Roaches

First of all, I thought I was booking through VRBO. Then it took me to the Vassca website. So I booked through Vasca. I was not happy about this from the very beginning. I had heard bad things about them and read a lot of bad reviews about Vasca and I did not ever want to rent through them, but I did anyway after it redirected me to the vasa website. The first place we stayed was full of roaches and had to be moved to another place.. they put us on beach side, which was very nice. But the place was old dated and ran down. I could not even cook decent meal in the place without burning food in the nasty pans and pots that was in the place. So needless to say, I was not very happy with my stay. I did enjoy it because I’m that kind of person that I try to overlook the bad and find the Good. But the roaches I could not overlook

Could be better

Home is located in a great area with access to beach, gulf shores national park and restaurants BUT the property management group is less than proactive and does not communicate/follow up on any concerns or questions. Home needs minor cosmetic help (paint front porch, replace broken dirty blinds on entry doors, replace the dirty pillows on couch) and the home needs a deep cleaning! It’s listed for sale and the owner should be told of its current condition as it isn’t helping the possible sale!

By the beach is excellent for family vacation

I was nervous renting across the street from the beach as the main road is very busy and we had a toddler with us but there is a crosswalk with a light. The light stops very quickly so no waiting around. It was very easy to get to the beach. The house was clean and well decorated. The mattress was very nice and soft for a rental. The kitchen had everything we needed during our stay. The pool was very close to the house and was well maintained. The community was lovely, quiet, and a great place to go on walk after a big seafood dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break family trip

This home was in a great location. It’s nice being located near the crosswalk for easy beach access. I also enjoyed the surrounding walking trails. The home had everything we needed for my family of 4. It was nice to be able to bring our doggie along.

Very clean. And close to the beach. They take dogs. But there is no grass for them to go on. Not a deal breaker. But just an FYI. We would come back again. Very nice place.

As advertised - in a good way!

Such wonderful accommodations. Clean, new and modern. To allow a pet was even better. Great walking trail within 5 minutes towards the back of the property. If you cross the wooden bridge and take a right, you may even spot alligators (at a fenced-in area). Thanks for a great time.

Perfect

Very clean. Kitchen well stocked. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Great TVs. Nice shower. Liked that it was steps away from the crosswalk to bring us across the road to the beach. Dogs can't be on the beach, so we walked our dog on the miles of trails in the State Park. We found a footbridge in the back of the neighborhood that goes right onto the trails.

A little disappointed

The residence was clean but at the same time very "shop worn." Furniture was worn and soiled, streaks and smears on the walls, some of the appliances didn't work, lighting was faulty. A lot of small things that could easily be fixed and touched up.

Cute Space

We loved our stay here! It was just a short walk to the beach and we were very grateful to find a space for our dog even though the beaches are not dog friendly in Orange Beach. If you’re cold-natured like me, you might want to bring some extra blankets for the beds. Overall, I definitely recommend staying here!

By the beach

Great cozy little place to relax and enjoy what Orange Beach has to offer. Quiet and peaceful for a nice morning or evening walk. Love that my furry family was also welcome to enjoy the sweet little community. Will definitely be back and hope to take a dip in the pool next time.

Stunning, comfortable and luxurious so close to the beach!

Loved staying here and highly recommend! The house had everything we needed for a winter beach getaway. Within minutes walk across the street you are at the beach. There are heaps of good restaurants and bars around and lots to do even during off-season. The house is inviting, tastefully decorated, clean and very well appointed. Plenty of beds for a family stay without being too large for a couple. Thank you for the wonderfully memorable stay at By the Beach!

Roomy Cottage

The Cottage is well maintained and well equiped. TV's in all of the rooms. The kitchen has all of the utensils, gadgets that you will need. the appliances are new and good working order. The photos online are a good representation of the house. We found it comfortable for 4 adults. However, there are some things that we would like to point out: cleanliness - floor had obviously been swept but after walking around during our first day, our feet were black which would suggest the floor had not been mopped. ceiling fan on the main floor was dirty with dust and the return vent also was extremely dusty. The white couch cover showed stains , especially the big one on the back where a male dog had obviously peed. the blind on the side door did not work, likely broken and needs to be replaced. there is no outside seating. Other units in the complex had chairs on the front porch. there is no hose to wash off the beach gear (we went to walmart and bought one so we could wash off our chairs and umbrella). the outside shower was not much more than a trickle. The pool area is in good condition. looks new. good seating, however, there were two umbrella tables and both umbrellas were broken so there was no shade during the day. Lastly, the beach - the walk to the beach is more than a few steps. once you cross the road, it is at least 100 yards to the dunes and then another 50 yards to the water. For those wanting to bring easy ups or other canopies, orange beach only allows those in the designated area which is next to the dunes.

Our family stayed here for a beach wedding. Very nice and easy to get to the Gulf State Park Pavilion. It’s nice to be able to bring the dog with us. Only negative issue was the blinds on the two doors did not go up.

Great space, great location!!

This house was perfect for my family of 3 and our 3 dogs. We had plenty of space with the downstairs living area and the upstairs with the bedrooms. The kitchen had all the essentials for cooking. There are plenty of grocery stores near by from Walmart Super Center to Publix to their local grocery store Rouses. They provided shampoo, conditioner and soap for all bathrooms. And dishwashing pods and dish soap for the kitchen and dishwasher. As well as laundry detergent to use in the washer machine upstairs. Just great small details that add up. Plenty of towels and extra pillows and blankets if needed. The house is right across the street from the beach with it’s own access path to it’s own section of the beach. Super easy 5-10 minute walk. The location is perfect for being close to restaurants and shops in Orange Beach and not a far drive to the Gulf Shores area too! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!
