    We had issue with the breaker flipping any time we tried to use the master bathroom electrical outlets and the guest bathroom outlets at the same time. We had to use 1 outlet in the master bedroom to get ready to go out to eat. We reported the issue and it was never resolved. We also found some bugs in the bathrooms. The master bathroom shower curtain rod and clips are rusted and it got all over my towels.

    Having a teen who wants to fish and family who wants to enjoy the beach, this location was prefect. Plus, we learned to play pickleball, crab hunting and of course watching the sunset each night. I highly recommend this condo!

    Went on offshore fishing trip, perfect location! Easy to get to anything you need. Added bonus was being able to enjoy ocean view!

    The area is beautiful. The listing was accurate in all the details. There were two downsides. The parking pass was $67 which I believe is a little high. There was also a little bit of mold in the sink and washer. Overall I still give all elements of the stay 5 stars. Check in was super easy and all communication regarding any issues were addressed quickly. We did loose our hot water, but the maintenance crew responded very quickly and resolved the issue quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend this condo to everyone who desires to experience Orange Beach, Alabama.

    the management company accepted all fees well in advance, but did not send entry instructions the week before as promised. I called them around noon (no answer, left message) and messaged through VRBO to get entry instructions. A while later I got a VRBO message stating i needed to complete another form to get the instructions, which i was surprised to find that there was also an additional $62 charge for parking. I called again to find out about the parking and where i got the actual pass to hang in the window (no answer, left message), finally at 4:00, i got a call back where they were clearing messages from the phone. This is not the type of service i expect on arrival day. When we got in the unit, there was a dehumidifier on the counter with a hose going into the sink, with a big sign on it that read, Do NOT touch, you WILL lose your deposit, which seemed to me to be less than pleasant. BTW, the unit was never running the entire 5 day stay and there was a lot of moisture in the unit. The no smoking rules were not enforced, there was a lot of cigarette, cigar, and pot smoking that we could smell from out balcony daily. Other than that the place was great, love the location, and Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area
