First let me say, the service was insanely good! All correspondence and questions were immediately answered. They even brought us an extra hair dryer..on a Saturday..not the most urgent thing, but done!
The inside was clean with new carpet and paint, very nice. Location is excellent. Washers and dryers upstairs and downstairs was a plus for our large group. Extra beach towels supplied by owner and plenty of beach toys. Very nice touch! Plenty of parking with large driveway. The kitchen is nice and well appointed. The built in ice maker was AWESOME!!!! We really enjoyed not having to buy ice. Also, they supply a really nice margarita machine….soooo what’s not to love about that!
Now there are a few minor constructive criticisms:
The upstairs AC stopped working the last 2 days of our trip. It was cold so no big deal, but will need service I suspect. The outside of the house is a little rough and in need of paint and stain: a lot of corrosion on metal surfaces. I suspect the outside renovations are coming soon as the inside was fresh and clean. There is no boardwalk over the dunes, but there was a bunch of wood stored on the back patio area: I suspect one will be built soon. The fitted sheets in the master bedroom and several other beds did not fit properly and we were constantly readjusting them..kind of a pain in the middle of the night. Guests should know that an elevator is advertised with the house, but it’s locked and we were not able to use it.
The property manager Jessica is outstanding. We’ve rented several houses over the years on the beach at Gulf Shores, and I can’t remember better experience with management. Thanks for a wonderful week.
