Would recommend to all

I stayed here with my girlfriend and 4 of our friends. We all loved the location and the amount of space we had compared to similarly priced condos on the beach. The pool being right outside our door was also convenient if we didn't want to walk across the street to the beach. Overall we had a fantastic experience and the house/cottage was very clean and made for a great vacation.

Just what we needed!

The pool out front was just perfect for our 2 and 5 year old. It even has an ankle deep end with fountains. One of us could grill while the other took the kids to the pool. It was a super short walk to the private beach. Zero crowding. The unit was quiet and peaceful. Upstairs bedrooms are COLD!!! We slept so good. I had a few questions and they were answered almost immediately every time I text! She was precious! We will be back!!

Just as expected. This is a nice neighborhood and we would stay here again. The internet speed was a touch slow and the TV struggled. Not a huge deal for us, but may be to some. Also, may want to check the sleeper sofa for some rocks :), but I've never sat on a comfy sleeper sofa. This stay still earns 5 stars across the board. Was well stocked and the property manager was very responsive. This is also the best priced unit in the small loop of tannins.

Wonderful Family Vacation

This location can’t be beat! A short walk to the beach, a pool just steps from your door and the state park trails that are accessible from the community! Our two younger kids loved it and we did too! The unit is great! Super efficient and comfy. Exactly as advertised. The property manager was amazing to work with and super quick to respond for the few needs we had. Only recommendation I have is black out curtains for the bedrooms and a couple extra blankets on the beds. Other than that, 10/10! Thank you guys for hosting a wonderful stay for us!

Great stay!

We loved this property! The location with respect to other things in Orange Beach is great. The house is lovely — well kept and nicely decorated. The checkin process was easy, and the property manager was communicative and helpful. We loved the area of the beach to which this property has access. It was quiet and uncrowded unlike so many others. We enjoyed having our dogs with us, and the village was a gr at place to enjoy a walk with them. 10/5 stars. We will be back!

Birthday at the Beach

Celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday at the beach with my family of 4 and 1 dog. The townhouse is beautiful and very clean. It appears to be a very new unit and decorated tastefully. I did sacrifice being on the beach side this visit for my dog’s sake, but had trouble getting a gulf cart business to return my call and after googling other business quickly discovered how expensive it was to rent one simply to cross the highway. We love Orange Beach and have stayed at various condos. There are lots of family fun things to do near by. The weather was perfect and it wasn’t very crowded. Turns out October is a perfect time for the beach. Will be back hopefully soon.

Family Vacay Fun

It was nice to have a little house all to ourselves with plenty of room for all four of us to spread out. The washer and dryer came in handy as well as the ironing board and iron and Kerig. We enjoyed the beach feel of the house; the cleanliness of the white paint and simple beach prints on the wall. The walk to the beach wasn't that far either and having the private path was nice. We appreciated the available umbrella too. Thank you for a lovely accommodation. We really needed the break!
