This property was perfect for our group of 6 girlfriends. It is plenty big and the extra 1/2 bath was perfect as we were all able to get ready in a timely manner!! The master bed was very comfortable and the dark out curtains were appreciated. My main suggestion would be for them to add dark out curtains to the other two bedrooms as the sun blared in those rooms by 7:00 each morning which is not good when on vacation!! I also would suggest that the property owners would provide more than 1 parking pass, especially in the low season. Our complex was not even 1/3 full last week, which we loved...but there were plenty of parking spots available on each floor. We were only provided 1 parking pass and had to purchase 3 more Which wasn’t cheap. That just seems like a nice amenity that could have been provided to us.
My only real complaint is with the check in process. The property management company for this condo, unbeknownst to us, is in Gulf Shores, which is a good 25-30 minutes from the condo. They require you to visit their office in Gulf Shores to pick up the keys which is a huge hassle. We had already driven 6 hours to get to the beach, and the office is in the opposite direction that we were going. I had a friend pick up the keys since she agreed to make the trip across town, but it is a huge inconvenience. They should update the locks to be a key-pad, provide the keyless entry code to the renters the day before. Keys are very outdated and though they should have been mailed to me in advance, this all could have been avoided if they would update their process and make it easier on the renters.
I can honestly say that the condo was great and the location perfect. The only beef I had with the whole trip was the check in AND the check out process. We had to again drive 30 minutes to gulf shores to return these keys at check out time when they should have been allowed to say on the counter at check out---which is what 99% of the properties do in OBA. I have never had to worry about this detail during my vacation before now.
