This property is situated in the beautiful Gulf Coast area known for its miles of powder-soft, sugar-white sand, sparkling emerald-green waters, and treasure trove of family-focused amusements. Fishing is a fantastic family activity when vacationing here. Learn everything you need to know about charter boat fishing, inshore fishing on the back bays, renting and/or docking your own boat, visiting artificial reefs either by boat or diving excursion, and the types of fish you're likely to hook. Take your catch to one of our outstanding seafood restaurants where they'll prepare it for you. Or, make use of your well-equipped kitchen to serve up the bounty.
Golfers love the area, thanks to the nine signature golf courses within a short drive of the beach. History comes alive here. From Fort Morgan to Perdido Key to nearby Mobile or Pensacola and all points in between, there are many opportunities to explore the unique international culture and history of the area. This is a shopper's paradise, with dozens of unique beach boutiques and major shopping complexes. Two popular shopping destinations are the shops at Tanger Outlets, situated just north of the beach, as well as The Wharf in Orange Beach, where you'll find shops, restaurants, and a movie theater. For those who want to slow things down a bit, numerous day spas in the area are ready to help you relieve stress with massages, facials, and salon services sure to make your vacation feel extra lavish.
If digging into nature is on the agenda, visit the backcountry trails, go kayaking or canoeing, and explore the Gulf State Park or Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. There are miles and miles of paved and natural paths that invite you to immerse yourself in the area's various ecosystems. When it comes to entertaining the little ones, visit The Park at OWA, with its heart-racing amusement park rides and midway-style games; spend the day at Waterville USA and zoom down giant waterslides, laze around the lazy river, and let the littles splash around in WAWA World; enjoy a round of miniature golf; jump and play at a trampoline park; or visit one of several fun arcades in the area.
With so many options for fun along the Gulf Coast, your family's vacation can be as high-energy or as slow-paced as you desire. Book your vacation today.

Beautiful property
The property was amazing, the only problem we had is the furniture is absolutely awful. The beds need to be replaced asap, only good couch was the grey one, everything is needs to go to the garbage. (Patio furniture included. )The ice machine needs to be cleaned immediately. The views and property are great. Also a side not the last river isn’t heated and not working winter season. I did try to get ahold of someone at the property to ask before I booked but wasn’t able to get ahold of anyone.
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation here. The condo was beautiful and well stocked with kitchen items. The lazy River was a favorite spot for us and made for a very relaxing vacation.

Great location but needs updates
The beds are not very comfortable. There was not enough bedding - there were curtains for the bedspreads. Only the TV in the living room worked. There were several light bulbs out. Floors were really dirty.

Room corrections/advice
All the beds in every room creaked every time you moved. Not enough blankets or pillows. The headboards in 2queen bedroom were broken. The shower pull in 2 Queen bedroom didn’t work properly. Need heavier or warmer comforter on beds. The floors could be mopped better. When we got out the tub and walked around the condo barefoot we had to wash our feet before getting in bed because they were black

Out dated and dirty.
The floors were so dirty and the furniture so old and outdated inside and out. The only comfortable chairs were at the table .

Property Needs Repairs
Upon check-in, we noticed that there were holes in the bedroom drywall, power outlets throughout the condo that did not work, the entire window blind was broken with broken blinds hidden in cabinets throughout the condo, bed frames that were broken, and very few towels. The beds were as hard as plywood. When reporting these issues to Vacasa, the response was to send out a plumber to change the water heater. The complex allowed too many vehicles into the complex parking tower so there was almost no parking to be found and was difficult.

Condo at Orange Beach, Alabama
There were 8 of us, 3 generations staying at the condo. With 3 bedrooms, a sofa bed, and 4 full bathrooms, it was great for our family.
We enjoyed the amenities of the complex , the balcony overlooking the beach and, of course, the beach.
My only suggestion to the owner would be to supply more dishwasher detergent since they ask you to start the dishwasher as you leave. You will need to go to a store right away, which is about a mile away, to buy food, detergent, and cooking spray or oil and seasoning.
All dishes, glasses, and silverware, pots and pans are provided.
We would definitely stay here again.

We have used Phoenix properties many times but this was our first at Phoenix West. We thoroughly enjoyed the amenities at this facility. The condo had a great layout for our family. It needs some freshening up (vertical blinds did not work) and there was an issue with the hot water heater. All in all we had a good time and would return.

It was good but I thought it smaller than expected but all in all, it was fine. The screen was
Torn and was not fixed so I hope the property doesn’t think we did it.
