Too Expensive

old and rusty....walls need painting and total updates needed for master bathroom. Parking is outrageous....$30.00 and only available for one parking spot. Wanted to spend 2-3 weeks but parking $90.00 laughable. The OCEAN HOUSE 1 office was NEVER open.

Needs TLC and disclaimer

The unit had large puddles in the kitchen and dining area when we arrived and we had to mop up before unloading our things. There is a dehumidifier on wheels that needs to be changed every 4 hours to keep the condo dry. I wish this was advertised so we'd be aware. If you cannot lift a 20lb water bucket from floor to dump in the sink several times a day, then don't book this unit. Because we arrived a day late, the bucket was not emptied and water accumulated on the floors and the furniture was damp. Do not leave the condo for the whole day or puddles of standing water will develop. Master bedroom bed is broken, Ottoman in living room is shredded on top, shower curtain is hung too high and the floor of bathroom floods which is probably why there is mold in the corners. Pros are the view, beach access and the pool. I would not book again at this price

Great view

Great view from the balcony, beds were very comfortable, pillows a little flat. This condo ciuld use some TLC though. Floor could have used another wipe down. No towel hooks, no beach towels so plan accordingly. A few sand toys, chairs, and a boogie board in the patio closet which was nice. Appliances have some wear but in working order. Vacasa was great to deal with, quick in answering questions. Didn't need anything specifically from them but they checked in throughout the trip.

Awesome view

The property was great! View, awesome! Overall cleanliness was good, but floors could use more attention(looked clean but socks and feet told a different story). Also, remote batteries should be checked and some recepticle faceplates were broken. Overall experience was outstanding, especially for the price!!

Not as advertised

After an 8 hour drive we finally arrived, yay! No...within 2 hours of our arrival workers for the city, not sure who handles beach maintenance, put up a sign warning us to stay off the beach. They pad locked the gate..... so our beach access condo was no longer a beach access condo. The heavy equipment was being brought in and would running 24/7 we were told, until the severely eroding beach was rebuilt. The rental management companies were made aware the day before. So we contacted VACASA, they couldnt help...couldn't find us a condo that offered us what we paid for...beach access from the condo. We left, so after 2 hrs we reloaded our stuff and drive to the BW for the night. Then found a new condo on the beach with beach access right down the road...now they think we should pay for their lack of managing!!!! Really! Very disappointed.

Sweet place by the sea

Clean and nautically decorated space. The pictures were very accurate. The unit is directly on the water so get ready for beautiful views and warm, ocean air. You are on the main strip and not far from all the attractions. Traffic can be a little thick so be looking for alternate side roads around it if you can. The pool was very nice and easily accessible with an elderly guest. They provide very minimal supplies of soap, trash bags, etc to get you started so be prepared to get more if on a longer visit. Everything was incredibly clean except the toilets could have used a little more attention under the rim. Everything worked fine except a lamp in the front, smaller bedroom. The switch was broken off and stayed on the entire time if not unplugged. Very minor though. You can hear a lot of noises from the AC, the road and other units. It didn't bother me personally but others might find it annoying. Overall, check in was easy, the unit was clean and spacious and had everything we hoped for. I would definitely stay again and recommend this unit and this rental agency.

Pleasantly surprised

After reading past reviews I was worried about my stay at this property.. I was very pleasantly surprised. I was impressed w the cleanliness of everything. Furniture was comfortable. The decor was updated and tasteful. Kitchen well stocked w all the necessities. There was no musty smell or odors at the unit. We had zero complaints and a great trip! Both rooms were large enough to house a pack and play for our toddler with room to spare. Tv had abundance of channels which was nice compared to other places I’ve stayed! My toddler LOVED the walk in entry pool and the baby pool. Umbrellas and chairs were available for rent right on the beach from Ike’s rentals for 40$/day for two chairs and unbrella. Beach was a very short walk which was great for our family. Parking was easy and we had plenty of spots available on a holiday weekend. We would definitely come back and stay here again!

Before arriving we received a text that our condo was ready before our check in time. That was a nice touch. Once we arrived, and opened the door, we were immediately hit with a musty smell. We have stayed at older properties and condos in Gulf Shores before and not had this issue. As mentioned in another review the living room rug was dirty. To the point, I believe it needs to be replaced. Again, as mentioned in another review, the master bedroom and bathroom vents were dirty. Not just dirty, but more than likely black mold. We tried to clean what we could off of them. At this point, the property management team, Vacasa, had reached out to me to see if we were satisfied with the cleaning. I let them know my issues at the time. They offered for someone to come clean and I let them know this was more than a quick clean. There is a bigger issue with mold. We were there as a memorial trip in honor of my mom for 3 nights only, and did not want to be bothered. These were issues that had clearly been brought up by past renters that have been ignored. The next issue… there was renovations happening on the building that was not disclosed before or after booking. We had ropes from scaffolding in front of our balcony. I let the team know I was unhappy about that, as well. This was in Sunday. The next day, we all of a sudden had a man on our balcony, posting a sign that we could not go on the balcony from 8a-5pm Mon-Sat. That was very upsetting.

We stayed for our honeymoon. The views were amazing. The location is perfect. We were having such a great time - we decided to add 2 more days and they made the process so easy! They allowed us early check in and an option for late checkout. We will definitely be back and use Vacasa and Ocean House for our future beach vacations!

At first glance we thought this would be amazing! Sure the beach access definitely was and the pool was nice to have when we wanted a sand break, but the condo itself was disappointing. We were welcomed by gnats which never went away - I think they were in the garage disposal in the sink. There is no workout area like it lists which was a huge selling point for us and extremely disappointing to find out that was open pre covid. When you’re in your rooms, you find out there is zero storage to put clothes you’d keep in a drawer so you have to live out of your suitcase. The master shower didn’t drain and there was mold in the shower head, but the water gets super hot quickly which was nice! The doors to go outside on the patio were so stiff, the tracks need cleaned for sure. I think the whole condo itself could use a deep clean from top to bottom. Sitting outside was nice, even saw some dolphins while relaxing out there! The furniture was extremely comfortable. We all enjoyed lounging on the couch and our beds gave us great night sleeps after long days on the beach. They have extra blankets which was nice for having on the couch. There wasn’t many restaurants or things to do in walking distance if any, so you’d be relying on a vehicle to go places. Parking is tight but we didn’t have any issues finding a spot. Elevator is semi sketchy but it’s quick and never a long wait.
