First, I will say that the location of this property is excellent. It's a beautiful area and away from the crowds of Gulf Shores. But there is a general lack of maintenance of this property. I was very disappointed in the lack of attention to basic upkeep and amenities. There were 2 chairs and 3 stools on the balcony. One of the chairs was broken and couldn't be used. We pieced one of the stools back together so it could be used, but they were all in various states of disrepair. One of the chairs at the bar in the kitchen had the whole bottom rail broken and splintered. Most of the doorstops in the house were broken and the sheetrock was busted up and cracked. The coverings over the chairs at the kitchen table were grease-stained and dirty. We had two coffee cups for the whole house, extremely minimal pots and pans, and there are no basics (salt and pepper) that are usually supplied in a VRBO rental. The mattresses on all of the beds were worn out and in poor condition. If I had been staying in a primitive-type cabin somewhere, I might understand, but we were paying over $700 per night and were expecting an above-average rental. It appears that this rental has been used and abused and the property owners are not putting anything back into the property for maintenance. Although we loved the location and the beach, it was not worth the price to stay at a rental with so many issues. This is part of a duplex and our neighboring renters expressed the same problems with their unit. This place needs some work.
