Poor Conditions

This property should not be rented again until the master bed is fixed you can’t sleep on it makes to much noise. The balconies are closed the pool is closed and you can’t use the fitness room. The furniture is in horrible condition. Chairs are broke and the light out side the door shines in the one room all might. I could say more but I won’t.

Exceptional Rental!

Beautiful rental unit with classy decor. Extremely clean. Unit is updated and has nice appliances. The Vacasa app was very helpful and it was great to have a keypad so we didn’t have to deal with picking up keys or passing keys around the family. Wonderful facility with a very clean pool and nice beach right outside. 9.5/10.

Great Place for a Large Family

This place was extremely spacious and had all the amenities we need as a family of 6. There was plenty of privacy and enough room for everyone to be together for meals, TV, or on the balcony. My only complaints are minor. The master bedroom box springs is broken. We couldn’t move in the bed without it waking everyone up it was so loud. The shower heads in the master bath are falling apart and the jacuzzi tub doesn’t work. The rest of the amenities were great. The beach access is awesome. The location is away from all the crowds.

Good place to stay.

Our family loved this place. A few things need replaced.....doorbell, master bedroom mattress, kitchen chair & finish the paint job. The refrigerator was apparently messing up an a guy came to fix it but just helped himself right in, which we didnt like. We had small children & young girls....couldve became a big issue. No phone call, email or message about it either. Overall nice place.

Nice unit, well done except the kitchen was minimally stocked (4 glasses only) and lacking a lot of basics. The washer was totally unusable and had previous complaints. The front door lock did not function well.

Family Reunion

Vacasa was super accommodating. Somebody responded promptly every time I texted, prior to trip and during. The unit was very spacious for our 10 adults and 2 babies, off and on all week. The only negative things I'll add are that there are only 6 chairs at the dining table and 2 bar chairs. 🤔 Would have appreciated some plastic bowls with lids to store leftovers. There was only one small bowl. The sleeper sofa was worse than most sleepers. So uncomfortable that it couldn't be slept on. Overall though, it is a very nice unit! Management was great! Oh, I was told prior to arrival that no additional parking passes beyond the 2 per unit, were allowed and couldn't even be purchased. When we arrived, we were offered to purchase an additional parking pass for $50. Angie, the parking attendant, was very friendly and informative. Was a nice welcome.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY

Absolutely loved the place! We would definitely stay here again, the place was clean and if we had any questions the property manager was also very prompt at getting back to us. Check in and check out was the simplest I’ve ever experienced.

This home was super nice. We only had minor issues and they were here in no time to assist. (rental company). We got to meet the rep for the property and she was super helpful and so sweet. Everything in this home is beautiful. The view is from the balcony and the master bed is EVERYTHING!

Gulf Shores Highrise

Our unit was just as pictured - 4 bd & 4 ba on 19th floor. Enjoyed being on a high floor this trip ... great view in several directions. The pool was empty. Still not fixed/redone since Hurricane Ida. Work being done on and around The Colonnades bldg. Beware of noise factor: a New "Phoenix" apt. building is in the early stages of being built directly next door.

Family vacation

We drove 12 hours and were met by a mean employee named Angie at the elevator who was yelling at everyone coming inside. A terrible way to be welcomed. Trouble with our parking! Was yelled at by Angie again. ( the guard) Our lamp was broken, the coffee pot was filthy dirty brown, toilet paper holder hanging of the wall, six lights burned out, laundry light burned out, pitch dark, broken chair in patio, sheets dirty on one bed, stains on comforter, no baking sheets. Maintenance showed up the day before we had to leave. Dining room wall was not finished being painted. The worst thing was Angie, the guard who was never there in the parking lot. We were told to talk to her and could never find her. When we finally did, she talked down to us and was very mean! We will never go back!
