Here again

We have rented this house several times. Great location. The property has totally gone downhill. There is an electrical issue that the entire 3rd floor had no lights or outlets. There was a bathroom that the toilet was broken. There were both live and dead cockroaches. There are mice in the walls that woke the kids. I messaged the owner. The electrical was tried to be fixed, but was not. My further messages with the owner were not answered. This home is expensive, but we will not stay there again. I am very disappointed in the neglect of this property. But also disappointed that this is our family vacation that was affected.

Very nice property that accommodated all nineteen of us comfortably. Upon arrival temperature was 50 degrees and took quite some time to warm up. Some of the pots and pans had not been cleaned. A few areas in corners of bathrooms had cobwebs.setwer

Roomy and Pretty

The house was large enough for 20+ family Thanksgiving celebration. Decor was nice, could use new mattress for 2nd floor King room. Cooking utensils were adequate. Loved that food items like seasongs were available. Thanks to whoever left the Taco seasoning, I forgot mine. Hope next person enjoy items I left Splurge and pay elevator fee, your knees will thank you. Cleaning crew could do better, baby pacifier and tube of gel was found between headboard and mattress. Overall, the house and location was perfect

Great Bama Bash!

Our group was large (26) and the house fit us all and then some! It was was equipped for a group of our size. The two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two washer/dryers and ice makers were perfect. We all loved having our own bathrooms too! The pool was just steps away and it was awesome that we could feed one child upstairs while still having eyes on a child in the pool. Our boys loved the grassy area out back and played endless hours of wiffle ball. The beach was an easy two minute walk. It was not hard to find a spot on the beautiful white sand. We enjoyed the volleyball net too! It was a wonderfully appointed house. The wifi and televisions were spotty but we didn't mind because we wanted to enjoy being at the beach. The surrounding area was awesome too. Grocery shopping was close and would deliver if needed. DoorDash and UberEats also. Highly recommend visiting FloraBama on the Florida-Alabama line. The night life is not for children but during the day they have BINGO>

June vacation mixed reviews

The location of this property is fantastic and we really enjoyed the large porch with ocean and pool views, the pool and the proximity to the beautiful beach. The house itself was once a gem, however it is now filthy and poorly maintained. The week kicked off with the primary bathroom shower being fully clogged with sand. Cleaning crew reported it and we received NO update from the property manager at all. Next day I started calling for updates and it was two days before I received a gruff voicemail stating “call me”. No pertinent update for me on the vm. My son in law finally took a kitchen knife and was able to clear the sand himself. The grill was solid filth and grease inside and out. I used an all purpose cleaner to make the outside clean enough to use, and we burned off the grease inside. It was very disgusting - Renters - show some courtesy and leave the grill clean enough for the next group! Mid week the cockroaches appeared which terrified my middle grandson. Bedroom storage is extremely lacking and there were very few hangers even in the closets. Many of the beds were shot. There was no rug in the lower entry to catch the sand and the house has an outdoor shower however it was full of trash and garbage. This house should have been a five star - its sad that it is in the shape it’s in. It needs to be taken out of service and cleaned top to bottom, bugs removed, and bedroom furnishings improved for the price they are charging.

Exceeded our expectations!

We had an absolutely wonderful family vacation in this beautiful house. Five families with a total of 21 people, and we had plenty of room. The pool and beach are just steps from the house, and there are thoughtful amenities throughout the house and property. Would suggest clearer directions for the Smart TV's (you will need to access your own apps such as Netflix, etc.) Best vacation ever! We highly recommend this awesome house!

Great Family Vacation

We just returned from a great week in Orange Beach. This house was fantastic for our group of 12 with PLENTY of room for everyone. Highlights include top floor bunk room with attached bathroom and TV room that was perfect for our teens, perfect location overlooking pool with views of the ocean, and easy walk to the beach. This house is on the quieter end of Orange Beach, which was great for not feeling crowded on the beach, but still close enough that we were to restaurants and grocery stores in less than 5 minutes. Although previous reviews mentioned no Keurig or blender both were in the kitchen when we arrived. Our only recommendations for improvement would be to replace some of the pots/pans in the kitchen and the 2nd floor master bath shower is slow to drain. It truly was the best week and we hope to return again in the future!

Spring break

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house. This is our second year at the same location and we came back because we love the access to the beach. This house in particular was very well stocked in the kitchen with spices and Ziploc bags, etc. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back.

FAMILY BEACH TRIP July 15-22, 2023

This was our third year to stay in this house. It has always been a favorite of our family because it is spacious and provides plenty of room. However, this year we were very disappointed with the overall cleanliness of the home. There was sand left on the floors in many of the bedrooms and the main porch needed a good power wash (lots of stains). Grill was left dirty. The main refrigerator had shelves missing and broken drawers, many of the dishes were chipped (cups & plates) and there were only a few cereal bowls left. Pots and pans definitely need an upgrade! There was a base for a blender but no top container - we did buy a blender that we left for others to use. Mattresses in several rooms could use an upgrade. Again, we hate to leave a negative review because this house has been the site of many great memories for our family BUT we felt that a refresh is definitely needed. The positives are that this is a nice home for large families in a wonderful neighborhood, great location and easy access to the beach, beautiful pool area and close to grocery shopping and nice restaurants. Hoping that improvements will be made so everyone will continue to enjoy this beach home.

Book With Caution!

This was an eleven person family vacation. Upon arriving at 5:00p (an hour after the allowed check in time), we pull into the driveway and notice a vehicle already parked in the designated parking area. Immediately we're thinking OH NO! This place is double booked! We enter the home to find out what's going on and find the cleaner in the middle of cleaning the property. We were then told by the cleaner that she was not aware that there was a check in that day. We attempt to reach out to the property manager but get no response. After multiple voicemails, texts, calls, and a chat with VRBO we finally get a call back over an hour later from the property manager. We explain the issue and the HUGE inconvenience, only to be asked, "Well what do you want?" (regarding our request for something to be done about the inconvenience). We made suggestions of what could be done to assist us in this inconvenience. She said, "Let me call you back". We NEVER received a call back with any kind of apology or offers to make the horrible check in experience any better. So we waited over an hour to allow the cleaner to finish and FINALLY got settled. Pros:Nice, spacious home for everyone to have their own bedroom and bathroom, Nice balcony off of the kitchen / living area to relax and eat, Very nice kitchen with upgraded appliances and gas stove Cons:Horrible check in process, Horrible communication with the property manager, No cable / Remotes with no batteries, NOT a BEACH FRONT property!

Amazing location and property.

There were 15 of us. We had a wonderful time at this property and location. The pool was very nice for our kids. The beach is easy access within the development. The beach and sand are beautiful. Bedrooms and bathrooms were extremely nice. The master is very well done. Kitchen pots and pans could be replaced. (Unfortunately people don’t take care of them) Cell and internet service is spotty. Though we were not there to be on our phones. Overall great property, and the owner was very helpful and very accessible. We hope to return to this property and location.

We had a large group of 22, 10 adults and 12 teens. This home is so large and accommodating! The top floor with the bunk beds, full bath and tv area was perfect for all the teen boys! It's BEAUTIFULLY decorated and supplied with everything you need. There was plenty of parking and the elevator was so nice for transporting luggage. beach is an easy short walk and the community grounds are beautiful. Would definitely stay here again!
