The condo was really nice, however the beach view from the balcony is a little different from what it actually is. Overall, we enjoyed it and will probably come back.
Thank you for choosing The Shell Shack in Gulf Shores, AL, and for taking the time to share your experience. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. We’re sorry for any misunderstanding about the balcony view — the photos in our listing are of the actual view, but we’ll take another look to make sure everything is shown as clearly as possible.

Owner of the condo was just a text away and very helpful throughout the stay. We loved the location and the whole experience. You would not even have to leave the property to enjoy yourself. Theres plenty to do

From the owner:
"Thank you for staying at The Shell Shack. We’re so happy you enjoyed your vacation and enjoyed the resort."
We had the best time! Everything you need is provided and the grounds had so much to offer- indoor pool and hot tub plus two beachside pools. Easy access to the beach (view of the ocean from the balcony) and the buildings have recently been updated on the exterior and look very nice.
From the Owner: "We are so excited to hear about your experience at The Shell Shack in beautiful Gulf Shores, AL. You are right about the amenities on the property, there is so much to do and see! We appreciate the comments on the grounds and buildings! The property did recently go through a multi-million dollar renovation and it looks great! We hope that you do return soon!"
This was our first family vacation as a family of 5 and it was amazing! I highly recommend booking here if you have kiddos. It was so easy and many things to do to keep kiddos occupied. Definitely will be booking again! The condo was a decent size for all 5 of us. And our host, Chasity, was so nice and helpful!
From the owner: "Your amazing family deserved this vacation on the beaches of beautiful Gulf Shores, AL! It sounds like you all had a wonderful time at The Shell Shack. Remember your time here and cherish the memories forever. We are so fortunate to have you book with us, and are even more happy to hear that you enjoyed your time at the resort. We thank you so very much and look forward to hosting again soon!"
We stay here for a week because of a business conference & my family loved it. The amenities are amazing, the host was able to accommodate an early check in, she’s super responsive. The beach is about 100 yards out. The balcony has an awesome view of the beach. The unit is super cozy. Overall we had an amazing time & are hoping to come again soon since we made some really great friends here!
From the owner: "You all are the most wonderful group. Thank you for your review! We are so delighted that you enjoyed your stay and that everyone had a wonderful time! We hope you stay with us again next time!"
