October vacation
The eat in area of this unit has way too much furniture, get rid of the hutch as we couldn't even use bar stools. Pots and pans were in poor condition to cook with. The hotel next door was extremely loud pressure washing carpets early in the mornings. Great view but that was about all.

Great view and location!
We feel that the condo needs quite a bit of updating and TLC. It is also very poorly stocked - not even a salt shaker or coffee filters! When you’re only staying a few days, those little touches are appreciated. The light in the second bathroom didn’t always work, fans were loud, pillows were hard, other things were broken, sink in ensuite didn’t drain. We couldn’t use one of the closets since a huge foam “thing” was stuffed into it ! The unit was however clean and the location and beach are great.

Great place to stay right on beach
Was a good place to stay. The building itself did not look that great but the room was really nice with a great view. I would stay here again. Only thing I did not like was being called to see if a realtor coupd show the place on 2 seperate occasion s but we was not obligated to allow them to.

Only one complaint
Beautiful property and location. My only complaint is about beachball properties. They called me and wanted to show the condo to someone while we were staying there. Then they acted like I should know it was for sale when nothing online or in my contract indicated that. I told them I didn’t want to pack up everything and stage our condo in the middle of our trip for an hour showing during my family’s vacation. I thought that was very inconsiderate since they had half a day to show it the next day between us and another renter. The last thing someone on vacation with two small kids wants to do is clean a condo last minute and have it show ready for a Realtor. The photos and everything looks as it is listed online, but it being for sale should’ve been noted. Had I known it would be a Realtor calling I wouldn’t have answered my phone. Had I know I might be asked this, I would’ve booked a different property.

Comfy condo on the beach
Everything was just as advertised: kitchen was well-equipped, bedrooms were comfortable, location was great. The only thing that needs attention is the slow drain in the hallway bathroom. But we would stay here again. .

Clean, affordable beachfront condo
My family enjoyed the condo. Great price for a beachfront 2 bedroom 2 bath. It's close to everything yet quiet. The building itself could use some work (i.e. the giant step down to the beach from the outdoor shower deck), the beds sloped a little, and there were some minor maintenance concerns that were reported to the management company, but compared to the price of other places, it was totally worth it.

Great beach vacation!
This is the 3rd year we have stayed at The Whaler, with each year in a different condo (mainly because I can't book a year in advance) and each year we have been pleased. The condo we stayed in this fall had everything we needed for a great vacation. Parking passes were waiting for us on the counter when we arrived. Keyless entry was wonderful. Property is on the beach and you can rent a nice umbrella for $20/day and chairs for a little more. It's a very short walk to Sea N Suds restaurant right on the beach, which we visit each year. Lots of golf nearby for my husband. Lots of sun and sand for me. Everything was perfect and we plan to visit again!

Great Getaway
The condo was pretty much exactly what we expected! Very clean and cozy. Loved the balcony. There was a person from the rental property there when we tried to check in at 4pm and we were told to wait. It wasn’t long but it would’ve been nice to be able to go in when advertised. The condo is well stocked, too!

1st Visit to Gulf Shores
The condo, 3C, was exactly like the pictures. Beautifully decorated and very clean, so don't let the outside appearance cause alarm. The kitchen was fully stocked with what was needed. I stayed in the main bedroom and the king size bed was so very comfortable! Not many condos in this building, so the elevator was always available. On that note, with one elevator, there were times it was not working but seemed to be fixed rather quickly. I would definitely stay there again!
