We had a great stay! The beds were so comfortable!! The maintenance crew came in and replaced a towel rack and toilet seat that were broken. They were great! The place needs to be updated with paint and TLC! It was very difficult for me being 72 years old to have to climb the stairs constantly to the second floor, which was actually like being on the third floor. I did it, but I wouldn’t do it again!

Great view of the gulf from the balcony. Plenty of space for our group for the weekend. There was parking in the shade which was great (leather seats and that Alabama sun don't mix well). We had an issue with the door code when we first arrived but we were able to reach them very easily to get it resolved. A 10/10 experience all around.

Place had a great views but the condo was dated. Rusty refrigerator and the balcony had carpet with nails sticking out of it. Towel racks were broke off and the fire alarm in unit went off for no reason we took the batteries out. Loved the location but there was a bad smell of cat urine so unfortunately we won’t be able to stay in that unit again. Vents in floor were awful dirty so it seemed when the air was on was when you could smell it more. The balcony in the corner the smell of urine was awful that carpet needs pulled up. Just needs a good updating and cleaning and would be great.

There were some water damage spots in the main bedroom, but they do not look recent. Had trouble finding the check out instructions. Had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

G204 is in bad shape. Needs a major renovation to all rooms and porch. The location is great, your service met expectations and we did enjoy the week. The condo needs to be updated. It could be a great place. The complex is quiet and being able to bring your pet is a plus.

Very nice place

This condo was very nice and was located in a great area. The outdoor grounds of the property were very well maintained. We loved the very short walk to the beach and being able to play in the pools. It was very nice having the balcony on the condo, although the door to the balcony was pretty hard to open and close. The kitchen is fully stocked, but could use a better kitchen spatula and some kitchen tongs.

Great place to stay with a pool and good access to beach!

Wished we would've known beforehand there was a pulley on deck to pull up our stuff, lol. It was a great place for our family to stay with a nice pool/Jacuzzi and good access to the beach. Not too much traffic in the area and has great access to canal with tables and grills available on the pier. Docks available for your boat. We enjoyed fishing from the pier. All amenities worked well! Kitchen had all cook water and dishes needed. It is older but in good condition. We would stay again! Great pricing!

Roomy, clean condo right across from the beach. Biggest issue was the water had a nasty taste to it. A quick trip to WalMart for a case of bottled water took care of that. A couple other minor issues that honestly were pretty forgettable. Other then that we were very happy with the unit.

The place was good. It did have a sulfer smell like sewer when we entered, but got used to it fairly quickly. The hole in the ceiling above the bed needs to be fixed. And didn't realize all the stairs to get to the second floor. But otherwise it was okay!

Review on our stay at Sea Oats G204

The location was easy to find. Be sure to utilize the pulley on the balcony instead of carrying your belongings up all of those steps!! The pool was our favorite part here, it is big and was never very busy. There's a short walk to Sea Oat's beach access. My only complaints (really searching here as I was overall very pleased with our stay, more just a heads up): bring your own pillow, theirs could use an upgrade (very flat). Also, the kitchen could use an upgrade to supplies: there's a very limited selection of cookware including no spatula.

Sea Oats Review

Location was perfect for us. My husband loves to fish and enjoyed the fishing piers. The complex is old and could use some TLC. I would recommend replacing the doors to the condo’s balcony. They are rusted and difficult to open and close. The carpet on the outer hallways smells old and dirty, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to put in hard floors and use washable mats like they do for commercial businesses.

The condo was nice. The bedrooms where good sized. However the comforter in one bedroom was stained. Also the curtains in the 2nd bedroom had a terrible odo4. The internet was out for 5 of our 7 days. I called and was told they would have someone come look at it but that never happened.

The stairs were horrible!!! Too many of them!!! The winch was not a working winch, so we had to haul all of our stuff up 4 flights of said stairs. The condo was spacious, the balcony was awesome, and overall we loved our stay. I would suggest that a new King sized bed be purchased for the primary bedroom. We did not sleep well at all.

SEA OATS G204

The property and the condo were nice. Only a short walk to the beach, and we loved the dock at sunset. There were THC products found in master bathroom cabinet under the clean towels, luckily found by me and not my children. This was disappointing considering the amount of money guests spend on cleaning fees. And on that note, the presence of bats on the balcony made it impossible to sit outside in the evening or morning. There was a massive pile of bat feces on the balcony which prompted me to keep my children off the balcony. Beyond these two major issues, we enjoyed our stay. The pool was very nice, beds were comfortable, and the condo is quite roomy.
