Family vacation

This is a great place for a family vacation. The beach is just a few steps from the back deck, and the view from the back of the house is beautiful. The beds could use updating as they don't seem to be queen size as advertised, and they aren't very comfortable. We would definitely stay again.

Relaxing Stay

My family had a wonderful time at this lovely beach house! The view was breathtaking, perfect and easy walk to beach right from porch. The couch in the living room is so cozy and perfect for family of 4 watching movies and taking naps. There were more than enough bedrooms and extra beds. Two families could easily stay here together. Both decks were perfect for sitting relaxing eating. Plenty of kitchen equipment for cooking meals. Small details and fixes we recommend but shouldn’t keep anyone from staying: master bathroom caulking had some mold at baseboard edge of tub need to be cleaned up, master bedroom bed was very squeeky and wakes you if you move around too much. Lamp outlets didn’t work. Several outlets around the house did not work and need to be replaced. Closets need hangers OR more shelves to make them more useful closet in the kitchen and bedrooms. If they fix up some of these details we would stay again.

Family gathering

For this trip, we rented both sides of the property. First the good. The location was perfect for us. The view from the porch doesn't get better. There were 22 of us and the house was plenty spacious. We did not want to use the pull out sofas in the living rooms and it was not necessary. We ranged in age from 9 to 90. The beds were average, but comfortable enough. The main complaint for both sides was in the kitchen. If the owner/manager would spend just a little to upgrade a few of the pots, pans and utensils, it would go a long way. For example, the skillets were peeling Teflon and some of the large plastic bowls had holes in them. There was a vacuum cleaner on only one side and it didn't work unless you just used the hose connection. Both sides had a tiny broom which was really the only thing to keep the sand swept up. All that said, everyone agreed we'd go back in a heartbeat!

Great beachfront location. Needs maintenance. The heating on the top floor did not work. That was tough on a cold night (40 degrees). The beds were not clean. The sheets had a lot of body hair. One sheet had a small blood stain.

Not professional

Called the day of check in early to be shure everything was good. Check in was 4 got there no power called was told power would be on shortly 9:38 got a different place and hassled by the local police while trying to find it and got a different property that was not beach front said that was all they had. The following day road the beach and they had multiple beach front properties that were vacant with power. Youngs sun coast is the worst if you're coming to Gulf Shores use someone else
Response from VrboOwner on 30 November 2020
Hi William. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced however based on the notes on your reservation you were given the option to receive a full refund since your stay dates fell within a time frame that a hurricane had just came through. While we cannot turn power on at properties and must rely on the power company to do so we understand how much of an inconvenience this may have caused. The police in the area after natural disasters are alert to possible looters and tend to check out of town guests to make sure they are safe and can find their way around in a time where the roads may be impassable. We tried to correct anything we were able to do but you refused our attempts. Our area sustained a lot of damage and many people lost there homes. We tried to do the best we could to take care of our guests vacationing during that time, with a very limited staff due to circumstances outside of our control.

Girls Trip 2020

We had a great time and liked that the house was right there on the beach, the house was big enough for the 8 people. The only complaint we had was there was not dish soap for the first night for doing pans etc..., after traveling all day no one wanted to go to the store right away and that was something not put in to things to pack with us either. It also would have been nice to have more towels. Other than that we had a great time.

Great Location Dirty House

If you rent this property, realize that you are only paying for the view and the location to the beach. When we arrived, after a 14 hour drive, we scratched our back bumper on a steep drop off from the road to the driveway, they sent people to repair that on Tuesday morning. Then we could not get in, because someone had tried to break in and tore up the door. They sent maintenance to help us get inside. The door was broken, and was never fixed even though we spent 6 days at the property. We were shocked when we walked inside. The house was dirty and the upholstery was worn off of the arms of the chair. The TV remote was missing the select button, so it was difficult to watch TV. There is a beautiful view, if you could see out of the windows. The decks were all very nice. The ceiling fans were fuzzy, and our bedding was dirty in all 4 bedrooms. Youngs Suncoast sent cleaning people to re-clean the house and they sent clean bedding. They also gave us our money back for 1 day, because we were a bit unsettled because of the attempted break in and dirty bedding. We have rented several vacation houses before, and this was by far the worst stocked kitchen I've ever seen. There wasn't even salt and pepper. There was only 1 dish cloth, and 1 kitchen towel in the house, no potholders or oven mitts. The kitchen and appliances were very clean. The whole house is in dire need of updating, the finish is worn off of all of the cabinets. IF YOU RENT THIS HOUSE, BRING ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING FROM HOME, or you will spend a long time in Walmart. There were no lightbulbs in one bedroom and hall bathroom. We asked for lightbulbs on Sunday, maintanence brought them on Wednesday. Our ceiling fan in the master bedroom was so loud, we couldn't sleep, it was fixed on Wednesday as well. The bed frame in the front bedroom is broken. The vent in the hallway is completely covered in fuzz and dust. SO, if you rent this house, realize that the house is dated and needs a good cleaning. The location is phenomenal. It is directly on the beach and close to all the attractions and restaurants, but far enough away from condos that the beach isn't crowded. I'll definitely go back to Gulf Shores, but I wont be staying at the Bonhomme Richard East.
