We loved our stay at Grand Beach! It was so clean, had everything we needed to cook and relax. The beach is literally across the street, the beach cart was extremely helpful. The pool and hot tub was so enjoyable. We loved being on the ground floor, so nice to not have to haul everything up and down multiple stairs. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you loved your stay at Grand Beach. It’s great to know you found the condo exceptionally clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, and that the beach cart made your trips across the street to the beach even easier. We’re also glad you enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and the convenience of the ground-floor location.
We truly appreciate you choosing Sands of Alabama Vacation Rentals and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing beach getaway soon!

Thank you for the kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the property, location, and AC. We appreciate the note on the kitchenware and will look into stocking it better for guests who love to cook. Hope to welcome you back again soon! – Sands of Alabama Team
The space is very compact and I cannot imagine having 9 people stay there. We only had 5 and it was tight. The bathrooms/showers could use some updating. The front door is hard to shut. The master bedroom was nice size and the seating outside was a bonus. There was no sound barrier between floors. We could hear every step above us. Location was good and right across from the beach. Most rentals there we’ve stayed in have some beach equipment, beach towels, more than 1 roll of toilet paper and basic spices, this rental didn’t.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the convenient location directly across from the beach, the spacious primary bedroom, and the outdoor seating area.
We're sorry to hear that the condo didn't fully meet your expectations. The maximum occupancy is based on the sleeping accommodations available, but we understand that comfort levels can vary from one group to another. We also appreciate you pointing out the concerns with the front door, bathrooms, and noise from the unit above. We'll share your comments with the owner and our maintenance team for review.
Regarding the supplies, we provide an initial starter set of essentials, including one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, to help guests get settled. As noted in our listing, rental agreement, and pre-arrival information, guests are responsible for bringing or purchasing any additional supplies needed during their stay. Because of health and safety considerations, we also do not leave opened spices or beach equipment in the unit.
We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future.

The condo was beautiful and clean. It covered everything we needed. Parking was convenient. The road between the building and the beach got busy at times, but that was only noticeable when going to the beach or being on the patio.

Thanks for taking the time to review your stay Mary! Upon you checking out there were several issues found in the condo and were surprised you did not let us know. 1. The kitchen granite was stained & we had to pay someone to get the stain out which took us days. 2. The master mattress is completely stained with feces & we had to order a $500 mattress before our next guest arrives. 3. There was feces on the walls in the bathrooms, on the dishwasher and the place was a wreck. We will be pursue collecting the damages through VRBO.
Such a cute condo, walking distance to the beach. Check in and out was really easy and detailed. Clean and ready when promised.
Really loved that there was a beach cart, made our trip that much easier with an infant!

Exactly as described. Clean, beautifully decorated, close to beach. Several things made life eaiser (wagon, laundry basket, vacuum, vinegar for sunburns, lots of bed pillows, keurig). Being on the bottom floor was a big plus, cant imagine lugging beach gear up and down stairs (though the upstairs neighbos were very loud.) Shared facilities nice - grills, pool, beach chairs and toys to borrow and return. Property well taken care of with stocked kitchen. Host is a fast and friendly communicator. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the convenient amenities and thoughtful touches, we try to make our space as comfortable and beach-ready as possible. Being on the ground floor is definitely a perk, and we're glad it made things easier for your stay. We’re sorry to hear about the upstairs noise and appreciate you mentioning it. Thank you again for being such a wonderful guest, we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Location of this property was good for our family. Directly across the road from the ocean and right down the road from the fishing pier, where the boys stayed most of the time. I enjoyed the location to the state park, where I was able to take a morning walk. The property was very clean. It was close proximity to shopping, groceries, restaurants and activities. Also it was within an hour drive to Pensacola Beach where we were able to see the Blue Angels perform and go to the mall. We also took an hour drive to tour the USS Alabama while here. NO RAIN until the very last night when we were already in the room, packing up to leave the next morning. The master bedroom had a very firm mattress for those who enjoy that. We did have to take a TV with us as the bunk room did not have a TV. The only issue we experienced was with this being a ground floor unit, we had to listen to the family above us running and jumping and crying from around 8a til about 11p off and on each day. Unfortunately, the property management for this unit was not the same for the unit above, so there wasn't much that could be done. The property manager was very quick to respond to my messages though, so that was a blessing. Overall, we would return again to this property.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that the location worked well for your family and that you were able to enjoy so many great nearby attractions during your stay. It’s wonderful to know the property was clean and convenient for your needs, and we’re happy you appreciated the quick communication.
We’re sorry to hear about the noise from the upstairs unit unfortunately, as you mentioned, it's managed separately, but we completely understand how that could be disruptive. We appreciate your patience with that.
Thanks again for choosing to stay with us, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future!
Overall, the condo was good, not great. The location was a plus being at the end of condos in Gulf Shores and easy access walking across the street to get to the beach. The communication was great as well, very responsive. Also not too far to drive anywhere. Took a star off as it was too much furniture for the space. I could not imagine using the space for 7 people. We originally were going to have 6 but two canceled last minute. With 4, 2 teens, the space works well. The entry way was tight reducing space for coming back from the beach. The king bed is hard if this is your thing. And since we were on the first floor we could hear everything above including late night restroom use. Also strangely, the night before we left, water came up through the master bathroom floor. Not sure where it was coming from, we did have lots of rain that night. It soaked the bath mat which was dry when we went to bed. Hopefully this is fixed for future use.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the convenient location, easy beach access, and our responsive communication throughout your stay.
We appreciate your comments about the layout and understand that the amount of furniture and the firmness of the king mattress may not suit everyone's preferences. We also recognize that noise can occasionally be more noticeable in a first-floor unit.
We're especially sorry to hear about the water you found in the master bathroom on your last night. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have shared this with our maintenance team so they can inspect the area and address any issues, particularly following the heavy rain.
We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the experience for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again. ~ Sands of Alabama Team
