Brett/Robinson Vacation Rentals Omdömen 1 236

We had a group of 8 adults staying in Phoenix West, room 2009, for 4 nights - May 15-19. The complex is very nice, the staff friendly & efficient. However, the unit itself was not up to the usual Brett Robinson standards. It had a large decorative clock sitting on the floor, the glass on the dining table was dirty & crumbs lodged in edges, coffee pot leaked, rubber mat under dishwasher not attached & always
Slipped out. The main concern was the mattress in the 3rd & 4th bedrooms (the ones nearest the kitchen). The room my husband & I slept(nearest the kitchen) was absolutely like a water bed- slightest movement & the whole mattress moved, VERY uncomfortable
And apparently past its replacement date.
Over all, the condo was not inviting and decorating needs to be updated. We were disappointed. Considering the amount we paid for 4 nights, we expected a little more.
BTW, we rented this unit several years ago and nothing had been changed or updated.
Will not rent 2009 again.

1st and last time I'll rent from them, I have always rented from private condo owners and they take pride in their rentals but this is awful, sand on all the furniture its not clean, the couch is so warn its pilling and I cant stand to sit on it, one of the plastic chairs on the balcony broke with me sitting in it they are dry rotted it tore off half my toe nail and twisted my knee im a 59 year old woman I didn't need that especially on my 1st day of vacation. I'm just glad we are only staying 5 nights here I've learned my lesson we come twice a year every year and this is the only time I've been disappointed and its also the only time I've rented from a property manager. I gave it 2 stars because of the location.....Id also like to add that since I wrote this review I decided to take pictures when I pulled out the kitchen table to take pictures of those chairs there was a diaper and an aldis bag in one of the chairs, I thought things were suppose to be deep cleaned this condo wasn't even surface cleaned

Phoenix 5. CONSTANT overhead drilling Couldn’t tell anything no thank you so tell that guy he’s out there he’ll be glad to now

This is our 2nd time in Orange beach and 1st with Brett/Robinson. We stayed at building V, unit 1005. OMG!!! Took 1 star off for the receptionist, thin girl, black hair, she is not even friendly, hateful is the right word for her behavior and attitude when I checked in, waited for another hour to check in-1 star off for the worst property I have ever rented, the indoor pool was so dirty that my teenage girl came up immediately after she jumped in, her word "disgusting". Don't rent the unit 1005, furniture is beyond repaired, we cannot sit without making constant adjustment because of the bottom keep sliding off base. Kitchen is dirty, coffee maker needed to fix so we can use, electrical outlets loosen off and dangerous to use, outdoor chairs...how can you sit on those chair? The owner, this place represent you! Have a little pride on yourself and spend a little man, Can't believe we paid for this...Never again I rent another unit at Brett/Robinson, do you need HOA for these condos' owners to keep their places clean?

This is our 31st year renting with Brett Robinson and is, without a doubt, the worst year ever! We rent the month of January every year. This year, we are in Phoenix VII. Three (3) out of the four (4) weeks this month have been destroyed by condo renovations; specifically, old tile removal. The construction going on today, will not allow us to talk to each other, standing 4ft apart, without screaming. We all have bad headaches by the end of the day. We chose to come this year rather than cancel due to Covid. We're extremely sorry that we did. We understand that the owners must be allowed do their construction, however, they could be mandated to do it in the quiet, low activity, month of April.

I have stayed in their condos twice and was not pleased at all, the condos were filthy, the staff was rude even overheard them downing and harassing other employees which were new hires. Id rather vacation in a card board box than stay in another phoenix/brett robinson property.

Phoenix VI 6501
Well, Spring Break was a bust so it was nice to be able to get in for Fall Break. Our family is growing so we initially rented a ground-floor unit but hurricane Sally took care of that one for us.
It was nice to find out that 6501 was available. This was our fourth time renting this unit and everything was just fine. Great overall experience.

Very disappointed with unit. Stayed at Phoenix Orange Beach in June it was great. The refrigerator ice maker did not work called front desk when we arrived no one ever came to see about the problem. The kitchen had very few pots. Had to go down and ask for a pot to cook supper. The living room furniture was very old and uncomfortable. We had to bring in chairs from the balcony to sit on. For the price we paid we expected more. Have been renting from Brett Robinson for years first time disappointed.

We have vacationed in gulf shores for many years. We stayed the past 2 years in the Phoenix gulf shores. The first year was fabulous and and everything was great in 702. In August of 2020, we stayed in room 302. We were the last to get checked in. We waited until 5 families checked in due to the fact that our condo was still getting cleaned. When we finally got checked in we were met by the cleaning inspector cleaning “thrown birthday cake from our tv”. We continues to get settled and went into two of the 3 bathrooms, only to find stool under the rims of the toilet. Obviously not cleaned. I proceeded to go to the front desk only to find that they were gone for the day. Luckily we found the security guard to call for assistance. About 2 hours later a young man came to the room to clean the toilets. Thinking we could settle in, my husband with his white Sox’s sat down on the couch, only for my son to ask him” dad your Sox’s are filthy”. I then took the mop and mopped the entire condo twice, including the bathrooms. What a vacation. I did go to the front desk the next day and was told that someone would contact us. I have written Brett Robinson right after we got home and I am still waiting for a response. When you spend this amount of money you would expect perfection or at least someone to contact you.

We have been coming to Orange Beach for the past 7 years. This is the first Phoenix we have stayed at. The keyless entry, kitchen and view were nice.
Light switches controlled outlets, would have been nice if they were labeled.
The screw that was holding the metal decor hanging over the head of the bed was coming out of the wall. No anchor.
The wall in the bathroom had something splashed on it( dirty).
The balcony’s were on top of each other, you could see everyone.
Couch was stained and uncomfortable.
Washer and dryer were faxing the hot water heater which made it tricky to do laundry. The bi-fold door would hit the main door.
Vanity top was small, had old tooth brush holder and soap dish on the side wall in the way for you to put your items there(contacts, hair dryer, etc) Need to take them off.
Batteries in tv remote said they were low every time we used it. Didn’t have a guide on remote or channels. That would have been nice.
Could here the neighbors beside and over us. Also, a dog two doors down barking everyone their own would leave.

We stayed at the Phoenix IV. We were unaware that this specific condo did not have a check-in desk & that we needed to stop at the Phoenix III ahead of arrival, but it only took one call to BR with a little wait time to get the correct building to check in. The update done on the condo was very nice and a great relaxing atmosphere. Our ice maker never made ice while we were there. A previous couple had mentioned this same problem in our condo’s stay book. We eventually just purchased the ice downstairs, no biggie. Not much bedding on bed, but we found extra thin throw blanket in closet that we used. The tub drained poorly, but also not a huge issue for us. We were really disappointed that the beach chairs and umbrellas were not available on this trip, as we have always rented these when we have stayed at the Phoenix on previous trips. We ended up purchasing chairs and an umbrella. One of the main lobby doors had been damaged and was hanging on its brackets, which created an intense and constant howling sound for the entire last day, as if we were listening to hurricane winds. We loved the lay out lounge on our balcony. Otherwise, a gorgeous view in perfect weather at one of our favorite places on earth.

We were evacuated a few days early but the time we spent at Phoenix V 706 definitely had a few issues.

Upon booking, we were told there was an assigned space in the garage and upon arrival the garage was under construction so parking was an issue at times. Check in was pretty straight forward and getting to the room was simple enough. There was no satellite service for tv the first day, only an explanation of hoping to have it fixed soon (which was the next day). Make sure you get the wifi password from the front desk before heading upstairs.

In the room, the kitchen is great and well stocked minus the ice maker. The lever sticks and you must continually turn the ice maker back on. The guest room was fine and the condo was quiet. The quilt in the guest bedroom closet was unfolded and wadded up in a black trash bag so we had no idea if it was clean or not. The living room was fine and the master bed is quite firm but slept ok. However, along the edge of the bed frame is packed with dust and a few goldfish crackers. The sheets were gritty feeling from sand, but not to the point where they felt dirty..just unnerving. The small fan in the master is broken. Master shower had some mildew that we cleaned up and both showers hold water instantly while you're in there.

Floor was mostly clean but walking near the balcony door would leave your feet black. There were a couple of pieces of tape along the balcony wall that said "wet" which I assume was from the hurricane and there was a bit of a musty smell near the wall but not bad. The balcony lock from the living room broke on day 2 and a promise to have it fixed on day 2 turned into a repeat request and being told they weren't going to send anyone to look at it because they didn't have the part to fix it.

The splash pad had hurricane damage which is understandable, but the pools are great and the beach and view is phenomenal, I just won't be in a rush to try the Phoenix V again.

We always stay in a Brett-Robinson managed property because they are reputable and easy to work with. We stayed at the Phoenix West unit 1006. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and it had plenty of seating in the living area. We love the PW mostly for the lazy river! The staff here are very friendly and helpful and the premises are immaculate. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Our first time to stay in Phoenix VII. The room was totally outdated. There were water stains on the ceiling. The appliances in the kitchen were extremely old. The dishwasher sounded like it was about to take flight when it was turned on. The view was wonderful and the pool was great. The rest of our family always stays at this resort. Their room was wonderful. Maybe the 3 bedroom ones get more attention. I will definitely be more careful looking at pics next time before booking.

This was our second time to stay in Driftwood Towers 5E in a four year period. This condo can surely use some updating and a thorough cleaning. But the worst were the beds! They were so hard and uncomfortable. It would have been better to sleep on the sand. Honestly, it took a few days after I returned home for my back and hips to quit aching. Other than the beds, our trip was enjoyable.

This is our first trip here and have found that Orange Beach is a hidden gem.
We stayed in the "Pheonix" complex. A very nice row of high rise condos with 6 different buildings. The complex is managed by Brett Robinson Realty located nearby. Each high rise is numbered from I to VI. We have found that the larger the number the newer the condos.
Upon arrival we had some minor issues with our condo but I contacted the desk and everything was handled immediately. We were surprised because it was Labor Day and I assumed they would be short staffed.
A representative from Brett Robinson personally called me to insure that all issues were resolved to my satisfaction. They were.
Bottom line is we had a great time and loved Alabama beaches as well as our accommodations. I truly felt like our business was appreciated by Brett Robinson Realty.
I personally want to thank Tiffany for her diligence in contacting us personally.

Stayed in Phoenix I. Excellent unit, nicely decorated, everything we needed! Only issue was the lack of some silverware, particularly spoons, may want to Add a few more. Check in and out were flawless. Particularly like the balcony on this unit, 1035, bigger than most!
We’ve stayed in several of the Phoenix condos, and this was by far one of the best!

This condo was very cozy! Clean and accommodating! Check in was super easy. All staff members including front desk, cleaning, and security were friendly and helpful. Perfect location! Will be coming back for sure. The price wasn’t bad either!

Loved the condo itself but a heads up that that it had no bedspreads would have been helpful. I assume this was due to Covid. Our biggest issue was the beach access. You really need a step and hand rails, as it was too deep of a step for elderly and children. Only other issues were little water pressure and very slow elevators. We really enjoyed our time there and will probably be back. Please fix the beach access!
