This property is situated in the beautiful Gulf Coast area known for its miles of powder-soft, sugar-white sand, sparkling emerald-green waters, and treasure trove of family-focused amusements. Fishing is a fantastic family activity when vacationing here. Learn everything you need to know about charter boat fishing, inshore fishing on the back bays, renting and/or docking your own boat, visiting artificial reefs either by boat or diving excursion, and the types of fish you're likely to hook. Take your catch to one of our outstanding seafood restaurants where they'll prepare it for you. Or, make use of your well-equipped kitchen to serve up the bounty.

Golfers love the area, thanks to the nine signature golf courses within a short drive of the beach. History comes alive here. From Fort Morgan to Perdido Key to nearby Mobile or Pensacola and all points in between, there are many opportunities to explore the unique international culture and history of the area. This is a shopper's paradise, with dozens of unique beach boutiques and major shopping complexes. Two popular shopping destinations are the shops at Tanger Outlets, situated just north of the beach, as well as The Wharf in Orange Beach, where you'll find shops, restaurants, and a movie theater. For those who want to slow things down a bit, numerous day spas in the area are ready to help you relieve stress with massages, facials, and salon services sure to make your vacation feel extra lavish.

If digging into nature is on the agenda, visit the backcountry trails, go kayaking or canoeing, and explore the Gulf State Park or Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. There are miles and miles of paved and natural paths that invite you to immerse yourself in the area's various ecosystems. When it comes to entertaining the little ones, visit The Park at OWA, with its heart-racing amusement park rides and midway-style games; spend the day at Waterville USA and zoom down giant waterslides, laze around the lazy river, and let the littles splash around in WAWA World; enjoy a round of miniature golf; jump and play at a trampoline park; or visit one of several fun arcades in the area.

With so many options for fun along the Gulf Coast, your family's vacation can be as high-energy or as slow-paced as you desire. Book your vacation today.

Beautiful property

The property was amazing, the only problem we had is the furniture is absolutely awful. The beds need to be replaced asap, only good couch was the grey one, everything is needs to go to the garbage. (Patio furniture included. )The ice machine needs to be cleaned immediately. The views and property are great. Also a side not the last river isn’t heated and not working winter season. I did try to get ahold of someone at the property to ask before I booked but wasn’t able to get ahold of anyone.

The unit itself is nice and big. The furnishings leave a lot to be desired. The master bedroom bed is horrible.

Cleanliness

bring us back. The problem was the room. The floors were absolutely disgusting. We had to wear shoes or our feet were black on the bottom. The company sent someone out to clean the floors, still subpar clean. The only room with carpet wast he master closet, there was visible debris, there was a fishhook and line on the floor. SUCH a Hazard. There was dust on the glass shelves which was obviously not wiped in months. The beds were loud and uncomfortable. Desperately needs updating. We would recommend the facility, but get a different room.

Great stay

Before going, I read the reviews about the beds being hard and towels being rough. It might be they have resolved these issues, but we didn’t have a problem. Beds are memory foam so could be very different in experience if you’re used to another mattress type. Towels were your basic hotel quality, not terrible. Wi-Fi was awful, but it wasn’t much better outside the condo, so it might not be an issue specific to this unit. Overall everything was great.

Great, fun place.

We loved everything but the garage. It needed some kind of airflow. Super hot. But the condo was beautiful and the pools were just the best. Access to the beach was a very short walk. Everything was clean and organized. Security was great!

Great Location

This condo is located in a perfect spot in Orange Beach. The amenities were great and the kids loved the lazy river. I would have given this a 5 star but two of our bedrooms still had dirty sheets on the bed, the cups and plates were dirty and the floor felt like we had been there a week already. Cell service in general was horrible and the WiFi was no help. We had people with AT&T and Verizon, both were spotty at best.

Spacious & convenient, a bit dated

Very spacious unit with ample room for family. Well stocked kitchen. Decor is a bit dated and furniture is not the most comfortable. Sofa bed is unusable. The unit is sufficient for a trip though. Ice maker is a bit loud even when ice is full.

Stay away

Floors in the unit were filthy, wash machine didn’t work for our 28 day stay, dishwasher didn’t dispense soap for 12 days, ice maker at wet bar took 12 days to be repaired , blinds across the 25’ window would not operate. We were to get a call from Meyer reality(Now Vacasa) never called. All the people that came to look at things tried a bandaid fix. Spent our vacation on the phone with Vacasa over 28 calls. The local appliance vendor did what he could do, said both washer and dishwasher need to be replaced. I know why Vacasa is rated one star out of five. Will never rent a Vacasa property again.

Terrible Customer Service

I walked into the bedroom with the double beds and it looked like a construction zone. There were two drywall patches on the wall that were still wet and when my five year old sat on one of the beds it collapsed. There was also a clogged shower in one of the bathrooms. I called Vacasa to inform them of the condition of the wall and to get the bed repaired and the shower unclogged. I was told that a maintenance ticket would be put in and a manager would contact me to discuss compensation for the inconvenience. I called on Monday and maintenance did not come until Wednesday, when I called a second time to report the issues again. Maintenance repaired the bed and unclogged the shower, but did nothing about the unsightly wall. I checked out on Friday and still had not heard from a manager until I called a third time after we checked out. Based on this terrible experience I will never rent this unit, or units managed by Vacasa again.

Good condo

Good condo for the beach. Condo needs new furniture, an update and some TLC. Beds were by far the most uncomfortable things ever. Couch bed included. We all slept terrible. The shades to cover the balcony windows were missing half of them. All of The patio furniture felt like it was falling apart every-time we sat in them.

Great condo!

Came and stayed here for my 30th birthday for a short weekend trip! Very nice condo, would definitely stay there again. Theres only 2 negative things I would say. 1) there's no real comforters on the bed, it's like a very light quilt. 2) they don't inform you in Vacasa about the $35 parking pass. Other than that, I have no complaints. The lazy river was awesome and the waterslide was so fun!

Great location but needs updates

The beds are not very comfortable. There was not enough bedding - there were curtains for the bedspreads. Only the TV in the living room worked. There were several light bulbs out. Floors were really dirty.
