About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"Welcome to Ocean Reef, Gulf Shores, Alabama! Enjoy your stay at Ocean Reef 901, a unique three-story beachfront townhome situated in the southeastern corner of the Ocean Reef complex. This spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom property boasts 1,600 square feet and offers direct access to 200 feet of private white sand beach. This low-density complex, with only 45 units, ensures a serene and family-friendly environment. What's special? The unit spans all three floors, offering exclusivity with no unit above or below.

Inside, the first floor comprises a full kitchen, dining area, living room, and a half bath. The second floor hosts the master bedroom with a King bed, TV, and a private bath, along with a second bedroom featuring a Queen bed, TV, and a full bath, plus a washer and dryer. The third floor offers a Full bed, and an added delight—a Jacuzzi tub! The living room also provides a Queen sofa sleeper for extra guests. The well-furnished kitchen is equipped with appliances and dishes, so you only need to bring groceries.

Located at the heart of Gulf Shores, just a short four-block walk from the Hangout and numerous shopping and dining options, this unit is rapidly becoming a popular family destination in the area.

Great location

This property was in a great location and clean. The parking is one of the better options at this complex with side by side parking. We had everything we needed. They were easy to communicate with and very helpful! The condo could use some updating, and the complex could do better to keep the beach access from becoming an entrance for the public to sneak through; we have always loved Ocean Reef for the low crowd, but this time we watched many walk across the street and onto the beach.

Great trip

Everything was described as advertised. Location was great!! And being just steps away from the beach with kids is a huge plus! Hope to visit again.

Amazing location

The location made up for a lot of the shortcomings but I expected more for what we paid. We had dirty sheets, dirty towels, broken eyelet burner, no hot water for jacuzzi tub (known problem by owner but they don’t have the part to fix it yet and we weren’t told until after we put in a work order), broken pans, mattresses uncomfortable and could feel the springs, caulked on microwave handle and numerous deferred maintenance items throughout the home. The manager was very friendly and responsive and the cleaning crew came back to change sheets. When we booked we could see the home was outdated but it was in worse condition than expected.

Location is excellent

Can’t beat the location, right on the beach and close to everything. Pool was also nice and clean. The condo itself is in need of general upkeep and updating. The master bath shower door was hard to slide and felt like it was coming off the tracks. There is also sheet rock tape falling off the ceiling in the master bath. Very small kitchen with just enough room for one person at a time to work in. Missing a cabinet door in the kitchen. The condo also has 2 dedicated parking spots assigned to it but had to purchase a second parking pass which made no sense except another way to get a little extra money out of you.

In the sand

Excellent location and direct access to the beach. Townhome itself is outdated and in need of some upkeep and repairs. For 3400/wk expected would be nicer. Location makes up for alot though

Best location on the Beach!!

You could not ask for better location. We had to wait on the cleaning crew, and they shared with us the previous renters trashed the place. Even with that said the condo was clean, and quite comfortable. There are many basic upkeeps that I feel that should be tended to, but it did not take away from our stay. We enjoyed our time, and I would recommend to anyone!
