We had a great stay the location is perfect, beach across the street and state park behind the property. The best part was being able to bring our two GSDs with us on vacation.

Ben's Beach Bungalow is a gem in Orange Beach. The beach is very close and easy to reach. The accommodations were perfect for 3 people and 2 dogs, and the place was kept in excellent condition. When we visit Orange Beach in the future, we will be sure to try to book this vacation home.

Our family haven’t been together in over 10 years, it was a blessing to be able to spend time with our children and our dogs. The communication was great and loved the cottage and location.

Alabama gave us exactly what we needed—sunshine, slow days, salty hair, and so many memories! This is our 2nd time staying at Ben's Beach Bungalow and it was just as amazing as our first visit. This home is very clean, fully stocked, so close to the beach and many restaurants! Perfect location! We really enjoyed the 2 pools in the neighborhood after a hot day at the beach as well.

This home is clean, well stocked, and has quick beach access. Everything you need is supplied: from cleaning products, to paper products, to kitchen pots and pans. We rented chairs and an umbrella for the week so that we only had to take towels and our cooler to the beach. You can walk through the neighborhood to access the state park trails in less than 5 minutes. We walked the trails daily which is one of our favorite things to do when staying in Orange beach. The best part is that we could bring our boxer Zoey along and we felt she was welcomed. This home is well taken care of and they provide a booklet that explains everything- never needed to message the host to ask questions because all the info was provided. They are wonderful hosts and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a welcoming and beautiful place to stay for the week!

In ALL of Orange and Gulf Beach area, allow over 40pd dog, up to FOUR, AND SUPER CLEAN, as pictured. No smell of other dogs, all the necessary things like cleaner, bags and even treats. NO added fees, straight forward price. Perfect location, access to beach and all the restaurants etc. Close to the Wharf, where we went to Creed concert. Amazing time. You will not find a better place anywhere. Only place we would rent when we return.
