I previously stayed at Gulf Place in 2013 for 3 months. I checked in and communicated with the on property office...located below the pizza restaurant. It was a lovely and totally enjoyable 3 months.
This time my first question on check in day was when I called to ask if there was a code needed to get it? The response to my question was I emailed that info to you. Well guess what...I am driving to Santa Rosa Beach...I do not have access to my email!!! It took several calls before I could actually get the code a few minutes before 4 PM on Tuesday, September 6.
Once inside the condo I naturally needed the password to access anything requiring WIFI on my cell phone. I was told the password was on the modem. It was not on the modem hanging (tacky looking) from the TV in the den. A couple of days later I saw a second modem behind a closet curtain in the bedroom...I didn't see the password listed there either. After several phone calls with me begging for the password, I was given the PW! When I needed a passcode to get to the pool, I went through the same deal of having to call the VRBO phone number again...that code would not work, but the lady in the Gulf Place office was delighted to write down the correct code for me!
Guess what...the laundry room had to have a code. Another phone call! Found a person blowing off the side walk that kindly showed me where the garbage was to be taken...a room in another building! I ran into several other guest with bags of garbage looking for the "garbage" place!
There were 5 pages of instructions in the condo telling me how to work the television!!! 5 pages! One page telling me NOT to leave garbage in the condo, leave NO food in the fridge etc etc....every word on that document was the same as
every other condo I've stayed in since buying a TimeShare in 1995...all common sense! Ya think ya could add ONE MORE PAGE OF INSTRUCTIOINS/INFO with the WIFI password, the Pool Gate Code, the Laundry Room Code and instructions telling me to take the garbage to the building next door!
I take hanging clothes on vacation...well I just stayed in the first condo without a closet to hang my clothes in...don't call what is behind the blue curtain a clothes closet...it is full of "other" stuff! The one bedroom unit I stayed in above SOHO had two units for heat and air...one in the den and one in the bedroom.
With only one unit, the bathroom was always too hot!
Geez, I'm at the end and can't continue...
