Grandma birthday
Grandview was at a great location in Gulf Shores, Alabama, somewhat secluded since it is located at the further end of the peninsula facing the Gulf. It definitely was a large house able to accommodate a large family. But it does need quite a bit of upkeeping and proper maintenance as it is run down and posed some safety issues.
1. Unsafe parking: one of our van had to be towed out of the sand in front of the house by AAA truck
2. The floor is uneven at all doorways into bedrooms/bathrooms which is a huge liability issue, definitely a hazard. One of our elderly guest tripped walking from the balcony back into the house and almost fell flat on her face if it had not been for a chair nearby which brakes her fall.
3. Both refrigerators were barely functional and we ended up losing a lot of our food including steaks which became spoiled and had to be thrown away.
4. Both upper and lower floor's backdoor cannot be locked because it was so worn out that the lock would not latched.
5. Dryer downstairs does not work, quite inconvenient.
6. Dishwasher metal bar handle barely attached and had to be reattached several times, then fell off completely. Thank goodness it did not hurt anyone's foot when it fell off.
7. The door into one of the bedroom upstairs could not be closed because it is too close to the floor.
8. Rusted shower curtain bar really should be replaced as it is very unsightly in a million dollar house.
Overall, the property has much potential and we did enjoy our stay.
