BEST Location ~ Beautiful Oceanfront Condo & Pool

Castaway’s Condominiums is a 36 unit complex in the heart of Gulf Shores and is conveniently located at 327 East Beach Blvd. Our 3rd floor, 2 bedroom condo is on the beach where the view is wonderful with the ocean being just a few steps from the pool. Since this is a low-density complex, there are no crowds, and no long walks so you'll be on our large beach within minutes!

Being just 1/4 mile from the main Gulf Shores intersection we are within walking distance of many souvenir stores and restaurants including a favorite spot, The Hangout, which has live music, outside dining, shopping, games and a variety of entertainment for the whole family. Also we're just a short drive away from the zoo, water and amusement parks, Owa theme park, movie theaters, golf courses, deep sea fishing plus many shopping options including an outlet mall with over 100 stores.

With the incredible beach/ocean front view and the comfy sofa, table and chairs, our balcony is sure to be a favorite spot during your vacation. You will enjoy relaxing while listening to the surf. Be sure to look for the dolphins playing in the ocean during the morning hours. This third floor balcony is perfect for observing family and friends in the pool area.

The open layout in the living area is great for visiting with family and friends and features an expansive beachfront view, a 55” Flat Screen Smart TV, DVD player and sleeper sofa. The kitchen is fully equiped and contains all the cooking essentials and small appliances that you will need plus a washer and dryer.

The spacious master suite has two queen size beds and features a large oceanfront window, a 42' flat screen Smart TV, private access to the balcony, walk-in closet and newly remodeled bathroom. The second bedroom has a king size bed with a twin bunk over it plus a 32’ flat screen Smart TV plus a newly remodeled shower. Each bedroom has a private bathroom with double vanity sink, plenty of storage and a separate bath area.

You will enjoy the beachfront swimming pool which extends underneath the condo for relief from the sun. Lounge chairs are available on the deck and tables with seating available in the shade with two charcoal grills nearby. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rental along with jet-ski’s, kayaks, banana boats, paddle boards and parasailing. The Alabama State park is just minutes away with a great fishing pier and restaurants. Bicycles and motorized scooters are available for rent just across the street.

The Netflix app is available on every TV. We have also provided our guests with board games, books, magazines and DVD's for added relaxation.

We furnished and stocked this condo with your needs in mind. Check out more pictures at www.facebook.com/bettyezbizeebeez/ ~ YOUR VACATION STARTS HERE!!

NOTE: $40 parking fee (per car, max 2) IS INCLUDED in your rental rate. There is no separate or additional charge. Many other condos charge additional "owner fees" fees such as: administrative, property, management, processing and guest registration fees but we do not.

The room was comfortable and homie for a group of 6! The pool was fun for the family. But when we got there to check in, it was late in the evening and the downstairs was dark like a dungeon but once we got the the room it was wonderful!

We stayed 4 nights. Location is great. Close to everything. Condo had everything you could need. Condo needs updating, furniture is old and not comfortable to relax on. Beds were not comfortable. Would be better if the master bedroom had a king size bed rather than 2 full/queen beds.

Perfectly located to all things
This was a cutely decorated, well located 2 bed 2 bath condominium. Wonderful proximity to the beach as well as a heated pool for when the ocean was rough or conditions prohibited going in. Equipped kitchen for eating any or all meals there with enough seating indoor or balcony (4pl). Also close walking distance to loads of restaurants and shops. Toni was gracious and good at getting back to all messages!

Family Spring Break Stay
We visited Gulf Shores with our 2 boys (7 and 10) and this was just perfect for us! I really appreciated how well stocked the condo was with stuff in the kitchen and games to play and much more. The location was great to walk to dinner, ice cream, and of course the beach! It was also wonderful to have a place with separate sleeping areas and bathrooms for us and the kids. We would definitely stay here again!

Kitchen was very adequate, maybe over board on small appliances. Different people have diff needs. A bit on the dark side. Needed lights on. Liv rm was small for seating with one chair and couch. Bathrooms and bedrooms were excellent, size and double sinks were great.

Great Time
This property is perfectly located. Ocean view is amazing plenty of seating on balcony. Lots and lots of appliance in kitchen. Has regular coffee pot and k cup coffee maker. The bathrooms are beautiful. The only negative comment I could say is the shelf in the freezer needs replaced and no ceiling fan in living room. A/C works great. I would highly recommend this place. One more feature for those who have children this condo has a glass screen door on the front door,the balcony can be closed in with shutters and has a ceiling fan on balcony. The property owner was nice and informative that is truly appreciated

Excellent Location
This property was perfect for our short Fall Break Getaway. Everything in the listing is accurate. We had everything we needed and then some. We allowed our sons to bring a friend and we had plenty of space for all of us. The location allowed us to walk everywhere we wanted to eat with the exception of our trip to Cobalts in Orange Beach. Don’t make a trip down here without eating there! My favorite space in the condo was the balcony!! From here you have beautiful sunrises, morning dolphin watching and nighttime naps in the breeze while listening to the waves. We will definitely be back. I will agree with everyone else about the parking lot. It’s tight but we were in a Yukon with a luggage rack on the back and we made it work! We would love to stay here again next year!

Beach Getaway
We enjoyed our quick 3 day stay. The kitchen was furnished better than any I've stayed in before, access to beach toys within the condo and by the pool was an added bonus. Access to the beach was great and kids enjoyed the pool. My only recommendation would be to remove the carpet in the bedrooms and bath. The property manager was prompt to respond with any questions. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Beautiful and Relaxing Stay
Me and my girl friends enjoyed a fun trip at this condo. There was plenty of space for all of us. The beds were comfortable and there were extra pillows and blankets. We stayed in a couple nights to cook and we’re surprised at to find the kitchen fully furnished. There’s even an an air fryer and instant pot. To say the view and location was better than expected is an understatement. The balcony is great and we were walking distance from many stores and restaurants nearby including the Hangout. We never had to uber anywhere which is a plus. We also enjoyed walking to the Pink Pony from the beach for lunch. We plan on making this an annual girls trip!
