Island Shores 655- Beach Front, Walk Everywhere ! Just Look at This View!!

Size of building was great. Not crowded Excellent location and security present at all times. The condo was clean but mattreses and towels definitely need to be updated. We booked this condo because it was available for a three night rental. The bar of provided soap was the size of a half dollar. Towels are threadbare and thin. I wouldn't use them as rags. Be sure to bring a good towel and bar of soap!

The view was great and we were right on the beach. The condo itself was okay but needed some work. The unit had pubic hair on the toilets and the floors had not been mopped. In addition a dried dirty washcloth was hanging from the shower rod. I did not contact management as I did not want cleaners coming in after we had our things in. Instead I cleaned the areas we used with Clorox wipes and we did not go barefooted in the condo.

Manager was great. Location was great. There were a few things that I was concerned with. But mostly the mold in the condo being covered up.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location of this condo. The building itself was well maintained and cute. We loved their beach gear ‘borrow box’. It had plenty of floats/noodles/chairs/sand toys to borrow. The walk to the beach was short. We did take advantage of the laundry facilities and it was clean & the machines worked perfectly. $2 per wash/dry. The security gaurds kept the place safe and clean.The condo itself was very clean. The view from the balcony was so good. Plenty of seating to enjoy morning coffee and evening games. But there were some disappointing things. The water pressure was terrible. The towels provided were terrible (I recommend bringing your own!) & there was nowhere to hang them to dry. Nothing dried in the condo... bath towels, beach towels or bathing suits. I realize that we are in a humid environment but I’ve stayed at many beech condos/houses and I’ve never experienced that.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. 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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived at the complex we were informed that the elevator was not working. We were staying on the top floor, 6th, and as we were just 2 older ladies there was no way that we could take everything up by stairs. It took 3 days to fix! Unacceptable! We fill like we should be compensated something. Other than that, which was horrible, and hardly any water pressure for showers, the beach and food was great for Gulf Shores. I would recommend staying here as long as the elevator works.

Absolutely perfect place for the price! We really needed this vacation, and it exceeded all expectations. We are grateful!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay very much. The location was perfect, and the view was amazing. We had a couple of very small issues with the condo that the management company addressed and fixed immediately! (A couple of outlets and a bathroom fan not working) We will stay again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is in a great location for Gulf Shores. The view from the 6th floor was lovely. It was clean and easy check in and check out. It could use an update on bedroom mattresses, however. The provided bathroom towels were very thin and threadbare. The provided bar of soap was very small and lasted one day. We had no elevator problems and appreciated the security guards presence. Overall, we had a nice stay but the condo could use a bit of TLC. It was perfect for our three night stay.

The property was not what I expected. I called to assure there was a washer and dryer in the condo that we booked. I was told there is a laundry facility which cost 4 bucks to do a load wash/dry. The shams on my bed were dirty with someone else’s snot. We spent lots of time running and enjoying the beach. Also, we did not have enough towels for 6 people. Some of the plugs and lamps did not work. The best part of the place was a security guard named Dan. He was very helpful to recommend Daupin island, Mikee’s seafood, and Gulf Island Grill. Both places had excellent food. 655 was right by the elevator so you heard all the noise of everyone else coming and going.

It should’ve provided quality toiletries. Great location. Easy check in & check out process. It will be great to have blinders in the living room. Also, not dryer & washer machines inside the unit. That wasn’t clear enough when we booked.
