The units were exactly as presented in the photos. The Alabama getaway staff were very responsive. The location is simply beautiful. I would have no calms about coming back to the same units.
Enjoyed the condo. Was ideal for our anniversary celebration. We had a few problems with satellite and WiFi but management worked quickly to correct the problems. Would definitely book again for a family get together.
Property was amazing and great for a vanload of kids. Only issues was figuring out how to get to the pool. Owners were great with helping us figure out that process. And we loved the view!!!
2311 Oasis was fabulous! More than enough room for my entire family. We visit Orange Beach yearly and I will try my best to get the same condo next year. Thank you for a great family trip!
Great property. Great bedroom for the kids . Could have used more outdoor furniture placed to sit. Needed cabinet in laundry room.Had to buy salad bowl and larger cutting board. Staff very responsive. Little confusion on what we were to do with the flooding below us. Great time. Thank u
We loved the property and received a discounted rate because of construction.
We hope to return next year and won’t mind paying regular price when the construction is complete. The beach was wonderful the condo as well. Excellent security.
This condo is absolutely beautiful. Easy check in and check out process. My only complaint is there was never enough hot water for everyone to shower and the dryer took several rounds to dry or towels.
This was a great condo for our group of 12. Plenty of space and the bedroom layout was great.
There was only a few small problems like outlets that didnt work, and the icemaker didnt work.

Thank you for your feedback. The ice maker as since been repaired, we apologize for that inconvenience. As with most condos in our area, some of the outlets are tied in to the lights witches so that lamps can be turned on and off with a switch. We have checked all outlets and all are working as they should. Please let us know if we can be of assistance on any future dates.
Thanks,

Nice View of Gulf
Did not know property was in a high rise. Pictures of property posted on VRBO website misleading.
The condo was all we could want. One small issue was we had unexpected guests... Cockroaches. We also were not told that the dining room lights were not working. We handled the unexpected guests.

No ice machine that worked
They say they double check everything before we check in. The patio door handle was loose finally came off, No icemaker that worked. They thought the refrigerator had an icemaker and the repair guy said it didn’t. It would be nice if you have a 13 person condo and only two cars and they haven’t un rented property. They let you buy one the parking spot from it.

Loved the layout
We stayed here with our two adult children, their spouses and 3 grandchildren 4 and under. The condo is furnished very nicely. We took advantage of both the pool and beach. There is an access code to get to the pool from the beach that we weren’t provided but found out from other renters. We were able to work out parking for all three vehicles which was greatly appreciated. We were also able to coordinate an early check in. Every thing was provided as advertised. The only negative was the $3000 requested security deposit which was much higher than any other VRBO rental we have had. We opted to purchase insurance which we typically do not do. Overall a great experience and we would stay here again.

We are very sorry about the pool code, they had just added that coming back from the beach. This property does require the property damage protection where a non-refundable $79 covers up to $3,000 worth of damage, but you could opt to pay the $3,000 up front which is fully refundable. Thank you for your stay.

The condo was great but we were not aware beforehand that we could only have two parking passes-had to purchase the second one but had three cars. Security would not work with us as it was 8:00 in the evening and even though the garage was not full threatened to tow our car.we had to find an overflow parking lot to move the third car the next day. TBecause of the parking situation and the way security treated us, we will not stay at the Colonades again.
This condo is great! It is stocked with everything you could possibly wantS. There is really no need to bring anything except your beach towel. The kitchen was AMAZING. Plenty of dishes, bowls, ect., mixer, blender, can opener. Condo is very spacious! We LOVED, LOVED, the balcony. We could all sit out there at the same time with ample room! There were 7 of us. The pool and hot tub were okay. They were clean and nice just nothing extra fancy. The MasterBathroom, wholey cow! The shower and tub! Condo even had beach chairs and extra blankets. The negatives the shower door was broke while we were there , and the refrigerator leaked. They responded as soon as I told them and was willing to come right away if we wanted. We were fine with waiting until wile left was nothing major:). I would highly recommend this place.

Extremely dissatisfied
On arrival right off we reported several broken appliances and furniture. Pictures and description of condo deceiving. No pool and hot available during our 2 week stay. Damage done to our car by construction workers. Cockroaches in our condo . Construction from5:30am until 6 pm every day except Sundays . Repairman at condo 3 days to fix broken dryer. Was promised compensation by condo manager and HOA, received none and neither office
The day before our arrival I was told that there was only parking available for one car. A second parking pass was available for $63 for 4 nights. My son with an infant, who arrived last, was in a third car. They had to park their car 2 miles away. I spoke to property managers and requested another parking pass, for pay, of course. It was denied. Every night we walked around the parking area and there were several parking spots unused. I spoke to the manager again to ask if a special consideration would be allowed since there were spots available and was again denied. Had I known when I reserved the condo, that only one parking spot came with the 4 bedroom condo, I would NOT have rented it. I have never had this problem before for the last 20 years of visiting Gulf Shores. A very frustrating experience!
We loved the windows! The balcony was wonderful! it was the perfect condo for our family trip! Ages 17 to 89 all had a wonderful time. Close to the water, and not far from the state park pier for fishing. Beds were all comfortable. We look forward to staying again.
