Off Season Getaway

My family rents a house in Gulf Shores for the Month of November every year. This house fit our needs very well with easy access to the beach as well as a pier directly off the back deck for lagoon fishing. Had some technical difficulties with the cable and internet but property manager was very responsive and had issue fixed within a few hours. Good value for the location and 4 bedroom is perfect size for my family. I would recommend and rent again.

The Lazy Pelican East

I was very disappointed in the pride of ownership in this property. It is very clear that you are not concerned with the up keep of this property. I actually spent the first hour or so of my stay cleaning all the light switches, window ledges and door handles. The light switches looked as though they had not been cleaned in months. They were disgusting. You also have a mold problem in your ventilation. You can see this very visible in return vents and vents in the walls. The dishwasher was not working properly and would not dry the dishes. We did contact the number given to us and they said they would send someone out to check it out but at no point during our stay did the dishwasher work correctly and we never saw anyone come so we can assume it wasn't addressed. The yard area to the side and back of the home had trash and weeds everywhere. I feel you could take more time to at least make sure trash is cleaned up and the beach area is open sand and not a majority of weeds. The flooring and trim are not in good condition and the trim is moldy and broken in many spots. The only thing I did appreciate was the location with the lagoon right out the back and that the floors and beds were clean upon arrival. We would not recommend this home and if we return we plan on staying in orange beach. We will also know to ask more questions about the property and be more open with the people running the home about our expectations.

Great home but could use some updates

We recently stayed at this property for our beach vacation. The house was nice overall. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. The kitchen needed some more cleaning. The shelves in the pantry were gross. Dishes were not clean, but then we realized it was probably because the dishwasher did NOT clean the dishes. Probably a combination of it needing serviced and we could never get hot water to the sink. Luckily we brought paper plates and plastic wear. The microwave and stove/oven needed to be cleaned. The grill downstairs worked, but is probably a fire hazard in its current condition. The upstairs patio had a shade to close for privacy from neighbors but was broke. The walls and baseboards definitely needed cleaning. We thought about calling but then our vacation would be interrupted by cleaning & maintenance crews. For as much as they charge for a cleaning fee, it should have been cleaned better and inspected by management company before arrival. The dock and beach access to the bay was amazing!! Beautiful view for sunset and sunrise. Overall, it was fine…but would probably stay somewhere different next time.

A great family spot!

A great house to combine multiple families. Two bedrooms with bathrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs was perfect for our family of 5, my parents, and my sister and her husband and newborn baby. We were slightly concerned about it being a duplex , but it was no issue at all - our neighbors were kind and they could not hear my loud children at night through the house - WHEW! The private beach is bayfront and PERFECT for any family with littles. Will definitely book again!

Great stay for a group

This location is perfect! We were just a short walk from the ocean and private beach. The property backed right up to the lagoon, and with the dock and water access right there, our kids had stuff to do while we were at the property. The only downside is that the property next door was under construction, so our parking situation was dicey each day. Other than that, this property was perfect!!

This property was well kept and clean. We enjoyed our stay there and loved the way the back of the house was situated toward the bay. We were able to spend a lot of time enjoying the bay using the dock. The appliances were also top notch and I loved that there wasn't carpet anywhere in the property.

Great Choice

This condo was very nice and accommodated my family perfectly. The door code worked promptly at 4pm for a seamless checkin. It wasn't on the beach but directly across the street so we didn't feel like we missed out and we even had a pier with beautiful pelicans. I only gave 2 stars on cleanliness because the staff didn't do a great job overall on cleaning. It wasn't filthy but the sheets and bathroom definitely got missed. It could've been an isolated incident so I won't hold it against them. I sent an email about it and someone responded in decent time trying to remedy the situation so I couldn't even stay mad. It was an easy fix and things do happen. Book your stay and enjoy!
