A nice location for us

The unit was in a nice location close to Gulf State Park so we could ride our bikes there without loading them on our bike rack. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pans and appliances. The furniture in the living room was a little worn like most vrbo houses but livable. The manager was responsive to the couple unforeseen issues that came up during our stay and these things were repaired or replaced quickly.

We flew in to Pensacola and it was just a little drive to the house. It was easy to check in. The house was beautiful and exactly as described. The beach was close and easy to access. Our trip was wonderful and Our Refuge was perfect for our trip. Mini golf was close, many places to eat were near. Great location and great experience.

Perfect venue!

The property was great and exceptional decor was a nice touch. We had a total of 9 people at the property (2 families). 4 adults and 5 kids under 12 years of age. The pool on location was our go to for the kids, but the short walk to the beach wasn’t too shabby either. Enjoyed the week and would definitely come back for more!

Beautiful Beach House!!

This house is absolutely stunning! The pictures don’t do it justice. The extra touches like coffee stations in the bedrooms and the huge binder of restaurant recommendations with menus provided really put this house above the rest! The location is great is in the middle of it all but still provides a quiet, relaxing environment. This house is definitely a place we will stay again!

Quite get away in Gulf Shores

Liked the property, we did have an issue with some blown fuses, but it was quickly addressed by the folks that maintain the property. The property is nice and clean but maybe a little far from the beach for me, requiring us to drive to the designated parking area due to all the beach parafernalia (Canopy, Chairs, Coolers, games etc.) I loved the check-in and check out changes from the last trip to the area. Everything worked seamlessly.

Our Refugee

Our unit wasn’t on schedule to be cleaned before we checked in but I talked with someone and they sent housekeeping out immediately. The housekeeper was very nice and kids friendly. She did an amazing job. She left the house neat, thorough, and efficient. The house smelled wonderful. I was very pleased with her service and will be back to stay again.

The house was great had everything we needed except the ice maker didn’t work. Reported and was told a service person would come but not repaired while we were there. We were there for a month. Everything else was good.

Perfect Family Get-Away!

Our Refuge was the perfect spot for our family of 6. Everyone was so impressed from the first walk-through until our last day. The kitchen was fully stocked, the walk to the beach was 5 minutes, and there was a store even closer in case we needed to grab anything real quick. We had a great view of the Gulf from both balconies as well. :) We also used some of the beach supplies that were there at the house for people to use during their stay, which proved fun and helpful. The decor was perfect. This was our kids first time seeing the ocean, and the beachy decor was very fitting for their overall experience. The bunks and the stuffies that were there for kids were perfect. The pool was amazing- we used it every day. Very warm and always clean. We will be back!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The realtor was awesome and answered texts ASAP. However, the house was dirty. Bed linens were all stained. We had to wash all of the bedsheets annd comforters ourselves. Shower curtain in the main floor bedroom had yellow stains. The toilets were stained. The bedside tables had stained rings all over them. The chair and couch in the living room had stains all over them. Maybe some kids had a party there before we arrived, but everything had stains all over. The dishes were dirty. The housekeeper was admittedly late to clean and was there well after we checked in which also could speak to the cleanliness of the house, but she left without addressing any of the above issues. House location was great. Super easy walk to the beach and multiple restaurants around.

Disappointed

Nice place to stay however, lighting struck our place the first night there. Lots of damage done within the condo. We had workers in and out almost the whole week. We were not able to leave the condo. Loss of work time. With our jobs because of no internet connection until the last day. Trying to work with the owner but no response as of yet We are very disappointed

The owner was very involved in restoring all the power. It cost thousands of dollars to replace everything. While internet is important, I believe this family still had a great time at the beach.
