2 BR Penthouse Condo | Stunning View | Beach Club
It was as advertised! Beautiful view from the balcony, beach was not overly crowded and the elevators were great- after you stay in a few of these large condos you realize how important that is! Booked for 6 days and on day 4 there was an electrical fire which forced everyone to evacuate the building. Enjoyed the penthouse except for that day as electricity was shut off so their elevators didn’t work and we had to lug all of our stuff down 16 flights :( Terrible timing and obviously a huge inconvenience for our vacation to say the least but luckily no one was hurt/injured in the situation and Joe was awesome throughout the 2 day ordeal- he even allowed us to stay at another property he manages for free on the 2nd night. The owners also immediately refunded us for 2 full days. So even though our vacation didn’t end as planned, it was no fault of anyone but we appreciated the response we got and I would stay there again without hesitation!

Coastal Comfort Cove
Was my first time visiting Gulf Shores. The condo was beautiful and comfortable. The access to the beach perfect. There is nothing but positive things. Our trip was awesome!

Beachfront and pet friendly! And 2 pools!
Cori's place was a perfect place for a vacation! The condo was very clean and cute. We loved being right on the beach. The view from the balcony was absolutely amazing. We loved that it was family and dog friendly. The indoor and outdoor pool were really nice to have. The condo was in a great location and we enjoyed spending time on the beach, being close to Gulf State Park, Fort Morgan, OWA Park, shopping, and restaurants.

Serenity Reef #B Gulf view unit near Flora Bama
Everything was super clean, and the beds were so comfortable! The location is absolutely perfect if you intend on spending time at the flora-bama and it was a quick 15 minute drive to the wharf with no traffic. Absolutely will be staying here again!

Caribbean Blue steps from the beach
We had a wonderful honeymoon stay at Olga’s condo! It was peaceful, beautiful, and lots of fun! The walk to the beach was easy! The patio view of the pool and palm trees was really cute! Very secure and perfect for our 5 day/4 night stay! Easy communication and we really had no problems or questions at all! Washer / dryer and ice maker were nice “extras” to have! Thank you so much for the wine and late check out accommodations!

Bama Breeze Airstream
My wife and I enjoyed our stay. This was the perfect spot for our weekend getaway with our JetSki. Haleigh's place is just down the road from a very nice boat ramp on the Bon Secour River. There was plenty of parking for our truck and JetSki trailer next to the Airstream. The inside of the Airstream was very clean and had everything we needed, including cold air conditioning. It's conveniently located - just a short drive to many great restaurants. We look forward to staying at Haleigh's place again in the future.

Ocean-views, easy beach access, beautiful remodel
This is a great place to stay. Everything was as described. Perfect distance to the beach. The pool was so nice and the sunsets over the bay was priceless. Looking forward to staying again.

Sunny Daze - Make the Most of Your Beach Vacation!

Free Heated Pool Discounts 6bd/4ba Steps2Beach
This beach house is great for a big family! A small private pool is perfect for hanging out, just a block from the beach with water and beach views! Our family loved it and we hope to do it again!

Come stay at Seas~the~Day!! 6th Floor magic!
Loved the condo and location. Wished we discovered the cart room upon arrival (next to the elevator), but used one to leave.

Cottage Steps From The Beach. Make sandy memories
Very beautiful place! It was perfect for our trip! Would definitely stay again

Lagoon & Beach! Private Pool, Sleeps 12, Location
Great location to the beach, quiet neighborhood, great outdoor space, beautiful views of the lagoon, comfortable beds!

4 night Discount, Pool, Steps to Sand
Everything about this home was AMAZING! From the exceptional customer service to the most helpful guidebook that provided us an idea of how to navigate the home and the surrounding area, I’m simply amazed and satisfied! The home was clean and sanitized to perfection. I quickly realized how welcoming the hosts wanted to make us feel right at home by walking into a fully equipped kitchen, just waiting to be used. Not to mention the bathrooms were stocked with even the smallest items that are usually simple and easy to forget during travel…Derek has you covered. The 3 headed shower was AHHMAZZZING!! The pool was literally steps away as mentioned. The beach access wasn’t too far of a walk and it was actually pleasant to have your own quiet space. The arcade game and board games kept our family entertained in the evenings. My family and I truly enjoyed this home and we look forward to staying again in the future!

Beach house with private beach and designer decor
The Kraftzee Cottage was even more beautiful as the pictures shown. Once you step inside the spacious home, you just feel very comfortable and ready to relax. We did not have to search for everything in the beautiful Kitchen to be able to prepare a meal. Everything was so neatly put away and no clutter. I have to have my morning cup of coffee! And having the coffee right there readily available with all the accessories to make a really great cup of coffee was a great day to start anyone’s day!! The bedrooms were nicely decorated and beds very comfortable!! I loved waking up to the outside shining in through the terrace. And being able to have my coffee out there!! It’s a great place to spend some quality time with friends and family! Allison is an awesome host!! She responded very promptly. And was very helpful. Definitely if anyone is looking for a great experience in Orange Beach, to stay at the Kraftzee Cottage. You will not regret it. And will not want to leave!

Steps to Beach|Ocean Views|PuttPutt| Dog-Friendly
Absolutely gorgeous beach house, steps from the beach. Less of a walk to the beach than any condo bldg we have ever stayed in. Perfect location, out of the hustle and bustle of downtown. My son loved the putt putt course under the house. Two outdoor showers were a tremendous plus. Gorgeous beach view from inside and outside of the house. Huge deck for family lounging. Perfect neighborhood!! House and Beach are both dog friendly which made our vacation so much less stressful. Roseanne was extremely helpful and checked in to make sure the house was as described!! Definitely saving this one for our next trip to the gulf shores/fort Morgan area!

Cozy Beach Cottage/Com. Ice Maker 5* reviews 8 yrs
We had a great stay! Loved the house it was clean and plenty of room for our 5 adults and 4 small children. Jennifer was fantastic and very responsive. Would definitely recommend this place. If possible, I’d say rent a golf cart as that was extremely helpful in getting to and from the beach!

Special pricing! Awesome beachfront condo for you!
We really enjoyed our stay, the condo is beautifully updated. The view is incredible. The access to pools and the beach was wonderful. We would definitely recommend and choose to stay again.

Gulf Front Condo in Orange Beach
We had an amazing stay at Tara and Aaron’s beautiful place. Everything was so well appointed from enough hooks in the shower to a master closet with shelves for all of our stuff. We appreciated all the things that made the stay homey, like the pitcher for our sweet tea, crockpot, basic spices etc. A trash bag, small dish soap, a couple basic travel toiletries, one dish pod and one laundry pod are provided so plan accordingly if you think you need more. Publix and Walmart are in driving distance. The space was clean, and the Tidewater resort itself felt really safe with an onsite security officer. We would be so happy to stay here again, it was everything we hoped for and more! Thanks Tara and Aaron!

Cute Beachfront | Steps to Sand | Cozy by the Tide
Great Host. Perfect place for a beach vacation!

Blue Horizon - Beachfront Escape
Fantastic place to get away. We are already looking for another opportunity to visit. The Beach Club has a wonderful setup and is perfectly place minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores. The unit was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. I fully recommend this unit and resort. Two thumbs up!

Cozy Beach Condo with *heated pool *private beach*
Just stayed for Memorial Day Weekend and was more than pleased! Great value with beautiful beach access (has its own little snack shack that had good beach day drinks). Parking was covered and on ground floor of condo so convenient. Balcony doesn’t have beach front view (on the road side) but still has a good size balcony. Host communicated excellently and checked all the boxes for amenities and necessities.

Phoenix V beachfront new remodel booking summer!
Great place to stay—conveniently located near everything you might want to visit in the area.

Lighthouse PH2
We love the place. It was so much room. We felt right at home. The view was breathtaking. Me and my Husband enjoyed our 15th Anniversary. We will be back soon. We give it a 1000/10. Awesome place. Laura was just a call away. Thank you
