Gulf Shores Vacation Rental: Walk to Beach!

Reviews

• Great space!

  5/5

  We had a great stay here. The condo is very nice and our girls loved the bunk beds. Mattress in the bedroom is a little firm but that's personal preference. The pool was always the perfect temp. One thing that was an added bonus is the roof top sitting area. It was amazing and the view was gorgeous. The beach was a little farther than what we realized but it's definitely walking distance and you can drive around the building and park a little closer as well. The only thing that was confusing and kind of frustrating was fiftieth out the parking pass. Security at the gate doesn't handle them. Once you arrive find the security office on the second floor and he will get you taken care of. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely use this liston again if given the chance.

  This was a nice condo. A little bit of a walk to the beach, but for a great price.

  From the owner: ''The same reasons we love it! Our beach is not too crowded and if you want the beach to yourself just walk 50 yds. and you have it! Thanks for the great review!''

• Terrible Communication

  2/5

  The property was ok (at best) but the information provided by and communication from the rental company (Evolve Properties) was the worst. No WIFI, no tv remotes that worked, plug-ins and light switches not working, chairs with legs about to fall off, no welcome package (as promised), smoke detectors just thrown under the sink, a kettle that did not work, and more. We had to take time off from our vacation to let in the WIFI vendor to get it working. The local property manager was the worst I've ever encountered. Did not return calls or texts and was very unconcerned about any of the above issues. Definitely will not be back to this rental and would caution everyone to think twice before renting from Evolve Properties. After we returned home, and sent an email to them, they did not seem to care about any of the issues that we pointed out.

  Hi Corey, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following:
  - We strive to provide our guests with a great guest experience, so we were disappointed to hear your stay didn't meet your expectations and want to take a moment to address your concerns.
  - We appreciate your patience in allowing the WiFi technician access to the property to resolve the internet issue. We recognize that this was an inconvenience during your vacation, and we will ensure that in the future, such matters are handled more efficiently, by our management team, to prevent disruption to our guests' plans.
  - We understand your frustration with the furniture and are glad to inform you that we have since tightened the legs of the chairs to ensure they are secure. We also want to clarify that the issue with the TV remotes was a temporary problem with the cable service provider, primarily affecting the living room, and has since been resolved.
  - Regarding the light switches and plug-ins, we have addressed the light fixture failure that was causing the issue, ensuring all electrical fittings are now in proper working order.
  - We have reviewed our listing to ensure accuracy and confirm that while we offer a starter package for convenience, we do not advertise a welcome package. We apologize for any misunderstanding in this regard. - Your safety is of utmost importance to us, and we want to reassure you that the smoke detectors in the unit are fully operational, complemented by a commercial-grade sprinkler system for added safety.
  - Your feedback has been invaluable in highlighting areas for improvement, particularly in communication and response times from our property management team. We are committed to working with Evolve and the local property manager to enhance our processes and ensure immediate attention to our guests' needs and concerns.
  - While we regret that your stay did not meet your expectations, we are grateful for the opportunity to make improvements based on your experience. We hope the discount offered reflects our commitment to your satisfaction and our appreciation for helping us improve.
  Thank you again for your review, and we sincerely hope to have the chance to provide you with a much-improved experience in the future.

  From the owner: "Thank you for the great review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We only provide a starter kit for toiletries due to guests taking the extras. This helps us keep costs down and allows us to provide an affordable stay for our guests. There is a small store just up the road we shop at (Sassy Bass) they have groceries and most other items to provide for a comfortable stay. Thanks again for staying with us and enjoying our wonderfully secluded beach and condo."
