Close to Town; Ultra Low-Density on the Beach; Only 18 Condos!.
Welcome to Southern Sands 303, a beachfront 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo in Gulf Shores with Gulf views, a private balcony, an outdoor pool, and one of the most walkable locations on West Beach.

The kitchen features granite countertops, a stainless steel flat-top range, stainless steel dishwasher, over-the-range microwave, refrigerator with ice maker, and USB charging outlets.
The living room includes a 50-inch Ultra HD Smart TV with DirecTV plus access to streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime using your own accounts. A Bluetooth tower speaker is also available.

Southern Sands is now a completely smoke-free property. Smoking is not allowed inside the condo, on balconies, or elsewhere on the property except in the covered designated smoking area near the BBQ area.
Location is one of the biggest advantages of Southern Sands 303. The complex is located along West Beach Boulevard just west of the main Gulf Shores intersection and is within easy walking distance of The Hangout, Gulf Shores Public Beach, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, ice cream, and local beach stores.
Island Outfitters is directly across the street, with additional food and treats located about half a block away.
For guests searching for a Gulf Shores beachfront condo where you can walk instead of drive everywhere, Southern Sands 303 is an excellent choice.

Place was clean and smelled fresh upon arrival. Rooms were spacious and well equipped. Only complain is I wish there was a boardwalk leading to the beach and it would be perfect.

Great location! Walking distance to restaurants and shops. I liked the smaller property. Our unit could have used some updating but was A great size for a family of 4. Beach access was close to the chair rental and parasailing place.

Great condo
Location couldn’t be better. Easy walk to beach. Elevators, carts and parking were great. The condo itself was nice, but was missing some basic kitchen items. Always bring everything you need and dont expect things like toilet paper, garbage bags, kitchen scissors, etc. Condo was nice enough, and no complaints. Just missing a little extra….

Perfect vacation
Condo was just as described. Comfortable beds, big enough condo for a family of five (3 boys 10-14yrs old). You can’t get much closer to the beach too! Amazing view, clean and you can walk to gift shops, restaurant's and party stores. My only complaint has NOTHING to do with the condo or owners and hopefully won’t happen on your trip, but every morning at 4:30am we were woke up by the revving of a garbage truck, its back up alarm and the loud sound of the neighboring buildings dumpster being pushed out of the building, dumped then pushed back into the building! So maybe bring some ear plugs or run a fan while you sleep. Again, I wouldn’t let that stop me from renting again, just be prepared that’s all. I’d 100% come back to this condo.

Great location, fair accommodations
Property is in a great location, has good proximity to the beach. Nice outdoor balcony seating.
Now, here’s the constructive comments-
Carpet is a wrong choice for a beach property - period. Most of the furniture is way outdated / some is dirty and should be thrown out. (Stained pull out mattress/couch). Would recommend replacing the twin mattresses. Towels were thin/ threadbare. Below average for kitchen appointments…
My friends rented the unit unit next door and it was completely updated (for the same price)
Look elsewhere, folks
I love this complex, but will not stay in this unit again

Both the eating and cooking utensils were not washed. There was a bathing suit left out on the deck. Honestly the most disgusting part was the dishes. I attempted to contact Vrbo and of course they stated the property would not refund the cleaning fees. What is the point of cleaning fees if the property is not clean when I arrive and then I have to also to clean when I depart.
The place was also outdated and the deck is not technically completely private. No boardwalk to beach. Was over priced.

This is the one!
Our extended family rented 3 units here. This unit was our favorite of the three. The kitchen layout was nice with an island that really helped cooking meals for 3 separate groups. There were plenty of small plastic cups for the kiddos and fancy stuff for adults. The pots and pans selection could have been better, but did what we needed.
The view is great. You can see the beach and ocean well, but also the pool. The units closest to the beach can see up and dow the shoreline but we liked being able to monitor the activities at the pool too.
The bed/bath layout is nice. I appreciated having a bathroom separate from my kids for once.
We grilled a couple of times and that was awesome.
The pool is very well taken care of, clean, and doesn't seem over chlorinated or anything.
We walked to most places we ate at. Very close to several great restaurants.
Our keycode didn't work upon arrival but we were able to contact mgmt and get in realatively quickly. Thanks!
The beach here is awesome. The sand is very fine and feels great to walk on! So clean!!!
Our unit had no musty smells and had a great breeze going through it. AC worked well when we needed it.

We liked that the property was on the beach and convenient to restaurants. We had a queen size bed and two twin beds. There was a pullout couch that we didn’t use. The water pressure was poor and the shower/toilet in master was a bit tight. It mentioned sleeps 6 but the table holds 4 and bar was small. Could have used another chair in addition to the couch for more comfort. I’d also recommend blackout curtains in the master bedroom—blinds didn’t block the light well and not sure how to solve for noise from neighbors banging around and we could hear them on their balcony in the bedroom.

The condo was a beautiful unit. I would like to have been left more garbage can liners since only one was left for the entire week in the condo. Additionally I would like to have at least two rolls of paper towels and additional toilet paper also. If possible if the condo is being cleaned and ready for someone to check in the same afternoon as someone leaving that morning could the ice maker be left on so that the tenants checking in would have ice available and not have to go out to get ice while the ice maker starts working.

Great location
Great location and beautiful view of the ocean. Easy walk to restaurants, shopping and other activities. Could use updates to the beds. Twin beds were very uncomfortable and the queen bed was very hard.
