Nothing better than being directly on the beach with a pool, but there were some issues
The good: 4 BR, on the beach, semi-private pool, interior great for a big family Not listing-specific, but as Ohioans here for the 1st time, we noticed: properties in this gulf region are much more $$$ than further south in FL. Traveling w/5 kids, we opted to pay more in order to cut 3-7 hours out of the drive. Also, there's not much vegetation relative to further south. And not walkable - no sidewalks on this main drag. Feels a little desolate. The bad: -Chiefly, the pool was broken for ~3 days. After repair, the underwater light never came back on (thus robbing us of pleasant nighttime swimming ambience). Things break. That's life. But unfortunately mgmt didn't make it right via small partial refund, gift cards, etc. (something I know exemplary VRBO listings do). We paid a premium for a pool that was unusable for almost 1/2 the stay. -Outdoor shower plumbing leaks everywhere when in use & is "secured" w/duct tape. Vacuum cleaner doesn't work. -Stingy amt of supplies: 1 dishwasher pod, etc. Maybe that's the standard in Gulf Shores, but definitely doesn't feel hospitable for a place that sleeps 12 -Confusing communication after booking. An unsolicited & vague text from property mgmt read like spam. Before I engaged, I messaged the owner on VRBO to verify legitimacy -"Clean" bedding was sandy upon check-in This year we're driving 4 hrs further south to stay at a place w/almost same amenities, 1k more sf, but at half the price.

Good time of year to visit.
Condo was well equipped with condiments ; salt, pepper, coffee filters, Had enough pots and pans and other kitchen items . The storage closet outside was full of pails, shovels and floats of all sizes . I was very dissatisfied with the cleanliness of the place! Under the beds desperately needed dusting as did the ceiling fans. Trash can area in kitchen was filthy, trash cans outside were very smelly and need to be cleaned. The door in the upstairs master was hard to keep closed but the air conditioner worked well. Probably would not stay there again .

Wonderful Vacation Home for our Family
We weren’t sure what to expect after reading some bad reviews after we had already booked. If you are looking for “new” and fancy- this isn’t the home for you. You should go to a higher price point- like twice as high if those things are important. We were all pleasantly surprised and quite frankly think those low reviews are ridiculous! The kitchen has MORE than enough dishes, pots and pans and utensils. There were coffee filters, spices, laundry soap, dishwasher soap. The owners even provided big, thick beach towels and tons of beach toys, floats and chairs. The location can’t be beat. The pool was lovely and no smaller than any private home beach pool. Yes, you hear the neighbors going up the steps but they hear you also. It’s not a big deal. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is the beds upstairs (3 bedrooms up) really were not too comfortable according to my adult children. The king downstairs was fine for my husband and myself. We would love to make this home our annual family vacation rental if the mattresses get upgraded. But we had a wonderful stay and made fabulous memories!

B side elaborated or attempted. 1500 character limit sucks vrbo!
I was going to elaborate on all these reviews and offer my thoughts as well but there is a 1500 char. limit so - pool IS MUCH smaller than you may think from the pics. but still did its job for our small ones in our stay. - Deck is in need of refinish and stain or paint. as well as the small walk out below the pool deck. -Plenty of cookware. Toaster size was fine. weird thing to review, Robert. -curtain situation is lacking BAD. two deck door curtains were upstairs in the bunk room and the window in living room was curtains just nailed up -we arrived an hour early, cleaner, a young college aged male, was finishing up. Assured him not to rush. Saying that, hire a better service. Very dusty fans, vents, bathroom vents. -Furniture is quite dingy -some outlets your plugs ins will just fall out of. Idk how else to explain. -floors aren't ideal for a beach house. They are worn and torn from elements. Also dont seemed to be put in correctly in many places. I think this is what one reviewer was considering "buckled" floors. - you WILL hear your neighbors obviously. Ours were great but sounded like a heard of buffalo going up and down stairs. Overall if you pay attention, and do research, this property seems to have been purchased not long ago and with some investment into the investment it can be better. Does need some very focused TLC. better than hauling crap up and down a condo though! would not rule out another stay and Tosha was great! 1500 char limit sucks VRBO!

Never Again
pool is much, much smaller than pictured. Pool did not appear to have been cleaned prior to our arrival had sand in pool. Underwater pool light did not work.Missing deck umbrella at pool side. Some bathroom lights were out, interior floor laminate is peeling in places. Outside deck paint gone exposing rusted screw heads. Kitchen lacked the cookware for 12 people. Had a 2 slot toaster and a 6" diameter skillet for 12 people. Found a couple of wall outlets not working. Missing livingroom curtain, could not watch TV in daytime because of the sunlight glare off TV. We only had 6 people but felt crowed and disapointed with the amenities. For what was paid, we expected much better.

A property needing TLC
The location was great-excellent beach access. The pool was small and shared with other side of unit. We arrived for check in at 4 pm and we were not able to get in as the cleaning service was still in the process of cleaning the unit. Property manager was notified that pool needed cleanng and pool maintenance crew came the next day and after that it was good. The was plenty of outdoor furniture and it was in good shape. The beds were comfortable and the appliances worked but over all this unit had a lot of wear and tear and really needed a deep clean, repairs and some updates. The back patio deck needed sanding and painting. There was an outdoor grill but it was filthy and there was nothing availabe to clean it with so we had to abandon our barbecue plans. Overall given the cost of the rental we expected it to be in better condition. Thosha,the property manager, was very responsive to texts. On the last day of our stay the lower floor AC unit was not working. Tosha got a technician out and had the unit working within a couple of hours.

In need of repair, shabby
Our experience here was very disappointing. The house is in bad shape. The floors are buckled throughout, and everything is wobbly and shabby. It needs some serious repair. Shower knob doesn’t work so using the shower was a chore. The umbrella on the deck was broken ( not a big deal) and I texted the owner and didn’t hear back until the next day. Nails on the deck and stairs sticking out due to poor repairs. The house next door is being repaired so the view was a pool full of furniture and green. There was also debris and trash all over the property from the building next door. Was a disappointing experience.

The location is great. It is on the sand and has a pool on the sand. Accessible to anything you need within minutes. There was plenty of room for a party of 7 -3 adults/4 kids ages 10-13. The beach is clean, pretty, and has a lot of shells everyday to look thru on walks. Everything was clean except the toilets and downstairs toilet and shower. The beds were all comfy. The Kitchen was functional. HVAC worked great downstairs and upstairs.

The location is wonderful. The view is amazing.
The house is very spacious and the furniture and beds are nice. The kitchen is functional and fairly well stocked. As long as you don’t mind construction workers on your deck at seven in the morning with compressors and air guns buzzing it’s a great vacation spot. I’m sure this house will be wonderful after the renovation are completed.

Enjoyed our stay!
Location and amenities are perfect! Home came with plenty of towels, a new charcoal grill and a washer and dryer. The pool was a plus but needed cleaned half way through the week. Didn’t see a pool net so we used a fish net we had. Beds were comfy. Owners were great to work with. Some updates needed such as toaster only worked on one side, no bathroom vents, some plug outlets had issues in upper master, outside deck stairs had a nail popping up. Overall we enjoyed our stay and with a few updates this could be a wonderful property.

Great location, property needs work
Loved the space and being on the beach with a pool was ideal. We had a fantastic time and we all fit well in the house BUT- this place needs some serious professional deep cleaning and maintenance. I know you don’t always have control over the cleaning crew but by the looks of the house, this has been an issue for a long time and it needs to be fixed. Having said that- we still had a fantastic time. The location made the vacation.

Multi-family beach vacation
As a large group of 19 we rented both sides of the duplex in Aug 21'. The total 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms made for great accommodations. Everyone had their own space. The private pool and direct beach access were an amazing win and were as awesome as advertised. There was a restaurant and small convenience store about a 10 minute walk away, otherwise you're driving for other food options and supplies. The owner was very attentive and responsive. We absolutely loved the location. The only cons were lots of stairs for those that this makes a difference and some items weren't top notch condition, but as a large group with lots of kids this was perfect for us. Items were minor in comparison to all the pros. Thanks for hosting us!
