🥰 Summer 2026 Going Fast! 😎 Pearl, West. Huge, beautiful! Heatable Pool. Elevator. Upgrades!

🥳 Woohoo, Amanda! All the way from England for a big family-and-friends reunion at the Pearl — now THAT'S a trip, and I'm honored you chose us for it! So glad the west side exceeded expectations and that everyone was happy. That's exactly what the Pearl is built for — big crews, big memories. Safe travels home across the pond, and we'd love to have you back! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the Pearl? Or ready to plan the next reunion? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

🤗 Hi Melissa! Glad you had a nice time. Bummed to get a 3 on my normally 5 star home! I have to admit — I'm genuinely surprised by this one. Erica's has 100 reviews and an average right around 4.95. The guest right before your stay had a 5 star experience, the guest who checked in the day you checked out left 5 stars, and honestly, yours is the only 3 the home has ever received. So this really stands out — and with no note left on the review, and no communication from you during the stay, makes it challenging to know how to respond (or to make improvements for guests like you). If you have additional feedback for Erica's, or if I can help with a return trip here or to one of my other homes--and get you that same 5 star experience the other folks have all had, I'd love to hear from you! And regardless, I hope you and yours had a wonderful New Year's at the beach. 🙏

🥰 Wonderful, Sarah! So glad the Diamond was beautiful, clean, and spacious for the whole family — that's exactly what she's built for! And thank you for the kind words about working with us; Susan and I really do try to make it easy and accommodating. Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the Diamond? Or ready to gather the family for a return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

😎 Thanks Frank! Happy to hear you all had a fantastic time in the east side unit of Pearl. 10BR of huge awesomeness with all the fixins--elevator, wet bars, so much more, right?! And love that the neighbors were awesome too! Will mark them down for the kudos! Ty! DM when ready to return to paradise! 😉

🤗 Yay! So glad you had a great time in our home. Reach out when ready to rock the return, or if you have any suggestions for our place, or Bama Beach Houses communications and support. Always looking for things we can tweak and improve, and we rely on guests like you to make that happen! Thanks again 🙏, and lets get that return to paradise locked in! 🏖️

Hi Mike. Glad to hear you had a great time, and my home was nice and clean. That's awesome. And I am glad, as well, that you all were interested in coming back. OTOH, I am a bit torn as to how to respond to the review narrative and the wayward star. So... as folks who have seen my many reviews across my properties know (mostly 5s!), when it doubt... talk aloud and be direct! 😉 In the many years I have owned the home, this is the first mention of signage or streetside lighting. We have a big management co sign, with the name of the property, another PEARL on the building, and big street numbers. We actually can't put up yet another sign by code, but we actually DO have yet another sign across the road since we have a big one for Pearl additional parking (we own the lot across the road). Several items you mention are things it seems like you felt COULD have been an issue hypothetically, e.g. pool sharing, other sharing, and parking, but that you did not experience as an issue for yourselves (since no one was next door during your stay). Not sure that's terribly fair... and in real world experience, we don't usually have a lot of complaints where folks are not playing nice, and can always get involved if we do. Oh, and the aforementioned lot across the street parks quite a few additional vehicles—maybe you didn’t see that. I am sorry you felt there could be more towels. Some folks always want more towels, of course, but you should have had 1.25x max occupants. Max is 26, so that's 33 towels for 20 people (since you had 20). That seems like plenty, but if you had reached out about it, we could have checked inventory and delivery some bonus ones, no problem! And... on the elevator, I've not had someone have this confusion before but... you are actually welcome to load luggage. Everyone does that. What the sign (and our emails, and the video we also share) warn against is getting in and out of the elevator 6 (or more) times without going anywhere. Almost ALL residential elevators have a lock out when people get on and off a lot, and they then won’t go anywhere until they are reset. You can always load up, toss things in, etc, but if you get on and off 6+ times, it may not go anywhere! Really wish you had reached out to folks at any time to confirm that. Again, glad you all had a great time. 🥳 In the future, if you return here, or to any of my homes, or really if you stay with anyone, anywhere… folks are here for you and can clarify any possible confusion, and address any issues you may have, usually johnny-on-the-spot! That’s what hosts are here for! Thanks again!🙏

Hi Scott! I am glad to hear you had a good vacation with the crew. It is always so much fun to be able to stay together. I am glad that we were able to mend the microwave so that you could have a relaxed trip. If you have any recommendations for us please reach out as we are always striving for our guests to be at ease.

Thanks Mike! Happy you and the fam had a great time. You have my direct contact, so fire away if you need anything or have any suggestions! You can always poke me for a return, or the Bama Beach Houses gang too. Thanks again! Rick
