Great stay

My husband and I throughly enjoyed our stay. The location is so ideal. Every restaurant we went to was 4-10 mins down the road. The condo was clean & comfortable. Even though this room is walking steps from the pool, we had no issues with unwanted noise. We look forward to booking here again in the future.

Nice clean property with fantastic beach access

If you want a location with convenient beach access, this property is tough to beat. The beach is just a quick jaunt past the pool and just over a small sand dune and there it is, a fine white carpet of sand leading to the Gulf of Mexico. Fantastic. It's also quick access to the room from the parking lot, since it's on the first floor, no worrying about the elevators. Very nice on those rare cold, rainy days (unfortunately we had a couple during our stay). The condo itself is well furnished with a comfortable couch and chairs and the kitchen is plenty big for your meals. Perhaps the only thing I would change is having a bigger TV in the living room. The couch is set back on one wall with a small TV on the opposite wall. Although it served its purpose, a bigger TV would be much better in this space. As for communication with the managers, Jason and Milton were prompt to respond to whatever query I had, so kudos to them. I would stay there again with no hesitation!

Went on Ratings and Expected More

My husband and I planned a little getaway for the weekend and I usually go with properties that have high ratings in the area we like to stay. Our favorite part of our stay was it was a very short walk to be on the beach and the gray furniture on the patio was comfy. Some of the things that we were not happy with was the cleanliness of the property. The shower curtain was full of black mold on the inside and at the bottom. The toilet even had black mold inside along the water line. The light right outside the bedroom window was very annoying to sleep. The pillows were so flat and very little blankets. The temp would not go any lower than 70 degrees. The television in the living room was about the size of a computer monitor! Ridiculous! The ottoman in front of the couch was so small and low. The dishes were so cheap - it was like they went to dollar store on the clearance rack to find them. We were NOT happy with this stay at all as we expected way more. Guess you get what you pay for. We will NOT be staying at this location again.

Nice place. Needs some maintenance to the handle on the sliding door and replace some light bulbs. The floors could use a deep scrub. We expected some sand to be hidden but not to have black feet the first night…

Kenny Chesney getaway weekend

This unit fit our needs! For a quick weekend for the 2 of us it waa just right. The beach was right there with wasy access. We weren't in the unit much other than to change or sleep. The bedroom is a little small, if youre needing space...and the mattress and pillows could use updating. BUT overall a great spot!!

Orange Beach vacation at the Seaside

Orange Beach was the perfect location. It was very easy to locate the complex. Loved the condo. It was very accommodating for me and my family. It was very comfortable and just what we needed for the perfect beach retreat. Conveniently located on the bottom floor and worked great for our family. Keep in mind if you have small children there is no need to worry about stairs or a balcony and they can play off the patio . You can set and relax on the patio and see the pool and walk a few steps if you want to jump in or take the walk way to the the beach. The beach is just steps away. We would definitely stay here again.

Would Love to Return!

The location of this unit is excellent! There were a few questionable things having to do with cleanliness but the owner responded to me and took care of it immediately. From reading reviews, if anything is wrong with the unit let him know! We were confused thinking the listing said King bed and it is a Queen. Well stocked with dishes, no condiments so bring that. Well stocked with towels and the washer/dryer came in handy. We would absolutely rent again!

Loud construction

The property was nice. My complaint is the construction going on was super loud. They were hammer drilling and grinding concrete every day from 9 am to 5:30 pm with the exception of Sunday. This was 20’ from our door, not that it would matter because you couldn’t get away from the noise anywhere on the property. My vehicle was also covered in concrete dust from this.

As advertised on the website.

Easy access, great floor level access to the pool and beach. The condominium was under construction so the indoor pool and gym where closed. Also, the entrance sign was missing letters, bad look. The room was exactly what was expected. Would benefit from a remodel to improve the look and feel. The ONLY complaint is that when it rains the water pools up in front of the entrance door. Makes it gross walking in and out.

Cleanliness

The location is perfect. The cleanliness was acceptable, but it needs a little more touches - the walls, lamps, fans were covered in dust. The bed and the couch were uncomfortable. When you enter, you need to pay $50 to enter and use the parking space. Appliances and the kitchen were very useful and if they worked a little more on cleaning and replaced the couch and sofa, it would be an excellent place. Additionally, the air conditioning was at a bad place in the bedroom - it's like directly over your face. My daughter has asthma and allergies and it made her flare up.

Clean condo, great location

The condo was clean and as expected when we arrived. I couldn't find my email with the checkin info I needed as we were sitting at the entry gate so I had to call the owner, he answered right away & was very kind. This was the first time we ever stayed in a ground floor unit & I will say that as a family with young kids, I'll be looking for ground floor rooms every time now. Just a heads up- the grassy area off the patio had thorns so you couldn't walk on it without shoes. The pool is just steps away, & the beach was just a few steps further. the weather was kind of cool this weekend so having the heated pool as an option was nice to have. We had no problems with the condo. Really no complaints. Would definitely return here on vacation in the future.

Not as advertised

We were happy with the size of the condo but it needs some help. Pictures were of a beachy looking place and the furniture was not at all what Pictures advertised. There was a broken door handle to access the patio. The bathroom drain is broken and the gnats were awful. The were flying everywhere. Opened the coffee maker and they flew out. The bed is also very worn with no support. No hangers. Sad that it was not what we were seeing in the online pictures.
