Thanks for your review. We would be interested to understand what was smaller then expected? Everything should be clear on the advertisement along with several pictures. Please let us know what we could do to more clearly advertise our property to avoid any further confusion. Thank You, and safe travels.

This duplex style house was perfect for 2 families but was easy enough for all areas and amenities to be shared. Property was clean. Was a tad outdated but that didn’t stop us from having a great week.

Thanks for your feedback. I always smile when I see these and wonder if you expected Stainless Steel and Granite countertops after seeing the current pictures before making your reservation. Our properties are always exactly as advertised. We are pet friendly so it doesn't make sense to have brand new furnishings every year. I'm glad you at least had a good time. Cheers and Happy Travels!

Great getaway for family

Didn't find the 3rd bedroom until 2 days after staying, but it was on because the rest of the family didn't get there until the 4th day. Plenty of room for us all. Pool was a little smaller but worked out perfectly. Would recommend to anyone wanting a great getaway for family coming from different states. Had a wonderful time. Thank you

Fun Family Vacation

My family enjoyed staying at Sol Mates. It had a perfect layout and plenty of room for all of us. I loved the fact that we could all come together for meals and swimming, and in the evening we could all retreat to our own areas (if we chose to). My son-in-law, sons, and dad really enjoyed fishing off the pier. The walk to the beach was a short one and many of the restaurants were a short drive away. Ken was super helpful and easy to reach by text/phone call. We would love to stay at Sol Mates during our next family vacation!

Labor Day at Gulf Shores

Great location. Well stocked with appliances and dishes, but short of towels and sheets for the number of people in our party, but additional were provided by the 3rd day. The place could use a deep cleaning (didn't meet my spouse's expectation). But was fine for most of us and all left happy.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept, 2023
Thanks for your comments. We had plenty of towels and linens in the house to start with. Please remember we had to guide you to where they were (inside each vanity) It seems that our house keeping staff came back and left more then enough additional towels and linens after you called them. I wouldn't know how to make you any happier about this issue. These houses get deep cleaned every Spring and Fall. Since we do allow check in and check out on the same day, there isn't enough hours in the day to scrub baseboards, etc. between each guest. The key to your comment is that everyone left happy. Safe Travels!

Family beach vacation

The property is nice. Dated but clean. We had our family of 14 visiting for the week. Eight of them were only there for 3 nights. The younger kids enjoyed the small pool and the lagoon. The mattresses need replaced and the sleeper sofa does also. The VRBO ad says sleeps 16 but there is only places for 13 to lie down. We brought twin air mattresses and made do. Plenty of coffee cups! Not enough forks. Washers and dryers were a definite plus for our group. Ice maker does well. Dishwasher works well. All in all we had a wonderful trip as a family!

Thanks for your review. It seems there were a few things you may not have read on the ad properly, but Im glad we cleared them up on the phone when you called. The ad clearly states we allow up to 16 people MAX in our house. Up to 14 people at the same price. You also called me about TVs in the bedrooms. We have never had TVs in any of the bedrooms and the ad describes this. Everyone has their own idea about how a mattress should sleep. We dont have sofa sleepers that you suggest should be replaced. There may be an ongoing misunderstanding about what our ad says and what you thought the house should be. For this, Im sorry but our house is exactly as advertised and shown in pictures. Happy Travels!

Family Time

We had a delightful stay at Sol Mates. Home had everything we needed with plenty of space for the family to spread out. (7 adults/2 dogs). Everyone had their own room. We didn't cook much but there seemed to be adequate utensils/pots/pans etc. The dogs enjoyed the grassy back yard. The pool was refreshing. We had so much fun with Carlos Sanchez (the blue heron that hangs out) watching him dive for fish off of the dock and even hand feeding him with the ones we caught. Close to local attractions/dining venues. Short walk to the sandy beach front on a nicely paved path. Property owner responsive/available for questions. Would definitely stay again.

Great layout for groups

The layout of the three separate living spaces was perfect for our family. The fenced in yard to the lagoon worked perfect for our dog. The only thing I would have liked to know prior to going is that dogs are not allowed on any public beach in AL. I did not know this was a law. We did find a historical beach at Fort Morgan that allowed dogs, so it worked out well for us. But I wish the listing had mentioned this in its description just so we could have been a little more prepared. People from out of state may not realize this is a thing like we didn’t. Overall, the house, location, access to the beach and lagoon were all perfect for our group of 6.

Hot Mess

My review I wrote is actually nearly 650 words as we encountered numerous problems while staying there. I will be happy to provide those to the owner separately. In summary, wouldn't recommend going in late July due to excessive heat. The cleanliness of the home was poor to average. The home did accommodate my entire family, and we used the small pool extensively but found the lagoon smelly and murky. If you bring a dog, be aware of sand burrs are everywhere. Cute decorations inside and only a short walk to beach. Great golf courses nearby. Found magots in the outside trash bins (gross). Pullout bed had black mold on the mattress. One pillowcase had an old blood stain. Kitchen trash cans had previous tenants' gunk on the bottom. Thermostat acted up occasionally. One entry door lock didn't work. Dirty box fan provided in master bedroom as ceiling fan only had one slow speed. I could go on, but cleaning and property mgmt. are lacking here. I'm not sure the owner knows how bad it is but just wanted to share my feedback after vacationing every year and stating in several rental properties. I wish the owner the nest as managing these is not an easy job.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Aug, 2024
Thanks for your review. I always smile when I see these, especially when its the first I've heard of any of your concerns.(30 days after departure) Please know our house keeping company offers a 24 hour Promise for house cleanliness, and their contact info was given to you. They never heard from you. Given the opportunity we could have made your stay happier. On the door lock issue, please know that when the door is already unlocked, entering your code will not make it work again, its already unlocked. On the thermostat issue, I see what happened. When the house is 78 degrees inside and the patio door is wide open, it can not achieve 69 degrees. After a period of time it will shut off so the unit will not burn up. Please try to remember to SHUT THE DOOR so your not over extending the HVAC system. In all, it seems like we did not meet your expectations, and for that I'm sorry. Safe travels!

Perfect Mother-Daughter-dogs long weekend!

My (now adult) daughter and I have been coming to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach a couple of times a year since 2010, and I have no idea how we've missed this hidden gem! We always travel with our dogs, and finding a pet-friendly rental for a long weekend like we just had or our two week vacation every summer is not always easy. Salty Dog not only invites pets, it caters to them! Our dogs loved the yard and after the first trip down the pier, didn't even mind the lapping water under the deck! (be careful with small dogs under ten pounds, there are a few 'escape zones' , but don't let that stop you!) Being outside in the evenings is super quiet and relaxing, and the hot tub is certainly a bonus! Even though the main strip is just around the corner, you feel secluded. From a location perspective, it is the perfect combination of on the water and near the beach, and the view from the kitchen window in the morning can't be beat! The house is coastal and welcoming, and plenty of room for one or more families to spend time together without stepping on each others toes. Everything you need is at your disposal, and if you didn't remember to bring your leashes from home...well you will find three like-new retractable leashes to use, because we forgot them! ha...which we realized four hours into the drive home when stopping at a rest area to walk the dogs. yikes! We will absolutely be returning to the Salty Dog on a regular basis! After 6 years of vacationing, we have found our perfect spot. Enjoy!!
