Fix your parking issue.

Over all we had a great vacation. But here are a few things that need to be addressed. The AC in the main bedrooms is awful. It feels like 70 degrees if not warmer in the two master rooms. The room with twin beds is ice cold. Also the parking situation is HORRIBLE. We paid for an extra parking pass because we had two vehicles. Two large trucks one which could not fit upstairs and the other one fit by two inches. Which we were not informed of the parking garage before arriving. The downstairs parking were taking up by small SUV’s and cars several times which would force us to find other parking or not leave in the evening for supper which affected our stay and plans. The condo would not accommodate us or refund us for the extra parking pass. They told us they had no control over the parking issue and we would have to park elsewhere until a spot became available. This needs to be addressed if I’m paying extra money for a parking pass that you can’t even make accommodations for us to use with our large vehicles.

It was okayy.

We have stayed in Gulf Shores about every summer. We found this condo for a good price, so decided to give it a try. My family is not high maintenance, so we made it work and had a lot of fun. But I know I like a detailed review for a heads up before staying somewhere, so here you go… Here are the things we found were discouraging.. -Our door code quit working at 9:00 am, while checkout is at 10:00 am. If it had not been for my handicapped grandmother still in the room, we would have been unable to open the door to get our luggage on time for check out. - The balcony (not the one out of order) had broken glass on it at arrival, and my grandmother stepped on it- slicing her foot open. - The carpet smelled like pee, and the rugs need to be replaced. - Anything metal in the condo had rust on it. I know it's the beach- but please clean it. The shower caddy in the master bathroom even had rust on it. - The air conditioner didn't work correctly. - We called someone to help us with the satellite, and no one ever came. It was the college world series weekend, and we were wanting to watch the games! We ended up figuring it out, but no one came. - The beds were uncomfortable, and even the ceiling fan globe was hanging off and making noise. We had to put it back on. - Parking was awful, but we made it work. Don’t take a big SUV or a big truck- such as a King Ranch Truck. It will NOT fit. It had it’s good things too though! It was roomy. A corner room!!! Great view! :)

Company dropped the ball, unit needs some repairs, view is amazing.

After 16 hours on the road with two kids the afterhours arrival packet was not in the lockbox as advised. No parking passes. The condo door code was incorrect. Took over an hour to get ahold of someone to get the correct code. Had to go back to the office the next morning for the packet. Checked it before leaving and once again, someone dropped the ball. Had to go back in for another one. Several hours of our paid vacation were spent fixing their mistakes. No one told us to push zero on the afterhours line, my husband just tried it and it worked. Otherwise, we would not have gotten in the condo. The security guard was amazing and helped us with not getting towed and waited with us while we tried to get a new code. Tv in bedroom was busted, no batteries in remotes, master bedroom fan too loud to use, washer incredibly loud, dryer took two cycles to heat up, master tub drain did not seal, shower sprayed in the middle of the floor, the shower head was loose, guest toilet ran constantly, there isn’t a door lock for the master bath, sofa bed had food crumbs and toys in it. Ironically the cleanliness flyer had someone’s handwritten order on the back from a previous stay. The cleaning crew showed up one hour early and knocked on the door three different times rushing us to leave. They sat outside of the door and knocked every few minutes. The location and pools were good. The view was amazing.

Great Location

The property is in a great location. The view was wonderful. Checking in was easy. The negatives are definitely that it wasn’t clean. The carpeting was blackened by traffic, our bare feet blackened when we walked bare foot in there. We always remove our shoes when we enter. The sofa had many stains. Walls dinged from previous vacationers. The ceiling filters were black. A definite positive was the immediate response from the property management to have the air filters changed.

Older property with very tight and limited parking situation. We were in a surburban and could not access upper deck parking because of height limitations. Unit was comfortable but some furniture needs to be upgraded. WONDERFUL views and patios. Overall, we enjoyed our 7 day stay very much.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat 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: We loved the location of the building. However, the unit was very run down and needs to be deep cleaned. The carpet is dingy. The wall outlet in the master bathroom is loose. The porch furniture is very poor if you want to spend anytime on your balcony. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom squeaks as well as the door. There were no amenity keys to use for the bathroom or indoor pool. There was a beer can behind the dresser when we arrived. The remotes didn't have batteries. Overall, our stay was ok, but the condo was a poor reflection of the pictures. We would rent from this company again, but not this unit.

Other than there being 2 elevators to transport a large # of condos, we really didn’t experience huge issues getting up and down from the 10th floor. We absolutely loved our condo, the view, the pool and the beach. The views are just as amazing as the pictures portray. 5 stars! We’ll def be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay. Great location, vies, and condo! However, there were several maintenance issues that detracted from the stay. One elevator was broken, which created long waits (we waited almost 30 minutes to get our cart on the elevator when trying to check out). The workout room was closed. There was no ammenity key, so we couldn't access the indoor pool. There were 2 can openers (1 electric, 1 manual) and both were broken. We aren't angry, but expected better for the price we paid. Also, I want to let you know a few others just so you can fix them (they were not a problem for us though): table legs were really loose, bathroom outlet falling out of wall, coat rack at front entrance fell off the wall

On the carpet in the bedroom. The lamp at the bedside couldn’t be turned off without pulling the plug from the wall. The ice maker did not make ice. This was not what we experienced previous years.

Perfect Location!

We loved that we were just steps from the beach! Easy access and we never had a problem with the elevators. Elevators were always available and always working. We used the grill downstairs and the kitchen for meals. Rooms were just as described and just like the photos. The views from the large windows and balconies were amazing! I thought we were in a great location, we walked to several places, including the Hangout and public beach area. We would love to come back and stay here again.

It was awesome!

Just to let everyone know about this unit, it had the most amazing view! It was very comfortable and felt like home! It was very close and easy access to the beach! Very spacious! All though Im not one to complain but I will say the Elevators do need updating, and we’re very hot to be in, but they never let us down! The bathrooms could be more Handicap accessible, but we made due. I will commend Liquid Life sending a New Keurig over when ours wouldn’t work, I would like to say Thank You! Our stay was absolutely wonderful! We will most definitely come back and stay in this unit again! We love the Island Tower! Great location! 😊

Poor

We arrived to find out that the building was being x-rayed for cracks in the building. We were told to be out of our room for a day but to go to the condo above us. Found out later that we could not go to that room had to go to another one due to possible radiation. We had an 18 month old with us, so we had to pack , move, unpack and then do it again. Liquid Life’s lack of concern was unappreciated and unprofessional. Yes, they gave us another room for a day but the inconvenience was unbelievable. This was supposed to be a vacation for goodness sake. I will NEVER rent through Liquid Life again or stay at Island Towers. Do yourself a favor Rent through Meyer or Gulf Shores Realty
