Gulf Shores Surf and Racquet Club by Youngs Sun Coast

The grounds are cleaned daily, the pool is large but unheated. The hot tub bubbles do not work well, they just bubble up the side and don't reach your back. But it is hot and nice to sit in on a cold day. The south side faces the ocean and there is beach access with a outside shower to rinse off the salt when you get back. The north side has a covered fishing pier where you can watch the sunsets. They have a quite time from 11pm-8am, which is strictly enforced. (Yay!) It costs $25 to park your car for the time you are staying there. The unit we stayed in was old, dinged up, and smelly. You could hear the neighbors comings and goings (literally), flushing toilets and taking showers. The blinds on the window did not stop any light from coming in as the halls are brightly illuminated all night long. The bed did not have a box spring, so it was very hard. The sofa bed does not accommodate adults it was so old. The refrigerator had a long list of how to use it, as it was so old. The balcony had a fantastic view of the ocean, however, the neighbors who all chain smoked ruined being able to sit out and enjoy a coffee. The unit was managed by Brett Robinson, and when told about issues of the unit, they said: "we will tell the owners". I will not ever trust Brett Robinson with my vacation in Alabama ever again.

Nice facility that is overall quite clean. Our accommodations needed some overall maintenance and the elevators in the building are down. The pool is clean and beautiful, hot tub is actually hot which is nice. The beach access is clean but this area has a short beachfront. We have enjoyed our stay here

This is a very clean, well kept condo complex with easy access to the beach. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is in a good location, on the quiet end, so less traffic, less crowds. The only reason I could not give 5 stars was because of the pool. It is a beautiful pool area, but they do not heat the pool at all. If it is not the heat of summer, it is absolutely miserable and you can not utilize the gorgeous pool. That is one thing that would deter me from booking again, but everything else was perfect.
