  Ken M from Madison, MS recommends this vacation rental

  Overall very pleased with the stay. Nice layout. Spacious balcony of master and second rear master had a smaller wrap around balcony with beach and lagoon views I wasn’t expecting. A little aggravated with the smoke detectors-one started beeping overnight. I went and grabbed a couple 9v batteries to shut them up instead of waiting on maint. Perhaps get some kind of table top USB ports by beds for easier charging. And the half-ply TP is scary. :) But nice place right at the beach and a good stay.

  Nancy M from Grand Blanc, MI recommends this vacation rental

  Our vacation was wonderful. Loved the location of the property However, Not 100 percent if we will rent the same unit. It’s a bit overprice for the unit. It definitely needs some basic updates. New towels, mattress needs to be replaced, touch up painting etc. I dont mind paying for what you get but i feel it was not worth the price this year. We did have to contact maintenance once and they were at our door in 2 minutes and fixed the problem. Very impressive~

  We love going to GS every September with our church friends. Our rooms were beautiful and very clean. We were very disappointed with the beach rule of not using our tent/canopy (due to the beach erosion) so we are looking forward to next year without that restriction. We look forward to returning next year.

  a guest from MAGEE, MS does not recommend this vacation rental.

  Check in was easy we picked our packet up and went to the condo. But when arriving we had two Keyes that only one of them worked when we called they made us drive all the way back to the office to get the other key and they didn’t have staff that brought Keyes to the rental properties. NOT sure what condo they gave us a key too. Then one of our group had a family emergency which meant we had total of 3 cars that was not even option didn’t even offer alternate parking. They stated they were going to be full with guest however there were multiple spots available alllll weekend. She had to pay $75 just to park for our 3 nights we were there across the street. Then the security guard came to the door with in 45 min of us arriving stating we had to take a towel off of the balcony that was drying apparently watched like a hawk!! As well one of the girls was outside smoking security guard came out of his shack and came around side door to only sit on a couch right in side the door very oddly managed and creepy situation never said anything just sat but went on the side door so that he came from behind and not in the front door where she was sitting. HOUSE was VERY dusty on lamps and in between shelving. One of the king bedrooms the air conditioning was not very efficient they sweated down. But why call to report it when they can’t bring key out even. Mainly the issue was not with the condo itself but the the company per say.

  • Manager Responded on 8/3/2022

    We are not sure why a key could not have been taken to this guest but normally we are able to do that. It is possible we were short staffed in the office and she had to drive the 2 miles to get a key. While inconvenient, this is not something normal in our practice. Surf Side Shores has a 2 car parking limit, as do many of the condo buildings. There are no exceptions to that two car limit. The two car limit is known to guests from the time of booking. We do see you texted us and asked if you could bring a third car and we politely reminded you of the 2 car limit. Towels are not allowed to hang on balconies. Many vacation areas enforce this rule. We've heard nothing but great things about our security at Surf Side Shores. Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the property but we do know there is a couch inside the lobby. We do have a maintenance dept who is able to be dispatched with any issues, so we do wish the guest had reported the a/c. -Gulf Shores Rentals

  Excited to come back next year. We would not change a thing. Loved the condo, location and restaurants. I’m a neat freak. Condo was pretty clean and was grateful for the supplies that were available (paper towel, toilet paper, soap etc...)The tile floor was dirty and needed to be moped other then that I have no complaints. Thank you!!!

  Sylvia S from Ballwin, MO recommends this vacation rental

  We had a great stay. View from the balcony was great. The condo was very clean. We enjoyed our stay. Sofas and chairs could use some updating. Dresser in main bedroom is falling apart. The dryer has a high pitched noise that sounds like nails on a chalk board. We had to run it when we were gone. The place is great though. It’s very clean and you can’t beat the location. I would stay there again because of those two things. Easy and short distance beach access. Parking lot does flood with heavy ran.

  Beautiful view from the balcony. Rental company and experience were fantastic. So easy to work with. Condo could use some updating. Appliances were outdate and fridge did not keep things as cold as we would like. Dryer is very loud and squeeky. Furniture is run down, especially dresser handles in the main bedroom. Would still recommend, but saw other units in the building which were nicer.

  Scott R from Gulf Breeze, FL recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was in the perfect location, right on the beach. It was clean and each bedroom has it's own bathroom, which was great for us. My daughter did not have to share a bathroom with her brothers. As far as this being a rental for one week everything was very nice. However, if I were the owner there are a few things I would fix/upgrade. The toaster only worked on one side. The other side heated up so much it burned the bread instantly and set off the smoke alarm. The dryer and water heater both made horrible noises whenever they were being used, the dryer especially. All of these things I could live with for a week and were not deal breakers. The WiFi, though, is a different story. The unit is about 1,100 sq. feet but we only got the WiFi signal in the living room, not really in the bedrooms. The smart TV in the living room, even though it was about 10-12 feet away from the access point, kept dropping its connection every time we tried to stream something to watch. With two teenagers and a 21 year old along with me and my wife all having devices I found I got a better signal by just using the 5G network on my phone rather than trying to use to WiFi. Luckily, we spent most of our time in Gulf Shores on the beach or going out and the spotty internet connection was just an inconvenience and not a show stopper. Still, the other amenities and location made this a great vacation.

    Hello! Thank you so much for the review. We love hearing our guests were pleased with their stay. Since the units are individually owned, we will send all suggestions to the owners. Come back and stay with us again soon! The beach is waiting… -Gulf Shores Rentals

  a guest from Jonesboro, AR recommends this vacation rental

  Overall our experience was good. Due to COVID and an unfortunate event my daughter had the week before (in another condo in Orange Beach) with bed bugs, we brought our own cleaning supplies and cleaned the entire condo before bringing our belongings in. The cleanliness was good but not as clean as we would have hoped with COVID. Also, this condo was smaller than the one we stayed in 4 years ago (the other building). The owner should think of some ways to make this condo appear larger, not sure how but just input. Overall it was a great week, we had sunshine each day and no issues.

  • Manager Responded on 12/22/2020

    Thank you for posting your review. Let me say that we really appreciate you having the foresight to clean your belongings after having been exposed to bed bugs at another condo; bedbug infestations are a nightmare. Traveling during a pandemic can be challenging for rental properties if the expectation is a sterilized property due to the window between departures and arrivals but our housekeeping strives for excellence. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon.
