Walk to Beach: Peaceful Home in Gulf Shores!

Reviews

• Worst Ever

  1/5

  Orange Beach is a beautiful place with lots to offer but our accommodations were atrocious. Checked in on Saturday with no WiFi or tv (and cell service was limited to outside only without WIFI). After calling the local contact we were directed to call the IP ourselves. When it still didn't work, we were told a tech would be scheduled for Tuesday (the day before we checked out). We later discovered the internet went out Thursday night and it seems no effort was made to repair it. We constantly had to ask for updates, not once did the agent initiate a conversation. The place was dirty and in disrepair: Mold/mildew on AC vents, couches full of food debris, silverware that was supposed to be clean was filthy. Some ceiling fans didn't work, some light fixtures were missing pieces and the auxiliary AC in master bedroom leaked onto the bed when turned on so the room became excessively warm. The property management company, Evolve, was absolutely no help, totally useless. Each email was replied to with an apology and vague assurances they were looking into it and would be in touch. After contacting VRBO, I was connected with one of their agents for a wasted 45 minute call. My recommendation, if you see Evolve listed as the management company, find another property.

  The property has such great potential with a little work and elbow grease. We had to make a bed and sweep and mop upon arrival, as the bed was left unmade and the floor had dirt and food throughout the house. (Cleaning supplies and mop were purchased by us as there were nothing to use.) One mini split in a bedroom was broke all week, while another one started leaking midweek. WiFi went out on day three and never was back on. The pool was a great hit and we used it daily. Also just a short trip to a great beach. I will say the property manager attempted to fix on mini split a/c unit, and always answered my messages. I loved the Gulf Shores area, the beach, restaurants and the lovely pool. The house needs some major attention to cleanliness.

• Great trip - great house

  4/5

  The common spaces in the house were wide open and great for the family to share. We enjoyed the pool and the neighborhood beach access. It was about 7-8 min walk to the beach but very low traffic threat so it was perfectly fine! Floors were a little dirty and we had to contact someone to get the WiFi password but everything worked out and we had a nice time!

• Great Family Escape

  4/5

  The location of this property was absolutely stunning. The neighborhood is quite, friendly, and very laid back. We were a very short walk to the beautiful sandy beach. The house could use a deep clean, but we were two families, each with kids, so perfect cleanliness wasn't a priority for us. The rooms were amazing. Kitchen is very well stocked. The decks were relaxing and beautiful. The pool was a tad cold, but it didn't stop the kids from swimming all day/night. Our group (two families) fit great in this house, and we'd be back again!!
