Needs updating….
The condo was pretty clean but is in need of updating, which we realized when booking. The bathrooms and kitchen, bedding and some furnishings could be upgraded. Then of course the rate would be increased 😊 Great location, loads of amenities and when the lobby construction is completed, Phoenix V will be super nice!

Family Getaway
We had a good time! I was not thrilled about having to pay an extra $55 to park. It would have been nice if that were included in the room rate. Also did not like being made to wear a plastic wristband like I'm at the local fair. It left a tan line, which isn't that big of a deal, yet, still annoyed me! I realize it's for safety; however, it was inconvenient and childish.

Michelle, thanks for sharing your condo experience! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the property and there were no issues with the condo itself! The parking fees are handled by the HOA and this information is listed on each property page when looking to reserve! We understand about the wristbands, though this is a security measure set in place to ensure only the condo's guests have access to the pool. Unfortunately, people are known to come from the beach and try to gain access to the pools, so we hope that this didn't cause too much inconvenience during your trip! Next time, please voice these concerns prior to booking and we can suggest another beautiful property that meets your standards. Thank you for choosing Beach Getaways!

Beach getaway
We enjoyed our stay here. The condo was pretty well kept up. The closet where the trash is kept was dirty. Walls were dirty from people throwing away trash in there. You only get one hand towel in the kitchen to use for your time there. Thought that could change. There were five of us in the condo for 6 days. We all felt as though the beds were too hard. The living area and views were gorgeous. Easy beach access. There were 2 beach chairs left behind that was nice to have as well. The pool was fun for the kiddos after a long day at the beach. The outdoor pool was our fave. The indoor pool was fine but loud and very hard to breathe due to chemical smells. 2/3 hot tubs were working. The condo building was very busy and at times, it took a very long time to use the elevator. Thankfully this condo was on the 3rd floor so we mostly used the stairs. The condo had utensils we needed to make easy/quick meals. We had to buy toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap etc. Also, a lot of the outlets wouldn’t work in the living areas. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. The views were beautiful. Nothing better than shark/dolphin watching with a cup of coffee.

Jolene! Thank you for sharing your experience in our wonderful condo! We have cleaned up the trash closet area and we appreciate you letting us know! Things like that can sometimes be overlooked so we are grateful for our guests' feedback! Toilet paper, dish & laundry detergent, and trash bags are the main things the guest provide for themselves as we provide a fully stocked kitchen with linens and towels. We are glad overall you enjoyed the condo and the amenities, and we hope to see you again soon.

Family vacation !!!
We usually make a yearly trip to either Orange Beach or Gulf shores , I guess it just depends on pricing at the time because it’s really the same beach, the property was perfect and the view was what we’ve been waiting to see !! Thank you for inviting us in and letting us stay. I was thinking it would of been nice to leave behind unused items or items that wasn’t used , like extra trash bags , paper plates or paper towels that weren’t open , almost like a community donation for the ones that use the room, I guess covid takes effect to , but would of still been nice to leave it for the next guest . Another idea to we’ve seen before where the owner leaves almost like a diary for the family’s that stay to write a little note or what not for there experience. It was just neat and the kids got to write something to that they enjoyed. Thank you again for letting us stay !!! Would highly recommend and will most definitely be staying there again. Everything from the room to beach was clean . And staff were all professional and very polite. I don’t really understand the additional parking fee if we’re wearing the bracelet, but still not a deal breaker .

CLEANING
My only issue is that the cleaning service needs to do a better job. We found food under the recliner when we slightly moved it under. Clear shower curtain was broken but I guess nothing was ever said by cleaning crew. Tags from last renters from clothes that were purchased were on the floor. Sheets did not smell as if they had been cleaned. I could go on but I feel you get the point. I believe when we left it was cleaner than when we came in except the sheets I pulled off the bed and left on the washer and dryer to be cleaned.

Complex could use updating.
Couch in condo was caved in and not comfortable. Cleaning could have been better we had to wipe down everything ourselves. Pool was nasty and hot by the end of the day. No one monitored it at all and one day there was what looked a diaper exploded and was left in the pool all day. Everyone was friendly and location was great!! Room was laid out nice. There was no privacy on the balcony. You can and hear everything.

Just OK
The layout of the condo is great, but the balcony is NOT private. You can hear and see everyone all the way over to the next condo. The kitchen is lacking, not even enough utensils and bowls for 6 people and there is only a coffee maker. Plan accordingly if you want to cook. The beds seemed sloped, but the location close to the beach was great. Easy access if you drive to everything. Loved the beach!

Average beach front condo
First time to Alabama gulf coast. Did not seem any different than south Florida gulf coast. The unit was nice but not extraordinary. It was clean and what we needed. Nothing extra in the kitchen. The balconies are so close you feel like you are part of your neighbors conversation. The amenities were appreciated. Sometimes check in was slow because they only had one person at the desk. The beach was totally awesome. So to sum it up the place was just ok but ok in a great location.

On the beach
Enjoyed our stay. It was on the beach which was convenient. Didn't too much care for the white counter tops , cherry juice fell on it and it was a bit hard to clean up off the counter tops. The dryer was extremely loud but dried well. Over all it was a descent place to stay for the price.

We loved our rental. Access to supplies very close. View was fantastic! We did not feel the rental was fully equipped for 6 tenants. There were only 4 cups, 2 spoons. No blankets for pullout. We will definitely do it again and keep these necessities in mind. 6 60+ ladies need there coffee!

Please update this unit
Our family loves Orange Beach! This was our first stay at Phoenix V and we chose it due to the kiddie splash pad and location on the beach. The unit, however, wasn’t up to par. The couch was nasty — we were all afraid to sit on it because it was visibly dirty. The shower curtains had black mold on them. The master bed comforter had blood stains on it and its shams, and there were dirty towels and a swim suit left by the wash machine. Typically there are beach chairs for guests to use but not here, which is a bit disappointing. The shower faucet requires a doctorates degree to use because it’s from the 60’s (took us about 10 minutes to figure out how to use it and it was complicated!) The pros of the property: Beach front. Right on the beach. Perfect view of the beach. Comfortable king bed and full size beds. Well stocked kitchen. Kiddie splash pad was a SCORE with our son as well as the outdoor and indoor pools. Easy access to the beach. Washer and dryer worked perfectly. Hot water was plentiful and HOT! Only advise, please update this unit.

Great location, minutes from anything needed. Interior was a little dated but that didn’t stop us from renting. Popcorn ceiling stuff was falling in the master bathroom, slight mold on shower curtains and couldn’t enjoy the balcony because of the smokers (even when it’s a non smoking property)

Josh, thank you for leaving us a review! We're glad you enjoyed your time on the beach. I let my maintenance & housekeeping team know about the few things you mentioned. Those buildings are non smoking. We're sorry you weren't able to enjoy your balcony. In case this ever happens again, if you report it to the front desk they will contact the management company and/or the guests, because they are not allowed to smoke on the balconies. We hope this wouldn't prevent you from renting from us in the future. -Beach Getaways

Memorial Weekend Stay
The property was very nice, everything worked fine. A/C Cold, Beds comfortable, lots of pillows and blankets, although we brought a few of our own. 3rd floor was nice, overlooked pool and beach. Complex was very nice and clean. They took extreme care of the pool and security monitored the property to make sure everyone stayed safe. Checkin was awesome - ipad right on the counter - quick. we had wifi access, cable tv, blender, toaster, lots of pans for cooking, plates, bowls, silverware, cooking utensils, glasses & cups. Coffee pot made a full pot or you can use k-cups. All in all we had a great weekend. We only had incident that I was upset about - the first night we got in I took my grandkids (3, 5 & 7) to the indoor pool about 10 pm since the pools close at 11 pm (they were excited to get in a swim) so after about 45 minutes I decided to let them see the outdoor pools and get in for a few minutes someone threw something from one of the balconies high up and it hit about 5 feet from my granddaughter. If it had hit her in the head it would have killed her. I was very upset and called security that night and talked to them the next day and several times after. They were very diligent to find out who did it and said they had information as to who did it. I was impressed with the level they were taking to deal with it and protect their guests and property. Thanks,
