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!

July 4th Vacay

We appreciated the opportunity to bring our dog on our vacation. The house was well appointed, and the distance to get to the beach was accurate—the crosswalk button is quick! The management company was responsive. We would stay here again!

Cottage number 3

We really enjoyed our stay at Cottage number 3! The area was quiet, well-kept and comfortable. There are plenty of options nearby for groceries, activities and dining.

AMAZING PLACE!!

The location was the best. Small quiet community very near beach and trails. The house was great as well as the communication. I will be back year after year. Orange Beach is a great place to relax and rewind.

Very poor cleanliness

At first entrance perfect. Needed to wash all sheets before retiring the first night. Overhead fans were filthy. I would have cleaned them myself if there had been a ladder. The whole place needed a deep clean not just a wash over!!!! Will not stay again.

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!

Great place!

Our place was very clean upon arrival. The finishes were up to date and the place was adorable. Not to mention the location was perfect— near the beach, in a place where my child could play with few cars, a pool just a very short distance away and the amenities you would want (Keurig, cable, easy check in & out) etc. Also the owners were very responsive when we had a question for them. I would HIGHLY recommend these owners and this property!! 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.

Beautiful Home!

The place is new, clean, and quaint! There is a pool just outside the home and a larger pool further in the neighborhood. Pool was constantly maintained. The beach is just across the street. It’s about a 4 min walk and has a crossing light. Beach is absolutely gorgeous. Jen, the owner, lives just a short walk away and is very attentive , friendly and accommodating. We had no issues and we were glad we chose this place!! You cannot go wrong staying here! Thank you Jen for everything! We will be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Jen Baudier

Host profile image
I am originally from New Orleans. We now split our time between Slidell, Houston Miami, and Orange Beach. If you ask me I would never go back to Louisiana and just stay 100% of the time in Orange Beach. My husband and I are a blended family and have 4 adult children between us. We even have a daughter-in-law now. Our baby is Peche the rescue pitbull who is the love of my life. Don't tell my family!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Tannin when we bought our home back in 2019. We are down the street. It is the most peaceful place to me. We are big boaters and love spending time on Cotton Bayou restaurant hopping. Boat Days are the best days.

What makes this property unique

Our beach house has lots of space that a stuffy condo does not. You don't have to wait for elevators and parking is right outside your front door. The best part is you can bring your fur baby as long as you promise they are housebroken. Condos in OBA do not let renters bring pets.
