Loved the location
Went to Orange Beach for a softball tournament so lots of time spent playing/driving. This condo was exactly what we wanted-pool and ocean by just walking outside so we could make the best use of our free/family time. Surrounded by restaurants, arcades, souvenir shops, Walmart not far down the street so it was easy to do all stops, both needed and fun. The view from the condo was even better than we imagined from the pictures. Our first time staying in a rental by owner and loved the experience!

Nice place. Needs some maintenance to the handle on the sliding door and replace some light bulbs. The floors could use a deep scrub. We expected some sand to be hidden but not to have black feet the first night…

Kenny Chesney getaway weekend
This unit fit our needs! For a quick weekend for the 2 of us it waa just right. The beach was right there with wasy access. We weren't in the unit much other than to change or sleep. The bedroom is a little small, if youre needing space...and the mattress and pillows could use updating. BUT overall a great spot!!

Orange Beach vacation at the Seaside
Orange Beach was the perfect location. It was very easy to locate the complex. Loved the condo. It was very accommodating for me and my family. It was very comfortable and just what we needed for the perfect beach retreat. Conveniently located on the bottom floor and worked great for our family. Keep in mind if you have small children there is no need to worry about stairs or a balcony and they can play off the patio . You can set and relax on the patio and see the pool and walk a few steps if you want to jump in or take the walk way to the the beach. The beach is just steps away. We would definitely stay here again.

Would Love to Return!
The location of this unit is excellent! There were a few questionable things having to do with cleanliness but the owner responded to me and took care of it immediately. From reading reviews, if anything is wrong with the unit let him know! We were confused thinking the listing said King bed and it is a Queen. Well stocked with dishes, no condiments so bring that. Well stocked with towels and the washer/dryer came in handy. We would absolutely rent again!

Loud construction
The property was nice. My complaint is the construction going on was super loud. They were hammer drilling and grinding concrete every day from 9 am to 5:30 pm with the exception of Sunday. This was 20’ from our door, not that it would matter because you couldn’t get away from the noise anywhere on the property. My vehicle was also covered in concrete dust from this.

As advertised on the website.
Easy access, great floor level access to the pool and beach. The condominium was under construction so the indoor pool and gym where closed. Also, the entrance sign was missing letters, bad look. The room was exactly what was expected. Would benefit from a remodel to improve the look and feel. The ONLY complaint is that when it rains the water pools up in front of the entrance door. Makes it gross walking in and out.

Cleanliness
The location is perfect. The cleanliness was acceptable, but it needs a little more touches - the walls, lamps, fans were covered in dust. The bed and the couch were uncomfortable. When you enter, you need to pay $50 to enter and use the parking space. Appliances and the kitchen were very useful and if they worked a little more on cleaning and replaced the couch and sofa, it would be an excellent place. Additionally, the air conditioning was at a bad place in the bedroom - it's like directly over your face. My daughter has asthma and allergies and it made her flare up.

Clean condo, great location
The condo was clean and as expected when we arrived. I couldn't find my email with the checkin info I needed as we were sitting at the entry gate so I had to call the owner, he answered right away & was very kind. This was the first time we ever stayed in a ground floor unit & I will say that as a family with young kids, I'll be looking for ground floor rooms every time now. Just a heads up- the grassy area off the patio had thorns so you couldn't walk on it without shoes. The pool is just steps away, & the beach was just a few steps further. the weather was kind of cool this weekend so having the heated pool as an option was nice to have. We had no problems with the condo. Really no complaints. Would definitely return here on vacation in the future.

Not as advertised
We were happy with the size of the condo but it needs some help. Pictures were of a beachy looking place and the furniture was not at all what Pictures advertised. There was a broken door handle to access the patio. The bathroom drain is broken and the gnats were awful. The were flying everywhere. Opened the coffee maker and they flew out. The bed is also very worn with no support. No hangers. Sad that it was not what we were seeing in the online pictures.

Excellent for a weekend getaway
Boyfriend and I stayed in 4111 for a weekend getaway, and this unit was perfect for two people. Right next to one of the pools and literally steps from the beach. Everything was clean! Will definitely consider staying again. My only complaint was the bed, my side kind of sagged, I think either the frame is broken or there’s a busted spring. But really that was the only thing! I still slept fine!

September Vacation
Everything was made so easy for us. The key code to the door and the beach entrance was provided before we came. We were able to park right beside our ground floor condo. We had never had a ground level condo but really liked how easy it made our treks to the beach and pool. The condo was nice and had everything we needed. It was small but perfect for the two of us.
