Nice spot for couples getaway

The location is really nicely convenient to the Hangout and main drag but far enough away to be quiet. The layout is nice but needs a few updates to be top notch.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view was wonderful. The room was ok & was everything we needed. The only down side was the air vent was set on high & was blowing cold air 24 hours a day. Could not adjust in any way. No vent cover. Just a hole blowing hard cold air.

Gulf Shores Getaway

Cozy low-key getaway for senior couple with beautiful views of beach and ocean. Short drive to restaurants, shopping, and Gulf Shores Beach. This unit could use a little freshening up, but it was clean and comfortable for us.

Comfy & cozy

My husband & I just wanted a relaxing lazy get-away and we got what we needed. The balcony was great to be able to sit out on no matter what the weather was. There is no washer/dryer or dish washer which was fine since we ate out and didn't want the extra work this trip. The only thing we used the kitchen for was our morning coffee. :p

Don't recommend 1B Gulf Tower

The room wasn't clean. The mattresses were horrible. There was a pillow with a huge blood strain. The tubs wouldn't drain. The sliding glass door wouldn't stay closed. Half the electrical outlets didn't work.

TWO KEY FOBS TO POOL!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love GT but you GOTTA give at least TWO key fobs to the pool for each condo. It’s RIDICULOUS to have to coordinate every trip back and forth to pool or beach and DETRACTS from the experience. EVERYBODY complains

Ok stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Only 3 towels @ washcloths for 3 women for 3 nights. Could hear water from other rooms (sounded like we had leak) Wasn’t told only one vehicle per unit was allowed. You can’t grill nor smoke when raining; bc there isn’t a cover to stand under.

Overall great stay 7/27-7/30

Overall had a great vacation. There are some pros and cons to this unit. Cons- The beach in front of property was slightly on a hill and wasn’t wide at all. I walked a good distance down the beach in both directions and it was the same. Not sure if that’s typical for gulfshores as this was my first time staying. We typically go to FL but I’ve never experienced such a small beach. There aren’t really any pictures of the beach area in front of the unit online so I wished there would have been. There were missing ceiling tiles in the bathroom… didn’t affect our experience but for the price I would’ve liked it to have been mentioned prior to booking. Kind of a shock to just walk in and see. Extra blankets in a linen closet were all rolled up instead of folded.. made us wonder if they were “clean” because we already knew people had just Checked out the same day we were checking in. No towels can hang from balcony. We were only given 3 wash cloths for 2 adults to use for 3 nights. I can “make do” with reusing towels to dry off on but not having a clean washcloth per person per night or the ability to request more is a bit much considering the price point. Now to the pros. The unit and property grounds was clean and well kept. Parking was good. I’m sure that’s because they limit you on your vehicles per unit but that’s a good thing in my opinion. Location was perfect. Loved the beachside pool. Balcony had plenty of seating and a nice table. Bed was comfy.

Vacation

Our first time at Gulf Shores and we were not aware of them renovating our condo. We were told it was ready for us. Exposed wires in hallway and in our bathroom, elevators were being worked. Most all outlets were useless because the plug ins wouldn’t stay plugged in very loose. Bed was falling apart and some of the light switches didn’t work properly. Overall the location was nice, right on the beach, beautiful view from our room balcony, had a nice pool, wasn’t very far from shops and restaurants.

Every time some ran water we thought our unit had a leak. There was very small amount of beach space. There were ceiling tiles missing in the bathroom. The rental staff was very nice & went over everything throughly.
