2 BR Penthouse Condo | Stunning View | Beach Club

DanielRating, 5 stars6 days ago
It was as advertised! Beautiful view from the balcony, beach was not overly crowded and the elevators were great- after you stay in a few of these large condos you realize how important that is! Booked for 6 days and on day 4 there was an electrical fire which forced everyone to evacuate the building. Enjoyed the penthouse except for that day as electricity was shut off so their elevators didn’t work and we had to lug all of our stuff down 16 flights :( Terrible timing and obviously a huge inconvenience for our vacation to say the least but luckily no one was hurt/injured in the situation and Joe was awesome throughout the 2 day ordeal- he even allowed us to stay at another property he manages for free on the 2nd night. The owners also immediately refunded us for 2 full days. So even though our vacation didn’t end as planned, it was no fault of anyone but we appreciated the response we got and I would stay there again without hesitation!

4 night Discount, Pool, Steps to Sand

AsiaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Everything about this home was AMAZING! From the exceptional customer service to the most helpful guidebook that provided us an idea of how to navigate the home and the surrounding area, I’m simply amazed and satisfied! The home was clean and sanitized to perfection. I quickly realized how welcoming the hosts wanted to make us feel right at home by walking into a fully equipped kitchen, just waiting to be used. Not to mention the bathrooms were stocked with even the smallest items that are usually simple and easy to forget during travel…Derek has you covered. The 3 headed shower was AHHMAZZZING!! The pool was literally steps away as mentioned. The beach access wasn’t too far of a walk and it was actually pleasant to have your own quiet space. The arcade game and board games kept our family entertained in the evenings. My family and I truly enjoyed this home and we look forward to staying again in the future!

Sands of Time | Updated Beachfront Escape

KathleenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had such a good stay at Sands of Time! We went a little over budget to rent a house on the beach knowing it would likely be easier with children. We were not disappointed and would do it all over again. It was easy for us to set up our tent and chairs while the kids were still snoozing, we enjoyed coffee on the deck while watching dolphins move across the gulf, we were able to rinse off and eat a sandwich in the a/c instead of having SANDwiches. It was so convenient. The kids had a BLAST. We were able to all relax in the spacious living room one day while rain kept us off the beach, too. Check in and out was very easy, there wasn’t ridiculous requests for checkout or tasks during our stay. We truly enjoyed this house and will be back for years to come! The location was super ideal with a short drive (15 min) to several great restaurants, but also out of the hustle and bustle. I could go on and on about all the things I loved about this place!

Beach house with private beach and designer decor

GloriaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The Kraftzee Cottage was even more beautiful as the pictures shown. Once you step inside the spacious home, you just feel very comfortable and ready to relax. We did not have to search for everything in the beautiful Kitchen to be able to prepare a meal. Everything was so neatly put away and no clutter. I have to have my morning cup of coffee! And having the coffee right there readily available with all the accessories to make a really great cup of coffee was a great day to start anyone’s day!! The bedrooms were nicely decorated and beds very comfortable!! I loved waking up to the outside shining in through the terrace. And being able to have my coffee out there!! It’s a great place to spend some quality time with friends and family! Allison is an awesome host!! She responded very promptly. And was very helpful. Definitely if anyone is looking for a great experience in Orange Beach, to stay at the Kraftzee Cottage. You will not regret it. And will not want to leave!

Steps to Beach|Ocean Views|PuttPutt| Dog-Friendly

CodyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Absolutely gorgeous beach house, steps from the beach. Less of a walk to the beach than any condo bldg we have ever stayed in. Perfect location, out of the hustle and bustle of downtown. My son loved the putt putt course under the house. Two outdoor showers were a tremendous plus. Gorgeous beach view from inside and outside of the house. Huge deck for family lounging. Perfect neighborhood!! House and Beach are both dog friendly which made our vacation so much less stressful. Roseanne was extremely helpful and checked in to make sure the house was as described!! Definitely saving this one for our next trip to the gulf shores/fort Morgan area!

We had a great stay! Loved the house it was clean and plenty of room for our 5 adults and 4 small children. Jennifer was fantastic and very responsive. Would definitely recommend this place. If possible, I’d say rent a golf cart as that was extremely helpful in getting to and from the beach!

My husband and I took our daughter & her friend here for her 12th birthday. The condo was perfect for the 4 of us. This location was much quieter than our usual stay along the main strip, which made for a more relaxing experience after a full day of activities. An easy drive to all the main attractions/restaurants. We would definitely recommend, and would absolutely stay here again!
