This beautiful condo has lots of room, is clean, has colorful and fresh decor, beautiful views off the balcony, large pool area with lots of lounge chairs, nice beach access and beach area is not too crowded. A wonderful beach retreat and a great place to get away. Thanks David and Marilynn! My family loved it!

We had a great experience. Totally relaxing - no stress/ We loved your condo, everything was exactly as described. Very clean and well maintained. Everything worked. You were most helpful during the rnetal process. While there we went on a dophin cruise. I can't remember the name of the place, but it is the marina located directly at the Alabama state line. We also love the Golf Coast Zoo in Alabama which we visited on our way back to Indiana. The zoo, with the close animal encounters was definitely worth it,. Your condo was the best one we have stayed in over the past 4 years. It was our first time in the Panhandle.. Our only regret was that it had to end. We will definitely return - stay at your place if possible - and have already recommended it to friends. Thanks for sharing your second home.

We loved the condo! It was perfect for me, my husband, our three kids and my mother. It was a very family friendly condo. I have a nine month old little girl so I was very pleased to walk in and see outlet covers covering all of the outlets. The board games kept my 11 year old busy and the sand toys kept my 3 year old busy. Tuesday and Wednesday morning we were able to eat breakfast on the balcony and watch the Blue angels practice. It was so peaceful and relaxing, we hated to leave. My husband and I are already planning our vacation for next year and we would love to stay here again!

This condo was wonderful! It had ample room for our family of 4 adults and a toddler. We had room to stay indoors on the one rainy day and not get in each others way. The owners had a wonderful selection of movies and games to play. Most days it felt as if we had private pool since it is in a smaller community. The short walk to the beach was nice that you did not have to cross a road! You are close to all of the happenings in Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and Pensacola without being in the middle of it all. The owners book of recommendations was wonderful as well, they list several local attractions and places to eat that we enjoyed during our stay. We will definetly stay here again!

We loved the condo! We brought 2 young boys and 2 teens and 2 adults and we all slept comfortably and had plenty of space. Everything is in great shape, even have water toys and beach chairs to use! You just go downstairs to the pool and it is an easy walk to the beach. The owners replied quickly to all our questions and even helped us out while we were there in finding a mail/fax place. They were very hospitable!! I would highly reccomend this condo for families wanting a relaxing and fun vacation! Amber C.

We grew up in Pensacola and joined some of our family that still live there. Great balcony and we enjoyed the pool in the afternoons. Short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed running down Johnson's Beach road- great breeze and the Blue Angels were practicing overhead. Our in town family would consider any last minute openings/ cancelations.

All I can say is that this property was perfect! We loved the condo, the location and the people/staff we met. We stayed here for eight weeks and hated to leave. The Farrows have provided a very clean, comfortable space and we felt we were in paradise. We fit right in with the neighbors and it became our home for the duration of our visit. We loved the view from the balcony and literally spent every waking minute we could out there from dawn to late in the evening; watching the sun rise, the Gulf, the lagoon, the Blue Angels, Johnson Beach and the stars at night. The location was perfect for us and as we gathered with friends and family, we relaxed and became rejuvenated. The Farrows provided driving directions for us and personally inspected the property prior to our arrival. It was good to know that they are active owners and took special care to keep their home in perfect order. We have and will recommend this property to all our friends and family.

From our in-condo guestbook: Thank you so much for the wonderful time we had. The condo was great; it had everything we needed. The beach was great the first day we arrived but then with the storms at sea it turned into an oily mess. We did spend a lot of time on the sound at the National Park and had a great time. We have been praying for all the people that have been affected by the oil spill in the Gulf and will continue to do so. We talked to a lot of people that are concerned about the future. May God bless you and your family. Thanks for a great week despite the condition of the beach. Hope to return next year! Go Vols!

Water is clear, beaches are white, life is good!

Guest: Bart and Kim (Whitney,Tx.)
Date of Stay: 06/12/10 Review Submitted: 06/20/10

This was my second year at the condo and we had a great time, we have already reserved it for next year. Anyone who might be concerned about the oil spill and the effect on the beach need not worry, the oil only affected our trip on one day and it was cleaned up in a couple of hours by the work crews. They constantly monitor the conditions and are very good at what they do. The other 6 days of our trip had crystal clear water ( you could stand neck deep and still count the freckles on your toes ) and sugar white sand. On several days a group of 30 or so sting rays could be spotted along the shore ( they are harmless, I even let them swim around me on one occasion ). This condo is very comfotable and I now concider it my home away from home. David and Marilynn are great host and I thank them very much for sharing their home with my family.

Owner response:This same guest kindly e-mailed me updates during his June, 2010, stay: June 17, 2010 We spent the day at naval air station and at the Shrimp Basket ( all you can eat shrimp on wednesday ), when we returned the beaches were white and beautiful as ever, water was clear. The workers did a good job of cleaning up yesterday. We are already looking forward to next year. June 16, 2010 Good news, the tide did not bring in anymore oil bands, there are a few lage clumps on the beach but the workers should be able to clean up easily. The waves have nothing but clear water and white sand....if I havent told you.....I love this place! June 16, 2010 We are definately going to come back next year....We love this place and your condo. It feels like home to me, it relaxes me and lets me just unwind. I went out to the beach last night and no more oil had arrived, it was apparently just one band. The waves are mostly clear, except for some very small pieces of remaining tar balls. The beach still has a tide line with a bunch of oil but they have crews of people with brooms and shovels and get are sweeping it up as they can. Im keeping my fingers crossed that no more comes in. Thank you again for sharing you home with us, we are looking forward to comming back for many years. I will let you know on the dates and arrange a payment plan with you when we get back. I'll keep you posted on the oil.

An e-mail from a 3rd time guest: Hi Marilynn, We had a great time as usual. A little rain off and on but that just gave a us time to go exploring. The lighthouse was open so we trekked to the top, 177 stairs but the view was great:) The water stayed clear and was calm all but the last two days. When I get schedules figured out a little better, I will let you know about next summer! Thanks, Betsy

We spotted dolphins 3 or 4 times. Thank you for the tip on going to LuLu's. We went and loved it! We also went to see the Blue Angels. They were incredible! Everyone we met was so friendly.

What a wonderful time we have all had here. The Lord's wondrous works are in shining Glory all around us here. The sun rising while sitting on the deck reading His Word was my most favorite memory. This stay has been a time of refreshing and joy this Thanksgiving! We couldn't have had a better time. Our first Thanksgiving without Daddy (He left for Glory in Jan. '09) was softened by our stay in your lovely home. Grace and Peace, Marlen & Jared I., Kathy N.

We loved the condo, felt like a home away from home. Has everything needed to get comfortable. Great beds, good pillows, beach chairs, toys and games for kids. The facility itself is very familly friendly, there were numerous visitors with young children that seemed to be having a great time also. My teenage son had a great time just hanging out at the pool, didnt take him long to meet some kids his age and this allowed me to just spend some quality time with my wife. This has been a very relaxing vacation. The area is also very nice...Great pizza at Lillians and all you can eat fried shrimp on sun and thursdays at the shrimp basket was soooo good. This has been such a good trip that we have already booked for next year and we havent even left yet.

Dear Marilynn, We just wanted to send you a note of appreciation. In late December of last year, (my husband) finally got a job after looking for about 6 months. It was the perfect Christmas present for our family....We have two small boys...and we have never taken a family vacation. We decided that God knew we really needed a vacation after all we had been through over the past year....
