Baby moon

My fiance and I stayed here for our last trip before our baby and it was everything we could have wanted. It was clean, a few steps from the pool & beach. The staff was very nice. The only complaint was loud construction above us that started around 8:30 in the morning on Thursday and Friday and lasted until about 12. Other than that, everything was awesome.

Great location.

I liked the location and the property. I would prefer the property manager inform me when maintenance people are coming while I’m still sleeping to change an air filter. Was very upset about having to let someone in early in the morning.

Roxanna, thank you for choosing our condo at island Winds West for your beach trip and for sharing your thoughts with us. We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the location-it's a great spot, close to everything and the beach and sunset views are amazing! We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the maintenance technician's visit to replace the air filters. We take pride in maintaining our rentals properly, and occasionally, these routine checks overlap with our guests' stays. We'll be sure to give you a heads-up next time! Your feedback is immensely valuable, and we'll strive to inform our guests beforehand about any scheduled maintenance visits to ensure a seamless and uninterrupted stay. We genuinely appreciate your understanding, and we hope you'll come back to see us again. We would love to be your host for your next Gulf Coast getaway!

Expensive

Too expensive for amount of space. Great location but room was by elevator therefore it was very noisy.

Dale, thank you for reviewing your stay. Though the condo’s front door is located within proximity to the elevator, the weekend of your stay was during Gulf Shores’ 49th Annual Shrimp Festival. The festival was located directly below this condo, a heightened level of noise at this property during this weekend is to be expected. We apologize if you were unaware this was going on during your stay. Be sure to call us next time so we can make sure you are in the perfect spot to enjoy all of your vacation. We are glad you enjoyed the location and thank you for choosing Beach Getaways.

Really noisy

Every shower the upstairs unit takes sounds like a waterfall in the bedroom. If you’re a light sleeper, it’s miserable. The fitness center is next door. Doors, garbage trucks, elevators: you hear it all!

Thank you for taking time to leave feedback, Sandra. We're sorry to hear it wasn't a restful stay for you-we're happy to recommend a location a little farther away from the "operational" parts of the condo building. We invite you back for a more relaxed and restful getaway.

Very - Very small condo for the price.

The property is close to everything you could want. There was sand in the bed when we arrived which concerned me whether the sheets were fresh or not. The condo overall was clean but extremely small for the price. There is no place in the unit to put your luggage or beach equipment. It was our 35th wedding anniversary. We did enjoy our stay.

Rick, thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and the location of this condo! We apologize for the sand in one of the beds. Our HK staff is available to come back by the condo and assist with any HK issues that might have been missed. However, you did not contact us until after you checked out. Next time, please use the hotline provided to guests in the arrival information to report any concerns or requests to maintenance/housekeeping! In regard to space to put luggage or beach equipment, there are closets in each bedroom that are available to store things in. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for choosing Beach Getaways!

Gulf shores

Checked in, the bathroom had sand all in it, the bath tub was dirty and had used towels in the floor and dirty wash towels in the tub. Called the number listed and took over 16h to get new towels. Overall location was nice being right on the beach. But it’s also located directly next to the gym- so be prepared to be woken up by those that use the fitness center in the early morning.

Skyler, thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We are sorry to hear that you were met with some housekeeping concerns upon arrival as this is certainly not in-line with our housekeeping standards at Beach Getaways. Our Property Care Team has been alerted of the overall cleanliness of the restrooms to make sure these issues are addressed and resolved. We apologize for the delay with the towels as our inspectors were handling some time sensitive jobs, although we did follow up to let you know they would be delivered the following morning instead. We are sorry to hear of the noise coming from the gym. This unit is right next door to the fitness center, although we have alerted our Quality Assurance team to see if we can do anything to help reduce this issue. Thank you for your feedback as it is reviews like this that ensure all of our team is preparing the unit as best as we can. We would love another opportunity to impress you so please let us know when you would like to come back, and we can offer a discount on your future stay! Thank you!

Unit 175

This condo and property are very nice. Great beach access, felt totally safe walking to our cars at night. Had a security guard on duty at night which was a plus. We had no noise issues but we also brought our own fan. Only complaint we have it’s after the first night then bed is very uncomfortable. It could use a topper and the headboard secured. Overall this unit and property is perfect for a momcation or super small family. You don’t have much room to walk around in the bedroom.

Lyndsey, thank you for sharing your feedback! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your vacation at our condo! We have shared your comments with the Property Care Team and the Maintenance Team to assure the bed is in the best possible condition for future guests. Mattresses are a matter of personal preference and one-size does not fit all. Please call us next time so we can ensure the perfect getaway for your family! We hope to host you again next year and thank you for choosing Beach Getaways!

Before school

It was nice but old . The shower was leaking and loose. The sink knobs where moving it was older look in the kitchen with the cabinets. You could tell it was just made to make it . Not professional done. The walls was not very thick because we could here noise all night.
