We have dreamed of staying at Turquoise Place for years and decided to splurge for our anniversary. Pros: It was just me and my husband so the condo was the plenty spacious for the two of us! Even if we had brought our family, it would have been fine. The host was great to work with. Very communicative and left an amazing welcome basket with snacks and a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. There were plenty of towels, extra pillows and blankets available. The hot tub was amazing and the views were fantastic! Parking was convenient to elevator and easy to navigate. Since we were there in November, most condo amenities weren’t available-pools, lazy river, etc but in the summer I’m sure they’re fun! Cons: The balcony furniture really needs to be replaced. The couch was hard and saggy and the chairs were very uncomfortable. We wanted to spend our mornings and evenings on the balcony watching and listening to the waves but it was not a comfortable place to be. The hot tub was amazing, however they came in and drained and refilled it the day before we were to leave so we were unable to use it the night before checkout because the temperature wasn’t warm enough so that was a disappointment. Not sure why they don’t wait until checkout day to do that. The sectional in the living room was comfortable enough but stained. Needs a really good cleaning or replaced. We had a great time and Turquoise Place is beautiful, just needs some love. Happy I can check it off of my bucket list.

The condo was very spacious, great location and wonderful amenities. The kitchen had everything you needed, from spatulas to croc pots! Many beach items as well; buckets and shovels, chairs and umbrellas, and even a beach wagon that was very handy! The electric had went out in the whole complex and owners were quick to let us know and make sure everything was okay. We will definitely be returning guests!!

Excellent stay at an excellent property!

We stayed for a week in June at this location. The entire trip was very nice. Communication with the property manager was excellent, and responses were fast and helpful. The condo itself is gorgeous. It was very clean, and had all of the amenities one would ever need for a weeklong stay. Our favorite part was the inclusion of all of the beach toys and accessories. Having multiple chairs and umbrellas available to use was so nice. The view from the balcony was stunning. If we ever go back to Orange Beach , we would definitely stay at this condo again.

The condo was fantastic and exactly what we expected! I wish Turquoise would have allowed us access to the facilities prior to the 4:00 PM check in. This is not a reflection on the owners of the condo, we would just have liked to be able to get to the pool prior to checking in. Other than that, it was a great place and we would definitely consider coming back!

Great trip!

We had a wonderful stay - even with a couple days of rain. The condo is beautiful and very accommodating to families. The resort itself has a lot of great amenities. The view - right on the beach - can’t be beat. My only suggestions is to replace the pillows - especially in the first bedroom when you walk in. And maybe more towel hooks in the bathrooms. It’s hard for a family sharing a bathroom to hang all the towels up. It was a great stay! We will be back!
