Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Adam H. Mar 31, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Spend your money somewhere else These are the worst people I have ever dealt with. The ad clearly says lazy river. It is the only reason we chose this resort. Confirmation email noted amenities that were open/not open and lazy river was listed as open. It wasn’t. Kids one wish after no travel for a year was a place with lazy river. Asked management about it and they said they told us by email. Checked all emails and nope nothing. They insist they would have sent it and when I asked for a copy was told “well obviously we forgot to send it.” Total time burglar in addition to lying and knowingly misrepresented the rental. No worries. We are reasonable. Can we use the amenities at another property since there are a zillion Phoenix properties or be moved? NO. any sort of credit or refund? NO. Just rude and uncaring. We go to the beach a lot and have never had this happen. Spend 3k with a company that cares about its customers. This was horrible. ##### Adam H. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wes P.

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keri N. Apr 13, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing, would definitely stay again!! My husband and I brought our six children to stay at this condo. It was even better than the pictures! The beach views are stunning and we loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings and after the kids went to bed. The kitchen was stocked well with things to cook. It was immaculately clean. With a range of kid ages from 6-13, it was wonderful to have multiple pools as well as the beach. It was very close to a super Walmart grocery with online ordering and pick up. It was also close to a variety of souvenir shops and a quick drive to Foley with shopping and more restaurants. We would highly recommend this property and cannot wait to return to gorgeous orange beach!! ##### Keri N. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim M. Jun 26, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice stay! Location on 5th floor was perfect. Made it simple to park in garage and walk through building to room. Balcony overlooks the lazy river. Loved having the fourth full bathroom. Condo was nice and we enjoyed our stay. ##### Kim M.
