Honeymoon Trip 6/15-6/22

When we first arrived on the property it seemed fine, We didn’t really do a thorough inspection. However, a few days into the trip that’s when we noticed a few things. The first thing was behind the bed (which was not very sturdy) was ANIMAL FECES looked like a cat. Gross! The second thing was the broken plug by the bed with exposed wires. The third thing was the crack in the wall by the sink that allowed for tiny ants to pop out say and hello whenever food was around. We did however like that was remote (by the beach, close to restaurants, local stores.)

Disliked: Cleanliness
*****DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY*****Pull out bed incredibly squeaky. Oulet broken in bedroom.Incorrect remote for tv in bedroom.Popcorn ceiling coming off in bedroom and water stain on ceiling in kitchen above refridgerator.Floors disgusting, and overall lacking basic cleanliness. Dishwasher falls out when racks are open.Oven door missing screws so not entirely secure. Poor communication and lack of care from the on site property managment as these issues were brought up when we arrived and when we had only a day and half left of our trip they offered to have the room cleaned.No child locks on doors. I have stayed in this area many times and this is the first time ive encountered a place this dirty. The saving grace was that the location is great. I would have looked past all the other things mentioned if they would have taken care of the cleanliness as soon as it was brought to their attention. If you have young children who crawl or play on the floor i'd steer clear of this place. We wore shoes the entire time inside because if not our socks and feet were looking like we belonged on the flintstones.

Affordable condo

Nice place. Complex is older but not bad. Great pricing. Easy beach access. Balcony faces street side so not ideal for relaxing but as stated, the price is right. Nice pool but could use more frequent attention with leaves and pine needles removed but not overcrowded. Pool access can’t be beat, it’s right at the bottom of steps and parking. Some restaurants within walking distance. All in all, pleasant experience.

Not really satisfied

Pros: Great location right near the beach. Beach is extraordinary clean and beautiful. Cons: This “First Floor” condo requires you climb a flight of stairs. Although Amenities list Washer/Dryer, they are down a flight of stairs, across a courtyard where you pay to wash and dry your clothes. Furniture while fairly clean is worn out. You sink deeply into it. Good luck getting up. Summary: Ok for a short visit, but not a very comfortable place to stay. I give it a 2 out of 10.

Weekend Getaway

Our stay here was great. Unfortunately it was a quick trip. The location was perfect and it was good for the price. The code worked on the door every time and we had no issues with check in! The only things that could be improved would be the light switches working in the front entrance/living room and the beach chairs were broken.

We were there for our anniversary and for the most part we had a great time. The beach was amazing .

The place was nice and we enjoyed the two recliners. The only problem we found was with the bed. One side was too close to the wall which made it hard for one of us to get out of the bed in the middle of the night. We thought about moving the bed over some but then it covered up the electrical outlet.

Our stay at Ocean Reef Condo in Gulf Shores

Everything in general was as described with many positives. Two areas could be improved that would have made a 5 star great stay. 1. Floors were vacuumed but needed to be mopped. 2. Bed was below average both mattress and support. Would stay here again but would inquire about these 2 points before booking.

The cozy condo was great for a visit to the beach. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed and furniture were very comfortable, the pool looked nice, and the beach was just steps away. The location was within walking distance of shops and restaurants.

Short vacation

This trip was great and this place will be an amazing return trip AFTER the construction is done. There were workers all over during the day. One morning I was woken up by one of them yelling on my balcony. It’s a very lovely place but the construction definitely put a damper on things.
