The house was as pictured. It is a little outdated and in need of alot of repairs. It is also for sale. We had people show up wanting to look at the house while we were there. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were spacious for our party of five. The tvs were a little hard to work they did not want to connect to the internet. There was two connections to choose from and one stopped working so we had to troubleshoot it to get it to work. The downstairs bathroom is completely unusable it smells horrendous and was not clean. Overall was a nice stay.

Didnt care
When we arrive to this property everything looked good except for when we opened up the refrigerator to put our food in it that we brought because we decided to rent this property because I had a full kitchen and we could save a lot of money by buying food and eating and cooking at the house we open the refrigerator and it smelled a horrible strong smell of fish rotten fish even the freezer even after we turn the ice maker on and made ice in the freezer it also smelled and tastes like fish it also made the house smell horrible throughout the whole house even after being gone for hours we ended up having to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars in buying food which was not in the budget and eating out for every meal and snack the only thing we were able to keep in the refrigerator was a gallon of tea and a couple of drinks unless they were drinks that were not completely sealed but still then the containers and everything still smell like fish and if you opened it it made the smell worse in the house it actually made my husband gag quite a few times I made this known to the property manager and nothing was ever resolved we were refunded 200 but I feel like the almost 1,000 of food that we had to buy because we had to eat out every meal still does not make up for the inconvenience and the extra money we had to spend and the property manager was rude all she kept saying is since we chose not to use the refrigerator I don't think anyone would want to use the refrigerator we al

The property is a little older but it was clean. My husband and I wanted a place off the grid a little and away from the noise of tourist spots. Plus he wanted to do a lot of fishing.
It was the perfect choice with the private dock and in location. We would definitely look to book here again.

Just what was needed…
We enjoyed our vacation to the Gulf Shores. We will definitely be back. The VRBO was convenient to all necessary items, while at the same time being remote and quiet. The location allowed us to relax enjoy the water or take a short drive to catch the ferry to Dauphine Island, walk at the wildlife refuge or shop at the Wharf.

A sad time for us.
The location was great. but there were small roaches inside. On our arrival we got a phone call that my mother in law had dies. So we stayed one night and then had to travel home. but the coffee maker did not work that morning. I wish we could have gotten some money back or a voucher to use at another time. I understand the rules but a death should be an excuse to get some sort of a refund.

***ROACHES***
If I could give this 0 stars I would.
The only pro of this house was the size and the peir.
The driveway is rutted pretty bad in many spots . The houses on each side of the property are basically falling down. The one home literally has a chunk of tree that collapsed on it. (I know the property manager can't control others properties, but just something to think about since you have no other choice but to stare at the eye soars because the homes are right on top of each other. ) When we arrived at 4 to check in, as soon as we entered the home the floors were still visibly dirty (mainly sand, but still disappointing considering all renters are paying pretty ridiculous cleaning fees.) The 3 bedrooms were carpeted and stained in multiple spots. The fridge worked just enough to keep thing cool (but wait I'll tell you why you don't even want to use the fridge!)
Water pressure for the shower was terrible.
When I originally booked this Vrbo back in January 2023, the reviews were decent (any bad ones were mainly about the downstairs room smelling awful, which we didnt plan to use) After you book a place, why would you keep checking reviews? I should have, because they went down hill FAST. And all about cleanliness. So anyone reading this, the previous reviews from the 2023 year, they are true and in my opinion, people were being too nice in these bad reviews. This place is full of ROACHES. It shouldn't even be continued to be rented out. I noticed a few the first nig

The house was a great size and plenty of space. We also had everything we could need. The house was not as clean as I’d expect (hairs on pillow, shower, misc trash on end table, etc.) and there was a roach issue. All in the kitchen and living area, crawling on the walls, floor, counters and couch. That was unsettling. Aside from that it was a nice house. Though I wouldn’t likely stay again. Thanks!!

Great time!
Our adult son stayed in the downstairs bedroom, I’m not sure if the smell was moldy or just the damp wood paneling, but he was happy there, the bathroom was very small downstairs so we didn’t use it for showers, just for bathroom breaks while fishing and cleaning fish (the fishing was great)! We enjoyed the views the whole time! And it was very peaceful and quiet. No complaints!

Last Minute Fort Morgan Getaway
I hesitated to rent due to the last couple of reviews in regard to cleanliness. Unfortunately, they were right. The place was cute but could have been cleaned better. The carpet needs to be replaced…it is stained up pretty bad. I had to unload the dishwasher from previous guest. That should have been handles prior to my arrival. We did not need the extra room downstairs, which is good due to the smell from that area. The view is beautiful as long as you look straight ahead. Houses on both sides of the property are dilapidated. That’s really a shame. I am one that reads EVERY SINGLE REVIEW and should know better. I would not rent again.

Overpriced for what it is
In terms of real estate they say it’s always about location, location, location. Anywhere within a few miles of the shore is going to be expensive. I get it.
So what do I mean by overpriced? Well, the fees we pay to have it cleaned, the price for the “entire” home was sub par. We got there well after check in time and the people they outsource cleaning to just showed up 10 minutes before we did. Then, when we get settled in the upstairs A/C unit wouldn’t get below 78. It’s a very small home and it was ran by a 2 ton straight AC which should have kept up. Some of the vents were building up condensation which WILL lead to mold FYI for guests staying after July 4th 2023.
There was no air filter in the filter grill, so it’s just pumping dirty air clogging up those coils. Explains the struggle that unit is having. Said something about it (included photos) to the manager and nothing was done.
The downstairs bathroom is a complete joke. You guys have had several other guests complaining about the smell. It’s horrible. They said they would have a plumber come out, no one did. So I had to pay full price for only able using 1 bathroom instead of two. Just a hint, replace the toilet because that’s where the smell is coming from. Bad wax ring and it’s not sealed. Or, convert it into a storage closet because advertising that it’s anything other than a smelly dumpster fire is a lie.
The fridge is old and way outdated and could barely keep our groceries cool.
