Spent a week in this lovely condo. Nicely decorated. Great location at the beach and a short walk to Bahama Bob's, Hangout, and souvenir shops. Definitely would stay here again.
Overall, this was a nice rental located right on the beach and walking distance to several restaurants and shops. Upstairs loft bedroom was hot but we found a box fan and used that. The only can opener we found was rusty and didn't work so we had to make a store run to get a new one which we left behind for the next guests to use. Other than that, nothing to complain about.
We loved this location. It was so perfect for my family as we just welcomed a little baby into our family and we needed a stay where we could go back and forth to the vrbo and beach easily. We were a little nervous about sharing a porch with others because of our kids liking to run around but it wasnât a problem at all. The vrbo is well stocked just make sure you bring hand soap.
We were happy with the location but not with the lack of cleanliness. It is clear in the photos that the unit is dated, which is fine, but to get there and have an excess of unclean areas was not fine. When i reached out to the property company about this, they said they realized it was dated, as if that was the cleanliness issue, but it wasnt. They sent housekeeping to come clean unannounced and people were showering and getting ready, so that was frustrating. I would not stay here again and could not recommend it to a friend. (Hair in floor/counters, plastic silverware up in bedroom floor, boogers wiped on wall, black mold in sink, shower, and washer, etc are just a few things that were not acceptable to us)
This property was perfect for our group! The location was amazing, close to the Hangout and other restaurants, while also being right on the beach. Would love if the community pool could be heated during spring break, as the water was very cold! But overall we had a great stay and would definitely go back!
GREAT Location but disappointing management and bad housekeeping.
This location is great - walking distance to restaurants and shops and the beachfront location is wonderful! If it were not for the issues we've had with this listing and the cleanliness, we would rent again next year.
(1) Details are not all listed on this listing! We arrived on Sunday - listing says check in BEGINS at 4 - details provided after booking and mgmt said office closes AT 4pm and to avoid late check-in charges, we needed to arrive earlier than 4. We changed travel plans so we could arrive before 4pm. When we spoke with the management company about this, they seemed uncaring about the discrepancy - this detail was important because we reserved this at a point where no refund was offered after securing the booking! Management company seemed not to care about the discrepancy in the listing when we spoke on the phone.
(2) Listing does not tell you that you pay for parking ($32) in CASH ONLY upon arrival even though it was already prepaid in the reservation. We were promptly refunded the amount when we checked out, but this added another errand when we arrived - finding an ATM.
(3) Housekeeping done on this listing was NOT acceptable. it has the usual older worn amenities that are common to a beach rental and that isn't an issue, but the bedding was stained AND dirty. We washed the blankets and it removed some of the marks but not all - staining is evident. Found pans under the cabinet that had not been washed and caked with old grime. Cabinets were grease stained
Our three kids (ages 11-14) slept in the loft bedroom (3 beds), which was perfect. Some people don't like carpet (stairs and bedrooms) but I love it. We loved having the semi private deck with direct beach access. The only issue we had was that one of the tv remotes had a corroded battery compartment, so that TV was out of service (one of the bedrooms). But overall it was a wonderful stay!
Overall a good stay! You share a porch with two other townhouses- The bedrooms are located on 2nd and 3rd floor. The house was clean with the exception of the fans! The bedroom on the 3rd floor was pretty warm so bring a fan, the rest of the house cooled really well! We enjoyed having a half bath on the main floor! Close range to everything- a nice townhouse on the beach front! Check in process was easy, check out process was easy. A little crowded beach area, but thatâs what you get to be in the center of gulf shores! We loved having restaurants and souvenir shops across the street! Overall a good stay with all the amenities pretty close! Itâs an overall great stay for the price!
loved this stay! Right on beach-literally walk out from porch and walk to chairs on the beach. White sand. It was optimal. We have four kids and we felt safe to allow the older ones to run back to the beach house for a bit without us. The condo was plenty big for our family of 6.
Things to note: master bath was very small. Only one kitchen towel and one rag and nothing to scrub dishes with in the kitchen. We cook a lot bc of the size of our family and these things were disappointing to me. oh, and no measuring spoons. I always bring SO many things with us and have never had to bring those items before. Also, something odd was there were no comforters. After thinking about this, it is understandableâI cannot imagine washing all of that every week but It seems it should be noted. We would have brought more blankets/throws. The only other negative is that you do share a balcony. You have your own space but just not the same as having your own spot.
There are chair/umbrella rentals available to on the beach out front, which is super handy,
We have four kids ranging from 15-6 and have always stayed at a large condo w huge pool and we werenât sure if they would like this as much bc of the amenities we usually have but they ALL said they much preferred the smaller condo RIGHT on the beach to the huge high rise condo on the beach. Just thought I would share that in case someone else is considering the same thing.
We have stayed at this unit many times and never disappointed! The views and location is amazing . Walking distance to many restaurants and shops too. The townhouse was clean and prepped and loved the upgrade in the unit .
