No ice machine that worked

They say they double check everything before we check in. The patio door handle was loose finally came off, No icemaker that worked. They thought the refrigerator had an icemaker and the repair guy said it didn’t. It would be nice if you have a 13 person condo and only two cars and they haven’t un rented property. They let you buy one the parking spot from it.

Loved the layout

We stayed here with our two adult children, their spouses and 3 grandchildren 4 and under. The condo is furnished very nicely. We took advantage of both the pool and beach. There is an access code to get to the pool from the beach that we weren’t provided but found out from other renters. We were able to work out parking for all three vehicles which was greatly appreciated. We were also able to coordinate an early check in. Every thing was provided as advertised. The only negative was the $3000 requested security deposit which was much higher than any other VRBO rental we have had. We opted to purchase insurance which we typically do not do. Overall a great experience and we would stay here again.

Parking

The condo was great but we were not aware beforehand that we could only have two parking passes-had to purchase the second one but had three cars. Security would not work with us as it was 8:00 in the evening and even though the garage was not full threatened to tow our car.we had to find an overflow parking lot to move the third car the next day. TBecause of the parking situation and the way security treated us, we will not stay at the Colonades again.

This place is a must! We loved!

This condo is great! It is stocked with everything you could possibly wantS. There is really no need to bring anything except your beach towel. The kitchen was AMAZING. Plenty of dishes, bowls, ect., mixer, blender, can opener. Condo is very spacious! We LOVED, LOVED, the balcony. We could all sit out there at the same time with ample room! There were 7 of us. The pool and hot tub were okay. They were clean and nice just nothing extra fancy. The MasterBathroom, wholey cow! The shower and tub! Condo even had beach chairs and extra blankets. The negatives the shower door was broke while we were there , and the refrigerator leaked. They responded as soon as I told them and was willing to come right away if we wanted. We were fine with waiting until wile left was nothing major:). I would highly recommend this place.

Lack of sufficient parking

The day before our arrival I was told that there was only parking available for one car. A second parking pass was available for $63 for 4 nights. My son with an infant, who arrived last, was in a third car. They had to park their car 2 miles away. I spoke to property managers and requested another parking pass, for pay, of course. It was denied. Every night we walked around the parking area and there were several parking spots unused. I spoke to the manager again to ask if a special consideration would be allowed since there were spots available and was again denied. Had I known when I reserved the condo, that only one parking spot came with the 4 bedroom condo, I would NOT have rented it. I have never had this problem before for the last 20 years of visiting Gulf Shores. A very frustrating experience!
