Great little getaway
Cool place. Right by the tennis courts, which we used a bit since the weather wasn't great beach weather when we went. Floor didn't feel very clean - our feet were black and felt sticky. But I imagine it's quite difficult to keep them super clean w/ people in and out alot. I have the same issue at my place of business. No big deal. The owner answered any questions I had right away! It was perfect to have the little kitchen for our 3 day stay. Great location! Right across from Adventure Island and right in the middle of tons of restaurants, shopping, & other fun places in OB. $50 for a parking pass, which I was unaware of, but maybe it's on the site and I missed it. Affordable price for me and my daughter to be able to get away for a bit during spring break. Very convenient condo!

Dirty
Terrible dirty the shower had spiders and had not been cleaned shower head had been partially repaired recliner and other chair had dirty stains overall appearance was in need of a good cleaning and painting we feel like for the money we spent we didn't get what we paid for we rented a hotel instead of staying there because we didn't feel comfortable we probably will not rent through vrbo if this is what we are going to get for our money. Thanks for letting us give our opinion.

Response from VrboOwner on Feb 28, 2024
This traveler arrived and immediately complained that “This unit is not on the beach front that vrbo describes in the ad that they showed and we are very disappointed”. Nowhere in my listing does it say this is a beach front unit. It is beach side-meaning on the side of the beach, not across the street from the beach. I have a small side view of the gulf as shown in my listing pictures. After I showed them my listing and the pictures on my listing they responded with “Thanks for showing us the pictures must of been misunderstanding on our part.” At no point did I ever hear anything else about the condition of my unit until after they checked out and wrote this horrible review. They are upset that they didn’t get the beachfront unit like they wanted and decided to make things up to tarnish my listing. Next time read the listing before you book a property. Not right!

A great bargain, great location
The condo is about 3 minutes to the beach. There's a view of the water looking left off the balcony. The size was good for me and my wife. The kitchen was well equipped, and the ice maker is very handy. The bed is soft - whether this is good or bad depends on your preference. Groceries, Gulf State Park and restaurants are close by. Gulf State Park has some great trails. In summary, we stayed about 5 weeks and it was a good stay.

Very pretty and clean condo
We were very impressed with this condo! It looks just as advertised and everything went smoothly at check in. We enjoyed sunsets every night on the back deck. The black out curtains were great for sleeping in on the pull out sofa. Loved the 2nd floor unit with easy in and out for all your excursions. We were very close to the heated pool. This is almost like a giant hot tub since it's enclosed and hotter than most heated pools. Definitely a plus for fall or winter! We had great weather but we had to check this pool out. Seaside had a nice beach too and pools were great as well. We would definitely stay at this condo again when in the area! The price was great as well! Thanks Matt for being a great host and staying in contact with us.

Nice Host but Not Clean
We weren’t happy with the cleanliness of the condo. When we arrived at the condo for our 3 night stay we noticed that the shag rug in the bedroom was noticeably untouched by the vacuum & had debris on it. The comforter had something on it and we took it off and the throw pillows leaving us with 2 thin pillows, along with just the sheet for the night. The bathroom mat wasn’t washed had been flipped over onto the other side. We were going to make the best of it but after we had showers we decided we couldn’t handle it anymore. We decided to go home after only 1 night of staying. The shower curtain had visible mold on the curtain which I noticed snapped on and off for easy washing but it clearly hadn’t been washed. The towels were thin, well used, and had stains on them. As we were leaving my husband put on socks in the bedroom & walked into the kitchen & the bottoms of his socks were black. I have used VRBO in the past and never experienced this before especially to send us packing only 1 night into our 3 night stay. We didn’t want to deal with having a cleaning crew come back and worry about it. I also didn’t feel like washing everything in the condo on my vacation. The host did refund us $110 service fee. I am honestly so shocked by the stellar reviews and that’s why I decided to make my review. I am kind of turned off from using VRBO again. If you stay here, plan to bring your own bath towels, blankets, pillows, cutlery. I would bring house shoes. All linens need updating.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 26, 2023
Contacted guests the day after their check in date to see if everything was good and they responded yes. Not once was anything mentioned to me that the cleanliness wasn’t up to par. They just simply left and I am assuming they were fishing for a refund for whatever reason. I personally drove the 3.5 hours to the condo to inspect it myself and found it in perfect condition. The only reason they were refunded the cleaning fee is because i was never given the chance for my manager to inspect their grievances and see if the cleaning crew should come back out. If the response I receive when checking in is that everything is great there is nothing more I can do to possibly rectify anything. For an honest review you may want to take a look at the close to 100 others.

Great location
We really enjoyed our week. Overall 5-star rating is based on the awesome pool and close proximity to the beach. The condo unit itself and some of the items within it could use some updating and/or deep cleaning, but nothing that prevented us from enjoying our time. I recommend bringing your own pillows.

Wonderful location, but a few unexpected downfalls
This small condo is in a great location and best suited for 2 people. The owner had great communication, checking on us that we made it and whatnot. The property where the condo was located was nice and clean. Beach access was a close walk so that if you needed to run back to the condo, it was easy. There were some things I wish I would've known ahead of time. There were only enough utensils and towels for 2 people. The furniture was a little icky with stains and crumbs/sand. There were many areas that had been skipped over by the cleaning crew, but that blame would fall on the cleaning crew. Overall, we made the best out of the situation and still enjoyed our time!

25th Anniversary
This was our first time to Orange Beach. We had a great time, and we will return in the future. The condo is listed as it states here on Vrbo. And we had everything we needed as far as cookware, dishes, etc. We did experience a little problem with the electric. But I will say without a doubt, that when I contacted the owner Matt he called someone to come and fix the issue within the hour. We stayed here for 5 days and the condo is very nice, and we are happy to say we will be staying here again.

Condo was perfect for what we paid
It's not within hearing or seeing distance of the waves, but a short walk and we were there! Kitchen had everything we needed except for a measuring cup. Bathroom is tiny and the shower head is very low, I'm 5'6" and had to duck to get my head under it, but for the price? This place was sweeeeeet and we are overall extremely happy. Had a wonderful relaxing day on the Gulf! Thanks, so much Matt!!!

Excellent Location
We really enjoyed our 6 night stay at this property. The location was conveniently located near shopping and restaurants. The property was as advertised with three pools and simple access to the gorgeous beach. The condo is in a smaller three story building so it was very easy to get in and out as compared to the larger tower buildings on the property. Matt is an excellent and conscientious host. We had immediate responses to the two questions that came up while we were there. We rent a lot of VRBO properties and this one is definitely in our top five.
