The property was lovely. The view was perfect. We loved that you still had a nice view from the pool which was large and clean. No complaints we had a wonderful trip
This was our 2nd time to stay at Ocean House. The location to shopping and restaurants in Gulf Shores is great. The beach is perfect and the pool is top-notch. The employees of Ocean House are all friendly and helpful.
Great location, within walking distance of many restaurants. Condo was very clean and has excellent views of the gulf. Nice pool for kids and beach is practically at your doorstep. Would recommend and
will stay again!
The room was so clean and nice definitely wouldnât recommend staying on the 9th floor with little kids. It stormed when we went and the wind and rain was awful it was coming in through the sliding doors.

Reviewer Comments:
The condo was clean, nicely equipped and provided everything we needed for a good get-away. Not as big as the other condos up and down the beach meant that the beaches in front of this condo were not as crowded! Within walking distance of the Hang-Out and other shops was a plus.
From the rear bedroom patio door lock being broken and the crack in the living room ceiling, mold around the pool place could use a good cleaning and updating. The fixtures have a thick layer of dust on all of them. The advertisement said there is a gym on property, according to security it wasnât built back after last years hurricane. The gym wasnât my only reason for booking here but it was a reason. Thankfully there was a gym 25 minutes away but 1 hour just in travel a day, takes away from my vacation.
Best friend of 26 years upcoming sixtieth birthday !!
She had a bum knee on one leg and a sprain ankle in the other foot ⊠other than having to seriously slow down and take it easy we loved it nice and clean .. decor was lovely ⊠location awesome for we wanted to do ⊠only difficulty was the key box - and the spare very ornery to use didnât get it to work ⊠we decided we going to to do this Every year so we will be remembering yâall !!
Pros: Condo was clean and right on the gulf with a spectacular view.
Cons: 1. Furniture in living area is dated and uncomfortable. But I also understand the owners not wanting to put nice furniture in a beach rental.
2. Parking (not a lot of available spaces) and having to pay $30. Parking should be included anytime you are renting a condo and especially when paying over $3,000 for a week.
3. WiFi was terrible and not secure. We could not even get into the internet over half of the time. People do sometimes have to work while on vacation and secure WiFi should be an option.
We only had 4 towels in bathrooms, 4 washcloths & 1 hand towel- no makeup towels at all! There was suppose to be 5 towels & washcloths & a makeup towel in each bathroom. We didnât require 5 towels- so want to make sure we donât get charged for towels we never had. The main bathroom has a towel bar that is barely hanging on wall- I have pictures- and from previous reviews this was broken for awhile & not fixed. Also shower bar in main bathroom rusted & nasty! Have pictures! For a luxury apartment on the beach- it could at least have coffee filters available - as how will guests know what filters are needed- and really not expensive to have available.
The check in was not easy as the app & the check-in email did not state whether building 1 or building 2. Lockbox was not labeled as described or in location described. And being told that the app didnât have all information we needed was disconcerting when it appeared to have more information about everything than the email that was sent.
There was no security guard day we checked in or next day & did not show up til day before we left- and it was upsetting to then have to pay $30 for parking night before we left the next morning- not really sure what âsecurity â we paid for.
The location was GREAT & the apartment was mostly clean- just donât look behind beds- lots of dust- only saw that when needing to use plugs to charge phones.
The guest bedroom TV continually goes to SpongeBob for some reason.
Fridge occasionally had water puddling on top self, stove handle fell of but we just put it back on overall appliances could use an update, but worked. Floors could have been cleaner they needed to be mopped. Other than that everything was very convenient and security were helpful and pleasant. Would return.
The property was perfect for my stay we different people stay on different nights and it all worked out perfectly. The only downside is you should bring extra blankets and linens for the sofa bed. If you bring extra towels you wonât have to wash so often but we worked through it and we would definitely rent here again!!!
We loved the unit and enjoyed our stay! The view was spectacular from the ninth floor. The unit was well stocked and cutely decorated. We would certainly return another time.
