Let me start by saying, I grew up in Gulf Shores cleaning condos/beach houses for my parents rental company during the summers. I am not a stranger to preparing a beach rental property for guests. Shabby is acceptable but it HAS to be clean. I am appalled at the condition of this house and the money we paid to stay. The owners should be ashamed of themselves and the property management company (Vacasa) they hired to manage this property. A property assessment is needed immediately. The house was disgustingly dirty. Every piece of upholstered furniture needs replacing as well as bedspreads and pillows. Sheets had roach legs on them as well as a live roach in between the sheets of the master bedroom. Remnants of the past guests were visible all over the house (fruit gummi’s on the floor in one bedroom, a bird feather on the floor in the living room, pasta sauce splattered over the wall in the dining room and no telling what was under the couches). Half of the lights in the bedrooms don’t work. There were broken chairs that were a danger to our two year old, and you were hard pressed to get the upstairs hall shower to work without pulling the faucet off the wall. Upon arrival the kitchen faucet water had been turned off under the sink to hide the excessive running of the cold water. Maintenance had to be called immediately. Cookware, dishes were broken and dirty. Ice maker needs cleaning. Raised screws on the back deck. The carpet, especially in the living room is filthy. If you take these reviews seriously, then please take note and reach out for additional information. If you don’t then shame on you as well. On an end note, the view is as breathtaking as described and the HVAC and hot water heater were more than acceptable.
