We love Gulf Shores!!!! But the home we chose was a bit lacking. This is not one house, it is a duplex which the description in VRBO did not disclose. Master suite is upstairs and very spacious with a beautiful view but does not have its own bathroom. It is a jack and Jill style layout which shares with the 2nd bedroom upstairs. Bedroom downstairs off the kitchen is terribly small with an extremely small bathroom and would probably be better suited with a twin bed. Upon arriving, there were wet towels in front of the sliding glass door down stairs due to leaking from a storm that had blown in earlier and floor fans were blowing upstairs to dry out the carpet and the air conditioning was not working. Both were reported and someone came out the next day to address the issues. Both sliding glass doors had recently been replaced but not sealed which was causing the leakage. We were told the air conditioner was fixed however we had to report it again the next day. I spoke with, Wesley, with the Vascasa, who was extremely helpful and had someone out quickly to replace the condenser on the air conditioner. I also spoke with the property manager a couple of times who was very helpful and courteous as well.
We were compensated for the inconvenience with a free nights stay and a gift card to Bahama Bobs. Parking was also an issue when we first arrived as the tenants staying in the other side of the home did not adhere to the three car rule. They had five cars which took up the majority of the parking. Oh and the outside trash receptacles were packed. Again, we love Gulf Shores but until some upgrades are made to this little home, we will look elsewhere for accommodations.
