May 2024 Beach Get-away

This property is convenient to restaurants, and the room is a beach front property. One elevator but it was very quick with 9 floors in the building. Had a box for beach toys, where the kids could use them and put them back after using them. The pool was nice and clean, with a L-shape for shade from the sun. The parking was tight for a 2500 truck, but made it work. The only thing, when we entered the room, we noticed a damp smell, but they had a dehumidifier and we kept it emptied and sprayed some air freshener and it was fine. Great communication from the owners. Great Place to stay!

Subpar establishment

We always enjoy the beach so that part goes without saying. However the condo really need some upgrade. The stove, refrigerator, and hood vent need replacing It was sad to see nice countertops and backsplash with such old outdated appliances that have rusted and has chips and rust all in it. Some of the dishes were very dirty. The chairs in the dining area are very unsterdy. If there was more care and love put into this place it would be a great place to be. To sum it up. It need some work. We were expecting a gym facility only to find out there wasn’t one and there hasn’t been one in a year or 2. This was one of the reasons we chose the place because we work out and it was perfect for me and my girls. This I felt was false advertisement. When I questioned about it I was told that the property management does not notify them and they were not aware that there wasn’t one. How can u not know that there wasn’t a gym?? The management did send maintenance to come and fix the things that needed to be fixed but I wasn’t pleased that he knocked once and didn’t give us time to come to the door before he barged in and my daughter was not dressed and had to run in the room. That was very unprofessional. We vacation at the beach yearly and by far this is one of the worse experiences we have ever had. IT NEEDS UPGRADING

Nasty!

I'm not one to complain but I am shocked at the condition of this condo, Castaways 3B. I am here with 3 other families who are renting 3 other Castaway condos. Their other units aren't perfect but by comparison and for the same rate, my condo is a complete disaster and disappointment. There's rust throughout the condo: the refrigerator, stove, range hood, vents, all metal is rusted. The toilet is dirty. The mismatched furniture is stained. We covered the couch so we could use it. The chair even covered nobody would sit in. It doesn't feel like the condo had been cleaned but it's so much more than that. It needs maintenance and updates that are not possible while we rented. The cabinets are nicked which I understand can happen in a rental, but they are filthy. It looks like they haven't been wiped down. I'm guessing that paint is all that could save them. It feels extremely unsanitary. There's an open outlet with wires exposed in a bedroom. 2 duct taped bed frames which we didn't realize until my son cut his foot on one. The beach is lovely which is where we are spending the day. The room also smells like mold. 4 out of 6 of us got sick. I can’t help but think it’s something from that room. I am honestly shocked that this unit is able to to rented. I don't feel like it is fair or reasonable to be charged the same rate as the other units. Go else where. I reached out and just got an I’m sorry. I feel like a reimbursement was necessary.

Location great but condo was VERY dirty.

The view and location were fantastic. That said, the condo was dirty, the furniture was worn and dingy, and there was obvious black mold growing in the second bathroom. I immediately contacted Sunset Properties about the black mold and I was told there "was no black mold." I sent them a picture of the obvious splotches of black mold. They said they would "contact the association." However, nothing was done about this while we were there, so we closed off that bathroom and used the master bath for our whole group as the black mold was affecting my lungs. The walls were dingy and stained, the baseboards had layers of dust/dirt. There were also clumps of hair here and there on surfaces which I suspect were from housekeeping using a dirty sponge to wipe things down. That said, Gulf Shores itself is fantastic. We made the most of it and had a great vacation outside of our disappointment in having to share one bath and the less than ideal cleanliness of the condo. We will definitely be back to Gulf Shores but will book a different condo next time.

Girl's Trip, We are turning 60!

We loved the access to the beach and the view from the balcony. The Property Management company was most helpful. The door lock is very hard to work. We called them for help. You have to hit each number just right or it doesn't work. I saw other reviews that mentioned door lock challenges. Sadly the blender was not working. The buttons are rusted. Needs to be replaced. We loved the low # of units. Fewer people during COVID-19 is better. Our section of the beach was less crowded. We cooked all meals in the condo. The kitchen cabinets (inside) need a good cleaning and new shelf paper. Other than that the kitchen was fine; well stocked with dishes, pots and pans. The bedrooms were well appointed and the bathrooms both had double sinks, a big plus. The towels really need to be replaced, but they were clean and well stocked. Overall we had a great time in condo 3B. I would stay there again. I would recommend it to others. Again, Property Management was most helpful. Thanks.

AC STRUGGLE

Upon arrival we noticed the thermostat hanging off the wall and a note beneath it stating. “ don’t set temp below 68 or unit will freeze” So we called they sent someone out. He screwed the thermostat to the wall and then he left. The unit was very warm humidity sweat on everything, but the AC was ‘good to go’. Next morning I called again sent someone out, they cleaned and charged the unit. Tech said “just bump it below 68 to reach desired temp in here”. (Which was backwards from ticker stating not to do so) The unit is still warm that night, so we called again. They sent “a maintenance guy” to look and he said AC is on and it’s cool in there. So we gave up. Not typically one to complain but my spoiled self wants a cool condo at the beach.
