Our Christmas present to ourselves was perfect
Review Submitted: January 3, 2009
Date of Stay: December 2008
I am very familar with the Fort Morgan area and really looked forward to sharing it with my husband. So for our Christmas present to each other, we left our two sons with relatives and made the easy drive over from the MS Gulf Coast to the Plantation the weekend after Christmas. The condo was much better than the pictures led us to believe it would be. We thought is would be nice but it was exceptional. Very comfortable with everything we needed. We had decided we would not leave once we got there so we stopped at the grocery store. We had everything we needed to prepare our meals. For two days it was just the two of us, the comfort of the condo and the wonderful view of the beach. We ate when we wanted, walked on the beach when we wanted, watched the movies we wanted and just had the most wonderful, rejuvinating time. The condo was just the right for us. I highly reccommend this condo to anyone who wants a stress free time. Even the clean up at the end of our stay was nothing, just take out the garbage and start the dishwasher. What could be easier? The whole process of making the reservation, checking in at the gate and finding the property was seamless. We plan to reserve this condo again and to tell our friends and family about it. It really is an outstanding place for rest and relaxation. And who can't use some R&R these days?
Owner's Response: Julie and I were delighted to host this nice couple for their weekend get-away. We take a lot of pride in our condo and work to keep it clean, well maintained and stocked with everything you would expect to find in your own home.

Thank you for the opportunity to earn your business.
Perfect Home Away from Home

This condo was a perfect home away from home. My husband and I took our two kids (ages 5 and 1) along with my husband's mother for a long weekend. Although the building looks older the condo has been recently renovated and is very nice. There are several pools at the resort but we loved the pool right in front of the condo because it was perfectly designed for small children. The pool starts at 1 foot deep and gradually goes to 5 feet deep. I could let my five year old play and not worry about him going too deep. We loved our stay and would recommend this condo to anyone with smaller children.
Great Condo!

This was our second time staying at this condo. We really enjoy staying at the Gulf Shores Plantation. It is very family oriented, clean, and peaceful! The condo is in excellent condition. The only inconvenience was that all the mattresses for the beds were old and not comfortable. All in all we had a great time in Gulf Shores!
Owner's Response: We appreciate all feedback from our guests. We love positive reviews and we it take to heart when one of our customers lets us know of things we can do to improve. This family is a repeat guest at our Gulf Shores Plantation condo and we value their opinion. We to have evaluated the mattresses. They are not old, however we found they were not very high quality after we purchased them. We are replacing them with a better mattress and plan to have new ones in by the end of October.
Excellent Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation. The weather was perfect each and every day, never felt crowded anywhere on the complex. The codo was perfect for our family and exactly as described...no surprises! Wayne and Julie thank you so much for a much needed break at your fantastic condo. Hope to stay with you again next year! Mick and Jenny

Had never been to Gulf Shores and thought we would check it out on our way to Florida for Spring Break. Came across this condo listing and called and booked immediately. Owners were great to work with and were very efficient in setting up our stay.
Condo suited us perfectly - clean and plenty of room. Not far from the pool and beach.
The beaches were some of the best I've been to - even in the Caribbean. Beautiful, white sand and clean.
We didn't have the greatest weather while we were there, but the kids were able to play on the beach the entire time. The wind and current were a little strong for swimming in the ocean.
Husband was able to do some fishing from shore right out front of the condo. He was able to catch many different species of fish including a shark. He loves to fish so he was very content!
I would definitely return. You get a lot for your money here.

This condo was really nice - I was so pleased not to see pink and seafoam green with seashells! It was very tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. It was also a great location - close to the boardwalk and the pools (although they were too cold to swim in when we were there). I saw a lot of complaints about the wi fi - I had trouble getting it to work the first couple days, but after that it worked fine - mainly used it mid-day and didn't have any trouble. The Plantation was nice - we appreciated the fact that it was away from the "busy-ness" of Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. Could use an exterior paint job, but it didn't bother us! We also loved all the nature trails that were close by - too bad you couldn't walk to any right from the plantation. Only other wish is that there was another basketball court - we tried to take our kids several times and it was packed every time! If we ever come back to this area, we would rent this condo again!
It was a great month!

Gulf Shores Plantation is older and seems a little stuck in the 1980s. But the grounds are very clean, well kept, and comfortable. The WiFi access for the complex was a little disappointing. It didn't work about once a week and the support line was impossible to speak to someone. That made it difficult as I attempted to work and logon remotely. In addition to being sporadic access, the internet was very slow - unless you use it in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep. It seems there are just too many people using the same network, which severely slows it down. I had to go to a coffee shop in town several times when I needed faster access. Everyone is very friendly and we had an enjoyable stay. The tennis courts are well kept, in addition to the pools. You also can't go wrong with the beach access - basically right out your door. The beach is nice, but not as great as the beaches in downtown Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, etc. The others are cleaner, longer, etc. Still, you can't go wrong with this location and I'd stay there again. Our unit was VERY clean when we arrived. The owners were very responsive and organized. You can tell they take pride in keeping the place modern and clean. Thanks for a great stay!
Family weekend getaway!

My family and I really enjoyed our visit in this condo. It was extremely clean and well decorated. We had everything that we could possible need. It's a second floor condo with easy access to 2 outdoor pools and an indoor pool close by. We like tennis, so we had to get a game in before we left. We have vacationed at Gulf Shores Plantation for about 10 years now. The best thing I can say about the complex is that it is very family oriented. We feel very safe there and don't feel closed in or crowded at all. Give them a call. The reservation process was very efficient. Great weekend.

9/7/08 -- 9/11/08 We are a young family. We have a 2 year old son and one on the way. Gulf Shores Plantation was so peaceful. It was a stress free vacation that we did not want to end. Our son enjoyed the New East Pool very much. The condo was first class all the way. We felt like we had a home on the beach for a couple days. We will be back soon!
Thanks again Wayne and Julie,
Steve, Tandi, and Carter D.

My husband & I just returned from our stay w/ our neighbors & both of our 7 mo old little boys. Both bedrooms were big enough to accomodate their pack-n-plays, which was a huge plus!! The kitchen was completely stocked w/ everything you'd need to cook. The condo was very clean,cozy,quiet, and close to 2 swimming pools & the boardwalk going out to the beach. The washer/dryer was right down the hall too. The G.S. Plantation was very family oriented & safe. I would definetly stay here again. We also took the Mobile Bay Ferry on our way back home, which saved us some time(only 5 min down the road from the property). Wayne & Julie were great to deal w/ too. They mailed the keys directly to us-no middle man to go through.
