We really had a good time here! The only complaint I have is that we had to drive to the office to check in for no apparent reason at all. That was inconvenient and unnecessary. Other than that everything was fine

Hi Marian, We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us! We apologize if you feel having to come to our office was an inconvenience. The reason we require all of our guest to check-in in person is due to having to be able to verify in person that the reservation name matches the person arriving. Again we apologize but it is just part of safety for all!

Beds were extremely comfortable and spacious. We stayed at Ocean Reef 109.

Everything was great and very spacious. Only thing it la led was tv in the master bed room. There was tv in living room and other room. But being song the highway a tv being in the master sweet could have helped with better slee drowning out al the car sounds. Otherwise all around best place we have stayed.

Location was perfect: Close to beach, view of street to watch activity, beach supply store across street, a few small places to eat or buy ice cream or liquor. Other restaurants and shops a short walking distance away. Unit clean at a glance but needs a good deep cleaning. Furniture stained. Watch for added fees. Being a first time VRBO user, I did not realize the extra fees attached to some locations.

False Advertisement

It looked as if someone when to a 1980's thrift store and purchased all the furniture. Nothing in the living area nor dining area matched the website photos. It was the worst experience I've had in a condo in Gulf Shores, AL. But, Christie with Poole & Poole Assoc. found us great accommodations the next morning and we moved.

Long weekend

We have rented condos at this particular place in the past and always loved the location in relation to restaurants, etc, but haven’t been in this specific unit before. Lots of room and friendly staff at rental agency office. Could use a little updating regarding living area furniture but nothing to keep us from enjoying our time. Furniture shown in website is not what is actually in this unit.

Loud

The condo is right by the highway. That was loud but manageable. However, the road and pool were very loud with partiers on Saturday night. There were some pieces of food under the stairs in the condo. For such a high cleaning fee, you’d think they’d have caught that. Otherwise, the proximity to the beach was great. The condo was really cute and comfy.

Nice spot

Two full flights of stairs to first floor of condo. No elevator. It said beachside but was on the black top side of the beach. Balcony was extremely small. Over all the condo was pretty nice!! Wish I would have had more details on the stairs and actual beach side.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Sept 2023
Thank you for the review. Yes, this property is beach side/Gulf side, but it is not Gulf front. I am not sure what you mean by "black top side of the beach" but this property does have a paved parking lot. All of these issues, stairs/beach side details are all listed and advertised before you book the property.
