Nice place to stay

Property pictures were exactly what the property looked like. Within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Easy access to the beach and the pool was nice when we didn’t want to go to the beach. We would stay there again.

A great location for beach access and quiet, but close to several restaurants and shops.

Ocean Reef 601 was easy to find and the parking spot and view directly overlooks the access to the beach. The beach access is literally a 1 minute walk from the condo’s door! Pool and laundry access right outside the door. Location is just 2 blocks from the main drag which kept it quiet from rowdy tourists, but close enough to walk to several restaurants/shops. We would definitely recommend this location to friends.

Cute Beach Condo Escape

Had to evacuate NOLA from Hurricane Ida aftermath. They didn't price gouge, location was great and the condo had everything we could ever need. And they made it super cute and beachy, you can tell the owners put a lot of love into the place. Only downside were the thin walls. The condo above us was rented out twice in one week and was like Cirque du Soleil acrobatic troupes. Both families 8+ guests and no phone number to call and complain after 9pm. I wish whoever rents that unit out would ensure a limit on guests. Otherwise our condo was great. Would absolutely stay again.

Disappointing

I have never written a negative review at ANY place we’ve stayed. We were looking forward to spending time in this condo, it seemed to have all of the things we were looking for as far as beachside with pool and walking distance to many things. However, when we arrived there was a leak in the ceiling of the closet of the bedroom. We called and after a little bit of runaround, the manager told us he was waiting for a roofer and was at their mercy (it was after hours). He said he’s be in touch and try to get to us on Tuesday. Tues came and he showed up but with my kids there, gave them info that it wasn’t a roof leak (which my husband being a contractor already knew and mentioned to him it was either from the condo above or some condensation from pipes) and someone would be by to look at. All of this being told to our kids (19 & 15) as we were at the store, he never contacted myself or my husband. It’s frustrating as the closest looks as if this has been an ongoing issue and patched several times. We could not use - clothes went into the kids rooms, could use extra pillows or blankets as they were wet. Cleanliness left much to be desired. There was sand on the bed in the kids room, sand all over the floor, bathroom and bedrooms were super dusty and just felt dirty (mirrors had spots, hair on wall, mirror and shelf in bathroom, dishes we used were all dirty and had old food on them so I hand washed them all. Every time I swept there were ants all over the floor. To feel comfortable, I had to spend my first night cleaning and continued to sweep daily just to make sure the ants weren’t out of control. Also, if you are looking for quiet, this is NOT the place. You can hear every foot movement or something being moved upstairs, the pool has a time restriction but it was not followed. There were parties and kids out there some nights until well after midnight. We enjoy being out but being there for early ball games it was not the place for rest. Be sure to bring EVERYTHING with you. No spices, sugar, coffee filters, extra toilet paper or paper towels or trash bags. We travel a lot and stay in condos and there are basic essentials left. Needless to say our stay here was less than what we hoped. We had a great time in the area and on the beach but the inconveniences and issues with the condo out a little damper on the relaxation part. Will be hesitant to reserve this again. 😔

Excellent location

This location was within walking distance of a lot of stuff, particularly the beach and the hangout. The beach was beautiful and the hangout had great music every night. The cleaning company could do a little better job but overall the unit was fairly clean. I suggest bringing quarters for the laundry ($2 per wash and $2 per dry) as local banks won’t exchange your money if you are not a member. Sea and Suds has AUCE fish on tues and thurs for $9.99 and the prices on their other food is very reasonable. The Wharf seems to cater to people who have enough money to own a yacht (not us) so we felt like that was a wasted trip. Overall we really enjoyed Gulf Shores and would come back here again!

Run down and EXTREMELY LOUD!

First of all this property is in dire need of renovation. The ceiling in the kitchen has so much water damage that has been patched that it looks like it could fall any day. The bedroom with king bed has red curtains. When the sun comes up you feel like you are in either a circus tent or a house of pain because of the red glow! The part that really ruined this for us was the fact that the unit above ours was occupied also and they sounded like a heard of elephants. You could listen to their conversations and hear every step taken. They had kids and when they would run around it was shaking pictures on our walls and rattling our closed doors. We had our two year old and it was hard to keep him asleep with all the racket. If you are sound sleepers and don’t mind a run down condo then rent this one. But we will not be going back to this area. One plus for this condo is the beach I’m front of it was not busy at all! But there was a ton of jellyfish.

Best Location!

Everything about this stay was great. We parked right under our unit. The beach is literally right outside your door. No elevators to wait for or people to deal with. Perfect for social distancing. You are withIn walking distance to everything you need. We will definitely be back. Perfect stay. The only I thing I wondered was if the entry code could be emailed to customers the day of stay.
