We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Proximity of the condo put us within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and WAL MART in Orange Beach. We were able to enjoy all of our Gulf Shores favorites within a 5 minute drive, and make new Orange Beach faves. We also drove over into FL for Lotto tix. Again, proximity to Perdido is just as easy (or easier) as Gulf Shores. We loved the more family vibe of Orange Beach. As for the condo, it is obv an older facility. However, updates and care keep it from feeling that way. Very clean. The pool area was BEAUTIFUL and so well maintained - a grass area to play on was very neat. Shortest walk to the beach of any Gulf-front condo I’be ever stayed at. Very safe with gate codes to get in the pool area, on the beach area, etc. We loved that it’s a smaller facility. So, even full, the beach/pool/halls, etc did not feel crowded at all. Unit 602 supplied everything you could need - even beach chairs and umbrella!!! My only issue, and ONLY reason for 4 stars instead of 5, was that one of the two elevators was broken part of the trip. It got “repaired,” and immediately after, we witnessed two people (two separate incidents) waiting for the fire Dept to come get them because they got stuck in the elevator. Afterward, there was some confusion among management about whether it had been repaired. The water pressure and draining of the tubs/showers left a little to be desired. However, with all of that said, we will DEF be staying there again!! 🏖️
