Vacation Homes Collection reviews in Alabama

“The house was beautiful and situated in a private neighborhood that was quiet, yet close to action and an easy walk to the beach. We had to leave early due to the hurricane. Originally. A voluntary evacuation was issued, which we heeded, but were told we we not get a refund unless it was mandatory. That was my only "complaint". Otherwise the property and the check in/out procedures were great. We even got to use the kayak on site before we left!”

“The house itself was great, and we really enjoyed the property. There are a few things I think future guests should know. While the beach is technically within walking distance, it’s not a particularly realistic walk, especially if you’re carrying beach gear. I would definitely recommend driving or renting a golf cart. The house is also tucked away and somewhat difficult to find, so more detailed check-in directions would be helpful. Our biggest frustration was the communication surrounding the hurricane that developed during our stay. We received inconsistent information about what we were expected to do to prepare, which made an already stressful situation more frustrating. We were also expected to move all of the outdoor furniture inside ourselves. We were told multiple times that someone would be coming to check on the property, but no one ever showed up. We understand that severe weather creates unexpected challenges, but clear, consistent communication and follow-through are es”

“We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is in a great location. Easy to get to restaurants and shops. Directly on the beach with outdoor pool and restaurant right below also. The only thing I felt needs to be more clear/transparent is the parking. There is a small lot directly on the property but it fills up fast. The bigger lot is across a 4 lane road. Theres a crosswalk but when we arrived the road was flooded to our calves due to water from a rainstorm. It wasnt a deal breaker for us, but i would have liked to been informed about the parking situation more clearly on the front end.”

“We had a nice stay overall. There were ants on the counters and in the bathroom, and the bed in the primary bedroom was very noisy whenever we got in or out of it. Aside from those issues, it was a nice place, and we enjoyed our time here.”

“The host was responsive and check in was simple. The condo needs updating with some baseboards missing. There isn’t a deadbolt on the door which felt unsafe for our toddler. The views from the balcony were beautiful!”
