Island Shores has been described as a beachfront landmark and has been since 1981. This unit is priced like many "side view" units but it is a direct gulf front West corner condo with fantastic views from the kitchen and den. Too many upgrades to mention so set an appointment to see for yourself. Walk to Sea and Suds and never move your car or put on your shoes. Island Shores is an iconic complex in the middle of all the fun that Gulf Shores can offer. As a bottom floor, west corner unit, it is close to the grills, pool and on site laundry. Never worry about catching the elevator with this updated unit. The complex had a million dollar update last year. Showings will be limited to the turn a round days as it is a highly desirable unit with frequent bookings. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
