Colonnades Condominiums - Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals

Wonderful place to stay.

The condo was spacious and clean. It was great that we all had our own bathrooms/bedrooms for a family of eight. Very well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils/pots&pans. Wonderful view and easy access to the beach.

The place itself is nice, the view, location, and accommodations. I’ll list the pros and cons below. Pros: As mentioned, the condo is beautiful, beds are comfortable, view and access to the beach are amazing. Kitchen was stocked with most things you’d need, but make sure you bring all the small food items (salt/pepper, spices - nothing is provided). Communication from Vacasa regarding the check-in/check-out times and door codes were prompt. Cons: We noticed several items that were broken or missing: blinds in one of the bedrooms were hanging on one side, not on the slider, toilet paper holder was missing in one bathroom and the toilet paper roll had to sit on the sink, kitchen table had a couple broken areas/divots (glass table), sliding glass door handle in one bedroom was broken and we didn’t try to open that door because of it (no access to balcony), one plate and one pot had food stuck on it and was put away as clean, and the biggest issue was the garbage disposal didn’t work. We messaged Vacasa about it and they said they’d pass along the issue to local staff. My husband ended up working on it and fixing it himself so that we could use it. We never heard back from local repair staff and they didn’t check the entire week we were there. Lastly, the towels seemed to have been very used. They were somewhat dingy (not clean white) and weren’t very soft. They’ve probably been used all year and were on their last leg. For the price of the condo, we expected a little more attention to detail, and responsiveness regarding the repair issue.
