First time to the beautiful white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores did not disappoint...except for the weather, which had shown highs in the upper 70's when I started looking...kept going down, down, down to like the 50's most days, with brisk winds!!! Needless to say, I never made it to the beach!!! I am a creature that has to have at least upper 70's to mid 80's! I was very disappointed!!! The condo was very nice...would go back there in a heartbeat! Our unit was on 3rd floor, beachfront, with a fabulous view of the ocean, so I just had to enjoy that part, but way too cold for me!
