Our stay at Tropic Isles was fantastic. It was very clean and the pefect size for our family. We had a spectacular view of the beach. It was nice in the evenings to sit out and listen to the sounds of the waves. Our kids loved the pool and it was nice to just walk right out and be on the beach. If you forgot something you were just a short walk away from the condo! We were very pleased with everything. Would reccomend to anyone! You can't go wrong here.

We stayed as snowbirds Jan.-March 7th. The condo was clean. The pictures and wall hanings were very fitting for the beach. There is a pantry, which takes a great deal of stress off of the cupboard space. Everything worked just fine. The owners showed concern for our comfort. We would stay here again. Great location.

My husband and I stayed in this condo for a week and found it to be very nice. We saw dolphins from the balcony, had a great view of the sunrise and sunset, saw military planes and helicopters along the coast - it was fantastic. You are within walking distance of The Hangout, and many shops and other restaurants. I highly, highly recommend this condo and this location and will return in the future. We are in our mid-50s and it was perfect for us, but would also be nice for a young couple with kids.

First Family Vacation

amyfnp (Leopold, MO)
Review submitted: August 2, 2012   Date of arrival: July 24, 2012

We rented this condo for our first family vacation and had a great time! The condo was just the right size for our family of four and my daughters loved the bunk beds! The condo was stocked with everything that you could need and the location was ideal--right on the beach and within a short driving distance or walking distance to many restaurants, stores, and attractions. We loved that the pool and beach were not crowded and we loved the view from the balcony of our condo. We had a great time and are looking forward to coming back again soon. Theresa, the owner of the condo, was wonderful to work with and really helped to make our vacation a reality!

Review submitted: July 25, 2012   Date of arrival: July 7, 2012

We stayed here the second week of July 2012 with our kids (ages 6 & 7 1/2). We all loved it. The condo was exactly as described and had a GREAT view of the beach. You could sit on the balcony listening to the waves and get the ocean breeze while watching the beach activity below. Everyone we met was great. There is so much to do in Gulf Shores that our kids were limited to choosing an "activity of the day" in addition to just hanging out at the beach and pool. The Gulf was really clear and beautiful while we were there. The beach was busy but we never felt "crowded". We would definitely go back and we highly recommend it to any of our friends.

Wonderful Condo

Amy (Helena, AL)
Review submitted: May 20, 2012   Date of arrival: April 29, 2012

We had a wonderful time on our vacation. The owner of the condo was very easy to work with and answered all of our questions. The condo was perfect. The view was amazing! There was plenty of room which was wonderful since we brought our 2 year old son. He had plenty of room to play. Just about everything you need is right there. The kitchen is fully stocked (except for food obviously), the bathrooms have all the starter soaps you need until you can get to the store, and all of your towels. The only thing we didn't know were not provided was the toilet paper (we ran out on the second day and had to buy more), and trash bags (but we just used grocery sacks). This may have been stated somewhere and I overlooked it.
Our 2 year old loved sleeping on the bottom bunk of the bunk beds. We didnt think he would be able to but we found a safety rail in the washer/dryer closet so it made it safe for him to sleep there. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again.

Convenient and Comfortable

Judy (Louisville, KY)
Review submitted: October 27, 2011   Date of arrival: October 10, 2011

We arrived for our Fall relaxation week at noon on a Monday. Theresa was very accomodating and we were able to get into the condo early even though it had been occupied the night before. Everything was clean and it was roomy for a 1 bedroom condo. The building is only the 4th down from the area where the October Shrimp Festival is held, so it was an easy walk. The property is also clean and parking was plentiful. The pool is a tad small, but seems adequate since it is at a smaller building. It was nice not to have to compete with hundreds of other renters for the elevator, parking, pool chairs and beach space. It was especially pleasant to sit and watch the dolphins swimming and jumping each morning as we ate breakfast. The condo is well stocked with kitchen supplies; but if you want any extra blankets, you might want to bring them along. Overall, we were very comfortable and would be delighted to go back for a stay.

farrin (Chicago, IL)
Review submitted: August 31, 2011   Date of arrival: April 25, 2011

We loved staying here!! We have 2 children, 3 and 6 years old and it was great for them. They stayed in the bunk bed in the hall (used supplied bed rail for the top). The access to the beach is perfect, the view amazing and the decor cute and tasteful. The building is relatively small so elevator waits were short, the pool uncrowded and beach also! The ONLY thing I would request to make the stay better would be to have another bed rail for the bottom bunk. I only worried because the flooring next to the bed is tile. I hope that we can back to this condo this winter, one of our best family vacations!!

My husband and I had the best time in Gulf Shores. The condo was perfect and very accomodating. We could not have asked for anything more. The balcony view was great. We saw dolphins in the morning and late afternoons. The keyless entry was the best thing ever. No keys to keep up with! Easy walk or drive to several establishments. Tropical Isles is a very clean and quiet complex and staff were very friendly. Thanks to Theresa for making everything go so smoothly. Thanks to the van den Bulk family for sharing their condo with us. We will be back.

This was a lovely condo, with nice furnishings and a lovely view the beach. However the bunkbed was a tight squeeze. After my son hit his head on the top of the bunk bed we moved into the floor. We also enjoyed the keyless locks so we didn't have to bring a key to the beach.

We loved it! First, the place was spotless and had all the necessary amenities (coffee pot, ironing board, TV, etc.) Very comfortable and roomy. Obviously well maintained. The owners were helpful with directions, recommendations, etc. More important, the view right on the balcony is stunning. Great way to start the morning. Getting down to the beach was just a quick elevator ride (also nice if you forget something). The white sand was soft and inviting. Beach area gorgeous and not too crowded. Chairs available. All the people were friendly. It was refreshing to be able to walk to the restaurants for delicious seafood and drinks (and not worry about driving). The evening stroll on the beach was peaceful and romantic. Highly recommend. Not one thing to complain about. I absolutely recommend and plan on returning. Well worth the price.

This was a very nice condo. The unit was spotless and well decorated. It was a plus having the private bedroom and bath and having the extra 1/2 bath. It is right on the beach and the beach was beautiful, with nice white sand and clear water. We were there in March and also enjoyed the heated swimming pool in the evenings. The location was excellent with restaurants, shopping and entertainment close by. Owner was pleasant and helpful. I look forward to staying here again and would definately recommend this condo.

Review submitted: April 10, 2010   Date of arrival: March 29, 2010

We rented for the first time using this site online. We were very nervous about doing business over the internet. Called and talked with Theresa and she confirmed everything & told us all the details of the condo and the area. Result: 5 fabulous Sunny days! Condo was decorated in a nautical theme, very comfortable not fancy. Beach is beautiful white sand, less people and traffic was less, unlike Florida. We took in Charter Fishing that was recommended from green store across the road. My husband caught a 20lb Red Snapper and we also caught 7 Sheephead and 1 Pompanu on the canal at the mouth of the Gulf. A good nights fish dinner that we cooked in the condo kitchen! We walked the beach alot and walked to almost all the restaurants...DeSoto's pecan encrusted Mahi Mahi the Best! Shopped in Foley and rest of the time was spent relaxing on the Beach. Highly recommend this condo!

This condo was perfect for my family of 4 with 2 kids. The condo is very clean with very nice furnishings. In fact everything seemed brand new. We couldn't believe how nice it was. The queen sleeper in the main area was great. The condo has a direct view of the coast and the balconies are extra deep for plenty of room (it's probably 8 to 10 feet from the sliding door to the rail) and have tile floor. It was great just sitting on the balcony and watching the dolphins in the morning. Plenty of restaurant options are within 2 miles of the condo. Even a water park is right down the street, but all we needed was the pool and great beach at the condo. The owners were very kind and answered all our questions. They also are very quick with responses to email and getting our deposit returned. We plan to return to this condo and highly recommend it for any family looking for a great getaway to the beautiful beaches of the Alabama coast.
