Gulf Shores 205

Welcome to Gulf Shores Condominiums! This Holmes Beach condo sits right on the sand and features a number of desirable amenities including a furnished and screened balcony with panoramic beach views, a full kitchen, and plenty of space for a family.

While you're likely to spend most of your time out on the adjacent sugar soft sand beach, or over at some of the local restaurants and shops located only a couple blocks east, this condo is also just a short stroll to a stop for the free, air-conditioned trolley that can take you all over Anna Maria Island. Ride it down to historic Bridge Street for live music, waterfront dining, and the annual wintertime sandcastle building competition. Or head north to downtown Anna Maria where you can visit historical points of interest such as the Rod and Reel Pier and Restaurant and the Anna Maria Island Historical Museum. The trolley stop can be found on Gulf Drive, just a few hundred feet from your front door.

This seaside condo features free WiFi to make it easy to plan out your adventures, as well as flatscreen TVs and a VCR/DVD combo if you want to bring a few movies along (a Redbox is also available just a mile-and-a-half down island from your rental). Save a few dollars and do some home cooking in the full kitchen, and then dine outside as you watch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. And don't worry about finding a place to park as an assigned space is provided for guests.

On the Beach
Beautiful property! Right on the beach. We did have three days with no AC working. That was pretty awful - 85 degrees inside 85 degrees outside. Took 4 calls and 4 visits over 3 days to get it working. Also had a phone call with a maintenance employee who actually asked us if 85 degrees was too warm. The answer is yes. We had a wonderful stay and spent so much time on the beach. 6 turtles laid eggs within a short distance of the condo while we were there. Manatees swam by almost everyday of our stay.

Great condo, but 30 stairs (same as 3rd or 4th floor) no elevator
Wonderful condo but we hesitated to go to beach because of so many stairs up/down. Not why i rent a condo on the beach... i live in FL on 2nd floor, no elevator (1/2 as many stairs). So i would be cautious if over 45 years old...

January Vacation
We stayed for the month of January. The property was as listed. First the Pros - Good location, covered parking, great view, decent beds and couch, adequate dishes and cookware, washer and dryer. Cons - stairs, older appliances but worked, frig door had 2 broken and missing shelves, cabinets are cheap and one is broken, faucets in bathroom older and a little hard to use. a few holes in lanai screen which will be a problem in warmer weather with no-seeums. The biggest disappointment for an expensive beachfront condo was NO beach chairs and umbrella. Had to buy chairs, cheaper than renting. Lousy weather this January and had to use the heat almost every night. It quit working one night and Vacasa was great about taking care of it quickly the next day. There has been some updating but still needs more and some TLC. There are some broken chairs on the front deck that need thrown away. Dangerous to sit in them.

A week on vacation.
The house should have told us that was it three flight of stairs to the condo. I have an ambulatory problem and could not get to the unit.

Great beds
We were a little disappointed with the quality of this unit. The second floor unit is up 4 flights of narrow stairs. It was terrible to try to get our luggage and groceries up there. That alone would make us not choose this property again. Our phone chargers and computer plugs kept falling out of almost all of the outlets. The unit needs some TLC. The beach was great except for hauling everything up and down 4 flights of stairs that were so narrow two people cannot pass on them. You have to go back to the last landing to get by. The beds were very comfortable.
