Great place!..just a few things of note

Loved the condo, beauty and so clean, will request exact unit in the future. Couple of heads-up items: the local management tel # is non-working but the Vacasa 800 was staffed with helpful agent. The king bed box springs needs replacing, it squeaks (LOUDLY) on any movement, even if just rolling over. Lastly to be clear, parking passes will be delivered and placed on counter for this unit (loved it) but the directions in the Welcome Packet for attaining parking pass is confusing…we had to call 800 for clarification.

Amazing!

My first time to Gulf Shores and would, without question, come and stay here again! The unit was beautifully decorated, was fully stocked with anything you would need for your stay (kitchen appliances, cookware & utencils, hair dryer, bath towels, extra blankets, pillows, etc.!), the seating on the balcony and the views made for perfect evening cocktails, a beautifully maintained complex that I saw many owners, who clearly take pride in owning at this location, taking care of. I cannot say enough about my stay - it was perfect in every way!

Plenty of room for everyone!!

The property was clean. The view was amazing!! We loved the oversized pantry to keep all of our snacks. The beds are comfy and having 2 full/queen beds in the spare room was nice for the kids. The water pressure in the bathrooms is also impressive. Having 2 complimentary chairs and umbrella was such a blessing in this August heat! Parking was easy and the pool was always clean.The only thing I suggest is turning the ice maker off at night while you sleep.

Nice Place

We just stayed overnight, but the condo is very cozy and was the cleanest condo I’ve stayed in. However the owners could spend a few more dollars on a few things to make the stay a little more appealing. The bi-fold doors in the kitchen closet is held together by nails at the bottom which is a bit of an eyesore. Used bi-fold doors can be purchased on fb marketplace place for as little as $20 or new for around $90 and it’s a simple DIY. There is a short in the ceiling fan in the master bedroom. There isn’t enough voltage to light the higher end light bulbs that were installed. I changed them out with bulbs that were in the pantry and there was just enough voltage to barely illuminate them. I’ve installed many ceiling fans and this one has a short in it. I wasn’t able to get the TV work in the master bedroom. I followed the directions on the print out. I had no problems with the TV in the living room. But overall it’s a great place that I would recommend and stay again. Great location.

Cleanliness Issues

Location was great! The inside is updated however it was not clean. I want to preface the following statements; we stay all over the country and do not expect perfection. This was the most unclean place we have ever stayed. The floors were disgusting and appeared to not have been mopped in some time. The condo had an unclean odor to it, to the extent we went and bought candles to offset the smell. "Clean" dishes in the cabinets were not clean at all, we had to wash everything by hand before use. I sent pictures to the property management firm and never received a response. I would not recommend this condo.

Nice condo but terrible property management communication

Our condo itself was good. No issues within the condo other than the last day having water leak issues but the storms were to blame. My biggest complaint was the chairs and umbrella that was “included” with the condo. When I was deciding between 2 I chose this one based on paid chairs. They did not have chairs and umbrella paid for and the company at the beach stated it had not been renewed for the year. We couldn’t get Vacasa to respond for 4 days . Kept getting the run around and ultimately they refunded me $90 of the $160 I had to pay for 2 chairs for 5 days. IN the condo they have a sign also stating free chairs. If I was an owner I would hope my management company would let me know and correct the issue accordingly. Instead I spent hours getting no where and by day 5 got $90 towards the chairs. I call about a water leak and they responded within minutes. So with that said I book A lOT through VRBO, Vacasa, hotels etc. I have never left a negative review or complained. I just want others to be aware that if you care or decide based on “free chairs/umbrella” it’s a marketing tool that doesn’t follow through.

Best trip with Rhi

This condo was perfect. Had the best most relaxing vacay in a long time. Felt like being home without all the stress. Close to everything and met some really nice people. Will definitely stay here on our next beach trip. Everything was as stated on the listing, only thing I missed was the fact there wasn't a blow dryer on the premises. But was an easy fix with a trip to Walmart. Highly recommend!!!

Great condo, terrible service from Vacasa

The condo itself was great. Nice view, great pool, easy beach access. Our experience with Vacasa was awful. Our bed wasn’t made, we weren’t left basic necessities like dishwasher tabs or trash bags. We contacted Vacasa twice with no resolution, ended up having to go out and buy dishwasher tabs and used grocery bags for garbage. Again, the condo was great. Our experience with Vacasa was terrible.

Great Location, Loud condo

We really loved the location of the condo. This was our first time going to Gulf Shores. Easy access to the beach. Easy access to restaurants. Condo was well equipped and looked pretty new and updated. Our only complaints - cleanliness of the tub (which was slow draining and reported). We also found cereal underneath the furniture in the living room. Our biggest complaint was how loud the condo was. I know they can't control the other renters in the other units - but dealing with yelling in the stairwell and loud banging and noise late at night (midnight) was not good for us. Our neighbors upstairs seemed to be the biggest offenders of this. Yelling and banging from their balcony. So glad our stay was short because I couldn't have handled a week of that.
