Summer House 603A 3 bedroom 2 bath gulf-front condominium Orange Beach

Overall the property was nice and location was good. But I think it is weird that they provide almost no items in the property (like only a single roll of toilet paper) for a week long stay. You should expect to need to buy everything to stock the house upon arrival and frequent trips to grocery store. They also don't use Vrbo to communicate and insisted upon using text messaging even though Vrbo advises against that. We didn't have any issues but I could see this bring a problem if there was some dispute because all communications would have happened outside of the platform. I am also not a fan of having to sign separate (very unfavorable) contracts outside of the platform. There's a reason I rent through this platform and I don't want to deal with additional contract terms beyond the protection that the platform offers.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, our experience was very positive. We were happy for the opportunity to extend our stay for one night.A suggestion:There needs to be clearer info on your website about the ability to get day guest passes for friends who are visiting just for the day and not staying the night. The condo needs an upgrade on the electrical outlets. It was very challenging to find easy access to charge phones, etc.At the very least, note on your website that one needs to bring a power strip for each bedroom.

Dirty, walls had black & brown stuff all over. Construction was going on the dust everywhere. The railings were rigged with a board, not safe. Parking was awful at night you had to park across the road & cross four lanes of busy traffic. Hot water was only enough for maybe 2 quick showers. Would not recommend. Pictures were deceiving.

Our room was not clean and felt dirty all around. Cheezits and food on the floor and the bed sheets felt unclean. Only one elevator worked correctly. And parking was horrendous. Had to park across the street and there was no cross walk so navigating across the road was dangerous. Won't stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location and balcony with ocean front view. Near shopping and restaurants. Walkable to some. Neat and mostly clean. Couch was comfy. Kitchen had most appliances needed. For the bad- the commode was leaking from the tank to the floor. I called and texted but response from management group till next day. Sent plumber who removed, reinstalled and then Uninstaller again old toilet. Went and picked up another commode and installed it. We couldn't use that bathroom. Most of the day. That night smoke detector in my bedroom started chirping every 15 seconds. Called about it, said they would send someone but no one ever came. So after 3 hours I (61 year old) climb in a chair and take it down(and throw outside) where it disappears later on. Someone replaced it with new one but did NOT notify me they were coming into condo. I don't like the management company.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, beautiful beach, loved the spacious deck. Sleeping arrangements were good! Kitchen lacked a lot! Pot holders would have been nice ( I burned my thumb using dishtowels) Ice maker worked well! Condo could use some updating, especially the entrance area which was dingy (door really needed a coat of paint)! There was no vacum cleaner or mop (both were needed on many occasions). We did not let this affect our vacation. We have been going to the gulf coast for over forty years! Nothing is ever perfect!

The property was older (rust and film or condensation build up on the doors and windows) but the condo itself was clean and functional. Nice outdoor pool and easy access to the beach. Right in the middle of everything so shopping was close by.

The pans for cooking are really worn and not really usable but we just went to Walmart and bought a frying pan. Other than that everything was good

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After we made a trip to the store and bought cleaning supplies and mopped the floors we enjoyed out stayed. We reported the floors to the rental company and they offered to send housekeeping floor to re-mop the floors, but from what I saw the floors had not been mopped before we arrived and we had already took care of the problem.Other than the floors being dirty everything else was good. The rental company was very helpful.
