** Message for discounts for longer stays! **Our Beautiful unit offers a full functioning kitchen, wifi, cable, and a large balcony with chaise loungers over looking the crystal clear waters of the Gulf. Take advantage of our current discounts and social distance yourself with a view. Our complex is not too large and offers a wonderful swim through pool, heated indoor pool, game room, fitness center, and an amazing location. With endless gulf views and just steps to the beach. This listing is for the entire condo. It is located on the 12th floor with breath taking views of the beautiful gulf and just a quick elevator ride down to the beautiful white sandy beaches! You can't get any closer than this! The entire unit, except for an owner's closet. Our interaction will be minimal as we live out of town. However, we are just a short phone call, text or email away. We have Brenda, who keeps the unit clean and running for us and lots of friends and family in the area for any emergency cases or to help check in and/or check ID's. Our location is wonderful, it's close enough to walk to the center of Gulf Shores (being right under a mile) but far enough away to where you aren't exposed to all the noises that accompany the crowds. One of our new favorite places to eat is Picnic Beach, Desotos is also a local favorite. Of course there is the Hang Out as well. The best places for shopping in regards to groceries and items for the beach would be Target, Publix, and Walmart, all of which are located off Hwy 59 before you arrive at the condo. If you're coming during busy season (May, June, July and holidays) it might be best to stop off and pick up the groceries before you reach the complex, as traffic can get heavy. For other shopping, there are the outlets located in Foley, there is also a yoga studio (Glow) right as you enter Gulf Shores on the left side of Hwy 59 that has a little store with Lululemon and other athletic brands and of course great yoga classes! There is also a cute boutique next door. If Orange beach isn't too far of a drive for you, there is a great area called San Rock Cay that has adorable little shops and lots of great restaurants. A little further from there, the Caribe restaurant is another of our favorite places to eat as well. It's probably best to get around by car, but if you're feeling adventurous, there are lots of shops and restaurants just a mile down the way. This is a NON-SMOKING unit, no exceptions.
