Pros: Location is 3 miles past the main hub of Gulf Shores, not as many parties and loud guests.
Nice large kitchen and everything you need to cook. (bring your own spices/cooking spray for pans, soap [dish/dishwasher/hand])we got a sponge and two kitchen towels too. Two sets of silverware, nice.
Pool is unheated, but clean. Hot tub works (but not the bubbles, they just ride up the side.)
Fantastic view of the ocean off the balcony, a table and 4 chairs to sit on, and one lounge chair there as well. Great for sunrise sitting with your coffee. Nice pier on the Little Lagoon side, where you can watch the awesome sunsets.
Apartment size washer and dryer (but the dryer is rusted inside, and pieces come off on your clothes.)
The pool area was cleaned daily, and the grounds were clean. There is beach access across the street and they have an outside shower to wash your feet off when you get back.
Cons: These are the facts about the room. You can hear neighbors above and beside you. All their comings and goings (if you get my drift). You get to hear them flush the toilets regularly, and smell their cigarette smoke while trying to enjoy the balcony.
The place is not updated in any way. Bathroom has plastic sink, toilet seat, which doesn't fit, and the toilet makes a horrible noise when flushing. The sofa bed is OLD and an adult can't sleep on. When I told the management company they said: "sofa beds are not meant for adults". Really? I have several for adult guests, and they are comfortable. The place is very dated, dinged up and not what the photos look like.
The refrigerator is so old, they give you **Refrigerator Tips** which says: a large quantity of warm groceries placed in the empty refrigerator takes approximately 12 hours to adequately cool. Cool your perishable items first.
The plastic blinds and curtain do nothing to stop any light from coming in the bedroom, and the place is lit up very brightly at night. The screen is also broken on the window. It was very disappointing, and the management company just said they will tell the owner. I will never trust or use Brett Robinson for another vacation rental.
