The room was great. However the parking lot was being repaved, which is not a problem, I understand progress, but I think we should have been told before arrival.My family also got stuck between floors on the elevator. Again, this is not a huge problem, I understand things happen. But after the fire department came and got us out the front desk worker seem unconcerned. I think at the very least there should have been a caution or an out of order sign put on the door of the elevator, which was still hung up when we left two days later.I do not want to sound like I am complaining. Just a few opinions.We had a great time and the room was perfect for us. We will be back.

Not a bad place. Kinda upset had to drive 15-20mins away to beable to check in. Master bed room only had a sheet on the bed.Listing didnt say anything about having to pay for parking so that was an extra 60 bucks. In side pool needs work. Not a bad place but extra expenses of any kind sould be included in listing.

The condo was clean and mostly as described, except the bed in the master is a full size - not a queen or a king … a full. The other bedroom is a full size bed also. So, the condo has two full beds and two twin beds. Other than that, it was a little dated, but everything was in working order.You have to drive 20 minutes from the condo to get the keys at check in, and drop them back off at check out. That was super inconvenient after traveling all day, but the staff was nice and quickly got us checked in. Seems like a code lock would be a better option for guests.I would not stay here again without an option for a larger bed than a full size, and having to drive 20 minutes to check in.

When we checked in the room was not clean.

When we got to the room it was not clean. It completely threw off our plans for the night. We had to leave the condo and find something to do. We had to cancel our plans for the evening because we did not have time to get ready.

Just like it’s listed!

Big picture: This CLEAN, beautiful condo with stunning view is just like it looks & is described! The white sandy beach was wonderful for walking! Reading reviews ahead of time helped us have realistic expectations. Details: Check-in is inconvenient b/c of having to pick up & drop off keys 20 min away (longer if traffic bad), but Poole & Assoc were easy to work with! I saw on review ice maker was broken, but freezer had ice trays - not a big deal. I read that there is a lot of pool noise since unit is straight up from pool (12 floors); it WAS noisy, but I could still hear the waves. And location also meant conveniently straight off elevator. Water pressure wasn’t great, but it usually isn’t when there are multiple residences in same building. Mattresses are firm. (I loved it, husband did not.Young adult kids didn’t care.) We bring our own pillows. Kitchen had plenty of dishes & cookware. (Oven browns faster on bottom of bread than top.) No liquid measuring cup. One review said not enough glasses or cups (?) but there is plenty of everything now. Unit has variety of games & books; lobby has more books & puzzles. Phoenix VII has 4 elevators (all in 1 spot), usually not long wait. Common check-in time they’re all BUSY with a bit of a wait, but people were thoughtful of each other so no big deal. We LOVED staying here! I understand why owners don’t supply beach chairs & umbrellas, but that’s only amenity we missed here that we often find elsewhere. GREAT STAY!!

Great Location, Needs Updating

The complex itself is great and is one that my family has stayed at multiple times over the years. This unit has potential to be great, but needs some updating. The unit does not have a code to get into, so you have to pick up a physical key from the property manager's office which is a couple miles from the unit itself. There were 2 keys, but 6 people sharing the unit so a keypad would have been much easier for the group. There were also several small things that needed to be fixed - the worst was the faucet in the bathtub that almost came off the wall when turning the shower on. Ultimately, it was an okay unit, but some simple upgrades would go a long way here.

Family vacation

This was our second time at Orange Beach and it was a little disappointing from last year. The condo was roomy and clean. However the ice maker didn't work at all so we ended up having to buy like 5 bags of ice for the week. The check in/check out process was a headache. Even though our condo was in Orange Beach, we had to drive to gulf shores to check in & get the keys. Once we arrived at the condo to get a parking tag, we were told that we had to pay for it which was never mentioned prior to booking. When it was time to check out, we had to take the keys back to the office in gulf shores. Also, wherever we have stayed on vacation, most of the grills are gas but not here. So we had to go out & get charcoal for the dinner that we were grilling. Vacation is about relaxing not having to run here or there for keys, ice, or charcoal & paying to park where you stay.

Great place to stay - Check-in/out procedures are a hassle

We had a great time staying here. Everything was clean, well kept, and the room was conveniently located. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star stay is having to pay for parking once we got there instead of including it in the rate. We had to pay for 2 vehicles which cost about $100 extra when you get there. The other issue is the booking and check-in/out procedures. You get a string of emails from Poole (the agent) asking for photo id, download an app to upload your id, agreeing to extra terms apart from VRBO, etc. It felt really intrusive and overboard. The other thing that was bothersome was having to go to the agent's office that was 9 miles away from Phoenix VII to pick up and drop off keys. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

Go "smart"!

First thing to surprise me was to go to the traffic street to pickup a key for the property. For so many years of renting we were just receiving a code to open the door. to go straight to the property we could safe 1 hour that we spent in traffic. No coffeemakers were working and never replaced, (i did call to the management) no teapot provided. overall it was a good property and we go every year, sometimes twice during summer and MAY rent from you again. By the way, to go to drop a key at 4 am (when we were leaving) was also not very convenient.

Good, but…

My only complaint is the fact that you have to pick up and return the condo key in Gulf Shores instead of at the property. I don’t remember this being clearly stated until after I had booked. Seems like a coded lock would fix this. Also, other family members who were there with us in other condos had parking passes that were included with their condo--this one does not.

Girls Trip

Nice space, large bedrooms, wonderful view and amenities. Mattresses were a bit squeaky but that was the only issue we had. Easy access to the beach and the indoor and outdoor pools were very nice. Facility was well maintained and parking was easy, but we had to pay for a parking pass when we got there. Could have been a bit cleaner as we had to sweep the floors that had sand, but it is the beach and this is somewhat expected I guess.
