I would highly recommend this complex- great location and amenities that are totally worth it. The grill area is also great with a nice dock for the sunset. The condo itself gets you what you need with no frills.

Small but relaxing
This home was a relaxing escape for our family. This was our first trip to Alabama. We wanted to know recommendations on what to do and we did not have that available. It was good to get away.

It sucked
Water in kitchen was shut off before we got there, because of a leak in the dishwasher. It was the third day before it was fixed. Toilet continually ran. TV didn’t work. Killed a roach this morning. Never again

Great unit great location
This property was perfect for our needs. The condo unit was bright, and very clean and was equipped with everything necessary. The unit we were in had a stunning view of the lagoon and pool courtyard. Very comfortable sleeping arrangements. The bathroom was spotless with a huge shower and tub. The grounds were impeccable. Loved our stay! Can't wait to come back next year!

The room was great but I wouldn’t have more than four adults in the group. Not enough table seating.
There are small cockroaches in the kitchen area. We’ve seen about a dozen since we arrived. Also there are at least five light switches that don’t seem to turn on anything . Other than that the room was clean, AC worked, and we enjoyed our stay. Again.

A bit disappointed!
We’ve stayed at this location before, but not in this particular condo. We were a bit disappointed with the condo. Needs more pans, oven mitt, etc. Every time we used the oven, the fire alarm would buzz. Had to keep the door to the patio open to prevent the condo from getting smoky. The garbage disposal and the light above the sink did not work. Had to use the plunger multiple times to, unclog the drain in the kitchen sink the toilet also had issues. It would run nonstop. At the end of a long day, we wanted to watch TV but couldn’t because there were parental controls on the TV. That was a huge disappointment for our teenage boys. All in all we made it work for our family, but I would not recommend staying there. This is usually one of our favorite places to stay because of the Lagoon in the back of the resort, the fabulous pool and the beach across the street. Unfortunately, we will not be staying there again.

Sharla S.

Really disappointing
I really wanted to love this property. I had high hopes based on the reviews, however, this property is far from what I was expecting. The condo is in desperate need of a good deep cleaning. The bottom of the drapes are completely black from the floor dirt, the cabinets are covered with grease film, all of the vents are filled with dust, the walls and doors have dirt/food caked on them, the furniture and rugs need cleaned, etc, etc. Along with being dingy and dirty, there are so many things broken. The toilet ran continuously, the kitchen light flickered the whole time, patio door seems off track, etc, etc. The whole place is in dire need of a fresh coat of paint and smelled musty. Additionally , wished the condo had an additional lock for when we were inside the condo at night. The code seemed very generic and seemed anyone staying in property could have guessed the code and gotten inside. Truly only good thing about this condo was location. Extremely disappointed in the amount paid here compared to the state of the condo. Will definitely stay elsewhere next time.

Electrical problems.
The condo was spooky with a wire to the light over the sink exposed and taped up but still didnt work.. Garbage disposal shot sparks inside the switch soon as turned on. Location great but if you intend to use the boat launch nobody is there on Sunday if you have problems.or to even collect the parking fee. Owners are individually responsible for their rental. Some shoud be awesome . respresponsible for their cond The Locatoneturnedturned on

We loved the location. The home was clean when we arrived. It had all the amenities as described. The beach is in front with a private access and the docks is at the back for those who want to fish. The pool is easily accessible. Everyone was ever so kind.

Ok place to stay
The property is a little dated but ok for the price. Liked that the beach was a short walk across the street. Also liked the view of the lagoon and pool area from patio. One of the challenges was the outside door lock. It worked but seemed like it needs to be replaced soon. Also there was no TV in the second bedroom and oddly no overhead lighting in either bedroom (there are only lamps). Be sure to bring anything with you that you think you might need as the condo supplies the bare basics. It was a decent stay for the price. Not bad, not good, but decent.

Great for my Family of 5
Individual WiFi was a plus for my kids, the location is perfect to get to the beach, very calm and not to busy, came with everything we needed for the week to cook meals, and keep the condo clean while we stayed. I do wish the kids room had a TV and that the living room tv offered more than 8-10 cable channels or was a smart tv for my kids to watch something at night but for the most part everything was up to my expectations, and no surprises.

Loved it!
We took an extended family vacation and stayed here, the room was very clean. It was hot in the room despite the AC being on 68, it was August so overall it is harder to get a room cooler but we all wished it was a little cooler.
