My Mother's wish coming true
It was absolutely fantastic! The condo was great, clean & the decor was so cute. My mother had never experienced this kind of vacation. Everyone was so nice & helpful. My mother had this wish to see the ocean one more time .... & she loved every minute of it. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful with the personalized card ( it made my mom feel special) & the goodies. I could go on but lets just say it was perfect!

Annual guys golf trip
Thank you for a great stay. The property was just as described, clean and great to be located next door to the Flora Bama night club -- perfect for a vacationing golf group. I must give props to the Beach Getaways property group too. Flawless and easy electronic exit and entry process. They continuously stayed in text communication with me before and throughout the weekend. Electronic code condo entry makes for a safe and much easier method. Thanks folks. You've truly made Orange Beach vactioning a lot easier.

Not impressed
Our stay started with a door going from the living room to the balcony that was broken and it was all I could do to shut it. Thedoor had a note that said broke and after maintenance finally showed up the informed me the door had been broken for a month so to use the balcony everyone had to go through the master bedroom for 8 days. Maintenance had to come a second time when our guest told us how uncomfortable their bed was and we found the bed boards broken and all the supports missing . Maintenance also found the balcony door would not lock and also informed dishwasher does not drain. So I would like to know what whoever reads this has to say if this happened to them on their vacation? And who decides what the refund on a horrible condo should be

We had a great time. My biggest complaint was the constant asking where our bracelets were. I understand they don’t want people off the street coming in but we were constantly told to put our bracelets on even if we had them in our bags. We paid too much money to be constantly hounded over a bracelet that wasn’t on our wrist.

Horrible condo.
The room was not kept up. The mattress on the mater bed was shot. I sank to the floor. The dishes were all dirty with food stuck to them. There was a waffle on the floor of the bedroom. Food on the dinner chairs. Over all I felt the room was a dirty mess. Will NEVER stay here again.

Nice place, needs a better cleaning crew. Parking was expensive, be aware that it's 35.00 per vehicle.

Thank you for your review Barry! We are sorry it was not up to our cleaning standards and would have loved to send housekeeping back out to rectify any uncleanliness that was missed. Unfortunately, the parking pass fees are regulated by the HOA's that run the condo buildings themselves and we are unable to purchase them ahead of time to add to your overall price. We hope that you were still able to enjoy your stay with us and look forward to your next trip.

Love the condo. Perfect location for the event we were down for.
Only issue I had was having to purchase parking passes. I will more than likely look to stay in a condo that provides them.

Hi Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're very happy to know that the only issue was the purchase of the parking passes. Unfortunately, the parking pass fees are regulated by the Condo Owners Associations that run the buildings themselves. However, we do have several condos available where the passes are included in the total. You can find view all our properties on our website.

Nice vacation, property is older
Overall we enjoyed our vacation. The check in/check out process was easy. We enjoyed the beachy themed condo however it was not as clean as I would have hoped. The floors were very dirty, there was a water bottle and sock under one of the beds, many dishes were dirty. Repairs are needed as well- the ceiling fan in the master bedroom didn’t work, there was a hole in the screen and the ceiling was was discolored. The smoke detector went off when we used the oven- it needs to be cleaned and overall the property seemed run down. Didn’t deter us from having a good time, but we will look elsewhere for our next visit.

Hi Brenda, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We wish we had know during your stay that you were experiencing inconveniences with cleanliness and the ceiling fan. Our housekeeping and maintenance staff are available to come back to the condo to assist with anything that may have been missed. We appreciate your feedback and are happy to report that the ceiling fan has been replaced. We are pleased that y'all were able to enjoy yourselves and we hope you'll be back soon.

Was okay but in need of some updates.
Overall a good experience. It met our requirements. We liked the indoor pool and the staff was very friendly. Compared to other vacation condos we have stayed in at other beach locations it shows signs of needed updates. The bathrooms were small and the doors did not shut easily. The 2 bedrooms located on the breezeway side were subject to noise. We had a child that went to bed at 8:00 and the noise was a problem to about 11:00 pm.

Great time! Nice place. Has a little wear and tear but great for the price.
Nicely decorated and great room to lounge for many. The twin beds are extremely firm.
