Perfect spot!!

We had a wonderful time!!! Close to the beach with easy access. Property manager was in constant contact to make sure all our needs were being met. The only thing I wish it had was deck to deck access for when renting both sides. I highly recommend this property.

A place to stay

Close to the beach.

Check in was seamless. Unit was clean and had ample parking. The front door handle was broken and the bathroom rug was soaking wet upon check in. It would be helpful if the unit description included that there were beach chairs/toys and a wagon on both sides. We carted ours all the way from Texas! In Unit B we had issues with the TV which were never resolved, even after being on the phone with TurnKey for an hour. We were not there to watch tv so it wasn't the end of the world. Overall it was a great stay.

A little disappointed

Overall it was a good place but the pull out sofa was broken. It was very uncomfortable to sleep in. I notified Vacasa and they notified me that it would be taken care of but nobody showed up during our stay. We had trouble adding apps to the smart tv and using our apps with airplay. We could not get the support from Vacasa we needed to watch on our apps.

Family Fun!

The beach house was perfect for our group of 11! We rented both sides and had plenty of room for both families. It was spotless and nicely decorated when we got there. All of the beds were very comfortable! The location of this beach house is perfect for all things Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. We even took a short drive to Pensacola one day. A couple of things that I think could have been slightly improved: The front door of side B looks dirty/moldy, not a great first impression, but the inside was just great. The beach chairs/toys were a very nice touch that we weren't aware of for a couple of days, however, several things were broken or not able to be used. Umbrellas/stands on both porches were broken A few items in the kitchen would have been nice such as coffee filters and salt/pepper. None of the above affected our stay at all, just a few minor things that would have been nice. Overall, very happy with this house! No issues at all with check-in or communication with the property management.

Very Disappointed!!!

Our stay was very underwhelming. Upon arrival, we were let into our double sided condo by a member of the rental company. Immediately the team member informed us that some work had been done in condo b. The work done was not small, rather it was substantial. Industrial fans were left in condo b and it smelled like chemicals. The rental company called the team who did the work to come gather the two large and loud fans. The fans were never picked up as promised, so we had the pleasure of having them the entire weeklong stay. Once we unpacked our vehicles, we were able to really grasp the underwhelming nature of both condos. Dirty is an understatement. There were stains on the rugs (resembling vomit), finger prints all over the walls, dirt on the floor, baseboards not attached to walls, laminate flooring spreading apart, stains on the linens, unhealthy pillow options (yellow and stained), not enough towels for the 15 of us staying there, a woman’s bra and a tortilla found in each pullout bed, no cleaning supplies, sparse cooking utensils, door handles that do not lock, dust caked on the exhaust fan, and the trashcan outside of the condo was full of the previous renters trash for the entire week. The description of this rental is incredibly deceiving. It is not a 2 minute walk to the beach. It is not clean. The condo does not sleep 8 comfortably. If you choose to rent out only one side of the condo be prepared to hear the guests renting the condo next door.

Couple minor cosmetic problems nothing that affected our stay wish there was a joining door!

Great property need to advertise there are beach stuff available chairs, toys,wagons! Quick easy trip to the beach never had to call anyone for help code worked fine everything was in working and clean order. One bathroom door is hard to shut in unit a and unit b one outside door handle is missing a screw. All this property is missing is easier access to one another as we had both units. Would stay again!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thought the house would have been a great fit for our group. The location was excellent and worked great for us. The cleaner/maintenance service was excellent! We arrived and side A had a clogged toilet. Side B had no power (which we knew ahead of time). The toilet never was fixed durring our entire stay. We kept getting told that someone would contact us or come out to address the issue. That never happened. Customer service is very lacking.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is in an excellent location - close to the beach and to local attractions -- we were not there long enough to need the laundry - but the door locks to the laundry rooms would not unlock -- if you stay for longer than we did - I would recommend checking on this - by the time they contacted us about the locks on the laundry we were on our way home
