Beautiful ocean view

Beautiful ocean view! This property was exactly as advertised. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Wonderful communication with very quick responses. Our family loved our stay. Our 5 year old especially liked the bunk bed and the easy access to the swimming pools. We would love to stay again!

Great fall break vacation

We had a wonderful time during our stay here! Everything was as described. When we arrived around 5pm, we did have to wait a bit for the security guard to come give us our parking pass. We also couldn’t get into our room right away because it was still being cleaned up and swept. It wasn’t a very long wait though. Our kids loved it too and we would definitely love to come back.

Great family stay

Place was very nice, especially the location and view from the deck. Nice chairs on the deck for coffee in the morning and adult beverages in the evening. Kids loved the bunk room, and the king size bed was very nice and comfortable for us. Second story was great for the kids to pop down to the pool or beach and it was easy for us to keep an eye on them if needed. Pool was definitely great, and the kids spent hours in it every day (it is heated). Check in was smooth. All three tvs were nice to have, new, big and smart tvs for the whole family (family of five). The host also supplied some beach toys for the kids, as well as beach chairs and a beach umbrella. Could use a little guidance document for things like the remotes, garbage chute, good place for essentials etc. but not a real problem. Thanks for the great stay!

Condo great, property not so much

Overall it was good. Our condo that we stayed in was great. Inside the condo I would recommend more storage options for clothes and other things. In one of the rooms the closet was locked and that left us with no where to put our clothes and suitcase. Being there 7 days it was difficult trying to find outfits and keeping things organized. The major complaint that we had was the smell of the lobby and elevator. It was terrible and stayed that way the entire time. My family and I took the stairs a lot which wasn’t always easy having chairs, tents and sand stuff.

Hi Brittany. I appreciate your feedback. I wanted to follow up and let you know we took some time and moved all of the beach items, including chairs, sand toys, and umbrellas guests had left in the master closet to the balcony. That large closet is now empty for guest clothes. We also placed a luggage rack in the bedroom with the locked closet. Unfortunately this is the only closet we can lock the Housekeeper's supplies in for each cleaning. There is an additional luggage rack in the master bedroom. We inquired on the smell in the lobby and elevator and were told by the Condo Association they are doing everything they can to rectify the issue which they stated was caused by the condominium next door being renovated.

Ocean house

We stayed at ocean house II. Location was fantastic. The beach view and pool area was great. The condo itself we did not use any of the amenities as we chose to eat out at the different restaurants. They did have a iron board, but no iron. No blow dryer, so would recommend if needing these items you bring with. The washer and dryer we did use and it worked fine. Overall I think this room was nice. It really could use a deep clean and some maintenance items addressed. Touch up paint, ceiling fans that have warped (still work perfectly fine) the second bedroom fan worked but the overhead light did not. They did have a basket of beach towels and board games which was a nice touch. We did not use them though. On the balcony they did have a couple beach items but they really have had their share of use. We ended up renting chairs and umbrella from Ike’s. Overall our experience was good and we would still stay here and recommend to future beach goers.

Hi Elizabeth. I am glad you enjoyed your stay in Gulf Shores. We work hard to make sure our guests are happy and have everything they need during their stay. I will address the maintenance issues immediately and would have taken care of them during your stay if we had known about them. We don't get there often so it is hard to know when things are missing/broken unless a guest reports it to us. The living room fan is designed the way it appears. It is an odd design that was installed by the previous owners, but we have chosen not to replace it.

First gulf shores trip

Ideal location. Perk being on the 2nd floor( really the 1st minus parking garage) so never really had to rely on the elevator unless moving in luggage and grocery or out. Simple stairs during the week to go up or down to the pool and beach. Property kept clean with security and didn’t really hear to much commotion after 10pm. Good restaurants a short drive away and gift shops. Like most beach towns, you learn the hard way of convenience vs driving just a bit farther, the mini marts grocery/liquor stores charge 3 times as much vs just another mile up the main way in. Overall it was a good layout, pool area and beach. Bit crowded but this was a prime week with no kids in school and everyone on family vacation. Only downer is something the owners can’t control, the weather. First half was quite the show of Mother Nature. Second half we got our sun from am to pm. We are a beach and pool oriented family, if the suns out where out. I saw plenty of extra things to do around the area if you like to ride bikes, go to arcades and go carts to golf. Water parks and indoor activities. We just prefer the beach and the sun but they have it all down here. Host checked in fluently if you had questions or problems. We didn’t have any problems or complaints but they checked to make sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed it despite some weather. Great place to stay.

Wonderful property! You can't get closer to the beach and the views are amazing! The host was great to work with and immediately responded to a little issue we had upon check in and it was taken care of right away. They made sure to check in with us throughout the week to be sure all was well. Beds were comfortable. There were a few beach chairs, umbrella and sand toys for the kids. Parking was nice and close too. I would definitely recommend this property!
