One set of doors by the laundry room was off the track and looked like it was about to fall off. The big chair on the balcony had a broken leg and couldn't be used. Not the cleanest when we arrived. Hairs on bedroom dresser and nightstand, dried up things on side of couch and on bedroom wall. Looked like mold or something on ceilings. Whatever it was, there were lots of spots on ceiling. Bathroom floor by shower looked awful as well as baseboards. The condo is very outdated as far as paint, doors, baseboards. Just marks everywhere. Big Stain on couch cushion. Stains on curtains by sliding door. Marks on walls. Flooring by refrigerator was stained from something, maybe rust? Just overall felt gross. Patio furniture was rusty. Mattress on pullout sofa is paper thin. Condo had a musty, moldy smell when we arrived. Ice maker did not work. WiFi did not work. I would not advertise this condo as updated like it says in the listing. I text all of these concerns to Brett Robinson and they told me to let the front desk know?

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 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!

The resort has direct beach access and incredible Gulf views, but the amenities really set it apart. There are multiple indoor and outdoor pools, lazy rivers, a splash pad, and an awesome four-story waterslide. The condos are spacious, and having a private hot tub and grill on your Gulf-front balcony is hard to beat. There are also plenty of other activities, including tennis, pickleball, putting greens, fitness facilities, and poolside food and drinks. Turquoise Place gives you the space and privacy of a beachfront condo with the amenities of a high-end resort. After two great stays, we would absolutely come back again!

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

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. 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

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.

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.

You have to check in after 4 PM, but they didn't tell us the office closes at 5 PM, so we were unable to get our parking pass the day of arrival. We called about the bed. They said that was an owner decision. We never heard back after they sent someone out to look at the bed, which he agreed needed replacing. They advertise a 3 bed 3 bath unit, but the queen bed in that room might support a child and definitely not two adults. Bring your own hair dryer too. One is not furnished. The coffee pot only took 17 minutes to brew an 8 cup pot of coffee. It needs replacing. This unit is not on the Gulf side, but on the bay or Ole River side. It was a drive to get to a public beach and depending on traffic.... If you want a sandy beach with a Gulf view, you have to go somewhere else. This unit has a nice view of a marina and the Anchor Restaurant is right next door. It had a great view of a Golden Eagle's nest with two young birds being fed by the parents. It was great getting to see the birds in action right from the balcony. If you want to rent a boat or love a marina this would provide you with that, but be sure the owners rectify the issues I mentioned before you go.

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.

Upon checking in at Brown at the Beach, I went to grab pots and pans to cook dinner for twelve people and found a lack of pans. I also found that what I took in photos as two refrigerators was one refrigerator and one extra large freezer, which again was not enough for a place that has eight bedrooms and was home to twelve people for a week. When I called Beach ball properties, they said nothing could be done that night, but promised more pans the next day. That promise was never fulfilled. On Wednesday of the week, I called when winds from a tropical depression caused water to come through four doors that faced the beach and a sun shade that was on tracks on the upper balcony was bashing into the building. The answer was that someone would come and check, again promise not fulfilled (property owner should be concerned about this). Other things of concern, the downstairs bathroom (barn door design) has no locking mechanism which seems lacking. One of the bedroom doors would not lock because the door did not shut properly and another bedroom (barn door design) did not have a lock at all. The property also had a poor dishwasher design which was too small for the size of the house. I'm addition to a lack of pots and pans, they were short on drinking glasses unless you count the abundance of shot glasses.
