Family New Years Getaway!
We had the BEST vacation! The property was very nice and clean! The Penthouse has a Wonderful view of the ocean! Very spacious, we really liked that the master bedroom was separated from the other bedrooms. Centrally located to restaurants and shopping. For a day trip...take the ferry at Ft. Morgan to Dauphin Island! We would DEFINITELY stay here again!

Nice weekend
We had a wonderful time staying at the condo. The inside is very nice and it was one of very few condos that had 3 beds size full or bigger. The only complaint I have is that the parking for the penthouse was tight for a full size vehicle doable but tight. The beach access was very nice too, easy to get out there, but not busy. All in all it was a great weekend!

Party of five
Great Location right on the beach. The rooms were clean the only issue was climbing the stairs. We planned to do some cleaning before we left and the day before we were gonna check out we noticed that we did not have a vacuum. I messaged the owner and they delivered a brand new one for the room. I would stay here again with my family.

This house was beautiful inside with amazing views. It was easy to get to the beach. For those coffee lovers, right across the street is piere 33, they have amazing esspresso! The only thing i suggest is bringing more blankets if you have a large group, or kids who wont share blankets as there really isnt enough blankets for the pull out beds. (Their was enough sheets though!) Overall we would stay here again! Great location, great house, easy and quick access to beach... doesnt get much better than that!

Vacation in Gulf Shores at Harbor House A1
My vacation in Gulf Shores staying at Harbor House A1 was fabulous! The condo has everything you need. It's right on the Beach, so there is easy access and you are able to go back and forth to and from the condo as you need. It has a wonderful pool if you don't feel like being on the sand. We were able to make dinner there some nights instead of going out and when we felt like going out, there are plenty of great places close to the condo. I will definitely go back there for another vacation!!

Penthouse Perfection
Our stay at Harbor House A1 was absolute perfection. Plenty of room for everyone with a large living room and the Sunroom was an added bonus, with a spectacular view. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony every morning while sipping coffee and watching the sunrise. Beach access is super simple and we enjoyed a view of the ocean, while cooking dinner each evening. The kitchen was well stocked with all the appliances you need, and we even found a blender for our milkshake craving. The bedrooms were very spacious and the front two overlook the ocean. We couldn't be happier with our stay and we plan to return again next year.

We really enjoyed the condo. The sunroom is nice for watching the waves and wildlife. The walks up the stairs are not fun. The buildings small elevator for groceries and luggage no longer works. The jacuzzi style tub doesn’t work

Our stay
Stayed in penthouse A1. There was no lighting in the stairwell. All cabinets and drawers should have knobs on them. The 2 bedrooms on the right side of the penthouse were extremely warm. Parking passes were mentioned , but none were left. Nice place overall. Great view of the Gulf. Very clean and would recommend to a friend.

Spacious and good for the price
Good: reasonable price. Checkin was easy. Location was great. Right on beach. Heated pool. Near restaurants and shopping. Spacious. Great parking. Loved the finished balcony. Not great: No elevator made it difficult on 3rd floor for loading and unloading. The property was clean but in average condition overall. Decor was dated. Several Repairs needed. Undersized water heater for a unit that sleeps 11.

A1 Penthouse
Nice place, but the oven didn't work, nor did the jacuzzi tub jets and ran out of hot water before it was even half full. Dryer didn't heat up very well, so it took forever to dry anything. Also it's up on the 3rd floor and there are no elevators.

Wasnt handicapped accessible
The internet didnt work , the front refrigerator didnt get cold on the bottom half, hot water was very limited. Also its not handicapped accessible when i put that as a filter this unit pulled up as handicapped accessible. My sister is in a wheelchair most of the time so that was very hard to get her up to the penthouse .

Wonderful View, Large Space, Very Comfortable, Unique Penthouse Apt.
We shared this unique penthouse with another couple. Because it was a split apartment with two bedrooms and a bath on one side and one bedroom with bath on the other, we had plenty of privacy and space. The view of the ocean was superior. As it was cold outside for part of our visit, we enjoyed a cozy and comfortable place to sit and view the people, beach, ocean, birds, and dolphins. As other reviewers have mentioned, the three flights of stairs presented a challenge and there was some wear visible on appliances and furniture. The two main bedrooms had king beds that were very comfortable. The dryer broke after one use. Someone stopped in to look at it in less than 10 minutes after Beach Ball Properties was called! It was fixed the next morning. I would very much recommend this unit for anyone that can manage the steps. (We are 76.)

End of summer getaway
Nice location close to everything especially the beach. It is an older property with cosmetic flaws but overall nice place with lots of room for large groups or a few couples. All the photos are very accurate to the accommodations within the condo. Biggest disappointment was the windows in the sun room really looked forward to sitting in the evening with them open to listen to the waves crashing in, however the side balcony doors do allow a lot of sound to come up into the room. We are very hot natured and keep a cool house 68-69 so when the thermostat automatically resets to 74 every couple hours we were very annoyed to say the least I woke up in the middle of the night every night to turn it back down. Going up and down the stairs were by far the hardest part of the stay it is definitely not recommended for seniors to rent this property.

Great Location But A Few Snags
The Good: Location is right on the beach. Floor plan and sleeping situation was perfect for our group of 7 adults and one toddler. Building is somewhat older but comfortable. Food market only minutes away by foot was very convenient. Covered parking was very handy and we stored beach stuff in the cars, which saved us from carrying it all up the stairs and kept the sand out of the unit. One of our cars was an SUV with a car top carrier. It was too tall for the covered parking so we had to leave it out in the sun. The sun room and balconies were very nice... great views, always a breeze, felt like you were on the beach but only steps away from the fridge.
The kitchen was well supplied with cookware and appliances. We did receive a message advising us of limited amounts of trash bags, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, bath tissue, bath soap, etc. It would have been nice to get this information sooner since we were already packed and on the road when we found this out.
The Bad: Our check in time was 4:00, but received a text at 3:00 letting us know we would not be able to get in until 6:00 because the cleaners were running late. Pretty much screwed up our first evening.
To walk to the beach you must pass through a locked gate. In the unit there were 2 key fobs which provided access. With 7 adults, 2 fobs were not enough. I called to try to get more but was denied. The convienience of being right on the beach was offset a bit by having to constantly shuffle the key fobs around everytime someone went back or forth.
The other: We ended up using Ike's beach service to rent an umbrella and a couple chairs. This service was very convenient and tho not cheap, well worth not having to set stuff up and take it down every day.
In conclusion I felt this rental was a good value and we had nice time staying there. If I went back with the same group of people, I might shop around just to compare but wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again.

We have been renting Harbor House condos for about 30 + years now. We love each condo we stay in. It’s quiet in the neighborhood, easy access to the beach and very family oriented. Will continue to stay here every year. Highly recommend!

Gulf Shores Vaca
Pictures are spot on. Had some minor things the day we arrived but the rest of the trip was great. Would recommend for parking that something be added for the height requirements as we were not able to park in our designated spot.
