Beautiful Beachfront!

Great Beach House

Beautiful beach house, nice pool, could improve cleanliness, lots of remotes missing, upstairs air conditioning did not work for several days but did bring portable air conditioners that worked ok & gave partial refund, great location, lots of rooms but they’re small

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 24, 2024

Thank you for the feedback! Probably once a spring, at one of our 35 homes, we have a really terrible spring break group that despite screening (no college groups, etc) just leaves things in horrible condition. That was the guests before you, and unfortunately, despite our best efforts to have the house back in its best condition for your arrival, we clearly missed some things. No excuse, we thought we had gotten the house back into great shape, but it did not meet your expectations. And then the AC got tempermental. We appreciate your patience with the timing for the replacement part (luckily we had nice cool temps). We always want the opportunity to fix cleaning and maintenance issues for you. And the house now has extra remotes! We appreciate you staying with us and look forward to showing you a great experience for your next stay, at preferred repeat guest rates. Most of our larger homes do have bigger bedrooms spread over a larger area but are just a little further from the things easily walkable from Resting Beach Place.

Lol- This is not your average review! This is a great location but we had major issues during our stay. Due to how they handled our complaints, they will forever have our business because they went above and beyond to make it right. Even though those issues occurred, our family will continue to book with Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals!

Golf Shores Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really appreciated all of the free activities that this reservation came with! The home was clean and tidy when we arrived. We appreciated the ice machine and three refrigerators! We appreciated that maintenance came daily to check the pool and make minor repairs. The company handling our stay was very responsive and quick to replenish supplies that were near empty when we arrived; we have never rented from this service and had already bought more supplies by the time the new ones arrived. Understanding what comes with the reservation (restocked supplies or at least fully stocked supplies) may have been helpful, but we also may not have seen it in the description. A Rumba and/or properly functioning vacuum would be nice for main level up keep during the week; the vacuum that was there did not pick up dirt (there was no brook or mop), might have been accidentally left out because it didn't really work and did not have any hoses.We would have appreciated a large trash can by the pool area and 2 bath towels per guest, as only one washer and one dryer worked. I think the cleaning service should have checked all TV/remotes to make sure they were working and refilled hand soap, etc. prior to our arrival. We had a big day planned on Tuesday and woke up to no hot water and no gas to cook; this of course changed our day and added additional stress & expenses that were not expected (33 people out to eat instead of planned breakfast at the house, rescheduling plans, etc.). All in all it was a great stay and I highly recommend this company and place! Hopefully someone will reach out to discuss the propane issue and compensate us for the inconvenience!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything is great about this house. Very nice and clean. Every bedroom has their own bathroom. Large kitchen, three refrigerators, double ovens, ice maker and plenty of seating. Stocked with pots & pans, plates, cups & glasses and silverware. We really enjoyed the game room with arcade games, pool table and shuffle board. Our favorite was the movie room. We watched movies every night and it was great on the rainy days. So many great things about this house I can’t list them all. Already planning on booking for next year.
