Not the best experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon checking the floor was dirty and coffee grounds were still in the coffee pot. Had a termite infestation Sunday and had to move rooms until Tuesday when they finally got an exterminator in. Vent fan in kitchen did not work. Have stayed at this property for years and had good experiences but this was not a good unit.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 May 2022
We certainly regret the experience with ants, which can be typical after a large weather system such as Tropical Storm Cristobal. We are thankful we had another unit in the same property in which we could accommodate you.

Beautiful view!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, so happy they painted and upgraded this unit. We have stayed at this condo complex 3 times and this unit was the last unit available. We were reluctant because of the decor, but was assured it was improving and it did. The unit was unfortunately not cleaned very well, but I am not one to complain. They have everything you need in a kitchen for your stay. I will say we needed the sofa sleeper and this was not a sofa sleeper. So they need to update the amenities. Over all we were happy as usual with our stay, except we had a stormy week. Location amazing. Bender Reality is amazing!! I just wish the world would get back to normal, it was very hard to eat out and wait times were horrible! We love this place and Gulf Shores!!
Response from VrboOwner on 17 July 2022
The updates to Clearwater 5D are just wonderful, aren't they? When you add the great interior to the Gulf front view and the location of Clearwater, it's a clear winner. We regret that you experienced housekeeping issues on your arrival and would have gladly come straight over to resolve any problems you might have had. We've corrected the description to accurately reflect the bedding and apologize for any inconvenience. We look forward to assisting you in booking your next vacation, hopefully in this same wonderful condo!

Gulf Shores Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed it just like the previous stays we've had at Clearwater. Just a couple of minor things. The toaster would not work unless you held the lever down when making toast. Not a big deal but maybe needs looking at. The ice maker does not work but maybe this is by design in case someone would leave without turning it off. Again not a big deal we just used the cube trays. Also there was no vacuum. We like to vacuum before we leave. My husband was taught that when you borrow or use something that belongs to someone else you always leave or return it in the same or better condition than it was when you received it. Again no big deal. We'll definitely be back. You can bet on it. We love the place!!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I’ve been coming to GS for over 10 years. I found this unit to have the best stocked kitchen of any place I stayed. The location is right on the beach, beds were very comfortable, furnishings were very nice. The balcony is small but sufficient. The only thing I would say needs attention is the dishwasher as it isn’t bolted in place and falls forward on you when you open the door. The stove is usable but outdated.

Great View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The great stuff first. The view was amazing. The beach was great, the pool was clean and nice. The room was just like it was pictured. Kind of over the top. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable. All of the outside furniture was cheap plastic and most of the inside furniture was wicker. If you are a fluffy person this may not be your first choice. The condo feels like some one bought it and decorated it to look like a beach condo but had no intentions of ever being there. I would love to stay in the building again. I would not stay in this condo again.
