Ok, so some of my main points:
1. CLEAN. This may be the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever used. As a crazy cleaner myself, everywhere I stay, I look at the bathroom ceiling fan… more often than not, if you look up, you can see the bathroom fan COATED in dust...not here! This place was SPOTLESS.
2. LOCATION: We were within about a 5-10 minute drive of anything we could possibly need. There’s a Walmart and grocery store just down the road, which really came in handy!
3. CONDO: What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get! Not a single bad view. Beds were very comfortable (sheets were super soft!). Plenty of room for all 9 of us! Great kitchen and wet bar. Everything worked WONDERFULLY! All of our mornings consisted of coffee and mimosas on the deck. It was a little chilly the week we visited, but we just cuddled in blankets and got lost in good conversation and our spectacular view!
Check-in/Check-out: Very good. Check-out was particularly great. Generally, using a rental, we’ve had quite a bit of cleaning/prep-cleaning duties before we leave. All we had to do here was throw used towels in the tubs, take out the trash, and start the dishwasher (and obviously lock up after ourselves)!
4. Concerns from previous reviews: We were worried about wait time for the elevators.. never waited longer than 3-4 minutes TOPS (and we were here during Spring Break!). Cookware not being too great was another review we had read… all cookware/appliances worked great! Another reviewer complained about the drapes in the bedrooms, as it gets light in the bedroom early.. they were right, light does come through, but to be honest, it’s how you decide to look at it. You’re in an EASTERN CORNER CONDO. The sun rises right before your eyes over the ocean. Take advantage of this! Some of the prettiest sunrises you’ll see! If you do not like an eastern-facing unit, really think about that before you book… or, bring a sleep mask. :)
5. Communication! I cannot stress enough how amazing the owners were about communicating with us via text! I always got an answer within minutes. I was very grateful, because this was our first trip out, so we were going in a little blind.
10/10 rating!
Thank you, Alabama Getaways, for an AMAZING trip! We hope to be back soon!
