Adults can lounge around on the large outdoor Gulf-side pool, or enjoy working out in the exercise room indoors, or just sit on the balcony and watch the dolphins.

There are exceptional golf courses in the area. Excellent Gulf and backwater fishing, great dining, and fantastic shopping at our 120-store outlet mall. Gambling is just one hour and 45 minutes away in Biloxi, MS. If you feel a party coming on just head east down the beach for a few miles to the Florida state line. There you will find the iconic roadhouse 'The Flora-Bama Club'. This world famous club is on the beach and has live music every night.

Beach House with awesome balcony!

We enjoyed our stay. The Balcony looking out to the ocean was absolutely beautiful. Best balcony we’ve ever stayed on. It was very big and spacious! We loved being able to eat at a table on the balcony and look out at the ocean.

Improvement needed

Overall unit ok needs cleaned and updated. Had an enjoyable week. We stayed there in April ice machine was broke and it’s still broke. Door code was the same as it was in April which seems like a security issue to me. Not enough dishes and silverware to accommodate 6 to 8 people. Tv in guest bedroom does not work. No cable. Unit was extremely dirty found clothes from previous guest behind dresser. Only one dish towel and 4 forks.

Beautiful Unit

I had a terrible time locating the unit number. VRBO never provided it, tried calling management company and the couldn't locate it, then called owner. Thought parking was provided for one car but it was not. A couple of things in unit No wash cloths! No trash can in bedrooms Half the 4 slot toaster did not work The waterfall sound from Holiday Inn covers up ocean and sometimes their noise level was high But overall loved the 3 bdr 3 bath arrangement. Great view lovely pool and comfy master bedroom.

Flying stingray

The condo was very nice, couple of items needed repaired but was done promptly.. We have stayed in this building for the last five years, always enjoyed it, but now the Holiday Inn Express has decided to play loud music for 24 hours a day. until the property managers told me to call the police which I did so the last day was nice. Probably won't stay at this location again.

Great condo with great beach view

This place was exactly as described - wrap around view of the ocean, three beds with three baths, a great kitchen and dining space, nicely appointed. Enough outdoor seating in the balcony for our family to enjoy meals and playing cards. Easy access to stores and restaurants. We loved it and would stay here again when we get the chance!

Being right on the beach was perfect, would stay again, there are a few things in the condo that need attention, the door to the porch is broken, and the kitchen faucet needs to be replaced and the garage disposal is froze up and needs to be replaced as well, but it didn’t stop our vacation, 😎😎😎😎

Great Experience

The condo was exactly as advertised. Beautiful views, only a few steps from the beach, large and comfortable. Having 3 private bedrooms with their own bathrooms made this a great vacation. The balcony is large and shaded during most of the day so you can enjoy the Gulf breeze without burning up in the sun. Overall, this was a great property and we would definitely stay here again.

Loved it. Best family vacation so far

The condo was exactly the space we needed. We had 6 adults and a two year old. Three big rooms, nice kitchen and living room and the patio view was great. Everything was clean and everything worked. The indoor and outdoor pool and beach were easily accessible and kept very clean as well. If you stay here you will not be disappointed. The property manager was very quick to respond to my questions and wanted to make sure our stay was enjoyable. The location had many restaurants close by. There is a Walmart and Publix nearby as well. Ive recommended this condo to my co workers already. It was a great place and I hope to rent it again.

The Motel 6 of Condominiums

Pools were not cleaned daily, indoor hot tub and sauna both broken, property itself was in decent shape. Minimal trash around the outside. Pool deck in desperate need of patching and repair. Room was just okay. Not everything in the room worked. Minor damage throughout with major damage in one of the bathrooms to the vanity. For the price, it was...tolerable. Will not stay here again.

Not as pictured, construction with jack hammers and wrap around patio was unusable

I emailed about the construction I read in reviews. He wrote that he thought it was just painting left and then I never heard back. We arrived to find the patio was torn apart and the whole side was not able to be used. The very small part that would’ve be useable had all the patio furniture stacked everywhere and the white plastic chairs were black. Condo itself was nice inside but no way anyone could stay there with the noise. I texted the owner and sent a video of the noise and dust/dirt abs patio. He was out of town in Colorado and has no idea about the construction. He should have ensured it was useable prior to guests showing up to keep an accurate update. I will be contacting someone there next because I should not have to pay anything as the place was not able to be rented. We flew in from Ohio and one person drove from Georgia. We were able to find another condo about 2 miles down the road which was amazing and the exact same size. Better part of the beach in my opinion. I would definitely use VACASA to rent again. They were amazing at finding us another condo to check in the same day.

Fun and clean. Family had a great time and had plenty of space in and out of the condo. My only request in the future is if the parking pass could be waiting inside the condo instead of driving to a separate location for pick up a mile down the road.

Great place to stay right on the beach

The place and location was amazing. There was some construction on the building but at least they were updating and replacing necessary balcony rails and other things. I typically would give a lower rating because of the construction noise but the hosts were very apologetic and did everything they could to make it right. I would stay there again for that reason.

Gorgeous view!!

We enjoyed our stay! We arrived at our check in time and had to wait for the cleaning company to finish so we could go in the condo. There was sufficient space for two families, one with two small children. The ongoing construction was not bothersome to us everyday, only for a day or so. We also had an issue with a sink and leaking water. All of these things aren’t really the fault of the owner. The condo could use a deep clean from all the construction work that’s ongoing etc. Overall we enjoyed our trip and would definitely stay here again once construction is over. :)

About the host

Hosted by Danny Lasseigne

My wife and I vacationed to Orange Beach after going to Destin for several years. We just fell in love with the vibe that Orange Beach had to offer. The white sand beaches and the nice restaurants, golf courses, and water sports were too good to pass up. We ended up buying this condo before we had to head back home. We are from Louisiana (5 hrs away) and look forward to our get away place in Orange Beach!

Why they chose this property

This corner unit has the biggest balcony we could find! We had to have a 3BR, 3BA because we have a large family. We hope that this condo will be a part of the many memories that you will leave with when visiting Orange Beach.

What makes this property unique

Along with the beach chairs and daily umbrella rentals, the vast pool deck was unique to this particular complex. Of course, the big balcony was also appealing and something that enabled us to really appreciate the beach and water view.
