Reviewer Comments:
We were really disappointed with the cleanliness and condition of this condo, especially because it was where my parents stayed during their winters in Orange Beach. Coming back with my mom made this trip especially meaningful, and my siblings hope to bring Mom back next year. It was such a shame the condo was not better cared for.The location is wonderful, but the condo’s condition took away from our stay. From arrival, it was clear it had not been properly cleaned. There was sand/debris on the entry mat and dirty floors. After removing our shoes, our feet were black after walking around briefly.The patio was dirty and sandy and had not been swept. The rugs were dirty, and the rug by the front door was a trip hazard, so we had to roll it up.The kitchen needed cleaning. Dishes had food on them, coffee cups had residue, and silverware was dirty. We ran everything through the dishwasher before using it.The under-counter ice maker had visible pink and black mold in the ice bin, so we could not use it. It needs thorough cleaning and sanitizing for future guests.There was food stuck on the sofa, and the furniture needs deep cleaning or replacement. The chair slipcovers had food/debris in the chairs. The second bathroom toilet seat needs replacement.Around 9:30 p.m. the first night, we discovered the ground-level master bedroom sliding glass door was unlocked and would not lock. Security came and manually pulled the lock into place so it could be secured. We appreciated her help, but it was not repaired, so we could not use the door for the rest of our stay. A secure door is especially important for a ground-level bedroom.A gate leading to the front of the building next to ours was also broken and should be addressed for safety.This condo has great potential. A deep cleaning, attention to the kitchen, floors and patio, cleaning the ice maker, cleaning/replacing rugs and furniture, and needed maintenance would once again make
