Not sure about VR Club
We arrived at 4pm Saturday evening to immediately discover a faulty fuse box popping. I emailed and was told it might be Monday before they could get an electrician. This was affecting the air conditioner. If we wanted to run the AC, the fuse box popped loudly (it's in a bedroom). We didn't unpack because we didn't feel safe. It took multiple emails and sending videos of the sparks and sounds coming from the fuse box to get an electrician ordered by VRClub. We were there at 4:00, stressed and emailing asking for help until an electrician was finally ordered, he arrived about 10:00. Quick fix, a partially melted fuse was replaced, then we unpacked enough to sleep. I was asking them to pay for us to go to a hotel, was told maybe a discount for the first night. We'll see.
I don't know if this would have been handled differently by a property owner, but you'd think VR Club wouldn't have had access to a maintenance person in less than 6 hours. It was frustrating.

The photos online didn't do this place justice. This condo is very spacious!! And the views are incredible. Beds were all very comfortable as well.

We had a wonderful time. Condo was clean and we loved it. Rated Condo a perfect 5, but the elevator definitely needs work, we had to load our luggage for departure by doing the stairs from the 3rd level, not happy about that, but no fault of the Condo rental company

Love the location of this condo, very easy to get onto the beach. Small enough for all to have a spot right in front of the water. Inside was very clean, everything worked correctly and we loved to whole experience. Already discussing renting it again for next year.

The rental was a great location and had plenty of room. Best part was the beach was way less crowded even on Memorial Weekend. You have to drive to most places but very short drives. Would definitely stay here again!

The condo was very spacious and clean. The dishwasher was broken when we arrived. I was told a new one had been ordered. I hope the people before us washed the dishes! Also we were there 4 days and all 4 days the elevator was not working at different times of the day. The day we left it was not working. It made it very hard for my 92 year old mother, who uses a walker, to go down 6 flights of stairs.
Enjoyed our stay.

Great Location
Right on the ocean and beach. This was a great location, view of the beach and ocean every morning. Really just a few steps until you feet are in the sand. This is a low a rise condo very easy to get in and out of . The beach was not crowded that is what i was hoping for when i picked this area. The condo was nice , comfortable and clean. This location did not disappoint!!!

Very pleased with unit , love the detailed listing of this property .
The beach access is short and easy, beach wasn't crowded not a lot of big condos around . Loved it!
There was construction in the roof so parking was limited hit was allowed to park in grass in front . Parking underneath was first come first served.

Vacation

Vacation
Very nice accommodations. Beachfront and beachfacing apartment was convenient with a great view. Reasonably priced. One small issue:
This is likely not related to VRBO but something you should know. We rented an umbrella and two chairs for 4 days and my wife paid $100.00
dollars in cash to the young man. On Friday (the last day) the young man came to us and asked for Mr. Barron (me) and said we owed $210.00.
I called my wife over and she explained she had already paid for the 4 days. The young man and the girl with him then realized “oh yes they did pay us already." Coincidence-maybe or maybe not. To their defense that is a very fluid business with families and individuals arriving and leaving all the time so that has to be a real headache trying to manage the accounts receivables.
In regard to our stay I would return to Marlin/Dolphin Key in a heartbeat. A great vacation experience.

This was the cleanest condo we have ever rented anywhere. Very impressed. Loved the location and the fact that it is a low rise. Less people for the beach. The only negative (2) is that the pull out faucet needs to be replaced. It will spray you if you pull it out to use it. Also, the dishwasher didn't work, which I didn't find out until the night before we left. We will definitely be back!
Love it.

Love this property. However, we were informed the morning of our trip that the property was double booked for the 1st night. We were placed at another property down the road and not on the beach. This really inconvenienced us, messing up our plans for the evening and the morning of the next day. I am still trying to get a discount applied and refunded to my credit card. I don't this is too much to ask. Our group consisted of 2 moms and 4 kids. So unpacking Thursday, then repacking Friday morning and unpacking again once we got to this unit Friday afternoon was frustrating, as well as time consuming. I will say that property management company responded quickly to emails regarding this change, but they would not let me talk with anyone by phone. So exchanging emails Thursday was also frustrating and time consuming.

Have vacationed in Orange Beach / Gulf Shores for many years and this was the best condo and location to date. Despite being the busiest week of the summer our stretch of beach was not crowded. Condo was adaquately supplied for our need and the 3rd bathroom was a huge bonus.

Great condo! Very comfortable place. We had 8 people and there was plenty of room. It's very close to the beach and also has a very nice pool. It's a low density building so the beach isn't crowded. We had a great vacation and will return to the Marlin Key.

Awesome ocean front condo!
This was our first time staying in a condo as we usually stay at resorts, but I have to say we were impressed! The complex is only four floors which made it nice not having to wait as long for the elevator and it is right on the beach so you don’t have to carry all your stuff very far. The condo itself was very spacious could easily sleep 8 had all that you needed to cook meals if you didn’t want to go out. It’s in the quiet area and not as crowded but very close to all the bars and restaurants. We will definitely be back if we don’t buy one for ourselves!

We are happy you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to your return. And if you ever purchase a condo in Orange Beach or Gulf Shores, let VRClub manage your vacation rental.
