Nice Place-Needs some improvements

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: Over all, the location is nice. Unfortunately it needs some work and renovation. When we pulled up the first thing that stood out was piles of scrap lumber leaned over the picnic table underneath the house, one was spray painted with orange paint. Just didn’t look inviting. The grill was knocked over and soffit was hanging from the eves. On entering the house, first impression was good, but noticed the couch and chairs were stained pretty badly. Just could use a little freshening up! Over all though we did have a great stay.

Do not stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I ignored the reviews... big mistake! Roaches,no wifi, shower leaks allover floor, soft spots in flooring, open sewage drain in laundry room, very few dishes an very few things to cook with , says priced lower to accommodate construction but you won't see anything being done finished or even started. The door doesn't shut properly sometimes making it hard to lock. Stairs in need of repair.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The air was not working when we first arrived but we immediately let management know and they sent someone out ASAP to fix it. It was walking distance to stores and to the beach. Quiet neighborhood and friendly neighbors. Over all great experience. Only down fall was that they had a counter size dishwasher which was not to fun,

The house here was not what we seen when we arrived.

We did not stay at this property because it wasn't fit to stay in. However the group that owns this property made it right. They put us in a much much nicer place. So after that it was a great trip.

Spring Break

I came on a spring break getaway with my granddaughter and her other grandma. The location was wonderful. We went to the beach, shopped, and ate out in several places. Overall, we had a great time. The house itself was not a real positive. There was a large gap under the door that could let in lots of undesirables. There were mouse droppings in the cabinets and bugs in the kitchen. The toaster was rusty, and we didn't feel safe using it. Needless to say, we bought plastic and paper or ate our meals out. I hope to come back to Gulf Shores, but wouldn't stay in the same place.

Lovely single family dwelling

The ac was extremely cold, much to my liking. The oven, stove, fridge, and plumbing all worked well. The washer, dryer, bbq pit, oak trees, and shaded area under the house were all bonuses. Plenty off street parking and we weren’t close to other houses, and we were a five minute walk from the beach. The downstairs outside shower was a huge convenience. It is on the small side but it worked well for my parents, my wife and I and our 17 and 9 year old daughters.

first visit to Alabama coast

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Good location, corner lot with no houses crowded up to this property so felt private, which is nice. House is comfortable and air conditioning works great; since we were there in July this was important. House is very sparsely provisioned though. No place to hang up wet bathing suits/towels. No shower head on outdoor shower. Only one lamp in living room. Water very rough on Gulf side/NOT good for small children/seniors. But lagoon side very calm with sandy bottom and little quiet beach.

The place ia dated and relies on lamps to light bed rooms. The oven went out during our stay and the repair man came and looked at it, but didnt fix it.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Most electrical sockets don't work. AC was great. Toilet gave out on Friday, still out next day. Filthy cups, dirty microwave, dirty stovetop. No smoking allowed, but cleaning crew flicked long cigarette ash in sink. House itself was spotless. Needs major redo for $400.00 a night.

Homey, clean and comfortable with a short walk to the beach

The house isn't fancy but clean and comfortable beds and nice shower. It has a feeling of home. We appreciated the tips in what to take to make the stay an enjoyable one. There was a problem with having to reset a breaker for the a/c but we would consider staying again sometime.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time! The hurricane displaced us from fort Morgan this trip so this house wasn't our first choice. The location was great. The house its self needs some TLC, there were no lights in any of the rooms,half the outlets didnt work,there was no broom to sweep up the sand during the week,and there were bugs everywhere in the kitchen (probably due to the storm). We are grateful for still being able to come and stay. Thank you ☺
