Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
This 8th-floor unit, Phoenix 10 #813, is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath gulf-front condo located directly on the ocean in Florida, just steps from the famous Flora-Bama. It's part of the Phoenix X building, managed by Ocean South Properties, and offers fabulous elevated views of the Gulf from a private balcony.
Rooms & Living Space
The condo sleeps a full family across three bedrooms: a master with a king bed, a second room with two full-sized beds, and a third with a queen. The living room offers ample seating and a flat screen TV, with balcony access from both the living room and the master bedroom, while the kitchen comes fully stocked with cookware, a standard coffee maker, and a Keurig.
Amenities & Recreation
The Phoenix X complex features a large zero-entry outdoor pool with a waterfall, a kiddie pool, and a large indoor heated pool with three hot tubs. Additional on-site recreation includes a fitness center, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, a racquetball court, and a grilling area with charcoal grills and a prep table. An elevator and protected parking garage are also available, along with in-unit conveniences like a washer, air conditioning, heating, and free Wi-Fi.
Dining & Nearby Restaurants
The condo sits just 201 meters from Flora-Bama Ole River Grill and 243 meters from The Flora-Bama Yacht Club, putting iconic Gulf Coast dining and entertainment within a short walk. Several seafood restaurants, including Cobalt the Restaurant, The Gulf, Tacky Jacks Orange Beach, and Pelican Grill, are all within roughly 3-4 kilometers.
Location & Access
Beach access is directly on-site, and Gulf Shores International Airport at Jack Edwards Field is about 14.7 kilometers away, making regional flights convenient. Pensacola International Airport, Mobile Regional Airport, and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport are all within roughly 38 to 98 kilometers for broader travel options.
Best for
This condo suits families and multi-generational groups seeking a beachfront stay with spacious separate bedrooms, a full kitchen, and resort-style amenities like the zero-entry pool, kiddie pool, and indoor heated pool with hot tubs. It's also a strong fit for travelers who want to be steps from Flora-Bama's dining and nightlife while still enjoying quiet balcony views of the Gulf. Guests age 25 and over will find it ideal, as the property does not rent to anyone under that age.
Travel tips
Parking passes are not included in the reservation and must be purchased separately at $60 per vehicle, with a maximum of two passes per unit, so it's worth registering before arrival; note that oversized trucks, RVs, campers, boats, and trailers are not permitted on the property. Gulf Shores International Airport is the closest airport at about 14.7 kilometers, making it the most convenient arrival point, while Pensacola, Mobile, and Destin-Fort Walton Beach airports offer additional options within roughly an hour's drive. Since Flora-Bama and several restaurants are within walking distance, guests can easily skip driving for meals during their stay.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the condo's cleanliness and welcoming feel upon arrival, along with the standout Gulf views from the balcony, which many describe as a highlight of their stay. Reviewers also highlight the roomy, spacious layout of the unit and the strong on-site facilities and beachfront location. Communication from Ocean South Properties is frequently mentioned as a positive, with guests noting helpful updates, tips, and check-ins throughout their trip. One recurring critique is that the indoor pool could use updating, suggesting some wear in that shared amenity despite overall satisfaction.
