The Pros:
This condo in Turquoise Place is basically as seen in photos. It is spacious and in a decent location on Orange Beach. The pools are as pictured and well kept. The beach is fine, white sand and easily accessed and plenty of chairs for rental. The kitchen is well stocked, and the appliances are great. We especially loved the ice maker. It was really nice to have a grill on the balcony. The staff were courteous and pleasant.
The cons:
Coming off the elevator the hallway was disgusting. Food wrappers, trash, lint balls greasy hand prints and filthy carpet greeted us. I emailed Charlotte about it repeatedly, and while she is prompt to respond and even promised to clean it herself when housekeeping did nothing it remained filthy the entirety of our trip. The living room couch is in awful shape, constantly separates, stained and uncomfortable. The minute it moves on the floor it is apparent housekeeping has never moved it and swept/mopped since it’s been there. Owner seriously needs to consider new furniture. There were food wrappers in two of the bedrooms upon our arrival. Housekeeping is terrible to say the list. The balcony and hot tub on the balcony were also filthy. The master bath jacuzzi does not work. The master bedroom bed is terrible. Serious sunken places from age I guess. The 2 middle guest rooms do not seem to get completely cool...asked a maintenance man about this and he said he’d have it seen about but it never happened either. The bunk room is farthest from the Master , has access to the balcony and is the closest to the entry door. I understand why it is the bunk room bc it has the bath with a tub shower, but the distance from the kids room to the master and it’s proximity to the entry door was something I did not care for. The towels in one of the guest room baths were filthy and in a pile on the floor...not sure if left over from housekeeping but not great. Some food stuff was left in both the fridge and the freezer we had to dispose of. The balcony furniture is a joke, very uncomfortable/old/in disgusting condition, balcony floor was filthy, hot tub works on the balcony but was dirty and small...3 adults at most.
In closing, this condo could be amazing if housekeeping would do a better job, repairs made and new furniture purchase it might be worth what they ask a night. We left wishing we would’ve tried a different unit in the same building.
