Beach getaway

Our family enjoyed a wonderful oceanfront getaway. We had a wonderful oceanside view from our balcony. The pool was awesome! The bed was comfy. The only drawback was our neighbors next door smoking weed non stop. I guess they couldn't read the sign on their door thar clearly stated no smoking . I'd definitely stay there again .

Nice Place

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great, easy access to everything. Right on the beach and the pool was great. The place was nice but they had absolutely nothing in regards to spices etc and maybe they can’t. Dishwasher wouldn’t drain and the rugs on the kitchen and living room turned out feet black so may want to change those out ,but other than that it was a perfect get away and reasonably priced.

Great location. Pool was nice. Bed was so so. I would suggest supplying some spices like salt and pepper. There was nothing and I mean nothing but dishes etc. My husband was walking in his bare feet after his shower and they turned black from I assume the carpet by TV and kitchen. Maybe change those out. Other than that it was a nice trip. Thank you

A very good stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our room was ready a little early and we could get in and settled before dinner. The unit was as advertised with clean linen and towels. The kitchen was in good order, provided with the basic appliances. As always, Gulf Shores Rentals were polite and efficient. A problem with this unit that has already reported was still present. It might be a problem for families with small children. The sliding door from the living room to the balcony does lock. My concern was for security. Fortunately I had in my car, a 32-1/2 inch rod that fit nicely in the door track, securing it nicely. Other than that the stay was perfect.

Some things could have been better

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The retrieval of the package was easy, but NOT at the property itself. There is a building 1 and 2 and no map of what floors the rooms are on. A brief instruction would have helped our arrival on what floor our room was on. No one in office or security booth, notes everywhere about needing a parking permit and to call a number if no one is around. I called twice with no answer. I was little worried about my van getting towed, till the second day when i seen a guy walking around the parking lots and he got my 30$ for a pass. After the first night we noticed a really bad water leak that looked like it was coming from a new water heater. After reporting it, a tech was onsite ASAP, but only took the closet door off, pulled carpet back and cut out padding. He said to leave it like that to dry out and the company who installed the water heater will be back to fix it. No one came back and no further communication from company. The one bedroom wasn’t very pleasant with a closet door leaning against the wall and carpet pulled up. The rest of the condo was very nice. It had all the cooking utensils needed for our stay. The washer and dryer ran everyday. I really liked being on the 2nd floor, so we didn’t have to use the elevator everytime. The unit had great views of the gulf and swimming area. I would stay in this unit again in the future, specially now that i know the ropes. The hot water heater experience wasn’t good at all, but feel it was a one off and management will communicate better with quest after reading this review.

Ron D.

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Overall, this place disappointed. We were excited by the location, and for that reason alone I gave it the overall 2 stars as the location was great. Second floor, both stair and elevator access to the beach and pool. The beach was great and the pool was nice, but the unit had issues. First, as soon as we arrived my wife could smell a terrible mold smell as soon as we walked in. The check in process was a bit confusing as we had to run to an office 10 min across town to get the packet for our stay, where it basically had keys and a note saying we were responding for our own parking pass. I will say the posting says pay for a parking pass but it would be nice if they would do that for you, so there are no additional hidden fees (40 for a week parking pass). In addition, the second morning, my wife went to the bathroom and found a huge cockroach lying on its back flailing in the close of the bathroom. The sheets and blankets felt like they really hadn’t been washed. The overall feel of the unit was just kind of gross. But ultimately we tried to spend as much time on the beach or in the pool as possible, and avoid the unit as much as possible. If you are renting with that in mind than you’ll do just fine, just want to be open about our experience as we won’t be going back to this place.

Some issues with this unit

This unit was nice, but the entry door keys were very difficult to use. It’s disappointing considering this was a complaint made by a former guest 4 months prior to our stay. The property manager was helpful in delivering us two keys that worked slightly better. There was also a problem with making/receiving phone calls in the building itself. We had to make calls from the parking lot, pool or even the beach. But nothing would go through even on the balcony. We’ve stayed in Ocean House 2 before and never had issues, so I was surprised to experience that in Ocean House 1. It made it difficult to field a few work issues while we were there. I noticed 2 other people making calls outside their units, so I’m not sure if this was more of a building wide issue or not. The unit was nice besides those issues, but they were significant enough for us that we won’t rent this unit again.

Beach Vacation 2022

This was a very nice condo and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only draw back was we had to use a key instead of a key pad on the door. The traffic is rough sometimes and getting to the place to get the key can be time consuming. Plus making sure you have the key with you coming on and off the beach is a little aggravating. We have stayed at Ocean House before and had the key pad and definitely preferred that method.
