My family came down to Orange Beach and stayed at this property for 10 days. The check in process was very simple, the beach view is great, access to the beach was very simple as long as you remember the gate code. There were a few problems though with the unit itself. First the cleanliness of it was not so great. We decided to walk down to the beach as soon as we got there. We came back up washed off at the shower and went to the unit. I remained barefooted as did my daughter. wasn't inside long at all till we both noticed the bottom of our feet were BLACK from the floors. we thought it was something different till we got a wet paper towel and spot cleaned, yes, it came out black. So, wear shoes if you go here. My wife and I bought cleaning supplies so we could clean the floors better than they were. Next the bathroom had a bad stench to it, not the normal sulfa smell either. Just odd. we bought air fresheners to fix that. Then the shower head hose was nasty. The smell I believe came from there as we believed it to be black mold. My wife sprayed it down with Bleach clean up. despite all the issues will the refrigerator door swing being wrong, the laundry bifold door is really loud, the closet doors in bedroom about to fall off, need door sweep on entry door, outdated furniture, and a couch that has been overused. We enjoyed the stay only because we pretty much just slept there. The Pictures DO this unit justice, Oh and don't forget to empty the dehumidifier daily.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback - we really appreciate it. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the easy check-in process, beach access, and the view, but we’re very sorry that the condition of the unit did not meet expectations. The cleanliness concerns you mentioned, especially regarding the floors and bathroom odor, are definitely not acceptable, and we sincerely apologize for that experience. This will be addressed with our cleaning and maintenance teams right away to ensure it’s properly taken care of. We also appreciate you pointing out the issues with the shower hose, doors, furniture, and other items - this kind of feedback helps us identify what needs immediate attention and improvement. We’re sorry that you had to go out of your way to clean during your stay - that’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We’ll be reviewing everything you mentioned with our team to make sure these concerns are resolved. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. -Sands of Alabama Team

Nice little space for a relaxing time

The condo was perfect for my husband and I. Check-in and out was easy. The condo was super clean and organized with a very comfortable bed and amazing view. It had the basic necessities. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Bc the building is smaller, the beach area felt way less crowded than some of the other areas. Wi-Fi and cable worked perfectly the entire time.

This condo was the perfect size for our family of three. It was a great value for the price. The king bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels, pillows and blankets. The couch is small but comfortable. We booked this condo because of its close proximity to the beach and didn't spend much time in the condo, and I wouldn't recommend this condo for comfort if you plan on spending a lot of time indoors. It is decorated nicely and is very bright and clean. We set up the outdoor chairs we brought on the patio because they were more comfortable than the patio furniture. The pool is small and is on the parking lot side of the building, but was nice for a quick swim after the beach each day. Close to restaurants and grocery stores. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.

BEST location and view!

This was our second time to stay at the Emerald Sky and it does not disappoint! Check in and check out was a breeze with communication at its best. The entire property was clean and just adorable and the view from the patio was beautiful day and night! Sunsets on the patio or a short walk to the beach, this place has everything you will need for making a great memory! The location was easy to get to and so many choices for fun and food nearby! We will be back again and again every chance we get!

Nice vacation

The area was fantastic. The condo unit was very clean and had starter items to get us started. The view from the balcony was stunning. I loved the box fans, as we love noise while sleeping. The beds were very comfortable. The washer and dryer was a plus. We went to Waterville and that was a hit. We also loved how close it was to Flora-Bama. We would recommend this unit to others.

Nice Little Condo

For a one bedroom unit, it had enough space for two people. For families with young children, there would be enough room for them, too. It was clean, smelled fresh and was updated. The pool is small, but it felt heated which was very nice in March. Overall, a nice condo for someone looking for smaller place to relax...nice views from balcony.

Was the perfect location

The stay was adequate and the location worked for our needs. The space was clean and generally as described, but there were a few things that impacted the overall comfort of our visit.There were quite a few house rules, and many signs posted throughout the property. While we understand the need for clear expectations, the tone of the signage felt a bit harsh and unwelcoming at times. A gentler approach would go a long way in helping guests feel more at ease.The furniture was minimal and not very comfortable—some pieces were worn or not very functional, which made relaxing in the space a bit difficult.Overall, it was okay for a short stay, but with some small adjustments in tone and furnishings, it could be a much more pleasant experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re glad the location and cleanliness met your needs, and that the space aligned with your expectations overall.

Our goal is always to set clear expectations for a smooth stay, but we understand that the tone and presentation matter just as much. We'll definitely review the signage with fresh eyes and consider adjustments to make it feel more welcoming. We also hear your thoughts on the comfort and condition of the furniture, this is valuable input, and we’ll be taking it into account as we plan future updates to the space.

RELAXATION PARADISE! LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!

The absolute PERFECT condo & location for a beach getaway. Perfect for 2-6 people, comfortably. We stayed 7 days and not once did we feel as if another owned this unit. It is literally within walking-distance of EVERYWHERE one might need to go. The ocean at this spot is super clear AND shallow, as we were able to walk straight out to the sandbar withis water reaching mid-chest. No complaints of any sort- just fond and special memories made at Emerald Skye 45- Our Forever-Vacation paradise!
