The rooms were amazing and perfectly layed out. It over exceeded my expectations
Took a trip with friends for fall break and it was the perfect place and location. Only have to be 21 to rent which was one of the reasons we chose to stay here. Highly recommend as it’s on the beach and close to most restaurants.

Condo was nice, a little outdated , beds were uncomfortable, could feel the springs, showers dis not have good strength with poor shower heads, dryer that did not work well at all, maintenance never came back to fix shower mold issues. TVs were blurry and signal did not work all the time. Other than that, nice view, && spacious for the family .
The Bluewater building itself was very clean inside and and out. The location is very convenient to shops. Our condo had a beautiful view of the gulf and a large balcony. The condo was large and spacious however the carpet in the bedrooms needs to be replaced. I will stay there again.
Stayed at this condominium with a group of 9 buddies for spring break. Had an absolute blast and loved the amount of sleeping areas given the relatively small size of the unit. Only complaint was that some of the furniture was very cheap/fragile and some of the appliances did not work. Dryer did not work which was very inconvenient the whole trip

Loved the condo. Great location, clean and convenient. If have small children (toddlers) you have to be watchful the door can be easily opened from inside - not child safe. We put things in front of it so she couldn't get it open during the night.

The location is excellent but as far as condos in orange beach go it’s an average place. Could really use a deep cleaning. It has the bare minimum on kitchen utensils. Ice maker didn’t work we just bought a bag and let condo rental company know on departure. Some of the furniture is in rough shape as I see noted in past reviews.

Reviewer Comments:
My gr j grandkids voted for a beach vacation this year instead of our traditional Smoky Mountain adventure. My son suggested Orange Beach since it was a much shorter drive than other places. We stayed in Bluewater Resorts on Perdido Beach Blvd. the accommodations were fabulous and access to the beach was ecerything it was advertised to be. There was a youth group from Texas staying at Bluewater also. They had 24 condos. The condos are well insulated; we never heard any of them until we went outside. The inside and outside pools were very nice in the middle of the day when it was too hot on the beach. We were there seven days and ate out only three times. Everything we needed Tom prepare meals at the condo was there. Highly recommended
The area is great! The condo itself being on the 14th floor did not take away from the view. The balcony is pretty large fit comfortably out there with 9 of us. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable as well as livingroom furniture. Plug ins outside are unique in that the switch by the master controls the power to it and the plug in by the TV. Also the A/C has an auto shutoff after a few minutes if the sliding doors are not shut. Access to dollar general and souvenir shopping is across the street which is very convenient. Pools were nice and usually not busy the beach was never really crowded since it wasn’t close to Public access. Be sure to keep starter for TP, trash bags, dishwasher tabs is for when you get there you must shop or bring your things by the end of the day. Kitchen is stocked with silverware, cutting knives, and various cooking utensils. They also have towels and place setting for 8 so if there are more get plates. We stayed at the condo for 4th of July and although we couldn’t see the fireworks from where we were, they had several people shooting off fireworks fight on the beach. Overall we had a great time and would return. Not sure about the PLAY AND STAY. was kind of expecting to have info in the welcome packet they had for me when I enter the condo so May want to ask after booking. All in all we loved it!

Reviewer Comments:
This condo is filthy. There was built up dirt and grime in every corner, there was mold growing underneath the sink on the rotted out cabinet in the bathroom, the carpet was matted down and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a decade. The patio has two separate entrances- living room and a bedroom and the living room doors would not budget with an ex football player trying to pry them open. Management came out and said they had to hire an outside vendor to fix but after threatening a bad review they finally came out on our last day to fix it. The microwave worked occasionally, the toaster caught fire and could not be used, the fridge didn't keep our food cold, the vacuum was broken, the outdoor furniture has so much rust it comes off on your clothes. I spent so much on this vacation for my family and this condo experience ruined it. If I could rate this property a 0 I would.

Close to beach
2nd stay at this building, different condo. We like this place for the closeness to the beach. We rent chairs and umbrella.
The person responsible for cleaning needs to be changed. The bed I slept in did not have the correct size fitted sheet and did not fit over the mattress. They left it like that and made the bed. Could not locate other fitted sheet to fit. Feet got hung up in the sheet.
Found popcorn on the couch when we arrived. Found child's sticker book under TV stand which proves they are not cleaning well. I dropped item under bed in the bedroom with 2 beds. The carpet smelled bad. Has stains on the carpet. Needs to be removed and replaced with the nice wood looking tile in the rest of the condo. There was mold on the inside of the shower liner. The toilet in the master would run if you didn't jingle the handle. Dryer does not work on minutes setting. Need larger coffee cups!!
The wood tile flooring is very nice.
Furniture is comfortable.

Reviewer Comments:
The location of the condo is great and convenient to everything. I love the tile and the kitchen setup. The view was AMAZING!!! I loved the 2 options of an indoor pool as well as an outdoor pool. There were a few rainy days, so the indoor pool was a lifesaver after a day at the beach and we still wanted time for the kids to play. However, there are a few things that need to be addressed in the condo. The shower curtains need to be replaced as they have mold/mildew on them. 2 of the chairs on the balcony need to be removed or repaired, they are broken, torn, and rusty. The dryer only works on the "sensor dry" setting, so a note needs to be posted regarding this, so renters do not have to call maintenance for a simple solution like this. The toilet in the master bedroom runs if you do not make sure the handle is pushed all the way to the top after flushing. The water in the tank refills slowly and that is what causes the toilet to run as the bulb in the tank takes a while to get back to the proper height. The papasan chair in the living room needs to be replaced as it is very worn. On Checkout day our code to enter the condo stopped working, even though we had until 10am to check out. After talking with the office and trying 3 different codes, the maintenance man was able to get us back in the room after about 15 minutes when we used the code he provided. The hot tub in the indoor pool area was not working at all, some other renters I believe called it in and someone started working on it on the day we checked out.

Condo was in poor shape. Drywall had several holes and lots of other damage throughout. Needs holes fixed and the whole thing needs painting. Trimwork very dirty. Slider and windows from living room to deck are cloudy with moisture inside and hard to see through. Carpet in the three bedrooms is filty. Ice maker broken. The kitchen was mostly well stocked but only had 4 spoons and 2 very small coffee cups. Washing machine extremely loud. Would not rent this condo again. The hottub was broken too. Disappointed about that.

The ice maker made mini cubes. It half worked. Have of the electrical outlets worked. The last day the outlets in master bedroom all quit working. One of the bar stools was missing hardware so the seat was not attached to the frame. The furniture was not modern. The location was great. The beach was great.
The condo was in a good location. Being on the 14th floor the elevators were quick and both were working which was a big plus. The keyless entry was very helpful. There were a few things with the room that needs to be fixed. The doors to the washer and dryer did not work property. The utensil drawer kept falling apart. The room was overall clean and the beds were very comfortable.

Reviewer Comments:
Check in was easy. The condo was in a good location. The condo needed some work, such as ice machine was making small amounts of ice. The bed mattress were too soft. The dryer knob had only one setting. The Wifi connection was too slow. The TV's asked for a Amazon code that was not supplied to us. The bi-fold doors surrounding the washer and dryer needs to be adjusted. It could use a new coat of paint throughout the condo. It could use a new toaster, the old one does not pop up the waffles sometimes. All in all, this condo needs a lot of general maintenance to make it a real nice place on the beach. Thanks a lot and Stay safe.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our first stay at Bluewater, and we had a wonderful week on the beach! The location was convenient to shopping and restaurants, and it was a short walk to the surf. The unit (1403) was clean but was showing a bit of wear around the walls and doors. The kitchen had a recent upgrade with granite countertops, but was sparsely stocked with utensils and cookware. The bedrooms were a good size and the beds were comfortable. The keyless code door was much easier for the family to use than keys or keycards. The best part is that with a smaller condo building you have fewer guests, so no issues with the elevators or getting a good spot on the beach. The pools were smaller than most but with fewer guests it wasn't an issue. We talked to others who had cleanliness issues with their units when they arrived, but they were not booked through GSR. We noticed a range of rental agencies were used in this building, and which rental agency made a big difference in the overall experience. We have been happy with GSR and will use them again.
It was right next to a Walmart and dollar store which comes in handy when you forgot something or need to get something fast. We had a blast and hope to be back!
I loved the location and convenience to everything. The view from the balcony was AMAZING! However, there are items in the condo that need replacing or repaired. The shower curtains have mildew/mold on them. 2 of the chairs on the balcony need to be removed as they are broken, torn and rusty. The papasan chair in the living room needs the cushions replaced as they are worn. The toilet in the master bathroom runs after flushing, if you do not make sure the handle is pushed all the way up. The water refills slowing in the tank, so the bulb takes a while to return to the starting position. The water in the shower for the 2nd bathroom does not get hot. It gets really hot in the sink, but not the tub, very weird as you would think the plumbing is coming from the same location. The dryer only works on the "sensor dry" setting, so a note with this information on it would be helpful and not have the renters calling for a simple issue that can be fixed with just a bit of communication. I love the 2 pool options because we did have some rainy weather, so the indoor pool was a lifesaver. However, the spa was not working, so that needs to be addressed, but I think another renter in the building may have reported it, because we saw someone working on the spa as we were checking out. We had an issue where our code stopped working as we were taking things to the car during checkout and after working with the office trying new codes, the maintenance guy called us with a code the finally worked after 15 minutes.

Memorial Day weekend
This was a nice family weekend. The property is being repaired/repainted but was overall just fine. There is still lots of glass at the end of the boardwalk from blown out windows from previous storms. You cannot hear all the construction going on around you from this unit which was nice.
The unit seems to be being updated. It was clean on arrival. The floors, counters, cabinets and appliances are all new and working good, except for washer. A/C was good. Beds were all comfortable. The balcony is great!
-The door handle going out the condo had loose screws
-The balcony door has an aluminum track that is loose and sticks up very high that we all tripped over multiple times
-The guest closet has a broken shelf
-Guest bathroom does not have a light covering above shower just open exposed can light with a light bulb.
-This is a 3 bedroom condo that sleeps 8 comfortably in beds however the kitchen had 3 coffee cups..
-The balcony furniture was half broken/torn seats
-Master bathroom the toilet was not secured to the floor. Maintenance came out and fixed this issue very timely and on a holiday.
-The washer only works for “speed” wash setting
-The living room TV only has antenna channels unless you have a login for various apps which was very frustrating
-The kitchen barstools are not very secure to their seats
-Multiple plugs not working regardless if you turn on light switches
Would recommend this condo for weekend trips
