Phoenix VIII 1205

This condo needs maintenance. The plugs in the walls don’t work. The bottom part of the plugs didn’t work in the bedroom and the bottom part of the plug’s didn’t work in the main room. The bed was broken and slanted to the right. Overall we were very disappointed.

It was a nice stay and great weather. The unit was nice but had Hotel quality fixtures and appliances. View to the east was obscured by another building. The beach front rental company was late arriving each day and we were not able to rent from them.

I have stayed in nicer. Furnishings were dated. View of the beach to the East was blocked by the building beside us. Photos are very misleading.

Location was perfect, view was amazing, only thing would be taller furniture and a taller commode....otherwise it was great!

The condo was just as described. Well maintained with a beautiful view. My husband and I enjoyed the beach and visited several restaurants while we were there. I would recommend this condo!!

Condo was great. Just right for two people. Everything we needed

Overall the place was very clean and good location to what we wanted to do. Only complaint is the bed definitely needs to be updated because it was extremely uncomfortable.

Very clean and quiet. It was a perfect location and condo for us.

Wonderful
Only 1 issues with the TV but it was handled the next day

The condo was somewhat dirty & designed with small people in mind. There was construction on site on the walkway down to the beach so you had to walk over & across to Phoenix VII to get to the beach. It went on all week. There was also construction next door, new condo & work started at 6:30am Monday-Friday. Some of the remotes were not readily available & some needed batteries. The stove didn’t work 100%. The bedroom closet door was broken. I addresses this in the welcome email but never received a call or email back all week. I have pictures available as well. All furniture & toilet was again designed with small people in mind. Phoenix VIII is a nice building but our condo 1205 was not a good condo. Very unsatisfactory with both the condo & the rental group.

Very nice condo very clean and right on the beach

We were very pleased with the accommodations. The location was great, the view from our room was exceptional. The only problems were the bed was too hard, closet door was out of rail, the commode was for kids (too small).

very comfortable and beautiful accommodations View from apartment was spectacular. Very clean and well-kept facilities. Both pools were crystal clear. Plenty of great restaurants close by

We had a wonderful stay loved the view of the ocean and beach from our condo. I think the condo could use a little bit of an update. Would be nice to have a little more than 1 packet of detergent for the washer or I packet for the dishwasher. But overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

It was great except the weather could have been better. The condo was nice and clean.

Very enjoyable.

Staying at the Phoenix Vlll unit 1205 was a a terrible experience for my girls and me!!!! The unit was not clean and smelled horrible. The furniture was old and stained. There were live roaches in the unit!! Gross! I was on the phone with the property management. They called pest control and said they were on the way. The pest control lady calls me back and said they are not on the way, there was another company handling their bug problems now. So, we waited around to get this solved for quite some time. I did not pay all this money to be handling this on my vacation. The guy that was handling this was so apologetic with no real sincerity. He offered to discount my stay a whopping $100, and never did. I will never stay at this location again. This was a horrible experience!!!!!

Loved our time spent with family in one of our favorite spots at the Beach

Totally awesome!!

There was used bar of soap left in the shower. The shower curtain was covered in soap scum and mildew so bad I threw it away and bought another one. Urine all over the bottom of the toilet. Every dish I went to use I had to wash. Dirt all over the entertainment center. Kids fingerprints across the t.v. stains across the couch. The location was great but the cleanliness was horrible. I have pics if you would like them. I reached out to the owner about the shower curtain and bar of soap. Got no where.

Nice location except for the building going up to the east, blocked the view of that end of the beach. The condo was clean. They should get furniture that is comfortable. Needs a better mattress. TV was hard to hear unless on very high volume. Other than that we had a great vacation.

I did kill a cockroach that was in the kitchen the first night. Never saw another one after that. Everything else was fine. I did not have a car there with me so an extra roll of toilet paper would have been good.

We stayed in this condo from Feb 14-Mar 7, 2022 and it was wonderful. We had a great view to the West and could see sunsets many of the nights there. There was plenty of room, nicely decorated, good WiFi, and nicely stocked kitchen. The towels could have been bigger and took two towels to dry off. The bed was comfortable. The washer and dryer worked great. It was the quietest condo we have ever stayed in. The balcony was a great place to sit and read. It was very close to restaurants and grocery stores. The beach wasn't crowded. The indoor pool and hot tub were small, but nobody was using them when we were there. The outdoor pool is would have been nice for it to be heated. The management company was very responsive when we called about the light being out in the refrigerator. Phoenix Rentals LLC is great to work with! The only downside to our stay is they are building a high rise to the east of the building and there was construction noise and when it is completed, you won't be able to see anything to the east of the balcony.

This condo was amazing!! It was so quiet and well stocked. We never waited for an elevator and parking was no issue. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It is close to lots of restaurants and a short drive to Publix and Walmart grocery stores. It is close to the bridge going toward Pensacola as well. It was decorated perfectly and the wifi works great. We could sit on the balcony and watch the dolphins. The outdoor pool was very clean and nice. The indoor pool, hotter, and exercise room were great. Working with the management company was outstanding. They responded to us almost immediately when we needed the light replaced in the refrigerator. They were so professional and nice. We wanted to rent this for next year, but it was unavailable, so the management company helped us find another unit nearby. The only thing we could say negatively is that they are building a high rise condo next door right now, so we did hear lots of construction work...but that should be done soon. This condo is perfect for a couple who want to be at the "quiet end" of the beach.

Only (one) thing bothered me with the exception of the weather.
The surprise of a charge for parking at the last minute aggravated me.
Nothing we can do about the weather except complain, and I was. Two days out of eight we had a little sun. It was February after all.

This was our second stay in this unit (would have been the third, but COVID 19 caused everything to be shut down last year). We enjoyed this one as much as before. Unit is perfect for an older couple. Great location on the beach and close to dining and shopping. It is exactly as pictured and equipped with everything we needed. Everything was in good working order (the dishwasher needs to be checked and secured better). It was very clean and fresh smelling. Phoenix Rentals were professional and efficient. We had all the information needed before we left home. The property staff was pleasant and helpful. The Wharf and the outlets in Foley are must visits. There is no shortage of good dining. Some of our favorites were Big Fish, Brick and Spoon, Doc's Seafood Shack, Another Broken Egg, Big Mike's Steakhouse, City Donuts, Tacky Jack's, and Fisher's. Don't pass up a sunset cruise on the Southern Rose. We plan to return next year and even extend our stay.

Overall the condo was very very nice and I would stay there again. The view was beautiful and just steps from the beach. Highly recommend.

Very easy to reserve. The communication from the company was clear and concise. No issues at all with the rental process or the unit.

Very clean and nice

The views were great and we had a very relaxing stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Comfortable bed and furniture. We were close to restaurants and entertainment. Overall, it met all our expectations! We would stay here again.

We loved our time at Phoenix 8 - unit was comfortable and clean with everything we needed. The view was fantastic - sunrise abs sunset both fir the time of year we were at Orange Beach- loved it. Phoenix Rentals team so helpful as we extended our stay with the beautiful fall weather.

Everything was perfect until Hurricane Sally came to the Alabama Gulf Coast. Our vacation was cut short and management gave us a refund which was greatly appreciated.
We would stay again in this well kept unit.

place was just like the pictures

The condo was in a great location with a great view. The staff let us check in a little early which was very nice.

Some complaints I have are:
-The balcony door was horrible! It was so hard to open every time. I’m glad my husband was there with us because if it wasn’t for him, we would have never been able to go out on the balcony.
-The washing machine would keep the clothes soaking wet. You could ring them out and water would spill like you soaked them in the tub. It took numerous drying cycles to get them dry.
-A lot of the dishes were dirty in the cabinets. They still had food stains on them.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this unit. It was clean, kitchen had everything we needed, patio view is awesome and it’s convenient to everything we needed including groceries, restaurants and activities. Perfect get for a couple who’d been quarantined for months! Maybe a softer mattress would’ve been nice but after a day on the beach I slept very well!

Perfect size for a couple with an elementary school child.

Excellent beach. We loved the view.

This place is good for small family or starting a family. Just make sure the sheets and comforter are clean before using it, cause one of the pillow case got blood stain and comforter looks and smell dirty.

We booked this unit for our anniversary and for a well needed getaway. We had a relaxing time. Weather was perfect. Check-in/out was very easy.

We enjoyed our stay there! Everything was great. The kitchen facing the ocean view was amazing. We had our meals on the relaxing! The pools were clean. The building was clean. I have no complaint about that place except that the master bedroom has a signal on a wall near the ceiling with bright blue light on it and I had to cover it when I went to sleep. It was bright when the lights were off. Other than that, it was great!

We had a nice time here. The condo was lovely. It was just my husband and I and our little one. It was her first trip to the beach and she loved it.

Condo was nice we had a great stay

Very satisfied with the entire stay! Hair dryer was missing and Charlotte delivered a new one on Easter! Thank You!

Liked the room a lot, everything u needed and great view of the beach from a stellar balcony!

The unit was exactly as described. It was spotless, comfortable, and well equipped. The location was great. What a view!! It was directly on the beach and close to many good restaurants. We stayed 2 weeks and never ate at the same place twice(we ate out every day). The information packet the manager sent was very detailed, and, since everything was in good working condition, we had no need to contact the property manager. What a plus! The property staff were very friendly and helpful.

This was our first visit to the Alabama gulf area. Since this was such a great experience, we intend to return next year and even extend our stay. We felt right at home from day one. We may even become "Snowbirds." Good bye Florida.

If you get a chance, drive to Mobile and tour the U.S.S. Alabama and and to Foley to shop the Outlet Mall. And, don't forget to visit the Wharf. Take a sunset cruise. So many things to keep you as busy as you want to be.

Thank you for the time and care you put into making this our "home away from home."
