From booking to checkout, the communication was on point. The location was perfect, and the access to the beach made it easy with a 4 year old. The onsite chair and umbrella rentals were convenient and limited the amount of things we had to carry. Overall, we had an amazing time and would book again.

Amazing location.
The area is beautiful. The listing was accurate in all the details. There were two downsides. The parking pass was $67 which I believe is a little high. There was also a little bit of mold in the sink and washer. Overall I still give all elements of the stay 5 stars. Check in was super easy and all communication regarding any issues were addressed quickly. We did loose our hot water, but the maintenance crew responded very quickly and resolved the issue quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend this condo to everyone who desires to experience Orange Beach, Alabama.

Disappointed
We had issue with the breaker flipping any time we tried to use the master bathroom electrical outlets and the guest bathroom outlets at the same time. We had to use 1 outlet in the master bedroom to get ready to go out to eat. We reported the issue and it was never resolved. We also found some bugs in the bathrooms. The master bathroom shower curtain rod and clips are rusted and it got all over my towels.

Les points faibles : Arrivée et communication
Disappointed
the management company accepted all fees well in advance, but did not send entry instructions the week before as promised. I called them around noon (no answer, left message) and messaged through VRBO to get entry instructions. A while later I got a VRBO message stating i needed to complete another form to get the instructions, which i was surprised to find that there was also an additional $62 charge for parking. I called again to find out about the parking and where i got the actual pass to hang in the window (no answer, left message), finally at 4:00, i got a call back where they were clearing messages from the phone. This is not the type of service i expect on arrival day.
When we got in the unit, there was a dehumidifier on the counter with a hose going into the sink, with a big sign on it that read, "Do NOT touch, you WILL lose your deposit", which seemed to me to be less than pleasant. BTW, the unit was never running the entire 5 day stay and there was a lot of moisture in the unit. The no smoking rules were not enforced, there was a lot of cigarette, cigar, and pot smoking that we could smell from out balcony daily.
Other than that the place was great, love the location, and Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area

On the beach, great views!
First time in Orange Beach and we loved it! We had a slight problem getting the key out of the box ( us not her fault lol) I texted her and she responded very quickly. The view from the balcony is great, we even saw dolphins and rays! My only suggestion is coasters since the coffee tables are glass, oven mitts and possibly leaving glass cleaner lol My husband dripped something on the glass coffee table and there wasn't one cleaning product in the whole condo. We can't wait to come back and would rent this condo again if it was open to our dates! Clean, on the beach and great balcony!
