Unfortunately it was located exactly above the garbage dumpsters which were emptied six days a week between 4 am and 7 am, which meant that sleeping late was not an option. Bella was very accomodating with our situation, even trying to find us alternate units which unfortunately were not suitable or cost more. In the end, we stayed and they refunded us a portion of our cost. I would recommend Bella. I would not recommend Sugar Beach 153.

Review of Beckoning on Perdido Bay Rental PropertyOur family stayed at the Beckoning on Perdido Bay…read morein Lillian, Alabama, from July 18 to July 25, 2025, and while we had a mostly pleasant stay with many memorable moments, several issues need addressing to enhance future guest experiences. The refrigerator leaked from the top right, requiring a mixing bowl to catch water, emptied twice daily, and the undersized freezer could only hold one bag of ice alongside our food, lacking an ice maker. During an air conditioning failure, indoor temperatures reached 85°F, causing fridge temperatures to hit the mid-50s, risking spoilage of our several hundred dollars' worth of groceries; the fridge, bolted to the floor, may need coil cleaning. The internet was unusable for modern devices until the maintenance director kindly set up his personal Starlink system, and we recommend a permanent high-speed solution. The property had maintenance issues: the rear porch screen door had holes and was detached, allowing insects like cockroaches and silverfish inside, which we had to handle. Dirty dishes in cupboards suggested inadequate cleaning, a rotted deck board near the grill posed a safety hazard, and low kitchen sink pressure made dishwashing difficult. Closets had a musty odor, needing dehumidifiers. We found insufficient towels and washcloths for the guest capacity, forcing us to buy more, and recommend two sets per person. The living room furniture, styled like outdoor pieces, and dated porch furniture were uncomfortable, and the shelter house hammock was torn. The overgrown driveway brushed our Suburban, risking paint damage, and a deep, water-filled hole created a muddy hazard. The beach path and shore were overgrown, needing cleanup, and the lack of a dock limited activities. Ants on the beach caused painful bites, and the grill's metal bristle brush was a health risk, with a non-functional igniter and uncleaned grease tray. Door handles loosened repeatedly, kitchen knives were dull, and porch screen doors were misaligned. The AC failure, due to a mold-clogged condensate line, was fixed promptly by the maintenance director, who was pleasant and responsive. Despite these issues, the private property offered ample space for lawn games, and the screened porch with fans was a highlight, keeping bugs out when closed. The private beach with shallow, safe waters was ideal for kids, with minimal jellyfish and dolphin sightings nearby. Beach wagons, toys, and chairs were a cost-saving bonus, and the outdoor shower and spigot were convenient. The large, well-stocked kitchen with a gas stove and spacious dining table suited our family, and the living room had books and games, though the TV was small. Updated bathrooms had great water pressure, bedrooms had comfortable beds and fans, and the master closet was spacious. The maintenance director's Starlink and AC fixes were greatly appreciated. We enjoyed daily beach time, fishing for catfish and a black drum, and a trip to the Naval Aviation Museum to see the Blue Angels, 45 minutes away. Removing a few trees could offer an unobstructed bay view from the porch. Overall, this property has great potential, but addressing these maintenance, cleanliness, and amenity issues would make it exceptional.

TERRIBLE COMPANY!!!! DO NOT USE Phoenix V Orange Beach # 812…read more We were notified only a few days before our trip that the pool would be closed for maintenance. When I asked about the splash pad, I was told they had not mentioned any closure, and assumed it would still be open. However, upon arrival, we discovered that both the pool and splash pad were unavailable due to a major renovation project. This clearly was not an emergency repair, and guests should have been informed much earlier or given the option to cancel without penalty. We traveled with three young children, and the pool and splash pad were major factors in choosing this property. The only compensation offered was a 10% discount on the nightly condo rate, which did not adequately address the inconvenience. Unfortunately, the condition of the condo itself was also very disappointing. The unit was in serious need of a deep cleaning and furniture updates. Issues we encountered included: 1. Two recliners that were broken, worn, and dirty 2. A couch that was worn and stained 3. Dining room chairs with peeling faux leather and visible dirt 4. An ice maker that produced only a small amount of ice over four days 5. A foul odor coming from the kitchen sink, likely from the garbage disposal 6. Dishes and cookware that were not properly cleaned, with dried food still on pots and pans 7. A master bathroom sink that drained very slowly 8. An outdated master bathroom with a shower head positioned so low that adults had to squat to wash their hair 9. Balcony furniture covered in dirt and dust 10. Curtains that dragged across the floor and were filthy at the bottom 11. Floors and rugs that were too dirty to allow our crawling baby to play safely Because we were traveling with a baby in the crawling stage, cleanliness was especially important. Thankfully, we brought a play mat, but keeping our baby confined to it throughout the trip was difficult and frustrating. I contacted customer service at Prickett Properties during our stay. The representative was courteous and documented all of our concerns, stating they would be passed along to management. Unfortunately, I never received any follow-up. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this condo. The photos do not accurately reflect the unit's current condition, and the lack of communication about the amenities was very disappointing.

Sent: Thursday, January 2nd, 2025…read more "Mrs. Kahalley, My name is [REDACTED]. I have a deposit securing your rental property at [REDACTED]. I applied and was approved, and I am looking to move in sometime in February, signing a lease this month. I have been working with your staff, particularly Beth Rudat, and I have some concerns regarding professionalism and lack of courtesy. Admittedly, I have been eager to secure this property from out of state as I am under a time constraint. Still, text message responses are being delayed intentionally, or messages or answers to questions are now entirely ignored by Beth. At first, I gave Shamrock the benefit of the doubt, but I did catch what Beth said when I asked her if I had annoyed her by texting too eagerly when she called with the news of my approval. She told your staff that someone had mentioned, "Someone should take my phone away." I thought that was a joke until Beth began ignoring my messages and not answering some of my questions altogether. My more significant concern came after I researched online reviews for Shamrock Rentals and found deeply concerning 1-star reviews from previous tenants about your staff's lack of professionalism and courtesy. Some of the staff at Shamrock Rentals treat the property owners very well but have a history of mistreating the tenants. Is this something I should be concerned about when working with you? I don't want any issues. I am giving you over 1/3 of my income to be a responsible tenant and care for your property, but I don't want my concerns ignored or to be disrespected. Other reviews say that the properties were not cleaned and had damage prior to move-in. Beth is fully aware that I cannot walk this property before signing the lease due to a recent surgery and being out of state on a time constraint. I am trusting you to have this home in order for my arrival. When I asked Beth if there would be a fresh coat of paint, something not uncommon for tenants to request, she shunned my inquiry entirely and wasn't even willing to speak professionally about it. I hope Shamrock is going to be fair and treat tenants better than what I am seeing so far. What I am witnessing lines up with what the online reviews say specifically about a lack of professionalism and courtesy, and it worries me. Please take the time to address my concerns, and if you are okay with it, have Lauren reach out to me to finalize the paperwork. I seem to have annoyed Beth, and she has chosen to be uncooperative with me. Respectfully, [REDACTED] P.S. Here in Kentucky and my home state of Colorado, we often hear famously about "Southern Hospitality." You are my first encounter with the deep south of Alabama, welcoming me to my first-ever rental house in what might be my new permanent state. I sincerely hope that Southern Hospitality is all we've believed it to be." {RESPONSE} Recieved: Friday, January 3rd, 2025 "Hi [REDACTED], Thank you for your email and for expressing your concerns. After careful consideration, I have decided that proceeding with the rental agreement through Shamrock Properties would not be beneficial for either of us. I foresee potential difficulties in the future with you as a tenant and I feel you will also have the same difficulties when dealing with our company. I have refunded both your security deposit and application fee ($1,750) to your USAA checking account. Funds will be in your account in the next 3-5 days. I wish you the best with your move and future endeavors. Aiveen Kahalley"

We rented a house with them and are very disappointed with the lack of professionalism of Shamrock…read moreProperties. Perhaps the name is not Irish and "sham" should have tipped us off. Between the two of us, my husband and I have separately and together signed 13 leases, renting from personal landlords and companies like Shamrock. Not once -- without exaggeration! -- has even one cent been deducted from our deposit. Not once! We have always had excellent relationships with landlords and received our full security deposits. When we moved out of the Shamrock property, the house was significantly cleaner than when we moved in. When we moved in, the house was dirty -- a terrible smoke smell in the carpets, torn floors, paint chipped off, very dirty oven and stove, and 100s of cigarette butts in the backyard. We cannot live like that. Shamrock took care of some and we took care of the rest. (I should add here that we're also home owners and that we would not trust them to rent our home in our absence -- they swore up and down that the house including the carpets had been cleaned, and the latter was clearly not the case. If I were the owner, I would worry about their care for my home and also the accuracy of any charges.) At the end of the lease, Shamrock took almost a month to return the deposit. Imagine our surprise when we finally received the check and it turned out they had deducted 1/3 of the security deposit. Truly impressive what they managed to 'find': a few spots above the stove (which were there before, and the stove itself was spotless, which wasn't the case when we moved in), paint touch-ups ($300), etc etc. Again; this is an entirely new experience for us. We had never received anything but the full security deposit. I understand that the owners of Shamrock may think this is a good short-term strategy, since it pads their bottom line, but we paid above market rate and are likely to be back, and we will make sure to stay clear of Shamrock and tell others about our experience.

We arrived to find: * Leaking ceiling * Non-functioning toilet * Broken furniture, including recliners that collapsed when used * Rusted patio furniture * Mold in the freezer (replaced with a tiny countertop freezer that could hold barely a cup) * Stove with no knob markings, making it unsafe * Extremely limited hot water -- not enough for more than one short shower * Windows so weathered you couldn't even see through them Aronov also violated ADA law by questioning my disability when I brought my service dog. Even worse, they entered the unit without my consent. When I reported these issues to Vrbo, Aronov lied about the condition of the condo, made false accusations about my stay, and Vrbo altered my review to hide the truth. This company clearly values protecting itself over guest safety, comfort, and legal compliance. If you value honesty, cleanliness, and your rights, do not book Unit 103W or any property managed by Aronov Condo Management.
