    So they clean the cabana?
    Faith K.

    It only allows you to put up 10 pictures....but there are many more so here are a few. It was clearly stated that ALL condos would be COVID19 cleaned and sanitized...well you tell me if that's the case here?! (Pictures don't lie) What is not pictured is how dirty all the fans were, floors (if you walk bare foot the bottoms of your feet will be Nasty), base boards, widow ledges, ice machine scoop, appliances not clean and so on. The sheets were NOT fresh had an odd smell to them like old dug out of the back of a closet smell. What also amazed us was where was the hand sanitizer? In building C there was one by the main elevator, but not the elevator coming and going from pool. One at the outside entrance by beach but not by pool where you have to touch the gate in and out. And well that's ALL...None on any floor or by the indoor pools, NONE by the food stands, no where to be found. Never saw the cleaning staff in building cleaning common areas. But in building D we saw them cleaning common areas. We also had a cabana which we had to turn the key in by 6 so they could clean! Never cleaned, trash never taken out (yes pictured), towels never replaced NOTHING. The same nasty banana that was there on the outside deck the day we arrive(remember it was COVID19 cleaned still remains) Pool were not cleaned, decks not sprayed off nightly (cigar buds, food, candy, and a lot more all over (vacuumed, skimmed, chemicals check nightly...the lazy river had so many ants and sand in it when we arrive at 930 am! Oh my) Oh and if you have an oversized vehicle there are a few parking spots...as it amazed me how quickly they jumped on people parking in the 15 min spaces if they were there 15.5 mins, but if you were a regular sized vehicle in an oversized spot that was ok! (Smh) Oh and lets not forget the amazing nightly noise of the sub pump to make sure the "bathrooms" would not back up! And the joints were for the pump were not done correctly poop water was leaking right outside the complex. Not impressed during these times especially!

    Great location and this 3 bedroom was perfect for my family. Central located from all food places and shops.

    Gorgeous beach with chair service

    My family just spent 7 nights here and it was a spectacular experience. Everyone one of us was sad to leave. We rented a four bedroom, 5 bathroom 3500 foot condo with views of the ocean from nearly every room. We stayed in D-1801 and it was beyond luxurious. It had copious amounts of ice in the fridge and a separate ice maker next to the bar/wine cooler. The main master bedroom had a bidet in a bathroom bigger than my bedroom at home. Everyone had their own space and as a result we all got along wonderfully. The gourmet kitchen was alike a dream come true. We used the resort option of ordering groceries so we were fully stocked when we arrived. With two little kids eating in really made our stay even better. We also loved the washer/dryer and threw everything in the wash each night. Next time I come here, fingers crossed, I will bring way less clothes. I didn't realize how fabulous the laundry room would be. They provided some detergent but we brought our own plus fabric softener. Another convenience is that we got two parking spots in the underground garage. One was numbered for our unit and the other was for anyone directly across the garage. Our spot was right next to the door to the elevator, super convenient even with the luggage carts we snagged on the lobby floor. We arrived late but the parking guy had our keys, etc. to make everything go smoothly. I love looking at beaches but swimming in pools and this resort had 4 pools, two inside and two out, to make me happy. We also had our own hot tub on our deck. (As well as a gas grill, chairs and table.) They came around and checked the hot tub twice, just regular maintenance. I spent every minute I wasn't in a pool on the deck looking at the stunning view. We took the garbage out every night and went through all the bags provided. There were always people cleaning somewhere and they happily gave us more. We also ran both dishwashers every day, yes there were two, and they gave us more powder for those as well. I also couldn't get the hair dryer to work and they were there in a minute to fix everything, at night, on Easter no less. This is a family friendly place so expect lots of kids, even some groups of tweens and teens who seemed a bit overly indulged. But it was quiet and peaceful, no spring breakers. In fact the week we were here (Easter and after) they were only at 50% occupancy which I loved. The only downside is the cost. We dealt with that by splitting it between two families and we all got along great, no need for a second condo. We drove 15 hours to get here and it was totally worth it. I just hope we can return!

    I have stayed here in years past and always had a great experience. This year- the Unit was AWFUL. Dirty, carpet was filthy, no cushions for outdoor furniture and a manager I had to spar with THE MANAGER FOR 7 out of my 10 days just to try to get the items fixed or an adjustment on a bill of $600 per night for the 4 bedroom unit. For $600 per night, the unit should have been fully stocked, clean and with new carpet. I won't be returning after this experience. Judge the carpet for yourself by looking at the photos from EVERY room. You would not find filthy carpet like this in Motel 6 much less a place you are paying $6000 for 10 days. I refused to take my shoes off in the rooms. DISGUSTING. Go stay somewhere else in Orange Beach. Not Turquoise Place

    If you ever stay in Orange Beach, I would splurge a little and get a condo at the Turquoise Place! We stayed there for my birthday and had a front row jacuzzi seat to watch Hurricane Nate! The staff is friendly, the bars are great! Highly recommend. I'll be going back any time I come to orange beach!

    Have always wanted to stay at Turquoise Place since I went for a tour while it was under construction, but it is pricey. Off season so we decided to try. The building has been maintained pretty well which is important. Quality built. Spectrum was friendly and helpful with any issue we had. There was a problem with wifi and hot water but fixed immediately. NOTE: Book through Spectrum or Turquoise or you do NOT have access to all amenities and they won't handle complaints. The units are so roomy so are the balconies. Wonderful views. Walk in showers . I could live there! This unit was designed for for adults with king beds in the three bedrooms. Spectrum changes the comforters every stay, saw maid because we left something and had to go back, there she was with three new bed comforters. Loved that! They had plenty of towels and washcloths which is unusual for condos. My only complaint, and this is just personal preference, all floors are tile and I like a rug by the bed. I hate sand in my sheets. Yuck!

    This condo is bigger than the townhouse I share with 4 other people in college...

    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.

    My bwife and I booked a room through Brett-Robinson for a week at Phoenix VII in Orange beach…read more Early today, work using a jackhammer began somewhere above us. We couldn't even hear the TV over the pounding noise. When I went to the front desk, another woman was already there complaining. In my opinion, the woman behind the desk shouldn't have been allowed to run a child's lemonade stand, much less the front desk of a resort building. She said she didn't know anything, but she said, "It's out of our control." Well, if you don't know what's going on, how do you know it's out of your control? I came back to my room and called Brett-Robinson's management office in Orange Beach. When a woman answered, I told her about the jackhammer, but she said, "I can't hear you." I told her that was because of the jackhammer. She said she was going to have to get someone else to help me and transferred me to the woman at the front desk of Phoenix VII . . . who said the work was in an owners unit and they had no control over the work. Niether Brett-Robinson or the front desk were sympathetic to what we and others were experiencing. The woman at the front desk was yelling that it wasn't her fault and the woman at Brett-Robinson just wanted to pass the problem on to someone else. What a great team they make!

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

    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.

    We were not impressed with the unit at 410 Harbor Cove. One of the beds was unusable. The…read moredirections were less than clear to enter the property. 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.

    We were in our rental for a week with 9 people and only supplied with 3 rolls of toilet paper, and…read more2 dish pods, 2 trash bags. When I called Vacasa to request more supplies they told me we were on our own, that's their policy and then was hung up on. The home we stayed in had a beautiful view, but a LOT of deferred maintenance. The kitchen counter was buckling up, nails in the wall with no pictures, mold around the vent in the bathroom and on and on. Would not recommend working with this rental company. The slum lords of vacation rentals apparently!!

    HORRIBLE as a rental management company! I have been corresponding for MONTHS to have them remove…read moreour condo unit from their search engine from when we used them as our management company. The condo cleaning was horrible and too much stolen so we canceled using them. They continued to have our condo searches lead to their site and then show no availability, I believe in an attempt to "steal" rentals. They finally, after MONTHS, removed our actual unit, but still have a search for it lead to Vacasa. This has been the most aggravating business dealing I've ever had! I believe this is a SCAM to get people to Vacasa's site, so WARNING, if you ever use them to manage your rentals, just use our example as the difficulty you may have ever getting referrals and condo searches to your actual rental site after canceling your contract with them! I've reported this, in my opinion, SCAM, and unprofessional, misleading, and immoral practice by Vacasa to the Alabama Attorney General's Office!
