Wish the storm door would latch closed and the outlet in the spare bedroom didn’t work. These were minor issues that really didn’t interfere with our stay at all. We would recommend and also return ourselves if the opportunity presents itself. We made amazing lasting memories with our grandchildren in the short time we had there!

We had an absolutely wonderful time, well layed out condo, I could have lived in the sunroom, grandkids loved it, very comfy, having 2 full baths was a plus, and being able to prepare meals also great. Being able to walk right out on the beach, was so worth it, would definitely stay there again if available, Thank you so very much for a wonderful week!

When we arrived at the 4 o’clock check-in, the condo was still not cleaned so we had to wait for cleaning crew to clean up. Had to get someone out there because all the electrical outlets did not work on one side of the condo. Then had to get someone else out there because the refrigerator was not cooling and by the time we left after three whole days, our food was still not cold. Just overall was not impressed with this condo.

Upon arrival, our unit had not been cleaned. There was a mixup with the cleaning company or something of that nature. At first, the host gave me the runaround telling me that we had added a day to our stay at the beginning of the week and they didn’t have that down and then they told me that I checked in an hour early implying I didn’t allow enough time to have it cleaned. Both of these were not true. After numerous screenshots of emails, they finally admitted it was their fault. The last thing you want to do when arriving on vacation in the first 45 minutes is stripping beds, vacuuming, and doing dishes. After a little pressure, they tried to make it right. The communication on that could’ve been better as there was still some confusion on what they were doing to make it right. But in the end, we got our cleaning fee returned to us. We really enjoyed this condo. We’ve been to Gulf Shores numerous summers, and this was one of our favorite units. Very large and really great location and view. The only negative was the elevators quit one evening, but they did get fixed rather quickly. The other negative was the master bathroom’s baseboard was missing and floor was rotting in that location. It did not bother us, but I could see how some guests would complain. Overall we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great location, easy parking, elevator was great, pool was very handy and perfect beach access. The condo itself could use some TLC to make it even more enjoyable. The beach does not allow tents over 7x7x4, so our tent was not allowed. Should put that on the info.

Great short stay

This is a great unit (don't understand why anyone would really give a bad review and I always read all before booking). I loved the "sunroom" and being able to open the windows and hearing the waves. Only thing I would change in the description is and I looked and didn't see anything about not being able to rent umbrella/chairs for the beach, because Condo association doesn't allow it and making storage unit more accessible if you are going to allow guests to use your beach supplies. We couldn't get into storage (due to lock being corroded) and ended up buying umbrellas. However, was a very relaxing but fast trip for my family, and if I end up in the area again, would consider booking again. Unit have more than expected! Thanks!!

Lipstick on a pig, disappointing stay

Condo reeked of cigarette smoke the moment we opened the door during check-in, very off-putting for non-smokers. Public network WiFi that was provided during our stay did not work, found clumps of hair stuck along shower wall in master bathroom upon arrival, only 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 trash bag provided for a condo that sleeps 6. For a 3 day stay over $1.5k, we expected a better (and cleaner) experience at this condo. Left a review directly with ABVR over a week ago upon check-out and did not hear anything from management so leaving a review here as well.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 June 2022
Hi, Austi; we sincerely apologize for the smell of cigarette smoke and the mess that was there upon your arrival. The situation will be addressed and sent to our maintenance and staff. As for the toiletries, it is stated in the check-in information that each property will be stocked with a starter kit that includes 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, 1 trash bag liner per trash can, and 1 roll of paper towels in the kitchen. Guests must supply their own for the rest of their stay. We hope you enjoyed your overall stay and give us another chance. We would love to host your next vacation.
