When we booked this condo there was only 1 review so we were reluctant but booked it anyway. It was a great price and hard to pass up.
So lets start with the negatives: the floors were very dirty (we couldn't go barefoot), the unit needs paint, needs updates (fixtures were cheap, kitchen faucet was plastic), dishes were NOT clean (we had to wash everything we needed before we used it), kitchen ceiling work area lights didn't work, tub/shower was in bad shape with holes filled with caulk and missing bar, tile floors were chipped and broken, water filter on fridge was red so that needed replacing, bedroom TV remote batteries were dead, kitchen drawer stops were broken so be careful opening any drawers so they don't fall out, WI-FI quality was so-so. The pool for Phoenix II was NOT heated during our stay. So we walked next door to use the heated pool at Phoenix I.
Now for the positives: the condo size was perfect for 2 people, the king size bed was really comfortable, nice washer & dryer which we used, dishwasher we did not use, coffee maker, blender (didn't use), toaster and crock pot (didn't use), plenty of utensils, glassware, pots/pans and silverware. Refrigerator has ice maker built in. Unit included DISH TV and Sirius radio channels. The patio with table/chairs was amazing and we ate all our meals out there. The view is spectacular. Grills are available by the pool and we used them while we stayed. The unit is close to the elevators. Luggage carts are available and shopping carts for easy of getting groceries from your car to the condo. It was nice and quiet when we were there. Easy access to the beach with an unbeatable view from the third floor. We had a fabulous vacation and enjoyed our stay. It's the little things that make an experience one that you want to repeat. We will be returning to Orange Beach, just not staying at this unit.
Sincerely,
