Orange Beach review

Orange Beach Review We had a large family at the home for this vacation. The home itself was accommodating for our family. Each of the 12 bedrooms has a bathroom. There is a large kitchen/open area with seating for 32 on the main floor. The patios on the second and third levels were covered and were used constantly throughout the trip. The easy access to the beach and pool was great to have. Unfortunately we had several issues in the home throughout the trip. When we arrived at 5pm (after the 4pm checkin time) the home had not been properly stocked. Most importantly there were multiple cleaning issues that had not been addressed. One of the bathrooms had mold in the bathtub and was not useable. The HVAC filters throughout the home also needed to be changed, and it was evident they had not been changed in some time. We also discovered a swarm of termites in the home on our second night. We had to purchase bug killer to take care of the issue. The exterminator did not come to the property while we were there and I was told that request had been closed even though it was not addressed. Last, the door to the second floor patio broke and we had several members of our family trapped outside for close to an hour. We were able to eventually fix the door so it could be opened. Several hours later maintenance did come and fix the door. There were other issues throughout the house that were annoying but did not impact our trip (dryer not working on second floor, door handle to

Spacious but kind of run down

It is spacious with plenty of room but there were so. Many. Things wrong. We promptly reported and it was several days before anyone showed up. Having the only oven not work properly for at least 3 days (and a non functional elevator for the same time) is totally unacceptable at this price point. Some instructions said to strip the beds, some didn’t.

Beautiful views

This house has gorgeous views! Sitting on the back deck enjoying a drink and the views is very relaxing! It was a perfect size for our very large family. We loved that every room had its own bathroom. If I had any issues or concerns, vacasa was quick to respond. It was in a great location close to shops and restaurants. The dryer broke on the second floor. They had someone come out quickly to state it was broken but never was fixed during our stay. We did have 2 other dryers. Home has normal wear and tear from other renters, but does need some tlc.

Family reunion at the Beach

Large, clean, and comfortable. Loved that it was right on the beach! The old fashioned elevator was useful for taking luggage to the 2nd and 3 rd floor. The beach is deep (a lot of sand to walk across to get to the water), and requires climbing a small Sandy hill. It was difficult for some of our family with mobility issues. The deck/balconies got a lot of use from us. It fit our group well.

This house is amazing.

Our family celebrated Mother’s at this amazing home. The home is very spacious and met my expectations. It’s simply decorated not to much going on. It’s close to Stores and restaurants. The views or amazing from the second and third floor. The problem we experience was the air circulation on the first floor guest complaint of being hot. I reached out to the manager Colleen and immediately got air condition guy to come and check it out. We was told due to the doors open and closing with high traffic volume family coming in. It will take longer to stay cool. But just know it’s much cooler on the second and third floor. My family enjoyed staying at this house and we highly recommend it for others to experience it.

Great Layout/Repairs needed

House is a great size but is in need of several repairs. Dryer on main floor did not work. Ice maker on bottom floor did not work. Bathroom switch on bottom floor did not work (had dropped inside of wall) so the person in that room had to shower in the dark every day. Doors on the balcony were warped and did not come together well. Called/texted Vacasa multiple times and only got a repair person to look at the ice machine on the last day of our stay.

Senior Golf Group

The beach view was fabulous. Very roomy house. Great for our group of a dozen senior golfers. Could use some additional pots and pans and a couple sets of steak knives. It sounds like the motor on the second floor dryer is going out. Might want to check that out.

Family Wedding Weekend

Dalarna was absolutely wonderful in every way. Plenty of space for the whole gang and right on the beach that everyone took advantage of sun, sand, and ocean. Ample kitchen and dining areas for big family meals. Loved having an ice maker for chilling our favorite beverages.

So Dirty

Beachfront and pool access with quick car access to restaurants and entertainment are the perks here plus a working elevator in the home! We had ten adults and ten children between newborn - 17 years and the rooms and beds were plentiful. The cleanliness is ghastly. I’ll post pics here if I can figure out how. Mold in windows and doorways; drips of food/drink in kitchen; garbage can with food/crumbs upon check-in; dirty dishes in cabinets and on shelves; food and wrappers in couch cushions; parts of 3-4 coffee pots but no complete set. We purchased two 12-cup makers and left them. For a home that sleeps 30 and costs more than $12,000 we expected to have bowls in the kitchen. There weren’t any. Light bulbs that were out were changed within 24 hours but the request to have the utility closet locked (with paint and other maintenance supplies)…since we had small children in the home…was unanswered. Carpet could stand to be replaced but cleaning it would be a good start. Grateful to have family under one roof from four states to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary but disappointed in the cleaning we had to do on our once in a lifetime vacation.

Our Dalarna experience

The house was a perfect size for our group. Parking was not a problem and the pool was a great amenity. We had problems with air conditioning and ice makers but maintenance quickly took care of the problems.

Awesome house and beachfront property

Our family of 26 loved staying at this house! The eating area was large enough for everyone and each couple had their own room with bathroom and a bunk room for the kids. It was awesome to be right on the beach and yet not so close that we had to worry about the little ones wandering out by themselves. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Beautiful view of the ocean and private beach access

Dalarna was the perfect place to have our small beach wedding. The size was great for housing family and friends, and view was breathtaking! Only problem we had was the ice makers in both refrigerators on the 2nd floor and the ice machine were not working. The one in the refrigerator on the bottom floor worked fine and we finally figured out how to get the ice machine on the bottom floor to make ice as well. Other than that everything else was great! Thank you!

Great place for large group!

This house was perfect for our large group of 27 (23 adults, 4 children). Beds were very comfortable. Some of the bedrooms were large enough to easily add travel cribs or air mattresses for children. Each bedroom had its own bath, plus there was a half bath on the 2nd floor (main gathering area). There were multiple ice machines, washers and dryers, and refrigerators. The kitchen has two dishwashers, two large refridgerators, and a large stove. The main area included seating at the counter, 2 large tables, and 1 smaller table--perfect for meals and games. There is also lots of room for sitting and visiting. The balcony on this floor let visitors enjoy sunrises and sunsets, dolphins, pelicans, dunes, and seaoats. The lower level had another large table and large sitting area. It was a direct walk onto the beach. An outdoor shower and hose took care of the sand before you came inside. The elevator came in handy for children and older adults. Dalarna was great for enjoying this beautiful area! We hope to make a return visit!

Great Location

A group of us came down for our yearly fishing trip and vacation. The house was as advertised except the pictures showed a pool table which was not there when we arrived. That was disappointing as we were looking forward to playing. The location is great and the beach was fantastic. The décor is a little dated but acceptable. The air conditioner in the rooms on the first floor were not working great but not bad for the time of the year. There is plenty of room and the multiple dishwashers, ice machines, and refrigerators really helped although a second oven would have been great. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.

There were a few minors things noticed when we arrived (nothing major that affected our stay much) but after contacting management someone was out the next day to inquire about the issues.

Loved the size of the house. Didn't like the dune we had to go over to get to the ocean. Hard to climb back up to get to the house. Loved the elevator. Beautiful views from the 2nd and 3rd floors. Low water pressure in the bathrooms and outside faucets. Washers and dryers need updated. Took forever to wash and dry towels/clothes. Loved the 2 ice makers. Wasn't very pleased with the price compared to other houses we've stayed at.

The Dalarna house is our favorite and have stayed there for 17 years. It had needed to be refreshed and under Vacasa they have done a wonderful job. We needed maintenance one evening and they were there to fix the problem in minutes. Have booked for 2023.
