Easy access to the beach, nice pool, check in & out was very easy & efficient. Restaurant food was great. Not sure about other condos there but ours could have been a little cleaner & a few outlets didnât work.
This is a very spacious, clean, well cared for property. There is plenty of room for everyone! The extra large balcony is a bonus space! It was so relaxing to sit out there. The amenities of the property are outstanding! Beach is beautiful! The chair and umbrella rental at the beach is perfect if you don't have your own equipment or want to carry it down to the beach.
This was my second stay on the Plantation! We love the quiet/private and family atmosphere. I left a 4 only because of specific issues with this unit, & the hot tubs being out of service.
I loved that this condo was so close to the beach. The balcony had a good view. There were broken chairs out on the balcony , a big picture fell off the wall due to the screws that were used. The skillets in the kitchen should have been thrown away long ago. The cleaning crew were horrible.
We loved that the area of gulf shores wasnât real busy and right on the main drag. The condo itself in my opinion could use some updating. Such as the furniture(beds), kitchen appliances, etc. it would have also been nice to have some put put golf accessories and tennis to utilize what the facility provided.
Love this unit. Unfortunately we were there while construction/repair was going on. Could not enjoy the wonderful balcony due to the falling debris from the construction. Being awaken by construction sounds each and every day at 7:00am wasn't good but it got our day started early! We have stayed at the Dunes several times and will return again. This unit was great for out family except the pull out couch needs replacing.
Our original room wasn't available due to post hurricane repairs being incomplete. We received a nice upgrade, and were able to include another friend.
We had minor issues with room (ice maker wouldn't turn off and kitchen sink dripped) but someone came and repaired within a couple hours of our call.
**note --"fancy" shower in master bath doesn't work in "fancy" mode, but works as a regular shower.
Ate at the restaurant on site and had a great meal with great staff. Beach and pools were great.
Cleanest, best-equipped rental we've stayed in at the beach. It is on the 2nd floor and that isn't listed anywhere, but it makes using the stairs easy and the elevator can get a bit busy. It also is in a building perpendicular to the beach so view is one sided and blocked by the building next door. Pools are nice and there is an indoor pool if it rains. Beach access is easy and there are showers to get the sand off. It's also in Fort Carson, not Gulf Shores which means it is not as crowded or developed, which we preferred.
Place is spacious. Lighting is poor. There are no fans inside. The coffee maker is broken. They do not keep condiments or coffee on hand. Guest bed is on a frame thatâs too small. Bed tips if you sit on end. Mold visible in master shower. Furniture is mostly wicker and uncomfortable. If you plan on being out on beach all day itâs not terrible. If youâre stuck inside it feels oppressive.
Upon arrival the condo was dirty. I had to call and speak to representative twice to get information on cleaning again. They were an hour away, so we went with the next morning. When they cleaned, the still missed dirty mirrors and took dirty towels and didnât leave enough behind. I called requesting more towels and they were supposed to bring some the same day and we never got anymore towels. We had a total of 8 towels and we had 9 guests. The condo is in need of maintenance and a good detailed cleaning. Carpet in one room is separating from tac board, we had a child who stepped on it. Master bathroom shower has mold growing in cracks of tile. Balcony chairs are rusted and two do not sit level ( need replacing). I would also suggest some plastic kitchenware as this was advertised as family condo. The location to the beach was great and overall quality of building was fine.
