We paid nearly 2,800 for a Monday-Saturday stay at Surfside Shores in Gulf Shores, booked through Southern Vacation Rentals, and it turned into one of the most disappointing vacation experiences we’ve ever had.Just 53 minutes before check-in, we were informed that the master bedroom and bathroom had flooded. Instead of notifying us sooner or providing comparable accommodations, we were told there would be drying machines set up and that we were not to unplug them. This meant dealing with extremely loud blowers and cords running everywhere throughout the condo, making it impossible to relax or even properly use the master bedroom and bathroom we paid for.Their solution was to offer us only 163 and ask our family of six to pack up and move to another unit a mile away for two nights while they attempted to clean up the damage and remove the terrible smell. Moving in the middle of a vacation with six people is a huge inconvenience, especially after spending thousands of dollars on accommodations.When we returned on Wednesday, the situation was even worse. Instead of two machines, there were now six industrial drying machines, more cords running throughout the condo, and doors had been removed from the hinges and left sitting in the walkway. The master bedroom and bathroom were still completely unusable. Considering this was only a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo and we had six people staying, losing half of the accommodations we paid for!
