Favorite Child | Cottages at Romar # 7 | Orange Beach, AL
If you are looking for the perfect beach from vacation home - you must discover and experience 'Favorite Child'! This incredibly special and luxurious beach front home in Orange Beach, Alabama is brand new to Alabama Getaway and being offered as a vacation rental for the first time ever - it was previously built for and exclusively used as a private vacation home. The home is the perfect setting for families, friends, and couples. Read below to learn all of the reasons why we know you will fall in love with Favorite Child - just as we have!
PROPERTY AT A GLANCE You realize you have arrived somewhere very special from the moment you pull into the drive at Favorite Child. The home was designed by Stead McCullough, our favorite local architect, who always ensures every detail, inside and out, is planned and executed with the intentional purpose of creating memories, beauty, and comfort through space and design elements.
As you walk into the home, you are immersed in coastal, southern luxury and charm! All of the floors are antique reclaimed heart of pine except for tile in the bathrooms and entry. Almost every wall is shiplap (hung vertically). The decor is coastal and beautiful and drenched in whites, neutrals, and blues. The home has 2 main living levels with parking underneath - an elevator services all three floor levels.
This home was made for dining and entertaining! The fully stocked gourmet style kitchen is a work of art and features luxury brand appliances like Sub-Zero and Wolf and is outfitted with a gas cooktop. You will enjoy meals at the dining table overlooking the beach, sitting at the large kitchen island, or you may choose to enjoy the gulf breeze and dine 'al fresco' at one of the outdoor dining tables.
In the living room, large window sliding doors along the southern wall showcase the gorgeous beach front setting with sparkling emerald gulf waters and our World-Famous sugar white beaches! The enormous beach front deck is an extension of the home's living and entertaining options - there you will find two separate covered sitting areas - with one being an outdoor living room set up complete with an outdoor TV. Step down to the giant, uncovered patio to find dining tables, loungers, a gas grill, and your very own private and heated (for a fee) outdoor beach front pool.
The home has two separate living room areas - a living room on the main level and a spacious den located in the master suite on the top level. The top level den features a coffee bar and mini fridge.
