There is an electrical issue with the heater on the hot tub - it blows the main breaker if the heater is on and you run an appliance in the condo. Otherwise, it was a nice stay. Just a couple of things that would make it even better would be a couple more towels, a plug for the kitchen sink. It's very close to the beach, shops and restaurants. We could walk to these places easily. ##### Hawbaker L.

Had to buy candles and leave windows and door open to be able to tolerate it ##### Tya R.

No complaints, everything is fairly new and appears to be in good shape. Modern farmhouse decor inside and nice outdoor furniture on deck and around pool. Could use a lounger by the pool. The grounds are nicely landscaped but have not been maintained very well. Needs a little tlc and the weeds pulled before they takeover. Overall I would recommend staying here. Only 2 blocks to the beach and down the street from several restaurants. Basically close to everything in Gulf Shores! ##### Pam C.

However, the second day we lost power and reached out to Beach Ball several times for help with no success. They said they would report it to maintenance and it was over 7 hours before we heard from them. By this time, we had contacted the power company who said we would need an electrician because they showed we had power. My daughter’s boyfriend was able to find the main breaker and finally flip it to restore the power. ##### Candice M.

She said she still had to clean it which was fine by us !! She took about an hour and then left after that we found that the hot tube was not getting hot and phones in ! Their maintenance guy called and explained what was going on with the hot tub and that it would be fixed soon because it needed a part , it was the only reason my wife chose this place so she was bummed out !! It got fixed on Monday morning and she at least got to enjoy it for the last two days we were ther.e !! Despite all the annoyance of how it started off it was a good vacation and I will consider renting this property again!! ##### Jeremy J.

We called Property managers twice and it was never taken care of. The downstairs guests turned on the hot tub and we had TV on in upstairs unit so the power in upstairs unit went out. Again, we had to call twice to get the power restored. The hot tub is wired into the upstairs unit for some reason. The maintenance guy who came was awesome tho. Then we had workers installing gutters while we were there. Pretty place, management is pretty bad. Wouldnt recommend. ##### Denise R.

Owners were great about our pets staying too. Quiet street, easy two blocks to beach. So nice to have the pool as well! Too warm outside for the hot tub though. Duplex was clean, had all the things we needed. We had trouble with the front door passcode. Called the Beachball property number, answered right away, they got us a new passcode right as we were at the door. No problem after that. Very nice accommodation! ##### Mark W.
