The room was very clean and just as the pictures indicated. The kitchen is fully stocked except for seasonings to cook with. ( which is completely understandable) Beachball properties were absolutely amazing. They responded to all emails or text during the booking process and while we were there. They sent an email prior to arriving on what would be supplied. Thank you Beachball properties for making this such an easy process.

Thank you for the 10/10 and the kind words about our team! We're glad the condo was clean and just like the pictures, and thanks for the note about seasonings; we've passed it along. We hope to welcome you back to the beach soon.

My family and I have stayed at this condo many times and have always enjoyed it. It is very convenient to all of things we enjoy and all the good food! My only complaint is we feel like the bed pillows could use refreshing! Thanks for a great place!

Beautifully furnished, wonderful views, conveniently located, quiet

Could not have asked for a better place and location. The furniture was beautiful and comfortable inside and on the balcony. Everything was really great. One very small thing was there aren't a whole lot of pots and pans but plenty to make due. Would absolutely stay here again! Elevators were fast, access to the pool and beach were convenient and easy. So beautiful 😍

Fantastic

We booked this condo on short notice, wanted to get something booked quickly, pics and location looked good so we pulled the trigger on a whim. Our jaws dropped when we walked through the door, so much more than we were expecting. Location is perfect, parking was great, which is good because you could go days without driving anywhere, tons of great stuff to do in a very short walk. Beach access is steps away after getting off the elevator, with a very nice pool along the way. Great condo!

Great stay. Only complaint was the we couldn’t get the TV in Master bedroom to work and the refrigerator didn’t get very cold. We called about the TV but they never came to check it out. Other than that, it was a great trip and beautiful views from the condo.

Gulf Shores trip

Everything was great. I would say that the condo door wouldn’t lock when we would leave for the beach or to eat dinner. I called and they sent maintenance up but he didn’t seem to know how to fix it. So we would have to pull and lift up on the door just to get it to lock. But other than that the stay was fine.

Great location and condo. I didn't give it 5 stars because the confortar and shams of master bedroom were dirty . The manager did swap them out for clean ones the next morning , but first night I was uncomfortable and slept with no cover .

The condo was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. A few negatives is that the condo could have been cleaner. There was a half full Gatorade bottle under a chair, a few pieces of noticeable debris on the floor and toothpaste on the bathroom floor. While there were plenty of extra pillows, we could not find any extra pillowcases and the Master had one pillow with no case on it. It was nice to have the beach chairs and umbrella. Overall, a very nice condo.

Great condo, but missing some things

This was a beautiful condo with an even more beautiful view. Comfortable beds and furniture. We were a little surprised that there was only one roll of toilet paper provided per bathroom when we were staying for 4 nights with 7 people, and one trash bag per can that was so thin you couldn’t put much in it. Also the towels were very small like child sized. Other than that, it was a great property. Instacart does deliver so that made it easy to get the things we needed.

The unit was dated. One of the bedroom ceiling fans did not work. It was not as clean as it could have been. There were dirty dishes in the cabinet. The furniture was old and dated. Bathrooms needed deep cleaning, and or touch up fixes. Great location and excellent ocean view, but the interior needs some attention.

October Review

Overall great experience as I’ve stayed in this same unit several times. Wanted to report several instances that I think were unusual. The first was on Monday, someone tried to enter the unit, they would’ve if I hadn’t had the inside lock engaged. I asked through the door if I could help them and she sounded confused and told me she thought the unit was empty… 2nd occurrence was on Wednesday or Thursday, another knock at the door and a man hollered out PEST CONTROL. I told him we weren’t dressed for that and he would need to come back another time….Also, there appeared to be water bottles under one of the twin beds, I could not get down on my knees to retrieve. They were there upon our arrival….

PH3 Sept 18

I thought the condo was neat, clean and usable. I would rent it again. Good amount of silverware, plates and other kitchenware. Things that need attention. LED light bulb near front door needs replaced. Towels should be laid out for presentation. I had to search to find them. Exhaust fan in master bath needs replaced. Personally, I don't know why you would not have a flat top stove. Burners are not flat and make some cooking difficult. Almost forgot, the Ice maker is very slow. We bought bag Ice just for everyday usage. One lamp in master bedroom has a broken switch. Please send check out instructions with Check in instructions. I don't check email on vacation. I thought the price for value was excellent. I know these are a lot of little things, Mostly small maintenance related things I thought all the furniture, floors and the balcony was awesome. I hope this review helps you.

Not Clean

We were very excited about renting this condo. It looked updated, bright and clean. However, it was quite dirty and smelled of mildew. Furniture was dirty with stains, floors were filthy, visibly dirty and finger prints on doors/high touch areas. It was obvious the cleaning company did basic and light cleaning. I reached out to the management company-Beach Ball Properties-they did have the floors re-cleaned but nothing else. I called 3 times and sent 4 emails with pictures with little response. I bought a mop and cleaner and cleaned myself. It was that dirty. As well, the condo is not organized. Broken items are thrown in closets, drapery is hanging off the hooks, it has not been painted in quite a while, mold in the shower, lots of random dishes, cups and ripper ware thrown in cupboards. Be prepared to bring shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, trash bags—management company provides ONE of all these things. Not nearly enough for a weeks stay and will not replenish. Even though I pay the same daily rate if I stay 2 wks vs 3 days-they do not provide enough basic amenities. Would not recommend.
