We checked in on a Saturday and the elevator situation was something to be desired. We waited for over 45 minutes to get on the elevator with everyone else checking in as well as the beach goers. Perhaps there could be staggered check ins. In addition when we prepared to cook for the first evening, the oven was not working. It had an error message. We attempted troubleshooting but was unsuccessful. We made due without it for that meal. We ended up unplugging it and it reset and worked for the next meal. Having everything in working order for the price we paid would be expected. I wouldn’t say that there was all the necessities to cook, but we did make it work. Found a pan under the stove when we pulled it out, otherwise we wouldn’t have had a pan either. Overall our experience was a good one!

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: Loved the condo, very spacious. 4 bathrooms was really nice too. The pools were great, we really loved the 21+ pool area and pickleball courts. Access to the beach was easy. BUT....everyone should know that the wait times for the elevators can be very long and very frustrating, especially on heavy check-in-check-out dates and every day around 4:30 when folks are coming in from the beach. The parking garage is only from 2nd floor to 12th floor, so any room above that means another elevator ride to your car, which again can be very frustrating (20+ minute waits). If we go back, a must have is a room on the 2nd-4th floor so that stairs can be an option.

General design of condo was great, served my family with kids/grandkids well. The dishwasher is gross and needs to be replaced…. Black mold on the cup holders, even after I washed it empty on high heat. Had to take quick showers because we would run out of hot water (6 of us, would sleep 10). Julia, our host, was very responsive, as much as she could. Front desk and gentleman who provided bandaids for my daughter in law was awesome! Kids loved lazy river! Good trip, condo good, not great…..

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Until was well furnished and the balcony views were amazing looking west of orange beach to gulf shores. However the water heater didn’t work and we had to take cold showers our first night. So we were delayed our first night. We fortunately had an electrician in our family and we had to reset the breaker inside of the water heater each day to get hot water. I hope it’s properly fixed for the future guests. The other problem was the elevators. They only had six for the whole property... so it is a 30-60 minute wait from high traffic times like 9-11am or 4-6pm. No exaggerations.. They split the beach space for people that rent chairs and those who bring their own equipment. So you’ll have to set up at 7am if you want a good spot by the water. Overall we rather stay in a less crowded area with less amenities to avoid fighting for an elevator or beach space.
