Prefer 7 night minimum during the summer high season - Sunday to Sunday.

House has a great kitchen and is decorated for the holidays!

The entire family can spend a fun filled week together in our roomy beach cottage. The beach is an easy, short 5 minute drive away and we're located just one block away from the Orange Beach Recreation Center which offers fitness classes, a gym, heated pool and tennis courts for a small daily fee. Our house is conveniently located near restaurants, marinas, and city parks. Osprey Watch, named after our neighborhood's world famous osprey offers you an escape to the coast - as well as an escape from the crowds.

Start your morning off with a cup of coffee in our porch swing or one our rocking chairs on the front porch. A big live oak tree covers our front yard with shade and the front porch has two ceiling fans to keep you cool. You’ll be greeted by the joggers and walkers that enjoy exercising in one of Orange Beach’s most welcoming neighborhoods.

The home features an open floor plan and is furnished 'beach style' with beautiful and comfortable rattan furniture. The living area contains a love seat, sofa, a recliner and an oversized chair with ottoman for kicking up your feet after a busy day at the beach or on the water. Reading lamps grace each side of the room which gives you plenty of light for reading your favorite novels. The room boasts a media center consisting of a 65' Smart TV. The home is Wi-Fi equipped which can be accessed from the entire house, including the porches and deck. A new addition this year is a beautiful electric fireplace to add some ambiance to your evenings. We're the perfect rental for game day football watching.

Osprey Watch has been our second home for the past 15 years and our kitchen is equipped better than most rentals. We have a deep fryer, food processor, blender, toaster, iced tea maker, cookie sheets and even a cake pan. There is regular food and then there’s beach food. This kitchen is stocked for beach food! There is even an old fashioned ice cream churn for creating memories as well as a delicious dessert. Our table seats 8 comfortably.

Osprey Watch sleeps 6 comfortably in their own beds. No need for a sleeper sofa when you have this many beds. All of the bedrooms, have their own LCD TVs. Bedroom #1 has twin beds, Bedroom #2 and has a king bed. These bedrooms adjoin a large bathroom with tub/shower combo.

The large master suite has new luxurious bedding and high thread count sheets. An antique desk serves as a makeup table and makes it easy to get ready for dinner at one of Orange Beach’s fabulous restaurants. An ensuite bathroom is decorated with beadboard wainscoting that adds to the cottage style decor. The master has a LCD Smart TV for watching movies in bed.

One of our favorite features of the house is the HUGE 600 square foot screen porch which runs the entire width of the home. The porch has new wicker furnishings including two wicker chairs and a dining set that seats 6. We spend a lot of time on the porch thanks to three ceiling fans that keep everything cool. Strings of white lights surround the porch in soft light creating a magical atmosphere.

The porch has a ping-pong table as well as a Bimini Ring Game (just like the one at LuLu's). Visitors to our house stay entertained for hours playing this simple game. Be careful if you get challenged to play by one of the kids!

The screen porch opens onto a large deck which has an umbrella covered patio set for additional seating. The deck is also home to a new CharBroil Infrared gas grill and we have sizzling steak plates for serving your creation in style. With all of this, you may find yourself eating out less and enjoying more family time at the cottage. Our backyard is professionally landscaped and managed and is surrounded by a privacy fence so you can feel at ease letting your kids (or pet) play outside. The deck includes a gas firepit during the months where it can be used.

The neighborhood has 2 private sandy beaches where your kids can play without crowds. In addition, there is another area at the end of our street with a private pier. Around the corner is a small public area with another pier. You are literally surrounded by water in our neighborhood and there are plenty of access points to allow you to enjoy it.

FOR THE BOATER - Our house has ample room to park your boat. We can park our 22 ft bay boat in the driveway and even keep the tow vehicle connected. When you return from a day on the water, a water hose is conveniently located to flush out the motor. Our neighborhood has a private boat launch that provides hassle free launching. The launch is located on Bay La Launch and is convenient for trips to Pirate’s Cove, The Wharf and LuLu’s. Perdido Pass is a short hop away with minimal No Wake Zone waiting.

FOR THE PET LOVER - Our house features a fenced in back yard. The house is pet friendly and most of the house is tile flooring. Our neighborhood is great for dog walking and Orange Beach’s Dog Park is only 1 mile away. Another great option is the Hugh Branyon Backcountry Trail. It's a wonderful paved trail that runs from Orange Beach to the Gulf State Park. It is pet friendly.

FOR THE FISHERMAN - Our family has been in the charter boat business in Orange Beach for almost 35 years. We have two boats and can accommodate your group from 4 persons to over 20.

Wonderful Weekend

My family met to have a memorial for our parents in the gulf and then spend Easter together. This home was the PERFECT place to do that. We Loved the spacious home and the great back deck. Everyone enjoyed playing ping pong, and the back yard was perfect for our egg hunt. Afterwards, my husband and I walked to the members only pier, a short block away, and watched the boats pass by. It was such a peaceful way to end our fabulous weekend. The neighborhood is really quiet, and at the time of our visit, the birds were chirping everywhere, which made for a really relaxing time out on the back porch. Although I probably drove him crazy asking questions, Royce was always quick to reply. The home had everything we needed. We will stay here again.

Lovely cottage/bungalow in quiet area!

We escaped to this property not knowing what Hurricane Helene would bring to our home city. During our travel and time in Orange Beach, Royce took such good care of us. He checked in several times, shared ideas for kids activities, etc. He was so helpful and reassuring. The property and neighborhood was well suited for our family, including dogs. The screened porch was lovely and access to the private beach areas on the bay was a plus. We will keep this one on the list for future trips.

LOCATION, LOCATION,LOCATION

The house was exactly as they say. Comfortable, quite, and cozy. This house has plenty of space with the master suite being on opposite sides of the house from the other bedrooms. It was equipped for all of the families needs. Every bed is like sleeping on a soft cloud and made resting a breeze. Our favorite bonus was the screened in back porch. There was even a ping-pong table, that my family enjoyed several matches on to end our evenings. The fenced in back yard was perfect to bring our furry friend along. The location is key. Its in a nice quite neighborhood, just blocks away from all of your must sees. Also, far enough away that you don´t feel the fast pace life going on around you. You will not be disappointed!

Quick Family Getaway

We were in Auburn for my niece’s graduation and decided to tack on a beach getaway for a few days. Our biggest constraint was that we travel with two geriatric golden retrievers and needed a pet friendly place to stay. We were extremely fortunate to find this place. It’s located in a beautiful quiet and friendly neighborhood which gives you insight into living in Orange Beach. More importantly, the home reflected the pride and joy, coziness and friendliness of the owners. The home had all the amenities anyone could possibly need and had a fun, laid back atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to spending time here again. Thank Royce and family!!

Pet Friendly Retreat

The house is in a great location, it is a quiet neighborhood and is very convenient to get to the beach and shopping. The kitchen and laundry have everything needed. The screened in porch and the ping pong table were a hit with the teenagers and best of all, it's pet friendly, so the whole family was able to be there. We had a great time.

Comfortable gem

If you read all the positive comments about this property and Royce. Than you will see how my wife and I, as well as sister in law and husband felt about this place. Its not often you find a location with 2 King size beds. The beds were extremely comfortably compared to the ma y we have slept in over the years. Royce was great to work with. Location with fenced in backyard yard was perfect. Only complaint, Super hot, could not really enjoy back porch/deck. Would highly recommend this for couples with pets. PS..there is a bedroom with twin beds for kiddos.

Love the location

The property didn’t feel like a generic rental property as it had all the comforts of home. I wish it had been a little cooler so we could have enjoyed the screen porch and deck area a little more although we did get in a few games of ping pong. It was a short drive to everything we wanted to see and do. The neighborhood was very quiet and walkable and it was nice to be able to see sand and water by just walking a couple of blocks down the street! Being pet friendly was an added bonus.

Great home if you need boat landing

We really enjoyed our stay. Royce was awesome, keeping us informed before and during our stay. The home was very clean and perfect for anyone traveling with a dog and a boat. The back yard is fenced for your pet, which is really nice. There is plenty of room for a 22 ft boat and access to clean water to rinse it daily. The landing is easy to access and plenty of parking. Note if you put in from this location you must fish in Alabama waters to return with your fish. We had to put in from FL the days we fished in Florida in order to bring the fish back to the landing in FL. FWC in AL and FL are very strict about where you put in and where you fish. Make sure you understand the rules before launching.

Why they chose this property

I grew up walking along the dirt roads (now paved) of this neighborhood between my aunt and uncles house and our family's house. This place has lots of memories for me... catching tadpoles in the streams, seine netting for minnows, learning to drive a boat and fishing with my Dad. There is even a white knuckled ride along Wilson Blvd on the back of my cousin's motorcycle that I'll never forget!
We bought this house in 2004 and have spent my family holidays here. Christmas at the beach is one of our longest family traditions and each year we travel down from Georgia to keep it alive for another year.
Orange Beach is where we go to relax. For us, that may mean spending time cruising the bay in our boat, enjoying one of the many great restaurants the area has to offer, or just spending time with family.

What makes this property unique

This is a popular rental home and will allow you to experience all that Orange Beach has to offer without the chaos of being on the beach. Experience the beach like a local! This home is best suited for families ore empty nesters who value privacy, convenience and a quiet place to relax and enjoy the beach.
