Communication

No communication!! We let you know that our washing machine did not work, water in tub did not work & toaster was broken. All we were told was We are working on getting a solution Is quickly as possible? Is there anything else we can help you with? This is the only communication we had with every issue. The rest of the stay was good. But lack of communication was very frustrating and ruined a lot for me. Sense 4 of us had to go out and buy clothes so that we could finish out our trip. We traveled flight expecting to be able to wash our clothes and we wear them.

Great Condo and Clean .... pool closed

We made the best of our stay and enjoyed the condo. Condo really met our expectation with amazing views from balcony. Very disappointed with the line of communication from building managers and property managers. Signs in elevators that pool was closed with prior notice to all property managers. We only were notified the day of check in that pool was closed by property management. According to the facility office they had given notice to all property managers well in advance. I would of not booked the condo with pool if I had been properly notified. Vacations are for kids to enjoy too and the pool is one of there favorite spots, they did not get to enjoy it any that week. No one from Vacasa would take any responsibility and denied being told in advance. They did discount my stay by 10%. I would have preferred being alerted in advance that way I could book somewhere else. I specifically wanted 4 rooms and a pool, this was not what I received. Either the property management is doing a very bad job communicating notices to guests or they are being purposely deceptive to not lose a booking. A lot of painting was going on and construction is going on next door. This was only a minor inconvenience. The crews did a good job limiting the inconvenience.

Perfect beachfront location

The condo is beautiful with plenty of space for everyone. The balcony had comfortable seating and a great view of the pier. The location was very nice since you are near everything in Gulf Shores and are a short drive away to Orange Beach.

Family vacation

Great place to vacation. Loved the location, pool was clean, parking was easy and safe, and security was the best!! Condo was the perfect size for our group. Our only complaint was the dryer didn’t dry the clothes. We notified Vacasa on Tuesday morning but it wasn’t repaired until Thursday. We will return for another vacation. Thank you!!

Very nice but lacking. Colonnades 1603.

The condo was great and the view spectacular. However we were shocked that there was no coffee filters, paper towels, trash bags, dish rags, Kleenex or extra toilet paper ( only the partial rolls on the holder. There was many light bulbs that were burned out and batteries in the remotes were dead. For a high end condo those things should have been supplied.

Da Boyz Golf Trip 2021

Property is as advertised. Clean, spacious, comfortable. Decor is a little outdated; but, totally functional. The bedding in the Master Suite didn't properly fit the King Bed. A Keurig type coffee maker option would be nice. At least 2 ply toilet tissue would be welcomed. The numbers on the front door keypad are difficult to read even in bright daylight and very tough at night. We would definitely stay there again in spite of my previous comments meant as suggestions not criticisms.

Womens retreat

The 4 bedrooms were beautiful, clean and a gorgeous view of the ocean from the balcony. Living area comfortable.. Extremely close to beach.. However, we were so looking forward to using the heated indoor pool and hot tub. There is no heated pool as displayed in pictures and the hot tub DID NOT work. Only 1 elevator was working. There were no cereal spoons, no pitcher, no pot holders and this resulted in 2 burns on my hand. Could have used a dish rag in kitchen, just had a sponge. No extra trash bags. The Teflon is all scratched off on skillets. The jacuzzi did not work in master bath, extremely disappointing. My top sheet had spots on it on 1 side. I didn't use. The light with fan in master room did Not come on. The carpet under dining room table is curled up and I have MS, I almost fell but was able to catch myself. I would suggest updating your pictures of the indoor pool. I was wanting to do my exercises in the heated pool, very discouraged. I feel I was only getting a part of what we were promised. We loved the area but would have liked these needs met. Could we get a credit for a future trip due to the false advertising? Thanks

Beautiful view

We loved the view from the balcony the morning red sky was beautiful to look at while sipping coffee and everyone hanging out at night listening to the ocean waves was so peaceful. The condo is beautiful and it was great to have all the bedrooms/bathroom for each couple to have their privacy.

Nothing special

I guess I should have realized my mistake when this unit was still available. It was not the rental experience that was the problem, but everything at the property itself. I thought wrong when I assumed parking would be simple, (4 bedroom condo, only 2 parking passes? And no help from anyone to remedy situation. Vacasa eventually offered “overflow” parking at there office, 15 min drive without traffic). I kinda felt like an Uber driver the first day, without tips. The ironic thing is that the parking lot about half full the whole week, but enough about that. The elevator situation, 2 elevators with 1 working, typical beach condo engineer screw up but not put into the information page. Inside the unit itself, nice location on the 16th floor but need much improvement on the cleaning, this is not a hotel with sheets changes only, a clean mop now and then will do wonders. For what these owners are charging they should be ashamed for the quality of their unit. If VRBO is looking for a review of their “rental experience” they really should look at the total experience not just where the credit card information is submitted.

Vacation 2021

Great views, great beds and nicely stocked kitchen essentials. The unit itself is very spacious and nicely decorated. However, only 1 working elevator this week. The master bathroom urgently needs a plumber unless you enjoy sticking your hand in the commode tank to manually flush it, every time. We contacted the company on the 2nd day of our week to try to resolve this and initially they were interested but by mid week there were no further responses and no repaired plumbing.
