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!

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.

Average condo, could be cleaner.

This condo is probably less than average experience for the price. The only amenity is the pool. Elevators were not clean (usually smelled of urine). Condo itself was good. Great view, standard furnishings. Beach access is perfect. Parking lot is not marked for east/west designation yet security guards issue tickets for vehicles parking on the east vs west side and the opposite. I caught security guard taking photos of my vehicle with his cell phone and he told me he was going to have my car towed if I didn't move it to the next spot which was the "east side". It was literally the next spot (no sign). Also, security guard smoked heavily walking through the property around guests in pool area and bbq area.

below average

The condo was moderately clean. The HVAC filter had dust hanging off of it hadn't been changed in a long time. Several light bulbs burned out and just kind of dingy. Beds were super cheap and on wheels and creaked when you rolled over. The condo was nicer than the property. The property was run down and dirty. Most of the chairs at pool were broken and halls and elevators were dirty. Would not recommend or stay there again. Kaiser was hard to reach and work with as well. The only good thing was location. Very disappointing.

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

Love this place!

"My husband and I booked a last-minute getaway, and we couldn't have been more pleased! While we've stayed at this resort before, this was by far the best room we've had. We had an incredible time, and the included beach chairs were such a nice perk. The host was fantastic and made everything seamless. We will absolutely be back!"

Nice Condo

This condo with 2 bedroom was on a corner with a larger balcony and full view of the ocean. The kitchen was well-equipped with pots, pans, utensils and both a coffee maker and Keurig. Furniture is showing wear and beds are moderately comfortable. All drains worked well and the air conditioning was great. The washer/dryer combo worked but the washer might need a checkup - very loud when spinning. No plug in the master bath sink or in the kitchen sink, so we MacGuyver’d our own. Security was always visible but could have cracked down on after hours noise in the hallways a bit more. All in all, a good value for our week in Gulf Shores.

Needs some tlc

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.
