Very nice condo right on the beach in Gulf Shores. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped and the condor is nicely furnished. Beautiful view of the Gulf of America from the balcony. The quickly responded to any inquiries I had. I highly recommend this condo.

Reviewer Comments:
Just completed our 7th year in this condo and we find it perfect for us. One flight up and lots of privacy from the balcony. The only problem with this 2nd floor condo is that it's pretty cold, especially the floors when it's chilly outside. Could use some new balcony furniture and the range in the kitchen is definitely on it's last leg.

Needed some maintenance in bathroom with whirlpool tub. Could not make the water come out of faucet-only shower. Stove top was not connected properly. Couch bed would fall because the bar underneath was not stable. Bed frame in front bedroom was too close to dresser which made it hard to walk around without bruising your shin. Other than all that, it was a great place to stay. Awesome view from the front bedroom from bed. Pool was nice.Disappointed the hot tubs are now kiddie pools.

Our stay was decent. We really couldn’t enjoy the balconies because the air never got below 75 degrees despite trying to turn it down so didn’t want to open balcony doors and let our only little bit of cool air out. The far bathroom shower was clogged. The distance to the beach and pool were great! The beds were comfy! The space definitely accommodated our family. Having a bathroom with every room was great! Difficult keeping condo free of sand as vacuum didn’t work right it blew the sand back out as you tried to vacuum.

We had a wonderful time . The codo was very clean and we loved the pool area. Only complaint i had was the garbage disposable was backed up and the front bedroom bath didn’t drain good . Oh and the board over the kitchen cabinet fell off. Call for repairs to be made but nobody showed up . I would definitely rent again .

Condo location is great! Overall, our stay was great and will come back. The condo does need to update a few things. The stove, AC unit and master bath needs updating. It has a tub (garden)/shower combo, but water goes everywhere on the floor. We called maintenance and they never showed up to fix AC.

The condo was nice but the shower head in the front bedroom needs to be replaced and it would’ve been nice to have more outdoor seating options for the balconies. The current furniture is outdated and not very comfortable. Also, I would suggest providing a pitcher so guests can make lemonade or sweet tea. The condo sleeps more like 7 rather than 8. The pull out couch was very small for two people to use. My son said that he found sand in his bed the first night. Overall, we had a great time. The check in/check out was very simple and the location on the beach was great!

Ocean House is one of the smaller condo units in Gulf Shores. We enjoyed our stay there. The pool is a zero entry and one of the biggest pools by the beach. The unit was clean and well stocked with the items we needed to get us started. We did have an issue with some electrical in the front master but it was reported. The unit was on the second floor and had a great view of the ocean. Our family really enjoyed it.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Location was superb, but misrepresented the property on renovation details.
Loved the location, but was told in pre-arrival communications that all renovations were complete in this unit and the building, and when we arrived, we had workers on balcony to gulf view, and balcony was completely closed. I would have selected another property if they had given me accurate information.

Thank you for your review. We apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the construction. In this situation, we offered several solutions, but unfortunately, none were satisfactory to the guest. They suggested relocating another guest from a different unit to accommodate them, which was not a viable option. At Gulf Shores Rentals, we remain committed to continuously improving our properties to ensure a positive experience for all our guests. Thank you.

Told us middle bedroom had a leak at check in and floor was damp. When we got there it was saturated. Leaked the whole time. Repair man came out once, blamed us and was rude, did nothing. We had to move the people out of that bedroom to the living room due to meldew smell. Half eaten chips and dental floss was laying on one bed. Location great though. We just needed it fixed!

Reviewer Comments:
The condo is in a great location and looks nice but needs some work. When we arrived, the disposal backed up into the other side of the sink. The bathtub in the beach front room didn’t drain correctly. The master garden tub was turned into a shower and not done correctly because water would flow out all over the floor. We had to use lots of extra wash clothes and bath towels to try and stop this. It’s clearly been a problem for a while because there is damage to the floor and wall near it. I’m sure there has to be mold in there. The worst part to me was that there is clearly a roach problem! They were everywhere! We killed at least 20 while we were there. I would not recommend this property!
the amount of money to stay here and all the problems we had with the room and service was a sadly mistake & it was stressful and upsetting vacation . I was not able to enjoy my family and the shrimp feast. My daughter in law and I get there Tuesday no ocean view the palm trees were so grown up and dead you couldn't see a thing. 2nd the next day we wake up 2nd bedroom had water leaking on the floor which was carpet. we reported they sent someone over and they left us a dryer for the floor. So I paid a large amount for a 3 bedroom / and my 28 year slept on a sofa and 3 adults shared 1 bathroom. Not to mention the washer and dryer did not work it shook and made such a loud noise the maintenance guy mentioned the unit having a lot of troubles but could not do anything with the busy weekend. Which I tried to understand but it was the only 1 vacation we could work in to be together in 3 years so I'm very upset and the fact that gulf shores rentals never called me back after Wednesday and we left Sunday that is not away to do business. They can offer you hundred off your stay well check out the rates that I paid for those days. They do not work for customer service period.

Our guests are very important to us and when a complaint is made, we do our best to address any issues that our guests may have. Maintenance issues that are reported are addressed as quickly as possible however; mechanical breakdown repairs may require parts that are unavailable on short notice. Our maintenance department was dispatched immediately when this guest reported the wet carpet. No source of leak was discovered and it was thought that water source could have been a shower that was allowed to overflow. The blowers to dry the carpet are a necessity to dry the area and prevent mold issues. Upon the second report of water in the unit it was determined that more intensive investigation would be required which may entail cutting sheetrock. Unfortunately, our properties were all occupied so we had no where to move this guest. The unit is a 3-bedroom 3-bathroom condominium and all 3 bathrooms were available so why the guest chose to only use 1 bathroom is uncertain. This guest was contacted by the manager on duty who explained the situation, apologized for her inconvenience and credited back one nights rent which the guest said that she was happy with at the time. Maintenance issues such as this are beyond a property managers control and typically no monetary compensation is disbursed. We are not certain why the guest overlooked the photos of the view from the balcony in this unit when reserving online, which are very reflective of a view from a 2nd floor condominium and the common area which contains palm trees. We are sorry that this guest wasn’t completely satisfied with the property but feel that we addressed the situation to the best of our ability.

This is a great location and the accomodations were great! Three beds and three baths. The unit could use a little TLC! The stove only has one burner so we opted for barbeque cooking downstairs. Great stay at a smaller resort - not busy!
The condo was in good shape, very clean and well kept. A little dated but nice. Could use better appliances. Walk in shower was a little small. No grab bars and floor was very slippery when wet.
