Upon arrival, at first glance, all looked good.It was very nicely decorated. It appeared to have what we needed for a three nights stay. As is typical with any Vrbo we took pictures of the condo upon arrival and departure to avoid any possible problems.This condo is across the street from the water. Not beach front. Our issue was mostly due to a less than a thorough cleaning.One set of bedding had what appeared to be blood stains. We swapped it out with the bedding from the second bedroom. Dirty cups in the cabinet and a dresser drawer had underwear and socks in it. We didn’t have any directions on how to operate the heat or A/C. We finally figured it out. At around 11:30pm we found a notice on our truck that without a vehicle permit we would be getting towed. In reviewing our check in instructions we didn’t see anything about a parking permit. We started digging around in the condo and we are happy to report that we did find a permit! That would have been a bad vacation if our vehicle were to have been towed away! We reported these things to the owner/manager and we were told that they would have been happy to help us with the above listed issues but because 24 hours had passed we were told there was nothing they could do. That felt as though it didn’t matter to them. We checked in at 1:30pm on Saturday and reached to management around 3:30pm on the following Sunday. All we really wanted was to know where more clean sheets might be.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Oct 2026
We take guest feedback seriously and are committed to maintaining a clean, accurately represented property. However, several claims in this review require clarification.
The individuals staying at the property were not the guests listed on the reservation, and communication occurred through a third party rather than directly with the occupants. We encourage guests to make reservations under their own accounts to ensure clear communication and accountability.
Our standard cleaning process includes a complete video walkthrough of the condo and photographs of linens after every turnover for quality assurance. We have no documentation or evidence supporting the allegation of bloodstains. We do apologize that a previous guest inadvertently left socks and underwear in a drawer.
When notified of cleaning concerns, we immediately offered to send a different cleaner. Hours later, we received a response indicating the guests were fine and additional cleaning was unnecessary. Direct, timely communication would have allowed us to address concerns more effectively during the stay.
For clarity, our listing does not advertise the property as beach-front or Gulf-front. The owner's private closet is also restricted and not available for guest access. AC unit had how-to labels next to thermostat.
We stand behind our documented cleaning procedures & accurate property description. While we acknowledge the overlooked personal items, we believe reviews should fairly reflect the facts.
The host was amazing! We got down early & she let us check in which was amazing since we had kids with us. The place was beautiful & very clean. We had a blast and will definitely be booking with Meghan again!
Updates throughout, convenient to everything. The host, Megan, was so easy to communicate with and even allowed us to check in early. This was our first time staying across the street from the beach, and the walk was super easy. Price can't be beat.
My family and I had a great vacation in Gulf shores. This property is located only a short walk across the street to the beach. There was great communication. Anytime I had a question, they were quick to respond. This property is also a quick drive to all things happening in Gulf Shores! Highly recommend.
Phenomenal ! Truly exceeded our expectations, You know when you are in place as a guest and you instantly know you are a “get their cash and get them out guest” This is NOT that condo. My Family loved all the small details packed into this Condo, from the beautiful artwork, the board games for the rainy days. The extra plush bedding and plenty of extra blankets. I felt like the owner went above and beyond to make our stay feel easy and welcoming! It’s the extras that count and make a worlds of difference and this condo hit that mark 100% !!! 10/10
This place is 10 out of 10. The location is wonderful. Just a very short stroll to the beach and our favorite restaurants. The condo was immaculate. Very clean and had some of the best and most comfortable beds that we’ve stayed in. Megan the host, has been very helpful with recommendations, and great communication when we were scheduling our stay. I would recommend this to any of our family and friends going down to Gulf Shores. We will definitely be back again.
