Gulf Shores stay
Reviewed on 2024-03-25 by , Yankton, SD USThe rental and location were good. We’ve stayed in many VRBOs/Airbnbs but this rental surprised us at the lack of things in the kitchen. We did contact the manager for pot holders and did receive them. But there were no spices, i.e. salt and pepper! Most of our previous rentals have provided some basics. We were notified of what they provided (minimally) so being able to cook in our rental was a challenge. Also, directions on how to operate the tv would have been VERY helpful and eliminated several calls to the provider as the rental company told us they couldn’t help us. Lastly, we didn’t know we had to manually lock the door so our first day out of the unit it was left unlocked. The man who brought our pot holders told us this when we ran into him and replaced several burned out light bulbs. Also had difficulty with the dishwasher but just worked around it.

Wonderful Stay for Spring Break
Reviewed on 2023-04-03 by , Hallsville, MO USThe condo fit two couples perfectly! We had enough space and privacy. Each bedroom had an attached bathroom, which was really nice! The condo was clean, smelled clean and we had no issues with access or parking. The beach access was terrific and convenient. There was a nice wash-off station before returning to our condo that I thought was helpful!

Comfortable and pleasurable winter stay
Reviewed on 2023-03-04 by John F. , Geneseo, NY United StatesWonderful stay. It was the second year with Gulf Shore Rentals and we are very pleased with their company.
Beautiful view, but poor service
Reviewed on 2022-10-26 by Linda F. , Ocean Springs, MS USThe view was beautiful and the condo was clean. The facility in general is showing it's age. However, we were very, very unhappy with the response (one which we never, ever got) from the management company about a couple of concerns that we had. We emailed them multipe times requesting help to resolve our issues and we NEVER, NEVER, EVER received any response of any kind, much less any help in resolivng the issues that we were having. We plan to NEVER stay with this management company again.

Crystal Shores
Reviewed on 2022-10-24 by , Ballwin, MO United StatesMy contact at Gulf Shores said they did nothing but I saw new weather stripping on front door and did not have the problem again.
We rented last minute due to lack of enough comfortable space in our original rental. The condo was nicely furnished but had to sweep up quite a bit of sand as we entered and there was a strong fish odor in pantry where trash can is. Sliding door was unlocked and ajar upon our entry. The first nite the wind was howling through my unit-sounding like a loud siren. Had to leave sliding door ajar to stop noise. Couldn’t get TV in MB to work. Gulf Shores Rentals was very responsive and sent 2 people to investigate quickly after my call.<br/>My contact at Gulf Shores said they did nothing but I saw new weather stripping on front door and did not have the problem again.
locked out of the condo! PLEASE READ
Reviewed on 2022-10-18 by Robert N. , Plainfield, IN USWanted to extended our stay an extra day and the Gulf Shores Rental agent I was in contact with by text said it was available and added a day to my credit card.
Went up to the room from the pool on the last day about 11am and the code for the door wouldn't work. Apparently GSR inc. failed to leave the code unchanged for the extended day. Maybe partly my fault for leaving my laptop, cell phone & car keys in the room WHILE I was at the pool, but I had no way to contact them, they are off site and I couldn't remember the leasing companies name. its not listed at the property and owners use any agency they want.
Maintenance man on site couldn't get me in and I was about to force a window open when my friend traveling with me remembered I had forwarded the reservation e-mail to her last month and she found the e-mail with her phone with GSR inc. contact phone number. Got back in the room after 2pm and the smug agent Allison, said it took her 2 minutes to fix my problem and that there would be no reduced rate for my inconvenience & lost time in the room. I won't be doing business with GSR inc. again. Property was great and other owners list their units with different agents. I'd book thru a different one next time. Spoiled my last day

Vacation Heaven
Reviewed on 2022-06-15 by April J. , Verbena, AL United StatesCozy, welcoming, and beautifully decorated condo. The layout throughout flows perfectly utilizing the living space to the max, keeping it comfortable and offering excellent sitting, dining, and sleeping space. Everything you need to enjoy yourself was provided, and everything was very clean. All beds are extremely comfortable as well as all furniture. Offers a beautiful view of the Gulf beach side. Amenities within the condo are very nice. The pool and hot tub are small, but clean, but with the great beach access those are unimportant! Recommend this unit 100%!
Disappointing
Reviewed on 2022-04-28 by CINDY Y. , Canton, IL United StatesOur fourth time renting through Gulf Shores Rentals and this is the only time we’ve ever been disappointed. It was to be a splurge for our 40th wedding anniversary and it was a big disappointment. Furniture and beds are broken down and smelly. Bathtubs did not drain, balcony door locks did not work well, outside balcony doors had black mold growing and the living room television needed instructions.

The condo was newly renovated and everything was fresh and beautiful! We were comfortable and cozy while being spoiled by the beach view balconies.

The beach access was directly by the parking area which was convenient. Thank you for a great week!

Over rated
Reviewed on 2021-07-03 by , Lebanon, TN United StatesCondo was nice inside . However the pool for the complex was too small and the pictures look nothing like the pool. We had someone come into our condo that had rented at Crystal Shores West same unit number and apparently had same ID code to get in the door. Thank goodness that we were not asleep the situation could have ended very badly with my hubby being a police officer. I tried calling the customer service no answer.
