We appreciate your feedback Johnny. We never like to hear that a guest is less that satisfied with their stay. We do our very best to keep our listings updated and the listing pictures are accurate reflecting that the condo is more dated than some. It is priced accordingly as an affordable beachfront option. The remotes have been replaced. The fans are secure to the ceiling. We hope that you enjoyed the amazing views and and the great sunroom! Thanks for staying with us! Coastal View Vacations

The only thing good about this condo is the view and a clean pool.There is carpet in the kids room that is moldy and makes the whole place smell musty There was mold on the dining room chairs and the outdoor seating as well. Our power was cut off during our stay which put a damper on our day. We love gulf shores and will return. We just won't come back to Gulf Tower

We wish you would have said something during your stay about any cleanliness issues as we would have sent the cleaning company back out immediately to address those.

The Condo was great! The kitchen was equipped better than any condo I’ve rented and I have rented many. The service was way above average. There was a problem with the air and when I text the host, they answered in a few minutes. They conversed with me until a service man could come to fix the problem. The issue was fixed in minutes. The next day someone was there to give an estimate on a new air unit. We were so pleased since we haven’t had that communication in other rentals. Thanks to all

It won’t ruin your vacation but improvements are needed

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The good: Location, clean pool, beach access, sufficient parking, sunroomThe rest: It was not thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. All you had to do was look in corners of the floor, behind trashcan, under the bed, and you can find trash and dirt in all of those place. The mold and mildew smell is bad. They hang air fresheners from all of the air registers, but this is not the solution. They need to actually fix the air conditioning drainage pipe so that way it doesn’t leak and doesn’t come apart requiring the tenant to fix it and the property manager to say oh that happened again. There are conflicting memos as far as what is required for cleaning. One memo says that all of the dishes have to be cleaned and put away and another says that you can put them in the dishwasher and start the dishwasher. Supply enough toilet paper based on the length of the stay by the guest... do you expect a guest to fly home with the extra toilet paper that they bought... no, this is just going cheap in a really dumb way, and leads to a negative experience.
Response from VrboOwner on 10 Jul 2026
We appreciate your feedback, Mark. We never liked to hear that a guest is less than satisfied with their stay. We will certainly pass along your feedback about the cleanliness concerns to the cleaning company. The air-conditioning was just replaced in the unit! We believe our departure instructions are fairly clear, asking guests to do the dishes and take out the trash. So that guests can be prepared, we do provide information in our pre-arrival instructions that a starter set of paper products are supplied. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the wonderful location, those amazing views and amenities. Thanks for staying with us! Coastal View Vacations

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: This is a no frills place. It’s clean, close to everything my family liked to do, and has everything you need minus a hairdryer, but I always bring mine with me. The balcony was great to sit and watch dolphins swim by every morning or the kids in the pool. The downside is the parking lot is small if you have a big vehicle.
