We’ve stayed at The Gulf Tower several times and it’s always a great experience. Communication is always great and check in is so simple. We ended up adding an extra night due to Bertha coming through during our stay and they made the process easy and fast. Thanks!

Spacious, comfortable 2br/2ba with a great view. Balcony/sunroom was much more comfortable than I anticipated, and very big. The view is great, but sunrise/sunset is hard to see. Watched dolphins every morning. The ac kept the whole unit cold. We didn’t cook much, but the cookware selection was large, but the quality was very basic. Beds were comfortable. Check in/out was quick and easy with plenty of communication beforehand. I would have checked the property on coastal view had I known. Parking was sufficient and they had security checking for tags. Plenty of nearby restaurants. Fishing at the surf (early-July) wasn’t great, but wasn’t really expected to be. Probably should have started earlier. There’s paid beach setups that get set up around 7am. The beach was a little crowded but there was still space when we arrived late. There were two nice sandbars when the tide was low you could walk about 100yds out. The water was murky from rain out of mobile. Clearer water is further east like Destin. The sand is soft and clean. This area is more affordable and still very nice. Best restaurants were the Catch, Shrimp Basket’s AYCE, and lulu’s. Go to Orange beach and try Doc’s and GT’s. Would definitely return. Thanks!

We had a great stay for our vacation! The condo itself could use some slight updating but overall it was clean and had a wonderful view!! They kept the pool very clean daily and just steps away from the beach!

Reviewer Comments:
The good: Location, clean pool, beach access, sufficient parking, sunroomThe rest: It was not thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. All you had to do was look in corners of the floor, behind trashcan, under the bed, and you can find trash and dirt in all of those place. The mold and mildew smell is bad. They hang air fresheners from all of the air registers, but this is not the solution. They need to actually fix the air conditioning drainage pipe so that way it doesn’t leak and doesn’t come apart requiring the tenant to fix it and the property manager to say oh that happened again. There are conflicting memos as far as what is required for cleaning. One memo says that all of the dishes have to be cleaned and put away and another says that you can put them in the dishwasher and start the dishwasher. Supply enough toilet paper based on the length of the stay by the guest... do you expect a guest to fly home with the extra toilet paper that they bought... no, this is just going cheap in a really dumb way, and leads to a negative experience.
