Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: In regards to our visit Oct 25-29; 2023, I have never given a review on any place I have stayed. We have been coming coming to Gulf Shores for 60 years. We have stayed in most of the condos and several houses. I have never been in such dirty place as Lotus Blossom. The unit smelled horrible. The refrigerator had been turned off and had a real bad order. We had to buy cleaning supplies to get rid of the smell. The ice maker did not work. The bottom had standing water that would not drain. This also had a bad oder. We had a party of seven and there was not enough silver ware and cooking utensils for all of us. We had to purchase plastic ware. All the utensils had to be washed because they were sticky and dirty. The coffee pot under the cabinet still had old coffee in it. The furniture needs to be updated. It looked like it was picked up from the side of the road. The beds were very uncomfortable and small. Pillows were hard. There was only thin quilts on the beds. The carpet was extremely dirty. Dust was all over the ceiling fans and the air conditioning unit was full of black dirt or mold. The doors also had black dirt or mold on them. I don’t think we should have paid a cleaning fee when we cleaned it ourself! It as a lot cleaner after we left. I think the property manager should check behind the cleaners. The owners need to sell or do a make over. The only good thing was the location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: Where the house is located you absolutely cant beat it. It literally is steps away from the beach, I've stayed in many houses over the past 15 years for fall break and this home is the closest we have found. Although the spot for the home is perfect, the house needs some work and updating... It was almost like the owners aren't putting anything back into house to make it "homey". We always feel like we are at home and this round we didn't. The flat screen was hung in the living room and the way its positioned you cant even watch it sitting on the furniture. Kinda odd...The floors in kitchen are a beautiful tile but since the house shifts with the wind I'm assuming is why it doesn't stay down correctly and when you walk on it if you aren't careful you will cut your feet in certain places in that area. I had read in other reviews that the house literally moves... It does!!! It is one of those things you have to see to believe and it is quite creepy to be laying in bed and feel your bed moving because the wind is blowing... We got used to it after a few nights and it was fine but it seems dangerous. The kitchen could definitely use some love, there wasn't much to choose from when it came down to cooking. We always cook a couple meals while we are on vacation and it was lacking some of the things we needed. My biggest problem with the house... It was only cleanISH when we got there. The floors were clean but I always go though the drawers and stuff making sure no one left anything anywhere (bc we have 4 kiddos) and look under the beds... I found used plates in the dresser, water bottles, cups with something growing in whatever was being drank in night stands... It was kind of gross! We always try and leave the house the way we found it .... But I've never had to clean it when I arrived.... The management company was great and easy to work with, we will definitely use them in the future. With some updating we would stay here again because its so close to beach!

Amazing beach access. Spacious home, great location. Very minimal kitchen accessories though, not even salt and pepper. All of the beds upstairs were very uncomfortable. Most of us ended up sleeping on the floor or the couch cushions. If the mattresses are replaced/updated then we would definitely book here again.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Dirty, house swayed, kitchen and bathroom faucets leaked,beds were very uncomfortable, ice maker didn’t work in fridge my husband had to repair, oven smelled awful! Guests from across the street came over very early in the a.m and took all the best beach spaces in front of the house. We had to walk down the beach to get a spot Stairs from den way too steep. Fall hazard! Only thing good was great AC and washer/dryer. Won’t rent again.

1969 is more than just an address, it’s also the motif of the house. Old. Dated. Shocking since it was built in the 90’s. Six week later Laura B’s feedback is still relevant. The homeowner does not seem interested in the suggestions the property management company is making. The cons: The kitchen is minimally stocked at best, no sponge, no salt & pepper. The house rocks in the wind, it feels scarier than it actually is structurally, but it’s a fairly easy fix. The metal straps under the house are all heavily rusted, this house would not be save in severe weather. The windows do not open, they actually have old notes written on them, so it’s not a new problem. The blinds do not have stings to go up & be able to have a clear view of the ocean from the master. The windows are very dirty/dated & they have some kind of film over them. The only light in the master bedroom is the lamp on the nightstand. The lights in the fan do not work. The TVs are very dated - think big box (our kids didn’t know what they were), it would be better to have one nice TV in the living room & none in the bedrooms. While sweeping the deck I found a raiser blade. Pros: the management company was very responsive. We needed help with a drain in the shower & they came same day. The location is legit, perfect to get to town & great for the kids with the beach. If you have feral kids, like we do, there is very little your kids could do to this place that would be noticeable.

Lotus Blossom was the perfect spot for our family vacation with 6 adults and 4 small children. The location is very convenient to everything, yet just far enough from the very busy areas with the condos. The beach was much less crowded, and that made it more enjoyable for us, especially with young children. The short distance from the house to the beach was a pleasant surprise! We have stayed in many other houses in that area, and this one was the closest for hauling all of our stuff to the beach. The queen bed in the bunkroom and the queen bed in the bedroom without a bath upstairs would be better if the mattresses were thicker, like the one in the front bedroom upstairs. A king sized bed would be ideal in one of the bedrooms also, but overall, we were happy with the house, and really enjoyed our week there. We would rent this property again.

Location is great. Bunk beds need mattresses-no one would sleep on them. Adequate kitchen-but need that large pot for spaghetti / shrimp. A few improvements outside (fence) would approve appearance. We did get deck chairs delivered while there. There are no chairs on upper deck. Would rent again but would expect improvements over this stay

We had a fantastic time at the Lotus Blossom. The house was clean & comfortable. The location was fabulous, directly on the beach. We had read reviews so we knew to bring our own chairs for the deck area & beach. It was perfect for our family and we hope to return soon.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: The good - right on the beach and the perfect number of bedrooms for a small family. The bad - no suitable outside seating - four chairs and we fell through 2 and then were scared to use anymore. No hotpads, very few cooking utensils, old outdated decor, exposed and old seals around sinks, terrible beds where you could feel all the springs in the mattresses, exterior rough, fence needs repair, no concrete driveway, nonworking ice maker.
