COMMENTS FROM OUR GUESTS

We hope that this will give you a better idea of Sugar Beach #227.

  • Here is a recommendation sent by a previous guest to someone interested in renting from us. We thought this might be helpful to you. We understand that it is a little scary to do business with individuals, so this reference might help to put your mind at ease:

"You have nothing to worry about with the Brau's. We were initially uneasy ourselves but have been very pleased with the cleanliness, promptness of the Brau's and the condo in general. We have been down and stayed two times and have plans to go back in March. The kitchen has everything you can imagine you would ever need to use in the kitchen. The condo has a very pleasant, happy feel about it. They have kept it up to date as far as improvements. It's a great place to stay and very centrally located. I don't when you are planning on going down, but in the summer you can rent loungers and relax right on the beach in front of the condo. They have enough pools on site for the entire family. The Brau's furnish upbeat videos for you to watch on the two VCRs in the unit. We've never had any trouble with any of appliances...they are all relatively new. The condo is attractively decorated and very serviceable. We always had the keys about 2 1/2 weeks before we leave. The Brau's have been great. I've never met them but would like to someday.

Also, they have all kinds of information and brochures in an organized folder in the condo about the area and things to do. I think you will be very pleased. I always feel right at home."

  • Very friendly and prompt emails.  Very understanding when we had to push our vacation back 3 weeks.
  • Very clean and well-stocked.  Had everything we needed.  Beds were extremely comfortable.
  • It was clean, the bed slept great!
  • HI LYNN JUST A NOTE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED YOUR CONDO AND THE BEACH. IT WAS GREAT AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO GO AGAIN IN 2008. YOUR KEYS ARE IN THE MAIL. PLEASE KEEP OUR DEPOSIT FOR NEXT YEAR. I THINK WE WILL BE GOING AGAIN THE SAME WEEK. WILL GET BACK TO YOU ON THOSE DATES. THE HALLWAYS GET A LITTLE NOISEY SOMETIMES BUT THE APARTMENT FIT OUR NEEDS PERFECTLY. THANKS AGAIN.
  • The entire process prior to arrival could not have been easier! The unit exceened our expectations! WE loved the decor and had more than we needed. It was so comfortable. The complex was very well kept and clean. It was very safe feeling. We hope to return and would like to stay longer next time. We look forward to another visit.
  • I just wanted to drop you a note to say that we had a great time at the
    condo. Everything was as expected and much more. I would say that we will be back, but we try and go to a different place each year to see some part of the country we have not yet seen, but if we do come back to the Gulf, we will be contacting you. I will also give your contact information to any friends or family who ask for a nice place to stay. From the initial contact to arrangements for our departure, everything had a personal touch that made our trip and visit the best vacation we've had yet. (Especially even thinking of pre-attaching postage for the return of the keys and survey)
  • "This was the first time we have used the Internet for accommodations and the Braus made it so simple! The unit was very nice... everything we needed, in fact, we could have left a good many things behind that were furnished. The perfect place for folks with kids. Loved the sand toys. The information folders were very helpful."
  • "I appreciate the prompt responses to my calls, e-mails, etc. Every detail was handled in a timely and professional manner. It was more than I expected. It was very clean and cozy. The linens were in great shape... the toys were super - we just really enjoyed the accommodations. I found the complex to be neat and well-maintained. The pools were excellent. Yes... we hope to rent again!"
  • "We are having so much fun here. Your condo is beautiful, and everything anyone would ever need is here. Everything is perfect. This is a great place to stay!"
  • "We ere here in '99, '00 and hope to be back next year!"
  • We had a great time! We have stayed in many houses and condos before, but this has been one of the nicest as far as decoration goes. Thanks for a great place to stay!"
  • "We felt so "at home" in your condo. Loved the colors & decor - you both have wonderful taste. Both balls had a ball with the toys - especially the train track & motor blocks. The kitchen is so well equipped and organized. You really have thought of everything. We look forward to coming back next year!"
  • "Clean and comfortable. The concrete construction circumvents any noise. Everything that one needs is close by."
  • "Thank you for letting us use your condo. The decor was wonderful! I really love the prints in the kids' room! The blocks were a life-saver!
  • "...your convenient location and three pools made it an ideal choice!"
  • "We had a lot of fun on the beach. The baby toys you had really helped with the two little ones. Hopefully, we will be able to stay here again!"
  • "I have gone to Gulf Shores every year since I can remember and I have to let you know, your place is ABOVE most I have been in. As far as condition and decor it is by far the best. I am sure you will hear from us again. Thanks again."
  • "Wonderful unit, great location and you were fabulous to work with!"
  • "It was very homey and right on the beach! We loved the room and the 2 televisions (we had many different shows to watch - Disney & sports)... It was easy to find everything and the people were friendly! Very family oriented! We would love to rent again. We know everything will be taken care of and no disappointments."
  • "The unit was spotless and well organized. You had everything we needed. We really enjoyed all the toys and beach stuff."
  • " I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time! The new appliances were wonderful. The fireworks were incredible, the kids were mesmerized by it all. The first two day it was a bit chilly but the rest of the week it was warm enough for shorts and T-shirts during the day! My daughter and I walked for miles up and down the beach and gathered up hundreds of seashells! You were right about there being much better shells this time of year. We loved not having to share the beach with very many people. Although this was our first trip down this time of year, I feel certain that it won't be our last. Thank you so much for the use of your condo. We truly had a wonderful time." New Year's Eve rental

  • "We all had a wonderful time! Dream fulfilled to be on the beach at Christmas. We had ages 4 months to age 64 and everything was just right for everyone. It is the most peaceful place and home-like place I have ever been for vacation. I perceive that God knows where this place is. Some of us cried when we left and it wasn't the 4-month old. Your blessings will be many for you have surely blessed us with such a nice place because He blesses those who bless others."

  • You may be interested in knowing that our guests return the evaluation form with their keys, so we receive evaluations from almost every guest. Anything that is mentioned by the guest that needs to be checked out, is e-mailed immediately to the folks who clean and manage the unit. They take care of it immediately. Since we have been handling all of our bookings (since April, 2000), we have only received one evaluation form on which the guest said they may not return, and that was due to the size of their family (they need more than 2 bedrooms). Everyone else has said they would love to return. I hope that helps you feel better about our place!!! We hope to add you to the list of satisfied and returning guests!!!
