We have stayed here twice and it has always been great. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. It does need a few updates, but nothing to serious.
Great location! We walked to many restaurants and the beach is just a few minutes walk away. We sat by the pool every day, very nice.Bathrooms updated very nicely. The outside area needs some TLC. We would stay again!

We enjoyed the property. It was a great size for our family of 7. We enjoyed having the pool in the backyard. The beach was a short walk/drive away. Easy access to all the things Gulf Shores has to offer. It was an easy drive to Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels.
The property was as advertised. Love the location.
No needed to go anywhere with pool & beach

Nice location. Had some problems with initial access. We were given the wrong door code but management company were easy to reach and responded quickly. Property is worn and in need of renovation. We stayed in July and the pool is very warm because it’s so small.

Nice Stay
We enjoyed our stay! I was concerned after reading some of the reviews but happy to find that they updated the sofa and added some chairs at the pool! Lounge chairs would have made for 5 stars! Loved having a crockpot on hand because we like to cook our own food when possible! Short walk to the beach and the pool was perfect on the cooler windy days!

We had the time of our life. The Beach Ball staff was awesome.
Loved staying here with a large group. Excellent location, pool was great to cool off in! We will definitely be back.
Yes the couch needs to be replaced and didn’t use couch bed because looked in very poor condition, but we still had plenty of room to sleep 11 even without using it. This was our first time for Gulf Shores and we cannot wait to return!

The house is great. Located in a great spot and walking distance to beach. The kids loved the pool. House was everything we needed to enjoy a stress free vacation. Could use some updates and new couch but it worked. Thanks for having us! We’d definitely stay again

The proximity to the beach was great, it was just a short walk. Upon entering, it was the cleanliness that was an issue. The floors were not cleaned, black chunks of something was evident. Hair was on the sheets as well as what looked to be cigarette ash on a bedspread. The pool was not cleaned, sand and rocks on steps and bottom. After I called and complained, Roger arrived 2 hours later. He was polite and mopped the floors and changed all the sheets. Our first day there was basically wasted because of this. The pool service arrived 2 days later. This place needs the landscaping trimmed in the backyard area. Palm tree branches were in front of the screen door and need to be cleared. I do have pictures if management would like to see the floor and sheet issue.

Home was comfortable. Pool was nice. Would have been better if it were heated. The property grounds need attention. Lattice needs to be replaced to secure pool area. Did have a few problems that were all resolved quickly. Would stay at Beachball properties again.
The location was perfect for us. We enjoyed many of the local restaurants. I am a runner and enjoyed the location for morning runs. Nice easy walk to the beach. Nice pool in the back for evening swims. I will mention, the pictures make the backyard looked fenced in. It is for the most part but not completely due to the carport panels and doors being removed. Thanks for letting us stay!

The only thing I think I would change would be the mattresses in the bunk bed room were very uncomfortable and they dryer took forever to dry anything. Other than that it was perfect! Great distance to the beach, was able to walk no problem and the pool was very nice!

House was OK
The walk to the beach was very short. Living room and master bath were very spacious. Bathrooms were well updated.
I wish the house had been better supplied with eating utensils and plastic tumblers for the children.

Very short walk to the beach and distance to area attractions was great!!! The bathrooms have been updated but the rest of the house needs to be updated and Bunk beds need new mattresses!! The pictures on the listing show more amenities than were available during our stay. Management was easy to get ahold of concerning a minor issue and resolution was fast.

Property was clean & neat. Kitchen pots, pans, plates, cups were well stocked. Beach toys, chairs, etc were there for use! Easy walk to the beach. Larger beds were very comfy! TVs we’re large! Only small complaint would be mattresses on bunk beds were not comfortable. You could feel the springs through them. Everything else was great!

Overall home was accurate to listing. Home had all you should need, just needs some cleaning on outside & an additional exit from house for safety. Pool was very nice but too many using it to wash off sand instead of hose pipe, so you then constantly feel it swimming even after PM had someone come clean it.

We had a great week at this property! The owners were so helpful if we had a question and the neighbor who lives next door was very friendly. She took our garbage out the day we forgot and dealt with us being loud all week. It’s very close to the beach which was nice and it was very clean. Two things I would change is having more light at the pool. We could only find the one red light so it was hard to see at night and there was no pantry for food. We had to empty out one of the cupboards that had cups in it for our food and snacks. Other than that, it was great.

We love this neighborhood. It is so close to the beach and everything else that is going on and yet quiet and a nice get-a-way. The couch needs to be replaced, it is like sitting on a rock on the ground but the other chairs were fine. The path to the pool needs some attention. When you are walking to and from the pool, shoes are a must as there is no path and there is glass and other dangerous things on the ground. There is no information in the condo about check out requirements and we had nowhere to put trash. We message the manager and they never answered us with what to do with it and we ended up leaving it by the laundry door. We would come back again!
