Beautiful place

This place was everything and more. I had to find something last minute and this was reasonably priced and looked cute. It is directly across from the beach, not a far walk at all. Just a couple minutes from downtown gulf shores. Will definitely add this to my favorites.

Good stay

Location is great. Clean. Vacasa was responsive when I reached out about missing kitchen tools and they got us what we needed the next day. There were a couple of chairs that were torn and unusable. Those never got addressed.

Nice property, a little dated

Did not do my due diligence. "Top Floor Condo" is actually "4 flights of stairs." Nice view though. Clean and comfortable. Dryer needs maintenance. Notified property manager before we left.

Comfy, easy, and perfect location

My kids and I loved staying here. It’s so close to the beach — we could see the ocean on one side and the bay on the other from our porch, and walked just across the road and between two hotels to reach the sand. We followed the advice of reviewers here and took plenty of supplies: extra laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, toilet paper, paper towels, Clorox wipes, a frying pan, blender, dish towels, and pantry essentials, in addition to the groceries we needed for our stay. We didn’t end up needing our own paper products or bath towels, but we used everything else. The grocery store is about a mile down the road, which was a long walk; I drove after the first time. Restaurants are a little walk, too, but parking is pretty easy in general and it wasn’t a problem. Try El Burro Azul for great Mexican food with a beach view—delicious and we ate there twice. The condo was clean, comfortable, and nicely furnished.The beds were comfy enough and the two couches in the living room were great for naps and overnight sleeps. We did bring our own blankets and pillows — our family likes lots of each. I especially appreciated the washer and dryer; it seems like we used them constantly. Check-in and check-out by text were super simple. Anytime I needed anything, Vacasa responded promptly to my texts. Highly recommended — I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Worst VRBO on this app (we had to call the police)

Our experience at this VRBO was so bad we had to end up calling the police because of an incident.When we went to go into the property, we saw a basket of someone's dirty laundry had been left by the front door. We unlock the front door, only to realize that the side glass door/window doors had been UNLOCKED, and CRACKED OPEN. I immediately contacted the owners/vacasa via VRBO, if for no other reason than to not be charged if anything had been stolen, and never received a reply. The property also looks nothing like the photos shown. Myself and the people I stayed with are convinced that the photos shown on VRBO are of a completely different unit.While walking myself friends out to their car the first (and only) night we were there, we notice a man standing in his window across from our unit, completely naked and touching himself, staring at us walk to their car. Feeling unsafe, we went upstairs to lock all of our windows and doors, only to find that none of the windows lock. We called the police, who had us file a report and advised up to immediately leave. We had to drive across the bay and into Mobile to stay with friends, and our trip ended. Following this incident, we reached out to the VRBO again, who were evasive and unhelpful. We asked for a refund for the final two nights we had planned to stay there, and they only refunded us 90. The total we were told we would be refunded was closer to 225. Vacasa should be shut down.

Cute condo but the 48 stairs with no elevator was disappointment.

Looked just like inside pictures....kitchen dishes were scarce and I would have expected more than 1 roll of paper towels and 2 rolls of the for a week.

Get rid of the roaches and it’s great!

We really enjoyed unit 35. No complaints other than roaches and Smokey oven. The unit was a good size for my family, great location and appeared to be super clean. Until we noticed roaches in the kitchen. We went to preheat the oven and smoke filled the entire unit. So we just didn’t use our oven the entire stay. Which was unfortunate because we had bought groceries to save money. We chose this unit because it was affordable and I feel like we got what we paid for.

Great location!

This was a great place to stay. Close to beach! Plenty of space and everything there that I needed for my family! The only negative is that it listed WiFi and there actually wasn’t. We didn’t need it since we spent most of our time at the beach.

Horrible timing or just how it is?

We were informed 2 days or so before our arrival property management had changed hands...from the moment we arrived the stay was ‘difficult’ to say the least. We arrived with a pretty big storm and directions provided were less than helpful. The unit was left of the 3 buildings and on the 3rd floor. Our parking space, not well labeled, was under the middle building, which with the several storms during our stay required wading through quite a bit of water as the only option to leave. The keyless entry made things smooth for quick move in, however it required a full investigation for us to even find the unit, as there were no signs on the buildings with a #range for units. We made our way across all of building two and through each level of our building before we located the last unit (street side) on the 3rd floor. After unloading I took a quick peak through kitchen cabinets and drawers to be sure basics were provided, very pleased with utensils and serve/cookware, unfortunately the surprise came when I spotted several roaches in the utensil drawer. Later spotted two crawling across the ceiling in the living/dining area and in front of the stackable washer/dryer. The cleaning products provided were smaller than sample sized and one trash bag for the entire stay in the kitchen. One roll of toilet paper for 5 people for 4 days, really? After 3 calls, we were informed that the unit was sprayed after the 1st call I made to vacasa, however an infestation was not going to be resolved with one spray. I made two more calls requesting trash bags and toilet paper and on our final evening the property manager made an in person delivery of requested items and apologized stating she was just informed of our issues that day, after my 3rd call. Just disappointed:(
