put this on the drivers side dash (visible) we did this, only to come out and see that we had a warning on our windshield stating that our vehicle would be subject to towing or having a boot put on it for failing to properly display our parking permit. On the permit it states to put it on your mirror. The female security officer that we spoke with was beyond unhelpful and horribly rude while trying to explain that we had conflicting instructions on where to place it.

First timers to gulf shores
The condo was a great location - able to walk to a few restaurants and shops. The condo was very well stocked in the kitchen - even had extra paper towels, ziploc bags, foil, Tupperware and dish soap! They also supplied 6-8 thick beach towels which definitely came in handy! The unit also had multiple beach chair - all in good condition. The main bed in the primary bedroom was a bit uncomfortable for us but overall the condo was great and I would recommend it to others!

Best stocked & Great Location
My family, friends, and I loved staying at 1302 Island Tower. The condo is spacious, clean, and well stocked with any and everything you can think of! The condo has all up to date appliances and furniture. I'm impressed with the closet spaces especially in the master bedroom. I love how close of a walk it is to the beach from the condo. It's such a short walk in comparison to other places I've stayed. I love the views from the balcony and privacy provided. It's also located in a convenient spot within walking distance to several restaurants. Bahama Bobs is right next door & Surfside Pizza is across the street! Blake is a wonderful host with great communication. We locked our keys in the room and he was quick to the rescue! He stayed in contact with us to make sure everything was good and was quick to respond. Definitely recommended and look forward to business with Blake in the future.

This was our 3rd trip to GS and by far, the most friendly condo owner to deal with. Blake is so easy to deal with and quick to answer any questions. The condo itself was lovely and super clean. We had 8 people which is the max capacity and still had room. Great location and views! We enjoyed the beach every day of our trip and the balcony at night after we would have dinner!
