We've stayed at the Boardwalk a few times. The location is the best in Gulf Shores. We walked to many restaurants, especially Sea-N-Suds, Waffle House, and the Pancake House at the Best Western. There are many more within walking distance. Unit 684 is a nice 1 bedroom 1 bath. It seems to be recently updated with newer appliances, cabinets and... More

This particular unit (884) is outdated & in very bad condition, not exactly the romantic location we were hoping for. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the huge hole in the wall next to the door & the broken plastic "guard". The door looks like someone tried to break "out" of the unit from the inside-the... More

My daughter and I booked this condo on a "name your price" site. We got the "CONDO" for 59.00 per night for 3 nights. After our fees it was about $215.00 for the stay. Not unreasonable for a CONDO on the beach. Once we checked in however, we were informed of a $149.90 surcharge by Suncoast Realty. This made the... More

I stayed here with my family for a week in June 2012. We rented through Alabama Beach Vacation Rentals, unit 683. I chose Boardwalk because the price was fair, I liked the location on the east end of the beach, near the state park, and because the pool is on the beach side of the building rather than facing the...

First and foremost, I think people need to keep in mind that the individual condos are owned by individuals. The building itself is older, but seems to be well kept. The elevators were always in working order, and when the wind blew open one of the glass doors and shattered it, the staff there had it fixed immediately. The pool... More

This place is great, its right on the beach and right in front of Sea-N-Suds the best place to eat in Gulf Shores. We love to stay here every year. Highly recommend it!

We have stayed several times at the Boardwalk and have tried various other condo units but we always come back to the Bwalk. Yes, it is an older building and some of the units have not been upgraded but we come to GS for the beach and the food. Within walking distance of several selections of good eateries and beach...

Our fist time visiting Gulf Shores Alabama and we loved it. We stayed at the Boardwalk and loved being on the beach. The condo we had needed some updating but it was very clean and that's more important to me than the decor. If I visit Gulf Shores again I would stay there.

This was the smallest condo I have ever seen. Lights were burned out, outlits did not work, so bring an extension cord. The internet was as slow as christmas and the remote only went down not up. We will not stay here again.
