One tiny roll of bathroom tissue per bathroom, few worn towels, one bed sagged in the middle, no blow dryer. The elevator broke on Sunday afternoon and by Monday morning, no one had come to fix it. We are over 80, and this was a REAL problem. The contact I spoke with on the phone was pleasant and eager to help the problems we were having with VRBO’s (?) tech in getting signed in. Give her a raise. Beach view was lovely and our unit was clean. Dark beach good

Great view & location

It should’ve provided quality toiletries. Great location. Easy check in & check out process. It will be great to have blinders in the living room. Also, not dryer & washer machines inside the unit. That wasn’t clear enough when we booked.

The view was great and we were right on the beach. The condo itself was okay but needed some work. The unit had pubic hair on the toilets and the floors had not been mopped. In addition a dried dirty washcloth was hanging from the shower rod. I did not contact management as I did not want cleaners coming in after we had our things in. Instead I cleaned the areas we used with Clorox wipes and we did not go barefooted in the condo.

Size of building was great. Not crowded Excellent location and security present at all times. The condo was clean but mattreses and towels definitely need to be updated. We booked this condo because it was available for a three night rental. The "bar" of provided soap was the size of a half dollar. Towels are threadbare and thin. I wouldn't use them as rags. Be sure to bring a good towel and bar of soap!

Liar liar pants on fire

The property was not what I expected. I called to assure there was a washer and dryer in the condo that we booked. I was told there is a laundry facility which cost 4 bucks to do a load wash/dry. The shams on my bed were dirty with someone else’s snot. We spent lots of time running and enjoying the beach. Also, we did not have enough towels for 6 people. Some of the plugs and lamps did not work. The best part of the place was a security guard named Dan. He was very helpful to recommend Daupin island, Mikee’s seafood, and Gulf Island Grill. Both places had excellent food. 655 was right by the elevator so you heard all the noise of everyone else coming and going.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The condo is in a great location for Gulf Shores. The view from the 6th floor was lovely. It was clean and easy check in and check out. It could use an update on bedroom mattresses, however. The provided bathroom towels were very thin and threadbare. The provided "bar" of soap was very small and lasted one day. We had no elevator problems and appreciated the security guards presence. Overall, we had a nice stay but the condo could use a bit of TLC. It was perfect for our three night stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our week long stay! Great location, stores and restaurants within walkable distance and you can’t beat being right on the ocean. Super easy checkin, was cleaned well upon arrival. Futon mattress was a bit thin and the mattress in the master room was a bit too soft in the middle, but we would definitely stay again! It’s what we expected of a budget friendly beach vacation.
