Good condo, cleaning needs improvement
We really enjoyed our time here! The condo was in a great location, and we couldn’t ask for a better spot on the beach. The view from the balcony is great, but be careful with little kids. My kids could fit through the bars of the balcony, which was very dangerous. We saw that the balcony next to ours had a fence to put up in front of the bars, which would’ve been very helpful. Upon arrival I sat my baby in the floor and within minutes her knees, feet, and hands were black with filth from the floor. I messaged Vacasa after receiving a text about my check in experience and all I got in response was “I do apologize”. We ended up buying a mop and cleaning the floors ourselves because they were so dirty. It definitely seemed like the cleaning of this condo was not done properly. Stuff had just been swept under the couch, beds, and other furniture. The vents were coated in dust, and the shower in the guest room had dark stuff on the ceiling around the shower head and back corner of the shower. The furniture definitely has a lot of wear and tear on them. The couch is stained and the recliner doesn’t recline a lot of the time. The door is very difficult to open. The outlets were difficult to use in the guest room. The light switch had to be on in order to use them, which was very weird. The rest of the condo was great. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, and the washer/dryer was great to have. Overall, we had a great time and would likely stay here again if it w

Enjoy Gulf Shores but…
Always enjoy coming to gulf shores but this condo needs a refresh. Arrived and one bed wasn’t made and no sheets on premises. All mattresses need replaced. Had to figure out how to make recliner work because using the button didn’t work.

Location is good. Upkeep of the property is lacking. The bed in the master bedroom needs replaced. The matress is broken down in the middle. The front door is very hard to open. Other than that everything was great.

Location perfect. In the middle of everything. Were on the top floor. Great view from the balcony. Had a small problem with gnats but it is the south and management took care of the problem. Place was really clean otherwise. Will rent again. This was my second time here. I will be back!

Great property but not a great experience getting locked out of our condo. Then, having to wait for about an hour on hold to wait for the property maintenance. Property maintenance people were great and nice but this stay would have been amazing had we not been locked out a few times.

Great location!
We love the location! Walking distance to shops and restaurants and the beach wasn’t as crowded. When we arrived one towel was wet, yuck! And the dryer seemed to not work properly. It was extremely loud!! As to not break it completely, we didn’t get to use the laundry while we were there. Which is a major reason of booking a condo with laundry!! Hopefully the dryer gets looked at quick.

Need more communication
The place was fine except for the filthy conditions we founded in. We cleaned that up and ended up with a nice stay. In addition the anxiety caused by lack of communications beforehand dampened or experienced. We received no communication to help us know how to check in,v know how to check out, and it was 10 minutes before we were to check in, with cold groceries in our Jeep. That we got the passcode to get in. In my mind the management was very poor at almost made the experience not worth it. It probably will cause me not to use VRBO again.

Great location and views could use a little cleaning and maintenance.
I love the convenient location of of this condo. This place could be so much better with a few little fixes. First, they need new cleaners. Baseboards and edges of floor tile are filthy. Found dirty dishes in the cupboard, spilled/splashed food on wall near dinning table and in the master bathroom. Dining table has a wobbly top. No drain plug in the master bathroom sink or tub. Could not take a bath. Something was also recently spilled on the coach - this could easily be spot cleaned. The property grounds are well kept up and the elevator is fairly fast. Did not have to wait very long each time we used it. Patio furniture was the best I've seen at condos.

Fantastic Views, moldy bathrooms
Great view from living room and master bedroom. Living area was great, but the bathrooms both had mold and old/moldy shower curtains. One curtain was broken. The bedding was also not the cleanest, the pillows were quite stained. I would stay again if the bathrooms were taken better care of.
