We stayed in this property while we were attending Hangout Music Festival. The location was very convenient and close to the venue, which is exactly what we needed. It was also very affordable and fairly quiet. The property itself was quite old and dated, and the room was very small. The room smelled vaguely of mildew. A renovation would really do this property some justice. Nonetheless, we only needed to be close to the festival and the free parking was a major plus.

Just OK

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The building has a rundown look. The tiny refrigerator doesn't work well and drools water onto the floor, toilet keeps running with nearly every flush, the front stairs have irregular tread heights from one to another making ascending and descending a bit tricky. Also, some of the steps have an uneven tread surface also making their use tricky. It is a dangerous situation for those that are unaware or anyone who is a bit of a fall risk. Love the location as it right across the street from the Pink Pony Pub which was next door to the Gulf Shores Motel we stayed at when I was a "tweenager" in the 60's and 70's.

Spring break stay

A lot smaller than the pictures showed. The bathroom ceiling had lots of water damage. Basic toiletries were left, but if you know that the guest is staying for a week, leave more than one roll of toilet paper. My biggest complaint was the remodeling next door. This was my vacation and the noise from next door would not allow me to sleep past 7. It would have been nice to have been notified that they were remodeling or at least moved my room. Walls are super thin and you can hear everything from the other rooms. I also wasn’t left a parking pass/welcome pass in my room so that whole first night I worried about my car being towed. I did like I could walk to beach and to the souvenir shops and the hangout.

Amazing Location

We could not have asked for a better location. We went to the beach everyday with ease. Within walking distance of a lot of restaurants and shops. They had a texting service which made it easy to communicate with the team and check-in. This place is small, but perfect for two people. We are very active, but did spend time to chill in the room. We had plenty of room for our things and to get ready. They had drawers for each people, and the nightstands have 2 big drawers as well. When we wanted to relax, we used the bed to lounge. The kitchen is plenty big for 2 people on vacation. The only issues we had were dirty comforter on the bed and the a/c was not fulling functioning. The comforter had some caked on, sticky food stuff. We didn’t even sleep under the sheets/comforter. It wasn’t a stain, it was fairly new ick. There was also previous renters papers and sheets in one of the drawers that was forgotten by the cleaning team. The maintenance team brought us a fan which was very nice. We would stay again.

NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship - weekend getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed in other units on past years so we knew about this place. The room is very small and the bed takes up most of the space in this unit. However for the price and for the location it is great! Right across the street from the volleyball tournament and plenty of places to eat within an easy walking distance. We only needed the unit for sleep and showering.

Good location, inexpensive

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location and price. Not as clean as I would have hoped. Management was very responsive to replace Keurig that did not work. We wished that there was a place to sit and relax, but that is on us for not paying attention to pictures when renting. Building was quiet. Coin-op Laundry worked well.

The condo is the perfect size for a couples getaway. It is in the perfect location for easy beach access, good food options, and shopping or activities.

Love this place. Second time staying at Beach View in this unit. Room is perfect for two. Convenient and easy to get to the beach and many restaurants. Parking was a breeze! This may be a little picky but there are some pretty nasty looking stains on the toilet bowl which I noticed immediately. But for the most part everything was clean and organized. The only thing this unit lacks is a full sized refrigerator for our longer stays! Overall, very laid back, cozy and affordable stay. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Fun stay

Overall good stay. The building's a bit run down on the outside and the parking area and stairs were dirty. I requested the address to the exact location of the property and was directed to the website where i was unable to find it. I requested it again and was ignored. The location was great and the room was adequate. Nothing fancy but nice.

Great location, basic room, & a bed for a giant.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 room was fine overall. Basic room, kitchen, bathroom. My only complaint would be the height of the bed. I am 5ft 2 inches & had to climb up into the bed. The bed slept fine, but once you get in it's a struggle to get out. I would not stay here again because of the super high bed. If I were older this would most definitely be a safety hazard.

No communication with manager

Everything with the listing was good room was as advertised but my vehicle was towed because it was a truck parked under the building but the others under there was not. The overflow lot was always full from people that wasn’t staying there and none towed. Also vrbo didn’t even give me the right contact info for my reservation so I couldn’t speak to anyone.

Fine for the price minus the fees!

For an inexpensive place to stay, it was fine but there is nothing fancy if you’re looking for that. If you’re planning to stay bring an extension cord for cell phones because there wasn’t an outlet near the bed. Also the only mirror was a small mirror above the small vanity. It would have been nice to have a dressing one on the bathroom door. A small area rug would have been a plus as well.
