The fees for this condo dramatically increased our rates. This is a 4th floor condo - which isn't mentioned. We were not provided with any soap (dish, hand laundry) or trash bags. Other condo rentals we have stayed at provided these things - plenty of them. For the cost we could have stayed at a hotel and have had these things +breakfast provided. The couch and bedspreads were stained / dirty, decor was broken, pillows were torn and the room smelled like smoke when the neighbors would smoke. They advertise fresh paint - but we could see holes in the wall and ceiling repair patches. The pantry / cabinets were full of various kitchen items - which left little room for groceries. Thankfully we planned on eating out or we wouldn't have had room. People were loud at the pool well past the pool closing time. I tried calling the management company for assistance- they said they'd contact housekeeping about the soaps - we never heard back. They offered a repairman - but I am not sure how he would fix a majority of the issues - especially the cleanliness issues. The location was good - we were close to many attractions. The beach was nice, not super busy - we did have to cross a 4 lane highway to get there, but it wasn't terrible.
We thought this looked like a nice family friendly condo - but it was not comfortable and did not appear to be well kept. It was a little tight for our family of 4 ( 2 adults - 3 yr old and 6 yr old). I did like the bunk beds in the hall so we were close to the kids.
We enjoyed Gulf Shores, the beach and the local attractions - next time we will stay in a hotel or a different condo. The reviews for this one were very misleading.
