Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay in gulf shores. The condo was as described. The beach is pretty eroded in front of the condo so really nowhere to set up chairs and a tent. The water comes all the way up to the walkway. Pool was nice, location was nice. Would stay there again. The kitchen light probably needs replacing soon and the right side balcony door handle is very hard to open. ##### kristy i. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie L. 21 Jun 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean and great location Loved the balcony and the view.

The location is great, has great beach access and adequate parking. However, the whole unit needs to be updated. Make sure to personally contact the realty company about details before booking as the online description and information doesn't necessarily match up. With a a little TLC, this unit would be a perfect vacation getaway. ##### Jamie D.

Reviewer Comments: Unfortunately we were not informed at booking or prior to check-in that there were multiple ongoing repairs, including a large hole in the tile on the back patio. The furnishings are old. Building is old and not well kept up. ##### Peter T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara C. 17 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Small but cozy The pictures on the site are good. The condo is smaller than the pictures show. However, plenty of room for our family of 5\. Kitchen and bathrooms are small. The couch pulls out into a bed. The view from the balcony was wonderful. I would suggest more chairs outside, preferably that rock. There was some paint chipping from the walls and leftover food boxes left in the fridge. Otherwise we didn’t have any issues. The pool was my youngest kids favorite. The water had a lot of seaweed but we still had so much fun in the ocean and at the beach. Plenty of food places around and we ate around 4-5 pm for dinner and never had to wait very long. I would suggest Desotos Seafood Kitchen and the Sunliner Diner. ##### Kara C.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The kitchen was very dirty. My wife took an hour once we got there cleaning before she felt comfortable. The side of the refrigerator was caked in a black/orange hardened food that must have been there for a long time. The bathtub in the south bedroom was backed up immediately after our first shower. Beds and furniture were very outdated and uncomfortable. Location was great, balcony was large and enjoyable. Pool was warm, hot tub was broken as well as a later in the pool. Charging for beach chairs is laughable out of all the resorts we’ve been to it is quite insulting. ##### Ryan P.

Reviewer Comments: Location was the best! Condo: popcorn ceiling peeling in spots and ceiling was black where the vents were blowing out; musty smelling; bathroom caulk mold around tub and counter; ceiling fans had lots of visible dirt on them; coffee maker broken; kitchen light had to stay on the whole time we were there because after we turned it off we thought it was broken too but if finally randomly came back on; microwave front would fall off when opening door; and lots of tiles were missing on balcony but stacked in corner. Did not complain because I looked at Benders available rentals and they looked worse and weren't dirctly on beach. I did go buy cleaner and cleaned and left the door open 24/7 except when gone so we could breathe and air it out. ##### Kim E. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kimberly 16 Mar 2023 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The view from the balcony was the absolute best. However, the condo was in need of attention. For the price paid, I definitely expected better. Balcony tiles were missing and stacked in the corner. Popcorn ceilings were coming off. Ceiling fans had so much build up of dirt, I had to buy cleaner and then vacuum the big dust bunnies that fell. Used the cleaner to disinfect everything else and try to rid condo of the musty smells. Bathroom was molded around tub and counter. Cabinet doors were peeling and bathroom cabinet doors were falling off. Coffee maker did not work at all. Kitchen light had to stay on the whole time because we turned it off and could never get it back on. So once it came on, we didn’t turn it back off. Also, it was annoying that we had to go out and buy toilet paper and trash bags after spending a fortune on the rental. I did not notify the rental company as it was last minute trip and I pulled up their other available rentals and did not want my other options as they looked worse. ##### Kimberly This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 17 May 2023 #### Rest Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

The condo was nicely equipped and the beds were comfortable. The owner was gracious enough to rent a recliner for us during our stay. The condo does need some TLC. The LR furniture is not particularly comfortable. ##### Mary Y.
