But mattress was comfortable.

Beautiful clean condo. The 19th floor was amazing views and cannot complain at all at that. I will advise we were disappointed to walk in to no recliners as advertised in the pictures. The living room pictures do need updated. One member needed a recliner and that was very disappointing. There are no extra supplies, so bring seasonings, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. otherwise wonderful visit.

Very nice, but needs a little attention…

Check in was easy, received code right at 4:00 pm. Went in, we were very impressed. View, breathtaking! Size of rooms, perfect. Areas for attention…we found an earring in the sheets on one of the beds, 2 bed frames VERY UNSTEADY!!! Moved when I moved. The sofa bed was defective, had to do some MacGyver moves to get it out. And two of the bar stools were extremely unstable. My mom almost fell off of one. Other than this, it was very enjoyable. Please address those issues.

Spring Break

The view cannot be beat. Accurate description. No issue with parking. Even if property lot is full there’s additional parking across the street. The only negative I can say is that there was a constant banging that was interrupting sleep. Maybe pipes? It needs to be addressed for sure. Also would have been nice if the swimming pool was heated.

Great stay with two frustrations

A great stay. Excellent property and unit. Clean and spacious. Beautiful view of the Gulf. Two frustrations though: 1) While the mattress in the master was quite comfortable, the frame was extremely squeaky. Any move by my wife or myself was annoying. This should be addressed. 2) I am still digging through my initial booking information, but am almost positive it stated a parking pass was included. Yet a week before received an email that I had to pay for a pass. I followed up and they said sorry for the confusion. Ultimately, I had to pay $50 upon check in for a pass. We'll see if I get reimbursed.

Fabulous stay!

We loved the unit! First, I must compliment the owner for their bed selection. The beds were super comfortable as we all know, this can make or break a vacation. We loved them!! Next, the unit was tastefully decorated and very welcoming! I must recommend investing in kitchenware in non-stick pots and pans! We cooked our meals and I would have to say sometimes felt like outdoor campground cooking! We did take advantage of the outdoor grills on site, but that was a trip! Overall, our stay was very pleasant and we loved the unit!!

What Could Go Wrong

We booked the condo in August. We paid for everything on December 5. On approximately December 20 we were notified by Alabama Vacation Rentals that the condo would not be available (wanted by owner). They would offer 3 condos in area and send link to properties that day. They would honor our price, we would have no additional charge. After 2 or 3 call, they were sent the following week. Day after they were sent, we chose the condo in same building as before. We were told we could only have it for 6 of the original dates. They would refund last 2 days or find another spot for last 2 nights. When it came time to move we were charged $230 for cleaning fee and new parking pass for second property. Condo smaller 2 bathrooms instead of 3 and sleeping arrangements not the same —one person sleeping on couch. Found bedbugs in all beds. At 10:30 pm we were moved to a new condo with only the clothes we had on. We waited until 11:00 the next day to learn that we could retrieve our belongings after 4:00 pm. AL Rentals did pay to ship a suitcase to NY and stated they will reimburse for last 2 days. I will never rent from Alabama Gateway Rentals again!!!

Wonderful condo! Excellent accommodations!

It couldn’t have went any smoother! Loved the ease of check in and check out! Liked getting texts with all info needed! Never had a problem the entire week! The condo had everything we needed for cooking great meals! They even had their own ice machine! We had 7 of us staying there! All of us were immensely pleased with our accommodations! The only thing we would have changed is the lighting over the dining area. It wasn’t bright enough for playing cards and games! We would definitely come back to this condo! It was perfect!!

Spacious condo with beautiful views!

This condo was great! Plenty of space in each bedroom and bathroom. Big kitchen and living room. The patio so comfortable with the wicker furniture. You can sit and watch the sunrise and set. Such beautiful views! The staff that worked in the building was also extremely friendly. They always spoke to us and were very helpful. This is rare these days, so I wanted to mention that too. The only complaint I had was that the beds weren’t comfortable at all. Everyone who stayed with us said their beds were very uncomfortable, too. They also were very loud. Every time you roll over, they squeaked so loud. This isn’t a deal breaker, so I would definitely recommend this place and I would stay there again…. As long as they get new beds. ;)
