It has an open floor plan with a comfortable living area where you get that million-dollar beach view! You'll find counter stools for dining and a full kitchen for preparing simple meals.
The master bedroom features a king bed w/ private 1/2 bath where you can wake up to that beautiful Gulf view. The second bedroom has a full bed and a twin over twin bunk and the home has 1 full hall bath and 1 half bath in the King room.

I loved all the deck furniture. I was able to sit out in the morning and drink my coffee and enjoy the view. We also enjoyed taking the dogs for early morning walks on the beach. We really enjoyed being so close to the beach.

Great time, on the beach , beautiful views! Everything we needed. The deck and outside furniture is one of the best rooms of the house! Greg, the property manager, as always, was very welcoming and available for any problems - which we had none! It is a duplex , and each time we have stayed, we have had great neighbors. We will be back!!

This was our 2nd time staying here. It's so relaxing to walk down the stairs and be on the beach. No lugging a cart down the road. It's far enough from the neighborhood access that you don't have many close neighbors. Plenty of room.

ON THE BEACH was an understatement. We walked down the steps and our bare feet were tickled by the sand. After the sun went down, we relaxed on the deck watching the waves caress the sand dunes. The breeze from the surf put us to sleep nightly. We have many stories and are looking at our next trip.

Thanks for staying with us Greg! You can’t get any closer to the water than with this beach gem! It’s great to hear you enjoyed your visit and we look forward to welcoming you back!
Coastal View Vacations
What a view! Step from the deck right onto sand! Very clean! New or practically new appliances, countertops, bathrooms etc. throughout. Nice clean section of beach. Practically deserted when we were there in late April. If you want to get away from the crowds in the Orange Beach area this is the place.
We stayed with our kids and one dog. The house is nice and is described in the ad and at a great price! The property manager was very friendly and available. We loved the location and the closeness to the water as we didn't have to lug all the kids thing and chairs very far. We would definitely come back.

This condo is wonderful!! Beautifully decorated and well furnished!! Pet friendly right on the beach. This time of year the peninsula and the beach are very quiet which was nice. The property manager, Greg, is very responsive. We had a small issue with the TV in the bedroom. He came over promptly, introduced himself, and took care of the problem. We definitely plan to stay here again.

Thank you for staying with us. We appreciate your feedback. The owner of this unit was planning on updating the outside of the unit this spring but rentals have been continuous so he has rescheduled for fall. We agree the inside is nice and comfortable and we are thrilled that you enjoyed your visit. We hope you will stay with us again in the future.
Sincerely,
