Spring Break for Grandson

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location excellent, gulf view excellent, condo very roomy. Will definitely stay here again. Wished the weather was better, but March is hit and miss. The TV in the 2nd bedroom did not work, but we didn't come to watch tv, and some of the electrical outlets were loose.

Spring Break Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great, we woke up to the waves every morning with coffee on the balcony! We were close to food and fun! The unit was cleaned up, but was not in good shape. Tiles broken, you could see under the cabinets in kitchen, mold around the showers, outlets unable to be used on one wall due to faulty connection, doors being painted during our stay. It could definitely use some maintenance when no one is staying in the unit. Although most of these things weren't a dealbreaker for us, they may be for someone else so wanted the voice them. We did enjoy the beach gear in the balcony closet, it really helped us out from having to go purchase our own! All in all, it was a good place to lay our heads after fun times at the beach. We would stay here again after a little maintenance. If you're planning to spend a lot of time in the unit and needing functionality, I would choose differently. If you're looking for a homey vibe and a place to sleep only, this would be an ok choice.

Never disappoints!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed in this unit 3 or 4 times now over the last couple of years. It is not perfect but it is clean and cozy. The location is fantastic and Gulf Shores Rentals is super responsive via text or phone. We had a small maintenance issue with a bathtub but it was remedied within a couple hours of being reported. The only real complaint we have is that the satellite remote control was missing so we had to watch football in the bedrooms. A minor inconvenience though. We will definitely be back to Gulf Shores and will most likely stay in this unit that suits our family of 6 well.

needs some attention

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great view from the balcony, wonderful location, plenty of space, overall a delight. But the condo was a little tired looking and could use a little attention to detail. Only 2 garbage bags for a 3 bedroom condo housing 5 adults, 1 blow dryer, 1 roll of paper towels and no coffee filters. Kitchen pots and pans were sparse. Carpet in bedrooms was stiff and worn. Though we loved being there and are grateful for the space, if we choose this same condo next year, we would plan to bring more of the basics we would have expected to be there. also some of the kitchen utensils needed to be washed before using them.

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. The outdoor pool was heated and I loved the built in seating in the deep end. Short walk to the beach and the view was amazing. The beds were a little firm for my taste but not uncomfortable and the Jacuzzi tub was a pain to fill because only the shower head would run water but keep the curtain closed and the mess wasnt to bad. Overall the unit was comfortable and my family really enjoyed ourselves would absolutely book again!

Exactly as described

The location was perfect. Being right on the beach was awesome! We drank coffee on the balcony every morning and enjoyed the sunrise. Checkin was super easy and we had no problem getting a parking pass late at night when we arrived. The 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were great for our family of teens. It was important that we had that many bathrooms. The condo could definitely use a refresh, but it was so functional for our group that we didn’t mind the older look of the place. We ignored the crooked countertops and cupboard doors and other issues with the kitchen. The location made up for it. Make sure you bring everything you need for your stay. They only provide about 2 days worth of paper products. The kitchen could use some cereal bowls and wine glasses too. Make sure to bring your own. Read the fine print of what exactly is included. I was very happy that I had brought my own spices and condiments. Don’t forget beach stuff, tide pods, dishwasher tabs, garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. There is a Walmart 10 mins away if you forgot anything.

Condo is very tired!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place needs an overhaul....flooring, woodwork, paint, furniture. It felt dirty! The only good thing going for it was the view. Property management was attentive when needed but they should have disclosed that parking is $30 per car. The pictures on the listing don’t show the poor condition that the condo is in which is why I think it is important to write this review.

Great beach front condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great experience with the rental company! They were super responsive and helpful. The condo itself could use some upkeep, but that did not hinder our experience. It’s a perfect location and beautiful views. There were some broken blinds, but maintenance came and changed quickly. There are large, white patches on the walls that need painted. The kitchen could use some updating. The stove is not level and had gaps around it and the counter. The utensils need to be gone through and updated. It was great to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Overall a great stay and would stay again. The condo itself just needs some updating and TLC.

Ocean House 1906

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo unit was slightly below average. A few complaints. First, this condo requires you to buy a $30 parking pass to park your car after you have already spent the money to stay. I find this egregious. Now, onto the actual unit itself. As far as space and rooms I was happy with the size of the unit. However, there were numerous places that needed to be addressed. There were many places that needed painted and touched up. Several blinds were in need of being replaced. The unit had several places that looked like an amateur handyman had tried to repair issues. Very shabby. Another complaint, the unit is opened by a physical key that if you lose there is a $50 replacement cost. Seems like a money grab. What not just update the lock to a keypad like 90% of the units there. Now to the positives. The condo location was convenient. They offered ice onsite for $4 a bag. The pool was nice for kids as it was zero entry on two sides.Overall, the condo was acceptable just don’t have high expectations on the aesthetics of the unit. Of all the units I have been in, this one needed the most work visually I have been in. However, it served a purpose adequately.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Super easy to rent through. Great location and view. Not on a busy street. Loved how close we were to the beach. We are thinking about booking again for the spring! My only negative comment is the blinds in one of the bedrooms, a few were missing causing the room to get very bright as soon as daylight hits. My son would wake up super early.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve always stayed at Ocean House the last two years and we love it.I know it may be an older building , but 1906 was dirty, needs some work done to it. The sheets were put on upside down a d were stained. The plugs were loose in the wall. It’s a great location, but just needs some fixing up some.

Review of our stay at ocean House.

We had a great time on our vacation. The condo was as described. I only have a few complaints, the shower in the master bathroom does not work. The air conditioner is not as cool in the master bedroom as it is in bedroom #1. The price that we paid for the cleaning fee. I feel like it could have been cleaned better. Thanks for a great time.

Could be a great place with TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo could be a beauty if the owner would fix the issues, have it properly cleaned and just a few updates. We were told by maintenance that we should just use the other showers that we had when the one in main bath didn't work, so we didn't even try to have them fix the other issues of doors that didn't work well and leaked air badly etc

Needs updating. Could be very nice but needs lots of TLC!

Condo could be very nice but needs a lot of TLC. A good coat of paint throughout would help. Beds were very uncomfortable. Blinds were missing in the bedrooms. I saw a complaint about the blinds from another review and called the rental agency to see if this had been fixed. They assured me it was…..it wasn’t. Condo wasn’t thoroughly cleaned prior to our arrival either. There were food crumbs under the table. Would not recommend this condo.

Good but not so good

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is amazing as it has been for the last 6 years we have stayed at Oceanhouse in Gulf Shores. The view from the 9th floor was beautiful. The condo this time was a little less than amazing but okay. The first morning there we discovered the fridge wasn't cooling our groceries much at all. I sent a note and a repair guy came that same day. He said the fridge was done and they would be putting in a new one. When we came back to the room later there was two coolers each with one bag of ice for us to put our groceries in until the new fridge was installed. I assumed the new one would be installed the next day well was I wrong. I had to send another note and then it was put in. The guy asked when we were leaving we said Friday he said I will be back then to finish putting on the handles etc. We went three days without a working fridge this is not acceptable. I will say I appreciate the new fridge for the one day we got to enjoy it.

Great location & roomy.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was probably the shortest walk to beach we’ve ever had-loved it. Just a few drawbacks though. One bedroom was not furnished as noted on website. The queen bedroom actually had two double beds & trundle, which worked for us, but may not for someone. Condo needs some TLC. Furnishings were nice enough. Baths & kitchen needs some updating. Blinds in master, facing the ocean, were missing half the slats-may as well not been there. Shower in master, facing the street, had a shower added to a garden tub. It was like standing under a regular faucet. The condo needed a good scrubbing. None of these things kept us from having a good vacation. It wouldn’t take much time or money to correct these things to make this condo great. PS Not a potholder in the kitchen.
