In desperate need of some maintenance and a new mattress!

Let me start by saying the location was great! And the pool was nice enough. Having to walk across the street for pool and trash eh no biggie as long as it’s clean and comfortable right?! However, we found someone else’s socks in one bedroom and cans wrappers in the other. One toilet didn’t flush but ran and you had to wait to flush again for it to go down. The ceiling fans were literally almost falling from the ceiling and made some scary noises every few minutes. There was a hole in the bathtub and a large hole in the paint above the tub. All of the furnishings were cheap and very worn. …and the mattress was enough to cancel the stay all together it was well past its life span and you could feel every single spring. It could be a great place with a little TLC and maintenance and a new mattress!

Great Trip

I honestly thought we were across the street, so being beachside was an amazing surprise! We came in later in the night and we were confused but got it figured out quickly, and when we came up it was to the back door on accident, and getting everything figured out was so great, even though it was almost 11 at night!! the property was great!! we will definitely be back!! Thank you.

Cheap place. No frills. None..

And not by the pool....pool is across 4 lane hwy....this condo is on beach side..nice. But not good for kids who want to be in the pool all day And pool has no public bathrooms.... expected to run back and forth to condo... ridiculous... No usable tap outside to clean sand off .... Good beach Just basic run down low rent condo...like an old super 8 or other cheap hotel. The pics are kinda true....just very old. This condo would be great if they maintained it...I loved the location... Hate that the pool isn't near... Just a cheap place by the beach

Sun and Sand

Property was a great location! Just a few steps from the beach. The place needs to be updated. The sheets were old and had holes in them. Both showers need a plumber. We didn’t do any cooking but we noticed the pots were in terrible condition and needed to be replaced. The laminated floor was old and tired, it needs to be replaced! The location of the property made up for the poor condition of the property.

Quick Getaway

We enjoyed our quick getaway to Gulf Shores. The location was perfect!! We were so close to the water! It was easy to get on and off the beach and we could walk to shops, restaurants, and the mini mart. The pool was fine but it was located across the busy street so we didn't have easy access to it. The condo itself was dated and needs a lot of TLC--every wall needs to be painted. It was fine for just me and my husband because we were on the beach all day. But, although I thought it had been cleaned well prior to our arrival, it didn't seem to matter because no amount of cleaning could help the poor condition of the floors and the dated bathrooms/kitchen. The pantry was also kind of gross and had a smell. Overall, it was fine for our short stay but there are needed improvements!

Motel 6 is probably nicer...

This was the lowest quality place we have ever stayed. We were there with our four small children. The doors entering were covered in rust and significant corrosion, concerned about our kids getting hurt on them. The hinges on the gates to the stairs were also sharp and rusted. The dishes were horribly worn, old food drips on and in EVERY pot and pan, the shower head was horrendous with corrosion- I tried to turn the head because the spout was on par with a bucket bath and then it sprayed out horizontally out of the side of the showerhead and into the bathroom. The king mattress was comfortable... because there was a large, very stained old mattress topper with no mattress pad. The linens were also stained in multiple places. GROSS AND GROSS! The toilet in the common bathroom had a large blue splash of sticky old cleaner covering half of the seat! There were other concerns also, no knob on the bedside lamps to turn off and on, large broken Sheetrock places especially in window seal, not all burners working on range. Floor peeling especially at entrances, rust and debris on old air vents. The location is really nice, not having to cross the street especially with children, but we felt the accommodations were a safety hazard in itself.

Desperately needs updating. Water leaks into the kitchen when it rains. Close to the beach though.

The parking area under the unit was flooded upon checkin, but not unusable. Was able to get into the unit without issue. The door was very difficult to get to close with the deadbolt though, needs fixed or replaced. Also, they threaten you with a $25 fee if you don't haul your trash across the busy street to the dumpster before you leave. What's the cleaning fee for? Unit seemed clean enough, did find a used bandaid on the floor in one of the bedrooms though. The carpets needed replaced about 10 years ago, very stained and worn. I assumed they were cleaned, but tried to keep our stuff off the floors. Everything in the unit is just old and not well maintained. Day 2 it rained all day and water started leaking into the kitchen in about 5 spots. Down the cabinets, walls, through a crack next to the ceiling light. Put down towels and pots/pans to try and catch as much as possible and called the property manager (Vacasa). They offered to move us to a new unit, unfortunately it was about 35 minutes away. My wife spent quite a bit of time on the phone back and forth to try and come up with a solution. We ended up staying a second night in this unit so they could put us in a new unit close by for the last 2 nights of our trip (the alternative suggested was to move twice). No compensation since they considered this a free "upgrade". We had to spend an extra $45 to park at the new unit when we arrived. Stay away from this unit specifically, and Vacasa properties as a whole.

Beach Steps Away

The room was clean. The beach was steps away from the room and the parking was very convenient. There was a pretty good view from the side patio of the beach. The condo next door has a slide so we enjoyed watching the people using it while we sat on the patio. The room was cold and the refrigerator and freezer were good. You have to cross 4 lanes of traffic to go to the pool and to take out your trash. It's a very no frills condo and hasn't been updated in years. The carpet is very worn and stained and should be replaced. It served it's purpose for our family.

Great beach access

I wasn’t sure from the pictures how close it was to beach, but you are on it! Perfect situation for kids! The complex was quiet, very clean but older. Check in and out was a breeze. Cooking supplies provided but no extras like coffee filters, salt and pepper, stuff that is sometimes leftover in rentals. Great experience overall, good area, and can’t beat the closeness of the beach!

Love Lani Kai 129

We love Lani Kai 129. This is our second stay here. The location is amazing and we love our view. Just steps to the beach with all the amenities we need. A few suggestions - the shower heads are a little dated and the water pressure isn’t bad, the heads could just be better. The deck had a few nails coming up which was rough on our feet. My husband found a hammer and pushed them back in and we just wore flip flops on the deck. Updating the decor would be nice, but not necessary. Example, the carpet is worn & the blinds are broken in spots. We love the separate bedrooms/bathrooms for parents/kiddos and there are an amazing amount of bath towels! We plan to come back soon!
