My girlfriends and I take at least one trip a year to the Orange Beach area and stay in a beachfront condo. Here are some things we encountered with this particular property that was unexpected/disappointing:
1. The dishwasher would not drain. We reported the problem. A guy came to fix it - unsuccessfully. We had to hand-wash dishes the entire time. The owners of the property have to approve a replacement. They did not while we were there.
2. Despite informing the management company that there would be 5 guests, we were only provided with minimal linens (exactly 4 washcloths and 6 towels). We asked Liquid Life for more, but were told that due to supply-chain issues, they could not provide any more supplies. Since Walmart's supply-chain seemed to be okay, we bought additional washcloths. I'm not sure what the expectation should be if we would have had the 10 guests that the condo is able to hold/sleep.
3. Other maintenance issues: the outlet in the master bathroom could be pulled out from the wall; the tubs in both bathrooms did not drain well (gross); the guest bathtub had a major crack in it (poorly patched); and it seemed as though the cleaning people had not swept or mopped before we arrived.
Generally, the place was in disrepair, and we were not provided supplies sufficient for the number of guests. I'm not sure if this is the owner's fault or the management company's fault. Either way, this particular property was not on the same level as places we have stayed in the past.
