  a guest from Hixson, TN does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The Bluewater complex is very conveniently located, with grocery and restaurants close by, and it’s not too big. The beach was never crowded during our stay, and the elevators seemed to run very quickly. The unit itself was updated, but the guest beds were not very comfortable as has been mentioned in previous reviews. The pullout sofa was pretty much worthless and bowed up in the middle. My only other complaint was that I was charged for two parking passes when I placed my reservation online. I called the office to let them know that I probably only needed one pass, and the gentleman I spoke with was very friendly and said to just call back later and let them know. When I called back, I spoke with a different gentleman who was very rude and was unable to credit the second parking pass that I didn’t need. I would definitely stay in this complex again, but I am not sure if I would book a property from this rental agency again.

    Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that the beds were uncomfortable and that the sofa sleeper didn’t meet this guest’s expectations. All reservations automatically include charges for two parking passes. We ask guests to contact us at least 72 hours prior to their arrival if they wish to have any parking passes removed, and this information is emailed to all guests ahead of time. The parking pass should have been removed during the guest’s first call, and we sincerely apologize that it wasn’t. We take pride in providing respectful service and wish we had more details about who this guest spoke with so we could address the issue. We hope this guest will reconsider and give us the opportunity to serve them again. At Gulf Shores Rentals, we are always looking to improve our properties to ensure an enjoyable stay for our guests. Thank you! -Gulf Shores Rentals

  a guest from Duson, LA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  1st the condo. The beds were horrible so uncomfortable and itched all over didt get much sleep. The master bathroom shower every time turned on would spray out to left and get floors wet . Every morning I would drink coffee on balcony and would get smell of weed so bad had to go inside. The A/C could not keep up and was hot. We kept balcony doors and curtains closed to try and keep it kinda cool. The bed sheets were marked in permanent markers with the room# very tacky. The coffee pot would leak water all over.
  2nd the pool could not enjoy with kids . They would throw hard footballs taking the whole pool . Falling on top of kids to catch ball ask them if they could move a little so we wouldt get hit and them fall on us. They thought it was funny . Amongst a lot of other things. No Respect or courtesy.
  3rd the beach chairs to rent. That was a joke that was a waste of a lot of money they set up so for back from beach and everyone would set up in front of you so close. with there personal stuff you couldt even make it to beach.
  
  I can keep going but I think my message is clear. My family and I go to orange beach every year but I can say we will not be returning to BlueWater or orange beach for that matter.
  
  Horrible place NEVER AGAIN

    We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience this guest encountered. If a condo is not up to par, we can send housekeeping or maintenance to address the issues. This guest never contacted us to allow us to try to fix the issues stated in the review. We're very sorry about the bed, shower, and coffee pot situation. Unfortunately, all of the other issues are out of our control. At Gulf Shores Rentals, we continually strive to improve our properties to ensure an enjoyable stay for our guests. Thank you!

  Place was exactly as pictured. On the gulf great view of water. . I’m always concerned about how clean a rental is. It was clean! We were pleased about that. The main door lock needs to be fixed asap! Couldn’t get in had to call. Help was fast and I was glad I could talk to a human and not just leave a message. Bummer the hot tub, it was broken and wish there was an outside hot tub too.

  a guest from GROVES, TX does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Our family goes to Destin, FL every year; however, we decided to invite our extended family (out of the country) to Orange Beach this time and we were not impressed. The pictures on the website was deceiving, very small for 10 people. The condo's was not cleaned thoroughly. Floor was filthy, dust on ceiling fans, mildew on shower curtain. We had to sweep and mop beginning of our stay. The condo definately needs lots of updates. There's no ceiling lights, only lamps throughout the condo. Too dim and gloomy for our liking. We did enjoyed the oversized balcony overlooking the beach; unfortunately, that was the only thing that we enjoyed. I strongly recommend nonstick pots and pans. That would make breakfast so much easier for eggs and pancakes. Overall, we were disappointed and had to apologize to our family for the condition of the condo. Will not be back.

    Hello. The photos online are exactly how the unit looks. We also provide the square footage of the units in their descriptions. If a unit is not up to par on cleanliness when you arrive, we can send a housekeeping team out to clean again. We never heard from you regarding anything. Your maintenance issues will be passed along to that department to be corrected. We are always looking to improve our properties to ensure an enjoyable stay for our guests. Thank you!

  a guest from Madison, MS recommends this vacation rental

  Our family enjoyed our vacation. The location was wonderful...close to everything. The beach is beautiful. Condo was spacious and well outfitted. Note to future Bluewater visitors: you are only allowed 2 parking passes. We were told by the rental company to park our 3rd car at Wal Mart only to return and find that it had been towed and required a $244 ransom to retrieve it. Not sure how to solve this problem when you have family coming from more than two locations to meet for vacation, but there needs to be a solution. We can’t be the only ones to have this issue.

  Actually it was really great. The condo was as advertised and perfect beach spot and view. The only changes I would make were a few games and cousins for the patio chairs. Also, a tad more cleaning. The floors needed a good mopping inside and on patio. However, I would rent again in a moment!!

  Location and view was awesome, but the condo was not clean, shower liner was mildewed and had to be changed out that took two calls on two separate days to get resolved, king bed was half bed up with full size sheets, stove very unleveled!

  a guest from Nashville, TN recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was clean and in a great location - we were able to walk to several restaurants and grocery stores. The best feature is definitely the oversized patio overlooking the beach - there is plenty of room to spread out. We had an issue with the condo not being ready upon our arrival, but the management company was very accessible and helpful and we were able to work things out. You do have to drive into Gulf Shores to pick-up the unit keys, but it was a very easy process. Also, keep in mind the entire Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area is still being rebuilt after the 2020 hurricane season, so there's a lot of construction happening along the beach.
