This condo had everything we needed, the view was fantastic. The location was great. The walkway to the beach was really nice, no stairs which is super convenient when you have a loaded down beach wagon. The only complaints I can even come up with are that it was a little dated (I was a little surprised it took actual keys and not a key code to access, no big deal) and the parking was pretty tight and cost 40 for the stay, a bit of a bummer but not a deal breaker! All in all it was great.

Overall, the condo was nice. The washing machine was VERY LOUD and the living room furniture was not very comfortable. This was our 5th year staying at Ocean House 1, but the first time in this unit. The location is perfect.

Gulf Shores Ocean House

Great stay. The pool (very large)was amazing! Plenty of room for everyone there. The beach had plenty of space. There was a constant stream of people in and out of the complex but we never waited over a minute for the elevator! Only minor issue was that there was a strong odor coming from the kitchen sink that we never eliminated. Would still gladly recommend this place.

The beach is right there!

The view from this condo is breathtakingly beautiful! It's very close to the shore, closer than any we've rented in the past. If you want to be close to the water, this is a great choice. This condo building is a bit older, has that old building smell, but it's clean and gets good care. The elevator stopped working while we were there, but maintenance was quick and took care of it right away. The people were friendly and no contact check-in and check-out was simple and easy. I would not hesitate to stay at this condo again!

March at the beach.

We stayed for 3 weeks. The condo was great. Kitchen was well stocked, maybe a little too much. The extra item we didn't need we stored in a closet. Guess better to have more than not enough. Beach view from the patio was closer than any thing we have previously stayed at. The only negative I have is with the complex and not this unit. The garbage truck comes around 6:30am and is very loud in the 2nd bedroom. The master bedroom you don't hear it. Great place would recommend.

Check in was horrible. Harley would not give me the address to the office. She said she couldn't release that info until 3. Mind you i was 5 1/2 hrs away. After i begged she said she would text it to me, she couldn’t say it she had to text it. It was absolutely terrible the wY she spoke to me. My kids were horrified as they heard bc i had her on speaker. Other than her, everything was great.

Thank you for the review. We're glad to hear this guest enjoyed their stay with us. We would love to host them again and hope they reach out for their next visit. We apologize for the rules in place, but we typically do not provide the property address until housekeeping has confirmed the unit is ready. In the past, when we’ve shared the address early, guests have sometimes arrived without parking passes, which can result in fines or towing. Additionally, if guests arrive before check-in, housekeeping is required to leave immediately, which prevents them from completing a thorough cleaning of the unit. At Gulf Shores Rentals, we are always looking to improve our properties to ensure an enjoyable stay for our guests. Thank you! - Gulf Shores Rentals

The condo was nice and the location great, but the security left a lot to be desired. Especially after you had to pay for a parking pass that no one was ever there to check. It took over 3 hours for someone to show up and to take your money. And you were the one that had to track them down - it should have been after you called the building to let them know you were there - they found you once help arrived. One afternoon the guy was asleep in the guard house and didn't even hear us knocking on the door (to pay for the parking pass you were required to have or be towed).

Nice location but the building needs updates

The room it’s self was just what we needed but the building was older. The front office smelled of smoke, the building had peeling paint and in front of the property there were pillars in the water that ended up cutting the kids legs. It’s not the condo owners fault but they need updates to the property its self. Having to stop on the busy street to get the keys was super annoying and should be put into the description of the condo. The key didn’t work unless it was perfectly aligned. Keyless entry would be a nice upgrade.
