Island Sunrise

Very Good
Traveller Type:
  : Great location and view, especially since there was a supermoon our last night there.
  : I brought a 96-year-old friend to Gulf Shores for a bucket list trip. She had not been to the beach in 33 years, and she and I had a wonderful 4 days in Gulf Shores. The condo had a great location and served our needs well. But I do have a couple suggestions to make it better. Is the 10 digit code really necessary on the front door lock? By the time I had it memorized, it was time to leave. I had to carry a piece of paper with me with the numbers written in large letters so I could read them without my reading glasses. But then without my glasses I couldn't see the numbers on the lock, especially in the daytime when there's no light there. The broken ice maker, hence no ice, was a bit of an inconvenience. So was the lack of coat hangers in the closet of the bedroom with 2 beds. The master bedroom closet only had a few, and my travel companion could have used more. The laundry room closet could use a light. Thank goodness I had a flashlight and could prop it so it shone on the machine. Nice machine by the way! And last but certainly not least is that the bed facing the door in the larger bedroom is HORRIBLE! After 4 nights on it, I am going to need either a massage or a trip to the chiropractor or both. As much as I enjoyed the view from #667, there's no way I would stay in it again unless I knew for sure it had new mattresses.
