GS 501: Sandy Adventures

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than 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: None of the ceiling fan lights worked. Had only one light in the guest bedroom. Had to use the closet lights to see. Wi-fi is to sporadic in the master bedroom to use due to lack of signal. Pac-man game only works for one user not two. Almost fell in hall bath tub due to lack of a rubber mat; which I found later under the sink and installed. Hallway bath sink stoppers were so clogged up that I almost didn't get them to spring open after use.There are ants in the kitchen and found ant spray under kitchen sink; so they've been there for awhile.The TV and cable box were unplugged in the guest bedroom. No one from management checked the condition of the condo before we got there and we got there late. This is an older condo but these are things that should have been fixed considering the money we spent to rent.

We have stayed at Gulfside before and in several different units. They have all always been very well kept and clean.On this trip we had to call and ask for maintenance to come and take care of a sink that was stopped up and they came over and took care of it that day.Other guests that we met in out building were friendly as well.

We try and always stay in 1 of 4 condo complexes due to proximity of Tom Thumb. You don't realize how convenient it is...until it's not! We walk to Tom Thumb everyday, sometimes twice a day. This condo was very nice. But it lacked personality. Furnishings were generic and there wasn't really a beach vibe. The arcade game was a bonus. Maintenance was spot on and there quickly when we needed them. Bedframe in spare bedroom was broken - actually not put together correctly. When we recognized the problem, maintenance came and fixed the same day. Rooftop pool was awesome. Despite having stayed at this complex before, we'd never used the pool. We thought it would be too hot. Quite the opposite. There was a great breeze up there. And the couple times we used, was either empty or maybe 1 other person there. Overall, this was a great condo. But would be even better with some beach decor.

The condo was spotless with updated living room furnishings and drapes. The balcony is the best on the island. The building is showing its age and could benefit from a spruce up. The pool area is kept clean and is so enjoyable due to the view The WiFi in this unit is spotty however Brooks and Shorey responded immediately to address this. We appreciate the consistent service from the management company!

Neither worked properly. This may be a deal breaker as far as re booking until the upgrade is done. Otherwise, we loved our stay!!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view was great from this room. Room was very clean and very well decorated. We did have some issues but maintenance was there the same day to fix the high priority issue. The door handle to the balcony was broken and when showed to maintenance he said he would have to get the part and fix it. He never came back. The parking is worst if you drive a big vehicle. Parking is under the building and it’s hard to get a full size truck or suv under. The dryer in this unit doesn’t work very good. You have to start the cycle several times before anything is dry. The pool was green looking. Did report that but it never cleared up. We will continue to book with Brooks and Shorey but just won’t stay here. We thought the roof top would be awesome but not when it’s green looking. I know that’s not taken care of by Brooks and Shorey but it plays a part as to if someone wants to stay there or not. Same with parking.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Third day into our stay we woke to the kitchen and hallway flooded with water from the fridge. The ice maker was pouring water. Called the number for maintenance and 30 minutes later they showed. In the meantime I was emptying buckets of water flowing from the ice maker. We had to buy ice to get us through the rest of the week. Also couldn’t get tv in the master to work. Tv in the other bedroom didn’t work either. Water pressure in the master shower wasn’t strong enough to rinse hair in the shower. The other bathroom was a little better so we had to use that one. Had rain a few days so a DVD player would have been nice but did not have one in the unit.
