Great condo. So convenient to the beach and pool. Great location. We love this place. Second time here. Some repairs were needed on the first night. They responded quickly and took care of everything. Very pleased and will be back.

Neutral on this rental.Pros: Beachside, relatively affordable, unit appears newly remodeledCons: older building (unit is nice), I had to get a bit gruff with the rental company asking for a simple garbage bagIn fairness, the properly is listed as 'no frills' - I asked the rental company for one garbage bag so I didn't need to go buy a full box and had to push them on it. It was a bit frustrating, but otherwise, decent property. With the age of the building, the walls are paper thin.

The condo was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well equiped. Very close to Gulf State Park and restaurants and grocery. The property is still recovering from Hurricane Sally, but that did not affect our stay.

Autumn, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us at ALBVR. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again in the future.
Pictures of the unit were accurate. Unit was clean. Bed comfortable. Always able to find parking in the lot. Nice location, multiple grocery stores are 10-15 minutes away. Close to Pensacola-45 minute drive. Beach is beautiful. 2 Chairs with Umbrella rentals 45 a day. Wifi was slow. There is a slight musty smell in the unit but it’s close to the ocean. Balcony is one floor above the pool. However you don’t hear much noise when doors to balcony are closed. If you want to sit outside on balcony, you have to enjoy listening to the pool activities.
The beach is our happy place, we always have the best time. I loved the location- though the beach was crowded being a holiday week, we were in a less crowded area.
The condo had everything we needed to get our week started!
I saw a review somewhere stating there were only two bath towels - there were more under the bathroom sink!😉

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. Our team will assess the property as our goal is to ensure each guest thoroughly enjoys their vacation with no interruptions.
I loved the view from our balcony and the private pool/access to the beach. The keyless entry on one of the gates doesn't always want to work but it wasn't a huge issue. I did not like how the entire apartment smelled heavily of mildew, the carpet in the bedroom needed to be shampooed, the area rug in the living room was dirtier than the outdoor area rug on the balcony. It just didn't feel clean enough, considering there are numerous walks of life that come in and out of the apartment continuously. The refrigerator did not work. I called the office and let them know it did not get cold, she offered to send maintenance but I declined and opted for using coolers instead. She did tell me she would have maintenance fix the issue after we left. I realize being that close to the water and having such humid air all the time probably resulted in the mildew smell and that smell is probably a common issue for people who live close to the ocean but I would suggest a dehumidifier in every unit. A dehumidifier would greatly reduce the water in the air and probably prevent the smell and prevent things from feeling damp. Also, the keyless entry for the unit is 10 digits long so I hope you have a good memory. The amount of nonrefundable money I paid for this unit for 8 nights was ridiculous and I really just expected more, especially considering I was told in the renters agreement that I have to clean up after myself and take out the trash or I would be charged.

I stayed here for the month of January and overall found this to be a good value. The condo was clean, and the view was excellent. Sound proofing was not great, the kitchen was lacking some necessities (like sheet pans) and the exterior hallways and elevator are not in good shape. All in all a good place to ease into retirement.
We stayed here in 2020. It was clean smelt nice and was a good bang for the buck! We decided to return to the same spot this year because we had such a nice time in 2020.
NOT THIS TIME.
This time we were tremendously disappointed. The bunk beds had sand in them. The floors, dirty. There was a black spot above the door in the bedroom. The furniture is so old and wore out. And to top it off the moment you open the door this awful smell hits you. We will never return to this condo.
Great place for location to pool and Gulf. Very easy to check in and good parking. Unit was cleaned well but it is older. Various lightbulbs were burned out. Our 6yo really enjoyed the bunks. Very family friendly building. A bit too far to walk to restaurants in the heat!
