Cottages of Romar 22 - Mauna Kea
Orange Beach, AL | Alabama Getaway Vacation Rentals

PROPERTY AT A GLANCE
There are special properties along our beaches that fill you with joy and warmth from the moment you step foot in them…Grand Central is one of those properties. You know instantly that this home is comfortable, beautiful, upscale, luxurious…but there is even more than that! Nostalgia feels the rooms along with endless rays of sunlight…and you can sense that this home has hosted so much laughter and love and seen so many wonderful family memories made! We feel this beach home is about as close to perfect as you get, and we look forward to sharing it with you!!

This home has been used exclusively as a family beach home since built – never rented. The wonderful family has now decided to offer it as a vacation rental. It is in perfect condition and Alabama Getaway is committed to keeping it that way. We know you will love and enjoy it as much as the family who owned it has.

Grand Central is located in Cottages at Romar, Orange Beach's newest gulf front community. At Cottages at Romar, beautifully designed homes with gorgeous architecture form a charming beach community. They share 500' of gorgeous beach front; a large, resort styled zero entry pool; fire pit; and boardwalk to the beach.

Grand Central sits one row back from the beach. The sounds of waves crashing fill the air at Grand Central…and the gulf breeze almost never stops. The home does offer some views of the beach and Gulf of Mexico from multiple rooms and the 2 covered porches. The home has a large and lush shared back yard where families can play or picnic. The home is built up on pilings which creates an extra space underneath with room for parking, playing, grilling (gas grill is available for guests to use), and dining on the large picnic table. An outdoor shower is found in this area as well.

Inside the home you will find 2 living levels. Natural light floods this entire home in the most perfect way…keeping both the home and occupants refreshed and happy!

The main living level features a very large living room, dining room, and kitchen. The living room has ample comfortable seating and a large HDTV. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare and serve meals. A master suite and a guest half bath is also located on this level.

The second floor features another master suite, guest bedrooms and baths, a den with more sleeping area, a wet bar/coffee station, and a guest half bath. A wonderful covered deck with sitting area is found off the den and second master.

A large deck is found off the main living/dining area and features a sitting area and a dining table.

Family Vacation
This home is absolutely beautiful. We rent quite a few homes every year and I would say that this one was the best so far. We were there over Thanksgiving, and everything that we needed in the kitchen was available, so it went off without any issues. The only complaint on the rental (and it doesn't take away how nice it is), was that there is only one extra trash bag, one extra paper towel roll and no extra toilet papers. So with a house that sleeps fourteen people over the course of a week, that is a little unreasonable given the price of the rental. We did have to go buy the needed supplies when we got into town. This is the first rental that I have ever had that didn't supply the proper amount of supplies. To be completely fair, they do tell you in the rental agreement email that this will be the case, but I still found it a little ridiculous. With that said, the house is still very nice, and you can see the ocean from most windows, and it is literally just steps out onto the beach. Plenty of parking for several cars. Lots of stores and restaurants very close by. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

What a great place!
This home was exactly as described & pictured! Beautiful decor & furnishings-very clean. Property management was very quick to respond to any questions. The 2 decks overlook the amazing pool-which my family loved along with the gas firepit for s'more making! Plenty of deck tables/furniture to be comfortable. We appreciated the beach chairs/toys/boogie boards to use while we were there. Just steps to the beautiful beach! We had a wonderful vacation!

Lovely spacious home
After 50 plus years of renting on the Gulf Coast and a few years of owning our own, this house rates among the top for layout, cleanliness and decor. Although, not beachfront, access was easy and the beach was not over crowded.

Great beach weekend!
My husband and I had our three adult children, their spouses, and their children stay with us for four nights. It was a perfect house for our large group. We loved the number of beds, the arrangement of the bedrooms, and the well-equipped kitchen!

Great property!
Loved this place. Location is excellent. We loved the big porch and it was very convenient to have the outside stairs leading up to it. Outdoor shower and hose was a plus to rinse off the sand. Our kids loved borrowing the beach toys, boogie boards and crab nets. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Awesome house in a perfect location.
The stay was amazing. It was a great house in a perfect location and we look forward to booking in the future. Only request is that the kitchen have a few more basics like salt/pepper for cooking that are harder to purchase for a shorter stay.

Wonderful house and location!
The house was wonderful and the location was perfect. A very short walk to the beach and there is a wonderful pool area as well. It is in a gated neighborhood with plenty of parking and shopping, restaurants, grocery stores very close by. We will definitely be back. There are plenty of sleeping spaces for a large family or a group of friends.

Fabulous vacation place
Beautiful property. Easy access to the beach. Great pool for the kiddos. Agree with other reviewers that black out curtains would be a welcome addition to bedrooms but overall lovely comfortable home. We got lucky with fabulous weather while there. Bicycles were an added bonus and plentiful toys were provided. Hope to return!!

Annual fall beach trip
We were very pleased with our accommodations! The home was decorated beautifully. Very spacious and kitchen well equipped. The only problem we had was no ice machine and the freezer didn’t produce much ice at all. Upstairs king bedroom closest to the pool got very hot during the day. Maybe some blackout curtains would take care of that. We will definitely be back!
