Went on Ratings and Expected More

My husband and I planned a little getaway for the weekend and I usually go with properties that have high ratings in the area we like to stay. Our favorite part of our stay was it was a very short walk to be on the beach and the gray furniture on the patio was comfy. Some of the things that we were not happy with was the cleanliness of the property. The shower curtain was full of black mold on the inside and at the bottom. The toilet even had black mold inside along the water line. The light right outside the bedroom window was very annoying to sleep. The pillows were so flat and very little blankets. The temp would not go any lower than 70 degrees. The television in the living room was about the size of a computer monitor! Ridiculous! The ottoman in front of the couch was so small and low. The dishes were so cheap - it was like they went to dollar store on the clearance rack to find them. We were NOT happy with this stay at all as we expected way more. Guess you get what you pay for. We will NOT be staying at this location again.

Nice clean property with fantastic beach access

If you want a location with convenient beach access, this property is tough to beat. The beach is just a quick jaunt past the pool and just over a small sand dune and there it is, a fine white carpet of sand leading to the Gulf of Mexico. Fantastic. It's also quick access to the room from the parking lot, since it's on the first floor, no worrying about the elevators. Very nice on those rare cold, rainy days (unfortunately we had a couple during our stay). The condo itself is well furnished with a comfortable couch and chairs and the kitchen is plenty big for your meals. Perhaps the only thing I would change is having a bigger TV in the living room. The couch is set back on one wall with a small TV on the opposite wall. Although it served its purpose, a bigger TV would be much better in this space. As for communication with the managers, Jason and Milton were prompt to respond to whatever query I had, so kudos to them. I would stay there again with no hesitation!

Excellent for a weekend getaway

Boyfriend and I stayed in 4111 for a weekend getaway, and this unit was perfect for two people. Right next to one of the pools and literally steps from the beach. Everything was clean! Will definitely consider staying again. My only complaint was the bed, my side kind of sagged, I think either the frame is broken or there’s a busted spring. But really that was the only thing! I still slept fine!

September Vacation

Everything was made so easy for us. The key code to the door and the beach entrance was provided before we came. We were able to park right beside our ground floor condo. We had never had a ground level condo but really liked how easy it made our treks to the beach and pool. The condo was nice and had everything we needed. It was small but perfect for the two of us.

Great stay

My husband and I throughly enjoyed our stay. The location is so ideal. Every restaurant we went to was 4-10 mins down the road. The condo was clean & comfortable. Even though this room is walking steps from the pool, we had no issues with unwanted noise. We look forward to booking here again in the future.

Cleanliness

The location is perfect. The cleanliness was acceptable, but it needs a little more touches - the walls, lamps, fans were covered in dust. The bed and the couch were uncomfortable. When you enter, you need to pay $50 to enter and use the parking space. Appliances and the kitchen were very useful and if they worked a little more on cleaning and replaced the couch and sofa, it would be an excellent place. Additionally, the air conditioning was at a bad place in the bedroom - it's like directly over your face. My daughter has asthma and allergies and it made her flare up.

Loved the location

Went to Orange Beach for a softball tournament so lots of time spent playing/driving. This condo was exactly what we wanted-pool and ocean by just walking outside so we could make the best use of our free/family time. Surrounded by restaurants, arcades, souvenir shops, Walmart not far down the street so it was easy to do all stops, both needed and fun. The view from the condo was even better than we imagined from the pictures. Our first time staying in a rental by owner and loved the experience!

Not as advertised

We were happy with the size of the condo but it needs some help. Pictures were of a beachy looking place and the furniture was not at all what Pictures advertised. There was a broken door handle to access the patio. The bathroom drain is broken and the gnats were awful. The were flying everywhere. Opened the coffee maker and they flew out. The bed is also very worn with no support. No hangers. Sad that it was not what we were seeing in the online pictures.
