House was spotless! We enjoyed the property-close to Orange beach shopping. House is well stocked with basics. While beach is technically walking distance, you do have to cross a very busy street to get to it. There is public parking less than a mile a way for 10/day. Easy check out.
This home is more beautiful than the pictures show! It’s just perfect and provided a wonderful place for our family to stay! The owner is always quick to respond with any questions you may have. We hope to be back again in the future!
Great, great property. Convenient location, close to everything in a gated community. Home was clean with all the amenities you could ask for, including kayaks and a grill. TV's in every room worked great with kids. We had no complaints at all with the property. Now, here is why I lowered the review by one star. Asking guests to strip the beds and pillowcases is not a good practice,AND when you charge a 335 cleaning fee, it is unreasonable to ask your guests to do the housekeeping. I believe that for a 335 cleaning fee, you should be able to walk out just like a hotel, without bagging trash, gathering towels and stripping beds. That's just my input.Bottom line. The home is great, plentiful amenities and you will love your time there.
What a beautiful property. The two weeks I was there we numbered four to nine of us. The house accommodated all of us!! Eric was amazing, always answered my questions in a timely manner! Right across the road was the gulf and a bayou in the back yard! I have stayed in many Properties and this one is right at the top. Thank you!
Quiet and friendly neighborhood, easy access to groceries and restaurants, beach access, pool area, big, clean and loved the multiple decks!! We cooked in and the grill was so nice and clean. We truly enjoyed our stay!!
We enjoyed our time here! The house was great for our group of 9 ranging in age from 4-70. Eric is easy going and the communication was great. We loved the house, and would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful week at this property! Best bang for your buck in this house versus a condo. Property is located in great proximity to wonderful restaurants, grocery stores, some shopping and of course the beach. I would definately stay at this property again!
This was our second stay and our experience was every bit as great this time around.. The place was spotless, well appointed and very comfortable. Our host, Eric was extremely accessible and addressed any questions or concerns almost instantly. We would recommend this property to anyone.
We absolutely loved our ur stay on Mariner Circle. We loved being close to the beach and entertainment, while still able to retreat to a quiet place once the day was done. The family took advantage of the pool and tennis courts that were close by and my personal favorite was the built in ice maker. We were able to fill our coolers and not go to the gas station for ice. We would definitely stay again!!
Everything was exactly as described and very clean. Our host responded very quickly to all questions! We would definitely love to come back again someday!
The house is absolutely amazing!!! Pictures are fantastic but seeing it in real life is captivating. All the main rooms are on the bottom floor and the master living and kitchen with a separate entertainment room is on the second floor. The home is clean, cold, spacious, and in a gated community. It has a pier to fish off of, a swimming pool, and close to all the eateries and beach. The neighborhood was very quiet and nice and private. If you're looking for security and have little ones perfect place to book. Eric, our host was wonderful and answered any of our questions that we had. The house comes fully stocked with anything that you would need for your stay. Dishes. Cookware, a grill, kayaks, chairs, toilet paper, towels, trash bags, Saran wrap, aluminum foil etc. Etc. Also multiple balconies that you can just chill on. A main balcony in the front and two in the back upstairs and downstairs. We parasailed while we were there and booked a dolphin cruise... Our teenagers enjoyed both excursions. We also had a send off dinner at Fora-bama. It was super packed and the wait was an hour and a half. If you want to visit there, you might want to go during less peak times. It was very hot and humid during our stay and our last day at tropical depression rolled in and cooled everything off. We had the absolute best time and I'm so happy that we were able to visit Alabama Gulf shores. This was a celebration for my mother's double transplant that she received 18 months ago.
Very large, spacious house with a great open floor plan and in a great neighborhood. Great location with easy access to anything in Orange Beach. Owner was very easy to work with and easy to communicate with. He also helped us secure a couple of boat slips for our pontoon boat and bay boat. We had a great stay and highly recommend you give it a try.
I’d give this property six stars if I could. We spent the month of February here and everything was perfect. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of room to spread out, including three spacious decks. Eric, our host, was very responsive and answered our questions within minutes.
We enjoyed our stay at the house. It is just as described in the listing. My only concern initially was crossing the street to get to the beach, but I really had no issues. The host is very helpful and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend booking this house for your next trip.
This house was better than you could even imagine in a safe neighborhood and convenient to everything. Perfect family vacation! Upon arrival house was immaculately clean and absolutely gorgeous. Plenty of room for everyone, comfy beds, plenty of towels and kitchen was stocked with everything needed including extra ice for coolers. Boat slip, pool and tennis courts all just a few houses down and beach just a short walk away. Great communication with host. We really enjoyed our entire stay!
What an awesome experience we had. The house was absolutely beautiful. We definitely had more than enough space for our entire family. The kitchen is fully stocked. You do not need to bring anything kitchen related with you! All the bedrooms are very good size and decorated beautifully.
Highly recommend.
Beautiful house. Cozy, clean, and trendy.
Great location. Just across the street from ocean. Walk is not bad. Even crossing the four lane road was not a problem.
Communication with owner was highly responsive and polite.
Amenities in neighborhood are well taken care of and fun.
Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Host was very helpful, the beach here is a great place to watch fireworks on July 4th, crossing 5 lanes of busy traffic with kids can be challenging, and the Palm across the street which is your designated beach access will not let you unload in their lot, but there is a public access just down the road if you want to drive and unload and park your chairs there, house was very accommodating for the 3 families we had staying there, kitchen was more than stocked with everything we needed to cook all our meals. Loved having the 2 car garage for parking and leaving all sandy beach items. Lots of porches to enjoy, quiet neighborhood. Beautiful beaches. Clean home.
This holiday home was perfect for us to visit from the UK and meet together with some of our family now living near Atlanta. The house was the perfect size with a lovely big lounge/kitchen where we could all collect. It was super clean, in very good condition and had all the facilities we needed. Situated in a great location with the Beach on one side and Cotton Bayou on the other, then it's perfect for all your holiday needs. Eric kept in touch with us provided all the information we needed, thanks for being a great host. I can thoroughly recommend this property and look forward to visiting again in the future!
We stayed for a week in this home with 3 small families Ali g with our kiddos and it could not have been more perfect! Location was fabulous! Short and easy walk to the beach. Right down the street from the neighborhood pool and beautiful views of the bay (?) on the opposite side of the home. We cooked almost every meal (with the exception of one night out) and it had pretty much everything we needed! Will definitely book this house again!!
Beautiful and clean home in a quiet small neighborhood
If you are looking for a place to stay for your family this is the place. I am very picky when it comes to finding a place for my family to enjoy and feel comfortable for a week at the beach. This house was perfect. The house is immaculate and the beds are comfortable. The balconies are nice for quiet time in the morning. We used the public beach access a short drive down the road and it was easy to enjoy a day at the beach. My husband and daughter took the kayaks out one morning. Eric was very helpful and quick to answer any of our questions. Everyone in the neighborhood was friendly. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone.
This house was the perfect size for our extended family group of nine, which included three children. Beautifully decorated and spacious, it provided plenty of bedrooms and baths for each family group. Along with the beach and pool, it was the ideal spot for creating many special family memories! Lots of good restaurants nearby. We hope to make this our annual vacay spot. We loved it!
*Side note with no reflection on the amazing property: although proximity to the beach is right across the street as promised, we decided it was a bit too busy to cross with children. So we drove the short distance to the beach parking lot. It just made hauling kids and beach gear a little easier, and was still very convenient.

About the host
Hosted by Eric Johnson
I grew up along the Gulf Coast and have lived in various locations throughout my life. This area, however, has always been "Home" to me. We now reside in the area and spend about half of my time at this awesome beach house. We like being out on the water and chilling at the pool or beach when its hot. Other times , we enjoy riding the Harley, traveling, or working on various projects around the house or in the garage.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location! There's a reason its a common saying and this house fits the description. Sandwiched between the beach and cotton bayou in a gated community in the center of Orange Beach puts everything within close proximity. There are plenty of places to go boating in Orange Beach, you can walk across the street to lay on the beach or play in the Gulf of Mexico. You can even rent comfortable beach chairs/umbrellas at this beach spot! There are lots of good restaurants nearby and when you want to venture out; Gulf Shores is a few minutes west and the Florida line where you will find the world famous FloraBama is less than 4 miles to the East.
(Note: you must cross Beach Highway to access the beach, this road can be busy during peak summer season. If you have a lot of belongings to carry; or are uncomfortable walking across, there is a public beach parking area just 500 yards West of the community with paid parking)
What makes this property unique
Gated community with pool and tennis courts. Private marina with boathouse pavilion that has table/chairs for morning coffee, picnic lunches or watching sunsets as you watch all the boaters pass by! The pool also has a second story covered area overlooking the pool with tables, chairs and an island bar. Great for family get-togethers, birthday parties, etc.
Boat slip is not included as standard but can be rented for an extra fee, contact owner for availability and a quotation. Cotton Bayou public boat launch is just 500 yards West of the property.
