Summerchase Condominium

The main drawback was the limited parking. Keep track of your parking pass, since they enforce it strictly and may issue a ticket if they ask to see it. The sixth floor has elevators and plenty of sleeping space. The balcony, living area, and kitchen all face the water, with a beautiful Gulf view. There's a washer and dryer on site and large walk-in showers. The kitchen has a dishwasher, coffee pot, oven, large fridge, and lots of counter space.

The property was disgusting, and I felt uncomfortable from the moment I pulled into the parking lot. I paid $1,000 for three nights, but you couldn't go out on the balcony and the pools were closed. What a horrible experience. It was my first time in Alabama and it'll be my last. If I could give this place zero stars, I would.

There are several stores nearby, and I was able to walk to one. There's a crosswalk close by too. The place is pretty and has a beach view, with a nice pool, kiddie pool, indoor hot tub, ping pong table, and fitness room.

Summerchase has a lot to offer, including indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, kiddie pool, BBQ area, volleyball net, fitness center, and meeting room. It's the best run COA on the island and checks all the boxes. The board brings a wealth of knowledge, stays proactive, and has a thorough hurricane preparation plan. There are two, three, and four bedroom units. Parking can be limited in summer, so plan ahead.
