NEVER RENT WITH VACASA!!!! Location was great+
Love the location! No sunrise view from unit but the ocean view was amazing!!! Great beds! Couches need to be replaced. On to the bad VACASA IS TERRIBLE!!! The unit was dirty!!! Food on dishes and utensils. Someone's dirty clothes in the bedroom. We contacted VACASA right away. We will talk to the local team was the continued response. I will never rent a property that is managed by them. We vacation at least 3 times a year. First and last time with them.

Beach retreat
If you are looking for easy beach access, the feel of home away from home and a spectacular patio. 5417 is it. This condo had the perfect ocean view and the location is great. Loved the condo set up and decor. It worked perfectly for our family. Looking forward to another beach vacation at this beachside condo.

The condo was great. We had three teenagers and two parents there. It had plenty of space. The balcony was huge. I had my coffee out there and watched the waves and sat out there at night as well. It was so peaceful. While i saw other reviews that said the condo was outdated, i didn't see any issues with the furniture or decor. It was a standard beachside condo. It's not a multi million dollar condo, but that's also not what we wanted or expected. There are 3 pools, that i don't think close, and the beach is very close. It looks much further in the pictures. We had friends who stayed in an end unit condo in the same complex. While their view was slightly better, it was more expensive and didn't have all the supplies our room had. We had beach chairs and umbrella, kids toys, laundry detergent, etc. All came in handy. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, grocery, and entertainment right around there. I also suggests the 10 minute drive down to the Hangout in Gulf Shores as well as 10 minutes the other direction to "The Gulf" restaurant.

Convenient
This was our first time to stay in this condo. Everyone says the fan makes noise in the master bedroom. It does. It just needs a few screws tightened. Hopefully they will attend to that soon. Just a couple of constructive criticisms: the sofa mattress was horrible. This is typical but it’s worn out. All that needs to happen is get on Amazon and get a memory foam sleeper mattress. Done. Secondly it may be the material but I think the sofa and loveseat have had their “run”. I work in a furniture store so I’m biased 😂 the main thing to know is it is a GREAT place to stay and I look forward to possibly staying there next year. Worth the visit. Worth the stay. Very happy. 😃

Started off horrible but luckily got better
When we arrived we could not figure out how to get in our room. There was a code but it would not work on the lockbox that was on our door! We tried and tried with no luck. When we called Vacasa we were on hold. The recording never said they were closed on Sunday, which is the day we arrived!! My husband and I had our two grandchildren with us who were so excited after a 5-hour drive to be there but then we could not even get in our room. It was hot and we were very frustrated because we could not get anyone to answer the phone at Vacasa! Finally my granddaughter tried the code on a lockbox on the stairwell and it worked! We finally found our room key after over an hour and a half of being in the heat and were able to get in our room. All of this could have been avoided if we would have had an emergency contact for Vacasa since we arrived on Sunday. The condo was very nice and we enjoyed the rest of our stay but we will not rent from Vacasa again. There are too many other places that we can rent from where we can contact someone if there is a problem when we arrive.

The homely touches throughout the condo are very welcoming. So many extras like extra soap, towels, cookware etc made our trip so easy and definitely a home away from home. Location was perfect!

Worst trip I've ever taken
1) Indoor pool was way too hot, both the room and the water. Totally unusable. The kids elected not to go swimming. That's how bad it was. 2) A/C in room was broken and repairmen has come out to fix it. They didn't leave til 11pm. The room did not cool down until around 4am. No one slept well because of the heat. 3) Outdoor pools were closed when we checked in. One was closed the whole day. One did not open until 7:30 pm and closed at 10pm. First day was wasted and then the lack of sleep and uncomfortable heat just compounded the issue. Security did not even bother telling us that the pools were closed. 4) When the outdoor pools were open the next couple days, they were very dirty. 5) Toilet seat in matter bath came off repeatably.

Perfect location with beach access
This is a great location that looks over the pool and beach. Great to sit on balcony morning and night to listen to the waves. We even saw dolphins one morning from the balcony. Would highly recommend this for location and price!

Beautiful View and Wonderful Experience!!
The balcony has a wonderful view of the ocean and the main pool. Everything was clean and comfortable and it felt like home for the week we were there. Had absolutely everything needed to make meals, have coffee on the balcony every morning, etc...Best restaurants in the area are LuLu's, Cotton's, De Soto's, Hurricane Grill, Cobalt. The beach is well groomed and is wonderful to be on. Thoroughly enjoyed and will plan on making another trip down, with the hopes of renting this particular condo again!! The one thing that I absolutely loved about Laura's Rental through VRBO, was check-in was 4:00 p.m., but we parked in the public parking lot right next to the resort, set up our camp by 10:00 a.m. and Laura's called us shortly after noon to advise us that the condo was cleaned and ready for us to arrive, if we were in the vicinity. My husband drove next door and the guard was not on duty, but we called him and he advised if we had access to the condo to go ahead and go right in and we could register our car with him later in the day. We stayed down on the beach until 5:00 p.m. and had a whole extra day there!! LOVED THAT FEATURE!! Thank you Laura Hancock for such a wonderful experience!!

Very nice place to stay- great location to everything!
other than a stained towel on the towel rack (which wasn't used)-- this condo was a great place to stay at a reasonable price. The location is great, and the resort itself was clean. I WILL stay here again if its available.

Great weather!
Loved the location of the property. The cleanliness of the kitchen was not that great. The counter had greasy, sticky stuff on it. Not sure if the floor had been mopped either. Had some trouble with the key box lock but finally got it open. We had wonderful weather but wished the pool had been heated.

Worth the money.
Directions to property were wrong. WiFi was awful. TV channel I was watching went off unexpectedly twice. Departure procedures were contradictory- said to turn on washer as leaving but washer has sign that says not to leave unattended. Condo was nice and clean with a terrific view and convenient to restaurants and other attractions. We enjoyed our stay despite the nuisances above.

Nice Rental, But not clean
We booked for 2 nights. Went to a concert on the first night, got in late. Got ready for bed and there was human hair all over the sheets in the master bedroom. We had to pull the sheets off at 1 a.m. and wash and dry them. There was also hair in the bathtubs the next morning when we got ready to shower and had to clean them out. I spoke with the weekend operator at the rental agency on Sunday, said she would take my information and have them call me. I have yet to hear from them. I sent a follow up e-mail on Monday after our stay, and have yet to get a reply. I waited until the following Saturday before writing this review to give them a chance to reply. I was and am not looking for anything, other than an apology. I guess I will keep waiting. In the meantime, I will not book with them again.
