Great home but needs some attention
The home is in a nice location and setup. We would stay here again. Although overall it was nice, we did have a few issues. The oven does not work, and neither does the exhaust fan on the stove. The burners worked, but nothing else on the appliance worked. I saw in a previous review that the oven did not work, but enough time had passed that the issue should have been fixed by the time we rented, but it was not. There was a countertop oven/airfryer, but it was not the same as a working oven. Chances are, if you are renting a 4-bedroom home, you need a true oven. The exhaust fan not working meant that the smell of anything you cooked lingered in the home. There was no hot water in the kitchen. The keypad to the door did not work consistently, and often we had to reenter the code several times or wait for it to reset. It seemed to time out or go offline often. The door auto locks when you leave, so we battled the keypad often. Every time we were downstairs at the pool or pier and came back upstairs for drinks or the restroom, we had to fight the keypad. The back gate needs repair since it did not stay locked and often opened on its own.
The things we really liked were the location and setup. The backyard is completely fenced in both under the home and around the pool. It is a nice setup if you have small kids or pets. We had a small dog, and she could not get out anywhere around the fencing (unless the back gate opened due to the lock issue). The pier is nice and good for fishing or just sitting. The house also had a good amount of plates, cups, utensils, pots, and pans. If you are a big group, this house has a HUGE open living space. It is even bigger than it looks in the pictures.
We travel to Gulf Shores very often and have stayed in a lot of rentals of all sizes and types in this area. We would stay here again if we knew the issues were repaired.
