    Tropic Isles sits in the heart of Gulf Shores on West Beach Boulevard, 0.5 miles west of Highway 59, close enough to walk to The Hangout, Pink Pony Pub, and the best restaurants on West Beach Boulevard, far enough to stay on the quieter side of the main strip.

    The 8-floor low-density building means significantly fewer crowds than the big towers, and the entire building has been renovated from top to bottom, including a new roof, windows, exterior walls and paint, elevator, parking lot, and all new pool furniture and shower area.
