Simple but Nice

We enjoyed our stay at this unit. It is small but comfortable. It has everything we needed for a weekend stay. Definitely not feasible for more than two people, in my opinion. Its close to everything and perfect for a single person or couple who need a quiet getaway.

Decent for the price

Our stay was overall pretty ok. The sofa bed did feel pretty unstable and the leg that held it up felt like it was going to slip out at anytime. Also underneath the mattress protector of the sofa bed, the mattress was disgusting. Sand and other debris all underneath it. There was little black hairs on some of our shower towels. There was a dust pan but no broom?? So any sand that we tracked it we couldn’t clean up ourself which was pretty annoying. The walk to the beach is short and convenient.

Not worth the money!

This unit has not been well taken care of. It is in need of a deep cleaning and needs many repairs and updates. The couch is filthy and stinks. Upon arrival the floor was dirty and sandy. I would not recommend this unit!

False Listing

This is the absolute worst condo I’ve ever stayed in. This listing says it’s recently renovated. Nothing in the place is renovated. All of the furniture is from the 90’s, which would be fine if it was in good shape. Kitchen cabinet door almost fell off the wall when opened, towel rack fell off the wall when a towel was pulled off of it. Trash on the floor, stained pillowcase, both of our windows were opened when we checked in…weird. Paint cans in the closet where you keep clothes, paint peeling off of the kitchen mirror. First condo I’ve ever stayed in that didn’t provide coffee. Pictures barely hanging on the wall. Chipped paint on all of the walls. Just ridiculous!

Not Good

First thing you notice is the strong possibility of black mold covering and next to most of the A/C vents, toilet seal repaired with caulking, bathroom outlet with side cut off to fit next to the backsplash possibly allowing water intrusion into the junction box, water spraying in the air from the kitchen faucet, small bugs on the kitchen counter. There was nothing the repairman could do but give a report of these issues to his boss. He said they would have to replace the entire ceiling to get rid of the mold.

Beautiful place!

Wonderful place to vacay! The Condo was perfect for two people! Very clean, short beautiful walk thru the courtyard straight to the sand! More of a private beach compared to the Public beach in Gulf Shores! Wonderful time of year with great weather! Will definitely be back!

March 2021 Beach Trip

The unit is older including the furniture, the bed was super creaky and made noise with every slightest movement, and you have to climb in the end as it it surrounded by wall space. There’s a hole in bathroom door. We had small ants on kitchen counters when we arrived and sand was on the floors. Woke up one night to a small lizard on the dresser by the bed. Cable tv never worked we tried calling several times and sent email but never got through or heard back from anyone. There’s lots of construction and areas are blocked including lots of parking around the complex. The pool area was nice and clean as well as the beach. Overall we still enjoyed ourselves and tried to make the best of our trip. Just tried to not spend much time in room. Would of liked better communication when we tried to reach out before and even during our trip.

Too small to be comfortable.

The view was good. The bed alcove was so small it was impossible to walk beside bed. Had to crawl on from bottom. Couch tilted forward and felt would slide off it. Little drop leaf table was full of sand. TV provided almost nothing to watch without paying.

Perfect for a Girls’ trip

This was a small condo perfect for a weekend away for the moms. The space provided a full kitchen appropriately sleeping for 3 adults. The Plantation is a wonderful property that offers pool and restroom access and is right on the Gulf. The beaches were beautiful! Can’t wait to return.

Only one bad apple

Condo was nice but the pictures were a little misleading as the unit is not on the beach. One of the cleaning ladies, Faye, was mean and threatening in front of my kids. The rest of the staff were warm and friendly including the manager, Robert, and the security guys st check in

No property manager on duty. Locked out of our condo.

Payed for a late checkout until 7pm and when we got back to the condo we were locked out. No one would help us including the number provided by Homeaway. Their response was “sorry, we tried to reach someone and couldn’t. We don’t know what the problem is” we’re screwed. Then they lied to us and said they called and they didn’t! So maddening I may never use Homeaway again.
