Great place to stay

We had a great time and gulf shores and the condo was the best place we’ve ever stayed. It’s super clean and very well stocked. You literally just have to bring food and clothes. I’ve never stayed somewhere that had bikes, beach towels and toys, wagons. You name it and it has it. The condo is so beautiful and steps away from the lagoon, beach, and a pool. I love the outdoor shower and hose to rinse everything off. I couldn’t ask for more!

Deb's review of your place

WOW! We loved our stay and everything about this condo! Angela is very quick to respond and was wonderful to work with. We flew for the first time to Gulf Shores with three little boys (normally we drive) so having the beach carts, chairs, towels, and toys available was so helpful! Having bikes available was really nice as well! The kitchen had everything we needed plus it was nice to have spices in the cabinet. So many places don't even have salt and pepper. The coffee station was EXTREMELY well stocked. We didn't use any of the syrups, etc. but can see how many people would love it. The bathrooms are clean and beautiful and shower pressure was great! Beds are super comfortable. Angela really thinks of everything. It was like going to a friend's place who wanted to make sure you would be comfortable. We will definitely be back! Thank you Angela for a fun and relaxing vacation!

Katie's review of your place

My family of 5 had an amazing time here! The place was very beautiful, quiet, and I felt very safe in this neighborhood. Angela’s house had everything even an air fryer, which is something our family uses everyday at our home so finding it on vacation was such a blessing. Angela was very friendly and always responded quickly to all my messages. We walked to the beach everyday and rode bikes and had the absolute best time. There are 4 bathrooms in this house with showers!!! No one ever had to wait for someone to get out of the bathroom! There was a small hiccup with the door on the last day and Angela was extremely responsive and had someone out there within minutes. All together this was the best vacation my family has ever been on. 10/10 recommend. Thank you Angela for such a lovely place for our family to make lifetime memories. 😊

We had a wonderful stay at Angela’s beach house! The house is very close to the beach and bay(they guys enjoyed fishing in the bay). We loved the coffee bar and the welcome snacks! Lots beach gear and it was all in good condition. Very close to restaurants and activities. The house is located in a quiet community. Would definitely stay here again!

The beach house was absolutely gorgeous. my family truly enjoyed their stay. The 5 minute walk to the beach was super easy, safe and convenient and all the additional amenities for kids, mainly the baby, were an absolute blessing. Will definitely come back

Jamie's review of your place

We absolutely loved our stay! The house fit us well (family of 7), that bathrooms and kitchen were well stocked. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, plus another full bath downstairs which is extremely helpful. We loved that the home was not in the middle of Gulf Shores, but was a bit more calm and quiet. The walk to the beach was quick, and walking under the bridge to avoid traffic was wonderful. We all appreciated the beach wagon and all of the beach supplies/toys that were stored in the outdoor closet. Angela was quick to respond with any questions we had. And check out was a breeze!

We really enjoyed our stay at Change in Latitude! The location was perfect for us. Nice walk to the beach and away from the busyness of Gulf Shores but close enough for restaurants and shopping -if you wanted to! After being on the road it was nice to be settled for a few days. So thankful for the coffee bar and the choices provided! Needed it!😊Snacks and water was also appreciated. Angela’s place was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The beach supplies made the day at the beach easy. Loved the float, was on it most of the time. We saw a dolphin pop up from time to time and lots of fish jumping. The lagoon was very nice, we got to watched a stingray swim around. Angela was an awesome host. Very responsive, helpful and kind. We will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing your home and making us feel at home!!!
