Quick weekend trip

The location was amazing. It was small and perfect for our little trip. - (Aug 2020 - VRBO)

Great Location and Price, Not as Clean as We Would Have Liked

The location is amazing. We were able to walk to the Hangout and the beach is just right outside your door. We loved the pool and we also loved the "Take a Toy, Leave a Toy" bin. Our room was not gross by any means but the floors were very sandy and hadn't been cleaned well, the furniture was very stained and one of the beds had dirty linens. We had to wash sheets and put blankets over the furniture in order to be comfortable. Our unit also had trouble staying cool. The thing that bothered me most was that there is no one on site to enforce rules. The parking lot is ridiculously spaced and almost everyone was parked over the line. It was very difficult to park. There were people in the pool with alcohol and there were teenagers being rude even though it says alcohol is not permitted and there are cameras, nothing was done about it. I took my small children to the pool and didn't feel safe because there were people playing catch with others on a high balcony and climbing the net above the pool and doing backflips off of it. I know that I can't hold the property accountable for everyone's actions, but it seemed like everyone could just do whatever they wanted with no consequences. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. - (Jul 2020 - VRBO)

Perfect

Castaways 1B was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful ocean view and comfortable accommodations at a very reasonable price. Just a short drive from Gulf Shores Parkway. We had planned on staying there just one week. Ended up staying nine days. The condo was clean and inviting. Plenty of room. The front loading washer and dryer was a plus. And the Keurig single cup coffee maker got plenty of use. Only one very minor issue with the king bed in the master bedroom. The bed wasn't set up correctly and it began to slump after a couple days. Once I notified the rental office, a maintenance man was there within a few minutes and he fixed the problem. Parking was ample and we never encountered any problems with the elevator. The staff at the rental office were very professional and friendly. We will definitely rent this condo the next time we're in Gulf Shores. - (Aug 2018 - VRBO)

Our stay

The condo was in a very convenient location. Great beach access.Parking was a little difficult as lot was small and probally not made for larger SUVs and trucks.I was very surprised to find the swimming pool right under the balcony. You could not see it in the photos. We were awaken every morning between 7 and 7:30 by the people cleaning the pool. Their machines were loud, they talked loud, And then came the children. I'm glad they had a good time but sitting on the balcony was not pleasant. Many nights there were people at the pool after 10:00.The kitchen was very basic. It would have been nice to have cleaning supplies for pot & pans. - (Apr 2017)
