The condo wasn't bad at all, but the couch and chairs are dirty and need a good cleaning. We threw some clean sheets over them. On the morning of check-out at 9am our door comes open. I'm standing in the hallway to the door. This young woman pokes her head in and said that they were the cleaning service. Nevermind that check-out is 10, and there's a working doorbell, instead of just coming inside. I did recommend a safety latch to end that problem.It's worth it, it just needs a few better pieces of den furniture and a few touch ups. Oh, they have a very nice view of the ocean.;)
It was a very nice clean place to stay ! I would come back anytime . We loved the location and itâs right on the beach! I would recommend anybody that wanted to come stay in Gulf Shores to stay here !
We had a great stay while in Gulf Shires at the Caribbean 803 unit. Canât beat the 8th floor view and easy access to the beach that the property was on! We would DEFINITELY recommend these condos for any type of vacation!
We enjoyed our visit minus the fact the property doesnt have cameras in the parking lot and we were involved in a hit n run and no way to get the license.
Wanted a view days on the beach. View was great Beach was great. Condo was as described.
Only thing was shower curtain liner needed replacing. Bed was comfy had everything we needed.
The condo was great. Didnât spend a lot of time there. Access to the beach was mere steps away. Appreciate the satellite TV and was able to watch March madness after the day at the beach.
Thanks for a wonderful Place to stay! It has a stupendous view. The appliances are all new and work. The elevator worked every time! YAY ! I would add a couple more dish towels and cloths. We stayed in and had to wash them constantly. The only thing that was bothersome was the latch on the balcony sliding door.
Condo was clean and big enough for 3 girls. Only downfall was no tents allowed on that portion of the beach which we didnât know until we had already put it up. Very close to the ocean. Building is pet friendly so we saw multiple dogs but they are not allowed on beach. Building also has limited parking and at times there was not a single spot. Management company that owns it was super friendly and very easy to get ahold of. All in all very satisfied.
Web description very innacurate. There is no covered parking for this unit, there were black hairs on our towels and sheets upon arrival, black mold all over the baseboards, ceiling spackle peeling off in the shower stall, chipped toilet seat, screen to balcony ripped and could barely slide it open, no shared hot tub as described, mold in the steamer shower amongst other less-than-stellar issues. Would never book again.
View from the condo was amazing - looks right out onto the ocean and you can hear the waves crashing all the way inside if you leave the porch door open. Quick and easy beach access was wonderful and location was convenient to restaurants and grocery store (walking distance if you're up for a stroll). There are two very comfy chairs plus a swing on the porch. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need (even a blender). The second half bath was very convenient. Condo was clean and updated though some towel hooks would be a useful addition and the drains were a bit slow. It was nice being on the top floor but we did hear noises through the walls from the neighbors. Nice king size bed in the master though the mattress was a bit stiff. Overall, a wonderful beach getaway. Would stay again.
We had a great first experience at Gulf Shores. The location of the property was great. The size of the condominium made the property on the beach not as crowded as other locations. The elevator was quick enough where we didnât wait long. The balcony was private and a perfect view. The ONLY complaint I have is the water pressure. Iâm not sure if it was due to everyone using water at one time or what was going on, but while taking a shower or washing dishes, there were times we had a trickle of water. when the pressure was good, it would go in and out after 5 minutes. The property management company was quick to respond to issues. We didnât have a parking pass in our condo like we were supposed to, called them and they brought it over within an hour. Lightbulb in bathroom went out, they replaced it while we were out on the beach. We had a great trip and will probably stay here again!
I wasnât impressed with the cleanliness. We had to wash EVERY dish before we used. They clearly were not clean. Just kind of old and dank. However⊠I guess that may be what you get for this price range. This be was our first time in gulf shores. It worked though⊠there were NO BUGs⊠which is important. Itâs not like you stay in your condo a lot anyways, right? Staying on the 8th floor was a pain since we could never take stairs and there is only one slow elevator ⊠if that thing would have been out of service it would have been miserable. It worked, but donât it to be very nice. Itâs ok.
Pros
Great Location
Great view
Nice layout
Well-appointed kitchen (nice, clean appliances, well-stocked kitchen wares)
Quiet neighbors
Cons
There are major cleanliness and housekeeping concerns from top to bottom of this condo. We notified the maintenance co. about sheets/towels and floors on our first day. They replaced sheets and removed towels but did not clean floors. Here are some of our biggest concerns:
1-sheets had sand in them which raises concerns that housekeeping is not changing bedding between guests
2-dirty towels were left in bathroom closet
3-all floors were dirty with stuck-on food and hair
4-wall and floorboard covered in mold in bathroom. This leaves condo with odor.
5-shower curtain has a large stain
6-clean towels smell of cigarette smoke
7- furniture and walls are stained
8-vanity light burned out
9-beach chairs in closet are both broken
10. Pool heater broken or nonexistent
I have never written a bad review but felt I had to this time due to the severity of the issues, in addition to the lack of concern/response by owner/management. Buyer beware.
