Just returned home after a long weekend in Orange Beach. We stayed at the Phoenix II, unit 2113…read more The unit was pretty shabby - lots of chipped paint, dinks in the walls, run-down furniture in the bedrooms, light bulbs out, and broken lamps. The overhead light in the kitchen was not working, which we reported to management right away. We were told that they would put in a work order, but no one ever came to fix it. We did, however, get a visit from a maintenance person who told us that apparently the toilet in the master bathroom was leaking into the unit below and the water to it would have to be turned off. We understand that things like this happen, but we were offered no compensation of any kind for this major inconvenience. We told this maintenance person about the broken light in the kitchen, but still no one came to fix it. By far, the best part of the unit was the balcony from which we enjoyed magnificent views of the beach, sea birds, and dolphins. We liked Orange Beach and will return, but we will find a different place to stay.

MAY 2026. Our first and LAST time to PHOENIX 2. CONDO # 2077. (Not our first time with…read moreBrett-Robinson.) We were charged $1800+ for 4 nights at Phoenix 2 #2077, that price was with a supposed discount; And also with multiple threats of how Brett-Robinson will be raising their rates again soon! PHOENIX 2 CONDO # 2077 is poor quality and basic. The bathroom cabinets are literally ROTTING (photo attached.) The carpet is sliced and left stringing along the floor. The laundry doors are broken. The balcony furniture is broken. There is no lounge chair on the balcony. It's 2026 and there's no ice maker. No dish soap. The bedroom furniture is too large for the room in the back. At least one of The bedside tables needs to be removed. There are NO EXTRA BLANKETS or supplies or games etc. The decor is practically non existent. The utensil drawer is broken and the stuff falls straight out the back into the lower cabinet. --- This condo was an absolute RIP - OFF and falsely advertised. Broken and falling apart and overcharging for it ---- Of note, This complex has no indoor pool. I have booked through Brett- Robinson quite a few times. Enough to know there were no parking charges. And now they're charging $60-$75 for a parking space. ONE parking space. If they built a new space every time someone left, maybe they'd need to charge for parking. But these parking lots have LONG been paid for. Brett-Robinson is nickel and diming guest as much as they possibly can...While continuing to cover the beaches in condos that they won't provide upkeep for, and naming them all the SAME THING!!!!

Our Wedding and Anniversary at Turquoise Place…read more We simply Love this Place, it has become 'Our Place" to go! Our Room on the 23rd Floor. We got Married on the Beach there in 2024 and went back for our Anniversary this year 2025. When we went on our Wedding, The Resort, had not Acknowledge that It had Wedding and Honeymooners there, However a Manager Realized it on our 5th day there, and Apologized and sent up Champagne and Parting Gifts to take home with us. We thought that was Very Thoughtful! (My hubby misplaced her card, so I can't recall her name, but I Pray she sees this, if so, I want to say THANK YOU!!) It was still Just as Peaceful, Beautiful, With Awe-Inspiring Views! The Sunrise and Sunset views, Simply Magical. We like to get the LARGE sweet... Well, because we simply Like to. Each stay was an 8 day stay, and it always seems To Fly By, but I guess Magical TIMES usually do. The rooms are Clean, Spacious, Nicely Decorated and we are pretty much, are there in our Own World, until we Exit, as we Desire it! Oh and I will Not to forget that The Resort is Beautiful and Staff, Friendly. We plan on Making it a Yearly, and Maybe a couple of times a Year, Same Room, Same Length of time!(Though we extended a day this stay LOL) We were just in our Zone, but realized One day Extension would be enough, as we had to get back home!

Make sure you book with spectrum as they have a free breakfast buffet daily. We can't wait to go back in September!

This place is very nice, but I do wish to leave a note for the management team (we saw them walking…read morearound the building yesterday). Positives: great venue, location, amenities (hot tub and grill on the balcony) etc. The cleaning crew is constantly working in the elevators, hallways, and in public spaces which often goes overlooked but we really appreciate it. Areas for improvement: The front desk folks need training. Every time we stopped by it was a new face...some friendly, some not. Mostly they just struggled with answering basic resort questions from us and others inquired. "How do we rent chairs at the beach?" The young lady said, "sorry i don't know." I called to check on how to use the putt putt activity. Another young voice said "you just putt the ball on the grass and hit it." I laughed, "no sorry i need to check out equipment for it right?" She said, "you can look at it first if you want." So I responded, "do you have putters and balls that i can use?" She said, "yes". I responded "how do i do that?" She said "its free to use." I asked "where do i get the equipment?" She said "at the desk". I get to the desk and they tell me "i must leave my driver license to check out equipment." That would have been nice to know before I came down, . I used to manage a community center so i get it. We just laughed it off, but some people won't so heads up!

Nice place to stay as far as condos go. We came right before peak season and it was a great time…read moreto visit as the crowds had not started getting too thick yet. 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. It's also right in the heart of Orange Beach situated right in between all of the cool shit the area has to offer. Pro Tip. SWEET CONE ALABAMA is just down the road. '24 - 36/100

I was warned that the couch smelled like urine and since the carpet looked dirty they decided to that as well. We were called 1 1/2hrs prior to our arrival to let us kmow the issue with the smell and getting the condo cleaned. When we arrived we were offered another location about 20mins away that didnt have a pool and no beach view or direct access. We decided to wait it out since we came for the pool and the beach. The carpet in both bedrooms, the couch was wet for the 1st two days of our visit and the carpet was wet for at least three days. We also realized that one of the guest beds was broken, the door on the entertainment center was broken, the curtains are all stained, the sheets had blood stains and the finally the tub drained ao slow you were in standing water for the entire shower.

Review of Beckoning on Perdido Bay Rental PropertyOur family stayed at the Beckoning on Perdido Bay…read morein Lillian, Alabama, from July 18 to July 25, 2025, and while we had a mostly pleasant stay with many memorable moments, several issues need addressing to enhance future guest experiences. The refrigerator leaked from the top right, requiring a mixing bowl to catch water, emptied twice daily, and the undersized freezer could only hold one bag of ice alongside our food, lacking an ice maker. During an air conditioning failure, indoor temperatures reached 85°F, causing fridge temperatures to hit the mid-50s, risking spoilage of our several hundred dollars' worth of groceries; the fridge, bolted to the floor, may need coil cleaning. The internet was unusable for modern devices until the maintenance director kindly set up his personal Starlink system, and we recommend a permanent high-speed solution. The property had maintenance issues: the rear porch screen door had holes and was detached, allowing insects like cockroaches and silverfish inside, which we had to handle. Dirty dishes in cupboards suggested inadequate cleaning, a rotted deck board near the grill posed a safety hazard, and low kitchen sink pressure made dishwashing difficult. Closets had a musty odor, needing dehumidifiers. We found insufficient towels and washcloths for the guest capacity, forcing us to buy more, and recommend two sets per person. The living room furniture, styled like outdoor pieces, and dated porch furniture were uncomfortable, and the shelter house hammock was torn. The overgrown driveway brushed our Suburban, risking paint damage, and a deep, water-filled hole created a muddy hazard. The beach path and shore were overgrown, needing cleanup, and the lack of a dock limited activities. Ants on the beach caused painful bites, and the grill's metal bristle brush was a health risk, with a non-functional igniter and uncleaned grease tray. Door handles loosened repeatedly, kitchen knives were dull, and porch screen doors were misaligned. The AC failure, due to a mold-clogged condensate line, was fixed promptly by the maintenance director, who was pleasant and responsive. Despite these issues, the private property offered ample space for lawn games, and the screened porch with fans was a highlight, keeping bugs out when closed. The private beach with shallow, safe waters was ideal for kids, with minimal jellyfish and dolphin sightings nearby. Beach wagons, toys, and chairs were a cost-saving bonus, and the outdoor shower and spigot were convenient. The large, well-stocked kitchen with a gas stove and spacious dining table suited our family, and the living room had books and games, though the TV was small. Updated bathrooms had great water pressure, bedrooms had comfortable beds and fans, and the master closet was spacious. The maintenance director's Starlink and AC fixes were greatly appreciated. We enjoyed daily beach time, fishing for catfish and a black drum, and a trip to the Naval Aviation Museum to see the Blue Angels, 45 minutes away. Removing a few trees could offer an unobstructed bay view from the porch. Overall, this property has great potential, but addressing these maintenance, cleanliness, and amenity issues would make it exceptional.

TERRIBLE COMPANY!!!! DO NOT USE Phoenix V Orange Beach # 812…read more We were notified only a few days before our trip that the pool would be closed for maintenance. When I asked about the splash pad, I was told they had not mentioned any closure, and assumed it would still be open. However, upon arrival, we discovered that both the pool and splash pad were unavailable due to a major renovation project. This clearly was not an emergency repair, and guests should have been informed much earlier or given the option to cancel without penalty. We traveled with three young children, and the pool and splash pad were major factors in choosing this property. The only compensation offered was a 10% discount on the nightly condo rate, which did not adequately address the inconvenience. Unfortunately, the condition of the condo itself was also very disappointing. The unit was in serious need of a deep cleaning and furniture updates. Issues we encountered included: 1. Two recliners that were broken, worn, and dirty 2. A couch that was worn and stained 3. Dining room chairs with peeling faux leather and visible dirt 4. An ice maker that produced only a small amount of ice over four days 5. A foul odor coming from the kitchen sink, likely from the garbage disposal 6. Dishes and cookware that were not properly cleaned, with dried food still on pots and pans 7. A master bathroom sink that drained very slowly 8. An outdated master bathroom with a shower head positioned so low that adults had to squat to wash their hair 9. Balcony furniture covered in dirt and dust 10. Curtains that dragged across the floor and were filthy at the bottom 11. Floors and rugs that were too dirty to allow our crawling baby to play safely Because we were traveling with a baby in the crawling stage, cleanliness was especially important. Thankfully, we brought a play mat, but keeping our baby confined to it throughout the trip was difficult and frustrating. I contacted customer service at Prickett Properties during our stay. The representative was courteous and documented all of our concerns, stating they would be passed along to management. Unfortunately, I never received any follow-up. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this condo. The photos do not accurately reflect the unit's current condition, and the lack of communication about the amenities was very disappointing.

We had a good experience with Laura's! There were a few mishaps here and there, but for the most…read morepart our experience was pleasant. When we arrived, we were told our keys would be in a lockbox. The code they provided us wasn't the correct code, so it took us about 30 minutes to get into our condo. However once we were in, it was fine! The condo was beautiful and clean. I wish they would've provided daily needs (trash bags, aluminum foil, paper towels, etc) but those were easy to pick up at Publix. The door to our condo wasn't in the best shape and as a result it locked us out. We had to call maintenance to let us back in, but the man (Jimmy) was truly such a nice man and he came quickly! He gave us his business card and turned an unpleasant experience into a not so bad one! The knob in the master shower wasn't secure and fell off on the first night, but we were able to "fix" it ourselves. The location of our condo couldn't have been better! Right on the beach and a 8 minute walk to the Flora-Bama! The one large issue I had was with the actual condo (the Broadmoor), not Laura's. Parking is $40/car and it's not included in the rent. The condo tells you to go to the front office and pay for your passes. However, we tried to go three separate times to the front office to pay and no one was there! And then, there were two notices left on our vehicles threatening to tow us if we didn't pay (almost every car in the garage had a warning on their car). When we finally caught them in the office, they seemed frustrated that we had "waited" to pay. Parking was the main thing that was frustrating for us during our stay. But like I said, that was not an issue with Laura's, just the particular condo. Thanks Laura's for an awesome spring break in Orange Beach! We have already recommended this condo to our friends who have booked it! :) I'm updating this review due to something that happened on the very last day of our stay. Around 10 AM Friday morning, two men knocked on our door. They said they were from insurance and needed to look at something in the condo. The men were very polite and in and out in less than 10 minutes. My issue with this was that NO ONE gave us a heads up! We had no clue these men were coming. Laura's, nor the condo, gave us a warning that insurance men would be coming this morning. The men were extremely nice, however, a heads up would've been much appreciated! Common courtesy.

I along with a colleague located an ad on www.vrbo.com that was placed there by Laura's that…read moreadvertised a beach condominium, Wind Drift Condos Unit 304S(E) for $107.00 per night. We completed the rental inquiry on the webpage and received an email from Laura's that indicated the room was actually $130.00 per night, not the $107.00 as advertised. We emailed and called Laura's regarding the discrepancy and was told in a phone conversation with Minyan (unsure of spelling) that she did not know why the unit was listed for $107.00 but that the rental was $130.00. In the same phone call, Minyan persuaded us to cancel the reservation with www.vrbo.com and book through her directly to save the fee that www.vrbo.com would charge. We did as Minyan requested and cancelled my booking with www.vrbo.com and booked with her directly at $130.00 per night. This appears to be a bait and switch scheme. Upon arriving at the room at check-in, we opened the door to the unit and immediately noticed a foul smell that smelled similar to cigarette smoke and pet urine combined with mold. The unit was also 80 degrees and the air conditioner was not cooling. We began looking around and immediately noticed that most all of the air vents in the condo contained black mold, which was visible on the outside of the vents. Further, one or more of the walls in the unit had active black mold growing on the wall. We immediately called Minyan at Laura's and explained the issue and that we could not stay in a unit with an active mold problem. Understanding that it was 3:00 pm on Friday afternoon, there would be no way for Laura's to obtain a mold eradication professional to deal with the mold growing in the air conditioning and on the walls. Minyan informed in the call that the person whom had just inspected the unit did not note any issues and that we would not be issued a refund. We asked to speak to someone higher in authority, as we were not going to remain in a unit with active mold growing. She informed that there was no one else, that she was the manager. She said that she would be glad to send someone with some bleach to wipe up the mold. Being trial lawyers and aware of the seriousness of mold and the protocols required to deal with mold, we knew that bleach would not kill the mold; but rather, would spread the mold. We explained to Minyan that bleach was not the answer and that it would do more harm. We told Minyan that a biocide would be required to remove the growth and inhibit the continual emission of spores. In that conversation, we again requested to speak to someone above Minyan regarding an immediate refund on the room. Minyan indicated that she would call someone and call back. After getting off the phone with Minyan, we noticed that two of the lamp shades in the main bedroom were completely spotted with black mold. We called Minyan back and had to leave a message in which we explained that we found further evidence of a mold problem on the lamp shades and that we were leaving the condo for the sake of our health. Approximately 10 minutes after that message was left, and while we were informing the onsite property security about the matter, Minyan called back and informed that no refund would be coming and that she could send someone to look at the issue. All that Minyan kept saying was that the condo passed their inspection and that a refund would not issue under any circumstances. After securing other lodging, we returned to the property to inquire which management company managed the complex so that we could inform the company responsible for the condominium association and common maintenance of the property of the problem. we spoke with the onsite security guard, with whom we had initially reported the problem to prior to leaving the property. The guard informed that a maintenance man from Laura's showed up after we had left the property and inspected the unit. The guard stated that after the maintenance man came back down from the unit, the maintenance man told the guard that there was, in fact, mold present in the vents and on the walls and that someone would need to remove and replace the vents and take other corrective measures to remove the mold. The guard also informed that there was a massive water leak several weeks earlier in a unit directly above this unit and which flooded several units below, including the unit that Laura's rented to me. In addition to the mold issue, the unit was in deplorable condition. The carpet was stained and worn, the closet door was not on track, the ceiling fan was rusted, and the paint was coming off of the baseboards. The smell in addition to the mold was unbearable. Not only is this particular unit in horrible shape and one to avoid, Laura's Vacation Rentals needs to be shut down. I have never encountered a real property rental company rent a unit with active mold and refuse to give a refund when notified at check-in. The law has a remedy.

Upon arrival we loved how close the property was to the beach but immediately noticed broken items like a broken cabinet frame, flooring pieces that were no longer glued down, fridge handles were extremely loose etc. We also noticed a small splatter of something on our bathroom wall that resembled blood. I immediately called the office and they asked that I email pictures. I sent the pictures immediately and they responded stating they would have maintenance and cleaning crew come out. I thanked her and assumed things would be fixed soon. A cleaning guy came over the following day and sprayed enzyme cleaner on the bathroom wall. We expected the maintenance person to come out that day as well but they never did. Communication day 1 was great but after that they went silent. The things that I reported broken were never fixed. We made sure that everyone walked carefully in the dinning room area where the wood panels were loose to avoid any accidents. I did receive an automated text from the company the day before check out with check out instructions and a second text immediately aftet checking in on how things were going, I responded letting them know that no one came out the prior day to fix anything and got no response.This is our 1st time staying with beachball properties and most likely our last due to the lack of response and effort on their end. The property needs updating before allowing anyone else to stay in that home. It was 13 people in our group and all of our first time in Gulf Shores so we tried to make the best of it and stay out sight seeing and at the beach. I really wish someone would've came out to fix or atleast check the things I sent pictures of. We paid alot of money to stay there and expected a higher standard from the company. A quote from their website......"Additionally, our dedicated maintenance team is available 24/7 to promptly address any needs that may arise during your stay." If this was true my review would have been WAY different, praising your team for taking care of things quickly.
