House did not meet our expectations. Listing was very misleading. Communication with host was not good. We only stayed one night of our reservations and that was only because we could not find anywhere to check in until the next day.

This was our 1st visit to Orange Beach and it was an amazing vacation!! We love the house and fished everyday off the dock. We had 3 manatees come to the dock our 1st day and have seen several dolphins at the dock. Thank you for the great memories!! We plan to come back.

Beach cottage
Wonderful little beach cottage. Quite location, right on the water. Great pier for fishing. Nice outside area with seating, picnic table and sand. Was advertised as a gas grill but was sad to see it was charcoal. There was no outside water to rinse sand off before entering the house. The light in the fridge and freezer was like a strobe light. We called an was told it could not be fixed without getting a new fridge. Just be aware if you have someone in your group that suffers from seizures. The living room furniture was very worn and hard for old bones to get up from, very low to the ground. It was advertised there was a DVD player so we brought movies but there was not a player that we found. We did enjoy our vacation. The home was easy to enter without steps at the front and only 3 steps and a very nice walkway down to the water. Our Granddaughter had a fun time swimming. Lots of boat traffic to watch and dolphins swam by every day. Located close to some yummy places to eat. Kitchen was very stocked if anyone wanted to cook.

Getaway
Was located in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful scenery. Loved waking up and strolling out onto the deck with my morning coffee and listening to waves crashing on rocks. Was able to see sunrise & sunset from the deck.

Amazing location!
The absolute best part was the pier, deck and outside space by the water. Spent sunrises and late nights with a cool breeze out there. Kitchen is lovely and washer/dryer a nice amenity. Master bedroom and bathroom spacious. The negatives that need attention are: 1) roaches both dead and alive, 14 over the course of the week. 2) the sheets didn’t fit the beds. The master bed and one twin kept popping off because they are too small. The double bed is small for a couple and the sheet was square so didn’t fit properly. 3)Towels are quite old and worn and there were no beach towels. 4) the light in the refrigerator and freezer flashed contantly like a strobe light. 5) the furniture is quite old, not as fresh as the pictures show it. Having said all of that….. I would definitely rent this unit again, it just needs some extra attention. It can accommodate a family and you’ve got that pier…. Priceless!

Roach house!
GIANT ROACHES COME OUT AT NIGHT! EVEN IN BEDS! Property is managed by Vacasa and we could not get in touch with anyone the entire time that could help. We left the property at 2am on night 3 of our vacation and checked into a hotel.

Family getaway
Nice property. Beautiful views. Primary TV has a line down the center of screen that was not resolved from a previous commenters review. There were spider webs in corners of the home in certain rooms.

Serene beautiful property with plenty to do nearby
The house was very nice and clean. Great kitchen. The deck was the spot to be for watching the sunrise with coffee, reading, and great conversations with our friends. The neighborhood was safe and super friendly. Walking distance to a great bar/restaurant, The OSO. Your own white sand beach and awesome dock to watch the dolphins go by almost daily. All around great 2 week stay. We hope to find time to book this property again.

Comfortable Coastal Cottage
We were pleasantly pleased with this quiet and relaxing home. We would gladly book this place again. The home is nestled in the shade of live oaks. The home has recently gone through a complete remodel and update. The back patio has a wonderful view of the bay. The dock and boardwalk are the stars of the show. The large covered dock has been completely restored with new decking, a fish cleaning station and running cold water. We spent many hours enjoying the dock. The covered part dock is quite large and comfortable. You may want to bring a powerful lantern if you want to get in some night fishing. Bring your rod and reel as we hooked some nice fish. If you enjoy crowds, noise and congestion this place is not for you.
