Phoenix VII in Orange Beach looks like a resort from the outside, the pools, the boardwalk, the…read morebeach setup, but it is absolutely not a resort. It's a condo building managed by Brett‑Robinson, and the unit we stayed in was nowhere near the standard of any resort, hotel, Airbnb, or VRBO we've ever booked. The unit was dirty from the moment we walked in. We found a woman's dirty underwear under the table, food crumbs under furniture, sticky and dirty area rugs, and a Tootsie Roll wrapper that wasn't ours. We also discovered a stained sheet at the foot of the bed, positioned so the stain was hidden unless you pulled back the top sheet and blanket, meaning the bedding hadn't been changed between guests. It was obvious the unit had not been cleaned properly at all. We called about the hot water issue on day one, and again on day two when nothing had been fixed. When maintenance finally arrived, he found the shower valves were installed backwards, so hot water ran cold and cold water ran hot. If something that basic is installed incorrectly, imagine how poorly everything else is managed. I reported the cleanliness issues during the second‑day call. They said they would "report it," but I never heard anything back. Only after emailing photos did management call me. They said they would send cleaners that same day, but no one ever showed up. The amenities were also extremely disappointing. They provide only enough shampoo for about two days, even for week‑long stays. There was no coffee or tea, and no beach towels; something every resort, hotel, Airbnb, and VRBO we've stayed at on a beach has provided. Considering people pay thousands of dollars to stay here, this level of cost‑cutting is unbelievable. I wasn't asking for much, just a clean unit and basic communication. They couldn't even meet that. I would not recommend Phoenix VII or booking through Brett‑Robinson.

The grounds were immaculate, the lobby was adequate, elevators all worked the entire visit, and they had handy shopping carts for moving things around. The lobby is a bit dated, but it's nice enough for the price point here. There are vending machines for ice, food, and drinks in the basement. The pool was clean and had ample areas for lounging. Pools had grills and gazebos for cooking outdoors. The deck going to the ocean was well maintained, lit well at night, and even has a mat going almost all the way down to the beach. Condo was nice, again a little dated, but served us well and was actually clean as you could ever want. AC was cold, bed was 3/5, but the doorways were oddly narrow. I saw some folks on the property that would have some trouble, LOL. Patio was cool. I'd come back, it was really cheap for the stay.

There are also plenty of other activities, including tennis, pickleball, putting greens, fitness facilities, and poolside food and drinks.

The only downsides ( in my opinion) were the parking situation and the cleanliness/upkeep of the outside amenities. Parking was only guaranteed for 2 vehicles, and the 3rd vehicle (mine) needed to pay for an extra parking pass to stay in the garage. They had none available the weekend I arrived so we had to park our car at a hotel nearby and pay for over night parking from Saturday- Tuesday until we could get a parking pass. It was very inconvenient to have someone take us to our car and worrying if something was gonna happen to our car. The 2nd thing was the cleanliness of the patio amenities. Grill needed scrubbed and sliding door needs a good power wash

This review is for unit 2044 At Phoenix East II. In this review, I will discuss both the property…read moreand the individual unit. I will review the unit's management company separately. My family loves to visit the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach area. We took a spring break trip and stayed here. I'm giving the unit three stars because while it wasn't a bad place to stay, we've stayed in better. Let me start with the property. Phoenix owns a lot of buildings here and one of my usual complaints is the "parking fee". I mean, really? Couldn't that just be included in the rent of the unit? It's a little ridiculous. My favorite part was that one night I forgot to leave the parking pass on the dashboard. So, overnight the rent-a-cops left two "warning tickets" on my windshield. Two because I might not have seen the first one. (insert eye roll here). The building was in pretty good shape. Not sure what was wrong with the garbage chute. It was working the first couple of days we were there and then it was marked "closed" and the doors were locked. We had to lug our garbage down the first floor. The best thing about this unit was the view, even from the fourth floor, you had a fantastic view of the beach and ocean. You can watch the boats go in and out of the pass to the bay. We enjoyed our time on the beach, and sometimes, I just enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. We were there during spring break and the beach really wasn't all that crowded. You could go any time of the day and get a nice place to roll out your beach towel. If you'd like, you can rent chairs and an umbrella for $40 per day. There's a discount if you do multiple consecutive days. If you need a break from the beach, there are two pools on property at this specific building, one indoor and one outdoor. We spent all our pool time at the outdoor pool. Now on to the unit, it was clean and comfortable. The living room was comfortable, but I feel like furniture has already seen it's best days. The pictures on were on the management company's website looked pretty nice. Since those pictures were taken, someone has really gone overboard on the beach theme here. Check the pictures for all of the fish and other sea creatures on the wall. The kitchen had obviously been recently been renovated. There were plenty of dishes, cups, and utensils. The master bedroom was bit narrow. You have to be careful going around the the bed to the side nearest the balcony door, there's not much space between the bed and the dresser. That dresser is mostly useless as the drawers are not really big. Another issue we ran into is that there are knick-knacks on every horizontal surface in this place. They really get in the way of places to put our things. The second bedroom had a flip-flop explosion, unfortunately I didn't ge a picture of it, but you can see pictures online. The beds in both rooms were pretty comfortable. The bathrooms looked nice. My only complaint was the shower. I'm 6'3" and I can't get under the shower head to wash my hair. I had to twist and tilt my head to wash my hair properly. The in-room wifi was good, never had a single issue even with all our devices. The air conditioner ran nice and cold. The only issue with that was the system that detects if the doors are open. When the wind blows hard, the front door will show as being "open" and it turns the A/C off. You don't even realize it until it starts getting warm in the unit. The weirdest thing about this unit was the number of signs that were put up around the place. There were signs explaining how things work, signs telling us what to do and not to do, and signs blaming damage on a previous renter. See my pictures for some of the examples. Not really a good feeling that we're not trusted to take care of the place. Would I stay in this building again? Yes. Would I pick this unit again? Maybe... but only if it was a last resort

Communication with them is terrible and they dont seem to mind the inconveniences they place on their customers. Cleanliness of the San Carlos #1108 unit was a concern. We accidentally left a bag hanging in the closet and called to report it hours later. The cleaning lady found it and called me to tell me she was taking it to office. One week later, I still could not be told where the bag was and had to yell at them to stop telling me that "someone would look for it and contact me". The Broadmoor 901 was an outstanding space. Parking was very tight and I had to fight to get passes for both cars, even though I had emailed them prior to arrival and had been told I would be allowed 2 cars. We arrived to dirty laundry in the washing machine and a clogged toilet. Yet, we continued to have no clear communication and zero service, so we handled it ourselves. As a travel advisor, I will absolutely refer clients to these places, even though the San Carlos unit could use some updates, but I will not refer clients to utilize Liquid Life. I wasted hours of vacation time dealing with inadequate responses from Liquid Life and that is just unacceptable.
