Friends Spring Break

It’s a great location. We had trouble trying to watch TV couldn’t find any instructions anywhere, they would have been helpful. The house needs some TLC especially the deck and some rotted siding. But overall we had a good visit.

Charming seaside cottage with flaws

Hear me out! Read entirely because I am starting with the cons! The salt air has definitely taken its toll on this home. Repairs are needed inside and out. Sugar ants take over the kitchen so keep food locked up tight. However, all of this adds to the charm of this home. It’s like a seaside cottage out of a children’s story book. Every room is colorful, the location is fantastic and it only took 3 minutes to walk to the water. A bonus was being able to include the family dog instead of boarding. If you can overlook some rotted boards, I highly recommend! Our stay was therapeutic in so many ways!

Decent place

Everything was in working order and as advertised (except the blender but that no big deal). The place could use a little love on the floors and a bit of maintenance on the outside but the view is amazing, and the place is unique

Needs major work, but nice location

Overall location was great. No issues finding, no crowds on beach. My main concern is with safety. A variety of things should be repaired including the front hand rail which is completely disconnected from the porch railings and the large holes in the walls of the house on the back porch. We also had an ant issues from day one, which the remediation for that was to drop off a can of ant spray. I realize the house is pet friendly, but it just felt unclean and the couch was covered in dog hair. Overall, house isn’t worth the nightly rate, but the location is.

Birdcage

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: William was a lifesaver at Gulf Shores Rentals! I had booked another property thru VRBO at Dauphin Island, Alabama and we were within an hour of arriving there, I received a call and was told there was an issue with the plumbing and there would be no water for 2 days. In a panic I started searching for house rentals in Gulf Shores that would accommodate 2 dogs along with 3 adults and 1 child and we needed it starting that night and the next 7 nights. I called the Gulf Shores Rental company and spoke with William and told him my situation and he said he did have availability at the house that was called “Birdcage.” He took all my information over the phone and within 30 minutes we were on our way to our new destination. We arrived to find a wonderful place that was right on the beach and had everything we needed to make it a memorable vacation. To William and the Gulf Shores Rentals team, thank you all for everything.

Wonderful location!

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I have never rented a house for our vacation before - we have always stayed in condos. We absolutely loved the privacy of having our own place. The location of the house was absolutely wonderful. It gave us privacy for our living space and more importantly a less crowded beach. We LOVED that part of the house.The house itself definitely needs some updates. I read all of that before our stay so I wasn't surprised. It's such a charming space with a big living area and large bedrooms. It was quite nice to have all of this space to ourselves.I look forward to renting this house again - hopefully with a few much needed updates.Thanks!

Dump

When we drove up I was shocked that paint was peeling on the house. Around back the house has weather damage. Deck gave splinters. Garbage can stunk so bad. It was very dirty. Mold around metal part of shower. Cobwebs and pictures had hanging dust from them. Refridge smelled like fish. Floors need a good cleaning. Like others have stated about the holes. They are vent holes and need to have another board in it. The view and location is wonderful. But I wouldn’t stay their again unless it was fixed. Looks like they never fixed the damage from the hurricanes.

Family Spring Break Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location and privacy was great!! House was very very spacious and layed out well! Beds we're very comfortable! Water pressure was great in showers. Key pick up was very easy to get and check out was great just called to let them know we were leaving. The house needs a lot of TLC, it's run down. The couches were uncomfortable and each couch on one cushion had duct tape over a big hole, also floor between bedrooms had a small piece of wood missing. And steps at entrance as well as half of outside deck needs replacing almost felt unsafe. Plug sockets in king master bedroom only one plug socket worked in each outlet. Maintenance man came in unannounced to replace air conditioner filter, wish they would of called first for safety reasons!

Loved it!!!

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: We absolutely loved our stay at the birdcage. I’m very partial to the smaller house rentals available because we like to actually get away on our trips and not take everyone we know with us, just so we can afford the place, LOL. That being the case, the size of the place was perfect for us (2 adults, 1 child) as well as the location. You’re right on the beach and that stretch of the Blvd is very quiet and not a ton of people or traffic. Makes relaxing very easy. The place is older and as such can be a little rough around the edges, but I really enjoy the uniqueness and personality of the older houses. Based on some of the other reviews and management responses, it seems some items have been updated this year, so everything was in good working order for us. The beds and the furniture were comfortable, and the AC was good and cold. We did have a couple of minor things we had to contact maintenance about, but they were out that day and took care of it. I will say the grill is not in the best of shape, which wasn’t an issue for us, but could be if anyone had plans to grill. Overall though, very satisfied and plan to return.

Amazing location, cute house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The Birdcage is an adorable house with an amazing location. The inside of the house was a bit dated but clean. Could use a good refinish on the floors. The back deck and stairs were in decent shape. The front stairs and some spots of the exterior of the house were in need of repair. Only a few things to complain about. For one where are (what I can only guess at) covered floor vents around the house, and one in particular right on the kitchen that was a little caved in.. Always had to be careful not to step on it. just weird. Also, the oven did not work so I ended up buying a toaster oven (needed one for home anyway). The biggest issue we had was a fishy smell from the refrigerator. We can only assume the previous renters were fishers and kept their catch in the fridge. The GS Rentals were great and came out to reclean the fridge and gave us some baking soda boxes, but the smell persisted for our entire stay. In turn the ice from the ice maker also had this fishy smell so we had to buy ice for drinks as well as coolers.Overall we loved our stay at the Birdcage and WILL BE BACK.
