This is a beautiful, brand new beach house. I was nervous about staying here as there were no prior reviews, but took a chance since it was brand new as of 11/2018. Prior to our arrival, I sent a couple inquiries via email to the Property Manager and received an automated reply that I needed to book the house to ask questions. Both times I replied I already had a reservation, and only then were my questions answered. Upon arrival, Sunday, Aug 11th, we pulled up to 3 garbage bins, stuffed full of trash that smelled horribly, they were right next to the staircase leading up to the house. I took a picture and emailed it to the property manager. I received a reply stating that I had to put the trash bins on the curbside on Wednesday as that was trash day. First impressions always leave a lasting impression. So my first impression was that someone didn't care enough about putting the trash bins out for collection prior to our arrival. Whether that was the renters prior to us or the property manager, it's still a poor reflection of the property manager. We reviewed the House Rules posted on the fridge, it said trash days were Monday and Thursday. I emailed the property manager again and asked for clarification, they replied that trash collection was still on summer hours, which meant that collection was on Wednesday and Saturday. I responded saying that if trash collection was on Saturday, that whomever was responsible for putting out the trash on the day before our arrival, didn't put out the bins. They replied that they'd speak with the Director of Guest Services to see what could be done, but never heard from them again. We put out the bins on Wednesday morning and on Friday when we departed for Saturday pick up. The layout of the home is quite nice. Each bedroom has an attached bathroom. The bathroom door to the bunk room does not close properly and several of the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen do not close properly either. The house could use some counter height bar stools for additional seating, pot holders, trivets, and a vacuum. I was also told there were no bbq grills on property, but there were two charcoal grills there. This house is about 20 - 30 mins away from Gulf Shores and not much around in the way of amenities, so if you like being in quiet seclusion, this is for you. Bring bug spray!!! We were all bit up horribly by sand flies. There is a lot of shrubbery and standing water nearby, so is perfect for bugs.
