It may have been around $1000 per couple. I don't totally remember. Condo was $1k-$1200 for the 3 nights after taxes and cleaning fees, so $500-$600 a couple. It was just an average condo, but the cost per night is more when you don't go 7 nights, plus it ends up more when you aren't splitting with a larger group in a bigger condo.

$500 for dining out, getting food on the way there and way back, stocking up on beer for when we get there, and then the groceries we bought once we arrived for our night of cooking is very believable.

I just remember we had gone to Chicago the year before and my total spend was around $1400, so I was surprised Gulf Shores cost me not much less at $1k. Granted, we had gotten killer deals on hotel/flights to Chicago.
