There should be steps for this bed, it sets very high. The bathroom is very small with a small step in tub that is only good for a shower.

Honestly, this was the worst stay I have ever experienced in gulf shores. First off, I was told maintenance would be coming by Friday morning and was told by a person named Taylor? That she would contact me that they were in my room and I never heard a word from her so that was sketched Then, Saturday night I was locked out of my condo and the after hours servicing lady was very rude and disrespectful to a customer over the phone. I don’t appreciate this kind of behavior towards me when I paid alot of money for this condo. I would like to be contacted about this very soon.

No communication with manager

Everything with the listing was good room was as advertised but my vehicle was towed because it was a truck parked under the building but the others under there was not. The overflow lot was always full from people that wasn’t staying there and none towed. Also vrbo didn’t even give me the right contact info for my reservation so I couldn’t speak to anyone.

Worst experience

Property management was horrible in communication. Apparently you cannot park your truck in the parking garage got a violation sticker on Friday and when we asked the people that worked there, they said they didn’t know anything about it and they wouldn’t do anything like that never ever told us that trucks couldn’t be parked underneath there. The violation sticker did not have a reason so we had no idea until Sunday morning when we woke up and my truck was towed so then I had to find out where my truck was and why and go to Canal Street to get it out of storage that cost me 250!!!

The condo is the perfect size for a couples getaway. It is in the perfect location for easy beach access, good food options, and shopping or activities. The condo was very clean and the booking process was easy and the management team communicated everything clearly and promptly. The pricing on this listing is perfectly affordable, as well.

Love this place. Second time staying at Beach View in this unit. Room is perfect for two. Convenient and easy to get to the beach and many restaurants. Parking was a breeze! This may be a little picky but there are some pretty nasty looking stains on the toilet bowl which I noticed immediately. But for the most part everything was clean and organized. The only thing this unit lacks is a full sized refrigerator for our longer stays! Overall, very laid back, cozy and affordable stay. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

Fine for the price minus the fees!

For an inexpensive place to stay, it was fine but there is nothing fancy if you’re looking for that. If you’re planning to stay bring an extension cord for cell phones because there wasn’t an outlet near the bed. Also the only mirror was a small mirror above the small vanity. It would have been nice to have a dressing one on the bathroom door. A small area rug would have been a plus as well.

Fun stay

Overall good stay. The building's a bit run down on the outside and the parking area and stairs were dirty. I requested the address to the exact location of the property and was directed to the website where i was unable to find it. I requested it again and was ignored. The location was great and the room was adequate. Nothing fancy but nice.

We stayed in this property while we were attending Hangout Music Festival. The location was very convenient and close to the venue, which is exactly what we needed. It was also very affordable and fairly quiet. The property itself was quite old and dated, and the room was very small. The room smelled vaguely of mildew. A renovation would really do this property some justice. Nonetheless, we only needed to be close to the festival and the free parking was a major plus.

Spring break stay

A lot smaller than the pictures showed. The bathroom ceiling had lots of water damage. Basic toiletries were left, but if you know that the guest is staying for a week, leave more than one roll of toilet paper. My biggest complaint was the remodeling next door. This was my vacation and the noise from next door would not allow me to sleep past 7. It would have been nice to have been notified that they were remodeling or at least moved my room. Walls are super thin and you can hear everything from the other rooms. I also wasn’t left a parking pass/welcome pass in my room so that whole first night I worried about my car being towed. I did like I could walk to beach and to the souvenir shops and the hangout.

Amazing Location

We could not have asked for a better location. We went to the beach everyday with ease. Within walking distance of a lot of restaurants and shops. They had a texting service which made it easy to communicate with the team and check-in. This place is small, but perfect for two people. We are very active, but did spend time to chill in the room. We had plenty of room for our things and to get ready. They had drawers for each people, and the nightstands have 2 big drawers as well. When we wanted to relax, we used the bed to lounge. The kitchen is plenty big for 2 people on vacation. The only issues we had were dirty comforter on the bed and the a/c was not fulling functioning. The comforter had some caked on, sticky food stuff. We didn’t even sleep under the sheets/comforter. It wasn’t a stain, it was fairly new ick. There was also previous renters papers and sheets in one of the drawers that was forgotten by the cleaning team. The maintenance team brought us a fan which was very nice. We would stay again.

The photos make this property look so much better than it is. Also, when we opened the door in hallway the odor of pot was terrible. We opened the door to room and it reeked of mold and musty. The only night we stayed, we couldn't sleep because of the pot, and musty ordors. Our only saving grace was the property management company - Gulf Shores Rental. They found us another property which was outstanding. I would not recommend this property unless you are a young pot smoking person.

Interrupted

Unexpected and unannounced Latino beating on my door trying to get into my rental saying he was changing out the buildings modems. I refused entry. Don't know this guy and he is not accompanied by a management person. Went to dinner. Came back and was disturbed by the strong oder of smoke in my room. Checked the hallway and no smoke. I have COPD and use a puffer twice a day. This smoke smelled like cigarette smoke and did not dissipate quickly. Had trouble breathing and sleeping that night. Next day contacted my leasing agent and they knew nothing of a maintenance man needing to access my room. I will not stay there again.

My spouse and I stayed for two of the four nights before we found another place to stay. There is no elevator available, so you must take stairs up (22 to the first level). Once you enter the room, the first thing that hits you is the mildew smell. Then, you realize that the bed is about 4 feet tall and difficult to get into, and the "bathroom" sink that is on the outside of the tiny bathroom is about 2 feet tall (as are the two end tables by the bed). There is a small oven but it has rust on the side next to the cabinet. The small fridge did not cool well. There is a small table and chairs, but the chairs look like they have mildew or rust on the seats. The ceiling in the bathroom is not in good shape, and the bathroom is very small. I would not recommend this location at all. Yes, it is right across the street from the beach, and in a great area, but you could find so much better for the same price a bit farther from the beach. There is ample beach access in Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

It was actually perfect for one person. I would not recommend 2 staying in this unit. The kind bed is good for that, but the bed took up the overwhelming majority of the room. It looked HUGE in there. I think a queen bed or even a full bed would kind of open it up a bit more. I would guess that Beachview Condos is likely one of the oldest condo buildings there. Don't get me wrong, it was clean and secure and everything I needed was in the unit. The two nightstands and chest could be updated a bit. And the table/2 chairs could be of better quality. Again, it comes down to available space, and the king bed took up most of the room. BUT OVERALL, it was perfect for one person mainly hanging at the beach.
