Love this house and location but Please do some updating
We have stayed In this house multiple times over the past several years and the location and size are perfect for our family…we have loved it but it just keeps getting worse when it comes to cleanliness and things needing to be fixed. Some of the lights did not have bulbs in them like the ceiling fans in bedrooms. The blender had a big crack in it and someone just put scotch tape over it. The ceilings fans and the outlets had a lot of dust on them and there was so much food under the couch. The beds are awful. The box fan they have was broken. Nothing has been updated in the years we have stayed there. We hope they take this review and just maybe fix a few things and update a little because we love the location and home.

It did the trick but had some issues that need fixed
The house is right on the beach with a great view. However, we traveled with a crawling baby, and this house is not recommended for the elderly or babies. The tile floor is cracking, exposing sharp pieces. We moved the living room rug to lie on top due to a sock getting snagged. We were afraid of our daughter's leg getting cut. There were MANY exposed nails and screws that need hammered back down on the deck stairs and the board walk under the stairs. My husband had one cut his foot. The cleaning process must be super quick because there was a condom wrapper under the couch... The communication from the manager is very great, though.

Location was great, house needs an overhaul.
This is the place for anyone who spends all day on the beach, and only comes in at night. The house was spacious for our party of 9, except in the living room. It is an older home, so it needs some upgrading. The photos were very accurate, except for a few things. We came in to find tiles broken and/or loose, along with some water damage spots on the ceiling where the popcorn had come off. During our stay a storm came through that caused the home to sway, then the main door started rubbing the floor and we noticed more tiles loosening. The fridge door didn’t have a handle, only the freezer door, and it leaked. There were also some marks on walls, which can be expected in a rental property, since not everyone treats others properties with respect.The home is not friendly for anyone with walking or balance issues as one stairwell was very steep, and the other was only accessible through loose sand. The mattresses were way too soft and loud for us. The walkway appears in the photos to be for the property, however it is for a condo building across the road. There are no solid walls between the walkway and your vehicles/belongings. We didn’t experience any issues with other beach-goers, but I know it may be a deal breaker for some. Also the driveway was very soft sand that may get small or low riding vehicles stuck. We had our truck wheels spin in it while exiting the property.Overall we enjoyed our stay, but we didn’t spend much time inside.

“No frills” Disrepair
Upon arrival found thermostat set at 67 but temperature reading was 80 inside, no internet and no ability to watch tv and a leaking fridge. Property manager was prompt in responses and communicative but that didn’t fix any of the issues. AC repairman came out that night to refill Freon which promptly leaked out. Went without ac for 5 days. No internet for 4 days. Fridge never got repaired. Got tired of having to complain, got tired of repairmen and issues. They offered us a couple of extra days for free but with work out, uncomfortable beds, hurricane shutters that wouldn’t latch shut keeping us up at night banging in the wind, a ceiling fan that made constant noise, a house that sways with every step, and all of the other issues, who would want to stay longer?! As a consolation prize they refunded 1 night of the rental. Doubtful that even covers my cell phone hotspot usage for the 4 days without internet. At least the next renter will have a brand new ac unit, which is about the only thing in the house from this decade, maybe even this century Location is amazing. House needs way more than just some TLC and updates, it needs a major overhaul. We have visited Gulf Shores/Orange Beach for 11 years in a row, always renting houses directly on the beach so we have seen a lot of what the place has to offer. This one is at the very bottom of the list.

Great family house
My family and I loved this house! We were so happy to find a home steps from the beach and in our price range. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The first night one of the showers was not draining well, we contacted management and they sent someone to fix it the same day. They were on it!
We went in early fall and the street was not busy or loud and we were able to set up on the beach directly in front of the house. Saw dolphins in the morning and a beautiful view of the sunrise/sunset. We plan to visit again!

Great location.
Amazing beach access. Spacious home, great location. Very minimal kitchen accessories though, not even salt and pepper. All of the beds upstairs were very uncomfortable. Most of us ended up sleeping on the floor or the couch cushions. If the mattresses are replaced/updated then we would definitely book here again.

1969 is more than just an address
1969 is more than just an address, it’s also the motif of the house. Old. Dated. Shocking since it was built in the 90’s.
Six week later Laura B’s feedback is still relevant. The homeowner does not seem interested in the suggestions the property management company is making.
The cons: The kitchen is minimally stocked at best, no sponge, no salt & pepper. The house rocks in the wind, it feels scarier than it actually is structurally, but it’s a fairly easy fix. The metal straps under the house are all heavily rusted, this house would not be save in severe weather. The windows do not open, they actually have old notes written on them, so it’s not a new problem. The blinds do not have stings to go up & be able to have a clear view of the ocean from the master. The windows are very dirty/dated & they have some kind of film over them. The only light in the master bedroom is the lamp on the nightstand. The lights in the fan do not work. The TVs are very dated - think big box (our kids didn’t know what they were), it would be better to have one nice TV in the living room & none in the bedrooms. While sweeping the deck I found a raiser blade.
Pros: the management company was very responsive. We needed help with a drain in the shower & they came same day. The location is legit, perfect to get to town & great for the kids with the beach. If you have feral kids, like we do, there is very little your kids could do to this place that would be noticeable.

Excellent location
Lotus Blossom was the perfect spot for our family vacation with 6 adults and 4 small children. The location is very convenient to everything, yet just far enough from the very busy areas with the condos. The beach was much less crowded, and that made it more enjoyable for us, especially with young children. The short distance from the house to the beach was a pleasant surprise! We have stayed in many other houses in that area, and this one was the closest for hauling all of our stuff to the beach.
The queen bed in the bunkroom and the queen bed in the bedroom without a bath upstairs would be better if the mattresses were thicker, like the one in the front bedroom upstairs. A king sized bed would be ideal in one of the bedrooms also, but overall, we were happy with the house, and really enjoyed our week there.
We would rent this property again.

Location is great. Bunk beds need mattresses-no one would sleep on them. Adequate kitchen-but need that large pot for spaghetti / shrimp. A few improvements outside (fence) would approve appearance. We did get deck chairs delivered while there. There are no chairs on upper deck. Would rent again but would expect improvements over this stay

We had a fantastic time at the Lotus Blossom. The house was clean & comfortable. The location was fabulous, directly on the beach. We had read reviews so we knew to bring our own chairs for the deck area & beach. It was perfect for our family and we hope to return soon.
