From time to time things do need to fixed and I gotta say this company has two wonderful people to assist in that. Darlene is a gem! I cant say enough good things about her. She responds quickly, gets the help that's needed AND follows up. I don't think we have ever had a person as good as she is when it comes to maintenance in a house we rent. I really feel like I need to send her something to express how much her help is appreciated. The other person that is fantastic is the maintenance guy, Donnie. He is so calm, informative and just overall a nice person to deal with. His work is always done extremely well and timely! Overall, I would definitely recommend this company to anyone just based on my experience.

Lawn mower, leaf blowers, weights amongst other things were stolen from my property and their response was "well you rented it as is". They couldn't even list the property properly on major rental websites and when I asked them to fix this I was told I had to pay extra to get them individually listed lol. I was deployed to a war zone while my wife was moving back in and they couldn't waste their precious Saturday to give her the keys back. Wouldn't trust them to walk my dog down the street.

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.

Regularly, residents raise issues to the office staff and it takes numerous times of reaching out before any type of acknowledgement occurs ... and even longer (if ever) that a resolution occurs. I have personally raised numerous concerns, maintenance issues, and offered suggestions to Michelle or the LCAM at the time, and all but 1 has been ignored or dismissed. The HOA dues that are paid to First Service are exorbitant for the service that is received. If you have a choice of an HOA management company, I highly recommend using someone else to manage your community.
