Disliked: Cleanliness
The view was great and we were right on the beach. The condo itself was okay but needed some work. The unit had pubic hair on the toilets and the floors had not been mopped. In addition a dried dirty washcloth was hanging from the shower rod. I did not contact management as I did not want cleaners coming in after we had our things in. Instead I cleaned the areas we used with Clorox wipes and we did not go barefooted in the condo.

Nice place. It had a weird layout but it we made due. The elevator went out a few times and was very slow but still better than walking up 6 floors. Comfy beds and nice living area.

Great view & location

It should’ve provided quality toiletries. Great location. Easy check in & check out process. It will be great to have blinders in the living room. Also, not dryer & washer machines inside the unit. That wasn’t clear enough when we booked.

Very nice place to stay. The view of the beach is stunning. We spent most evenings listening to the waves. We had a few items not right when we checked in. Some light bulbs out and missing batteries in some remotes.The response to the problems was quick and thorough! Thanks!

Size of building was great. Not crowded Excellent location and security present at all times. The condo was clean but mattreses and towels definitely need to be updated. We booked this condo because it was available for a three night rental. The "bar" of provided soap was the size of a half dollar. Towels are threadbare and thin. I wouldn't use them as rags. Be sure to bring a good towel and bar of soap!

Nice View with a Few Problems

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived at the complex we were informed that the elevator was not working. We were staying on the top floor, 6th, and as we were just 2 older ladies there was no way that we could take everything up by stairs. It took 3 days to fix! Unacceptable! We fill like we should be compensated something. Other than that, which was horrible, and hardly any water pressure for showers, the beach and food was great for Gulf Shores. I would recommend staying here as long as the elevator works.
