Date of Stay: 04/14/12 Review Submitted: 04/29/12

This condo was the best we have ev er stayed in. It was beautifully furnished and immaculate. There were so may small amenities, we did not need any paper towels, gargabe bags and the kitchen was totally loaded. My husband forgot to get a shot glass for his drinks and we found one. There was a chair I took l down to the beach to sit in the sand, as I had forgotten mine. I just loved everything and we will definitely be back, The balcony is perfect, beautiful views. Owner s were great to work with. My husband fished on the pier and we came home with lots of fish. As far as eating, Cottons has the best prime rib and for a really good sandwich, try Sea and Surf. Of course I went to the outlets and we at at Lamberts which is a must. We did not want to leave an cannot wait to come back.

Me and my kids (ages 8 & 10) stayed in condo 603 for Spring Break. It was our first time to the area and it won't be our last! The condo was very clean and nicely decorated! The bathrooms and kitchen counters have new granite countertops - very nice! The balcony has a fantastic view of the beach - one day, we even saw dolphins swimming in the ocean from our balcony! The beach has such fine, white sand - easy to walk on barefoot. The pool area was clean and there were always chairs available - not busy at all! I love the location of the condo - very close to grocery stores and restaurants - right across the street! We had fun at the Hangout restaurant and playing minature golf. Other than that, mostly beach bums! If you want a nice & relaxing vacation, Orange Beach and Silver Beach #603 is the place for you! I would highly recommend it! Hope to return to the area next year!

Best Kept Secret in Orange Beach!

This was an absolutely fabulous condo right on the beach! The sleeping accommodations were very comfortable and the living space tastefully decorated. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need. Kitchen includes every appliance and gadget you might need to cook or bake anything. Everything is very clean and in perfect working condition. We loved the location. It is located near great restaurants, Publix grocery store, liquor store and a fabulous beignet cafe right across the street. The white sandy beaches are gorgeous for both morning and evening walks. The office on the ground floor has movies, books and games to check out if you like. The owner is friendly, accommodating and wonderful to work with. We have stayed in this condo for two years and plan to return again next year. I highly recommend this condo! You won't be disappointed.

We have been coming south for 7 years and Gloria's condo has been by far the nicest one we have ever stayed at. It left you wanting nothing. It was fully equipped and very clean. The decor was beautiful and everything was updated and seemed to be new. Glora was very accomodating & if we needed anything we had it. We have made resevations for next Jan & Feb already and look forward to another great winter. Oh yes, the sunsets are to die for.

Fabulous Anniversary Week at Silver Beach

Guest: Debby (Memphis, Tennessee)
Date of Stay: 10/08/11 Review Submitted: 10/19/11

There are no words fabulous enough to describe our anniversary week in your wonderful condo. The photos on VRBO do not do justice to what we found when we arrived last Saturday. Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Right out of Southern Living beautiful. I absolutely love the beach theme and the grass skirt dust ruffle on the master bed is about the cutest thing I've ever seen! The condo location is such a plus, with a grocery store, gift shops, liquor store, bait & tackle shop, minor medical center and a 5 & dime right across the street. Plus, there's Hazels which has a scrumptious breakfast buffet. Every morning and afternoon, we sat on the balcony and watched the dolphins play in the surf. Now that I'm home, I'm missing my cappuccino and dolphin time. So relaxing! You thought of everything, Gloria. After buying a crab net, we found one in the laundry room. We brought our own sand chair but there was one on the balcony. Hair dryer? Didn't need ours. I even found a coupon for Original Oyster House in your special box of menus. Oh and the full size front loading washer and dryer are much nicer than what I have at home. If there's anything you didn't think of to make our stay perfect, I cannot imagine what it would be. By the way, the time prior to our trip that your husband spent talking fishing on the phone with my husband meant so much to him. It's the little things like this that makes y'all stand far apart from your average condo owners. This has been the most wonderful vacation of our married life and from our hearts, we thank you.

I had never used VRBO before so I was a little apprehensive...but I decided to give it a try. After searching through countless listings, I found Silver Beach 603..after looking at the pictures and description and reading the reviews, I contacted Gloria...if you are looking for a condo that is tropical looking in decor and has any and everything you would want and need during a weeks vacation, then Silver Beach 603 is your place...look no further....From the furniture to the TV's to the washer-dryer...to the King size bed(which opens to the balcony..even to the modern balcony table and chairs and lounger, this condo lacks in nothing...but the best part of all is Gloria... she is more than just an owner..her intent is to see that your vacation is the best..from a call on the way down to let me know the condo was clean and ready for me to check in to a nice thank you after I returned home, she left no stone unturned..even mid-week her maintenance man came by just to see if everything was working like it should...he even gave me his number and the cleaning lady's number just in case I needed something during my stay...it was a great week in every way..if you are searching VRBO for your vacation, just check Gloria's calendar and read the reviews...that should tell you how people feel about staying in Silver Beach 603..I would highly recommend it and I certainly would stay there again.

Our stay in this condo was perfect! We were here 7/16/2011-7/23/2011 and the weather was great. It did rain Sunday but that was the day we had planned to tour the Naval Station. The other days were awesome. The condo was decorated so beautiful and all the accommodations you could ever need. We loved the box Gloria (the condo owner) had in the kitchen drawer that had all the restaurants around Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and Foley. She also had a photo album of all the activities to do there. We have been to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores several times but this was by far the best condo we have stayed in. The minute I booked our condo through Gloria I knew we did the right thing going to VRBO, she was so pleasant to work with. Thank you Gloria, we plan on being back really soon, maybe next time without teenagers :)

We recently stayed in this condo the end of April 2011 and absolutely loved it! Perfect location on the beach with the balcony overlooking the gulf. Very quiet complex! The gulf beach is in pristine condition (never saw any oil) and the gulf water is excellent (nice sandy bottom and clear water).Groceries are right across the street-no need to drive. The condo was in excellent condition, extremely clean and well-cared for. This is the best value for a condo and Gloria is a wonderful person to work with on the rental. She is very attentive to your needs and available to answer any questions. We will definitely go back and stay here again! Kathy S.

We spent a week in this condo for the first time in September of 2010, and enjoyed it so much we returned in April 2011 and have reservations again for this fall. The condo could not have been nicer. It is centrally located--close to grocery stories, restaurants, shopping, etc. Gloria was great to work with and did her best to make our stay enjoyable. We can't wait to return.

We had a great 6 night stay in October and how great of Gloria(condo owner) to get us tickets to see Brad Paisley. I knew renting from Gloria was going to be a breeze from her very first email, she goes out of her way to see that everything is in order. The condo was just perfect in every way!! There are even menu's in a box so you can choose a place to eat without driving there first. This condo is truly home away from home...I probably enjoyed the large balcony the most, it gets alot of sun but if you need shade you can also arrange to be back farther and get shade as well..and the view is just gorgeous. We also loved the fact that shopping was across the street, this is a major benefit when staying in a condo. We plan to be back again....and we can't wait..

We have been going to Orange Beach for over 13 yrs. Always went thru a rental and stayed at Silver Beach. I am so happy we used VRBO to find a different condo and owner Gloria. The condo is in excellent shape, furniture and decorations are beautiful and everything you need is right there.The balcony is very nice to have your coffee and watch the dolphins. Great location and so convenient to everything. Gloria is a fantastic person to work with! We were celebrating our anniversary and she suggested all the great places to see and the wonderful restaurants which we found very helpful. We found Tacky Jacks, Docs and Wintzell's as great places to eat. I can't say enough about Gloria and how she makes you feel at home away from home. We will be returning again next year! Thanks Gloria

After several surgeries, my husband and I decided we wanted to get away and relax on the Alabama beaches last Spring. We stayed in this unit and were VERY pleased with the entire experience. The balcony off of the master bdrm and living area was a wonderful escape in itself to just sit and enjoy the ocean. The location of this condo is fantastic as it is close to everything that you could possibly want ie: grocery stores, liquor store, and so many restaurants that you will have a hard time deciding where to go. Everything was very clean, neat and inviting in the condo and Gloria was a dream to work with. I didn't have much physical strength at the time or we would have done alot more sightseeing and adventerous activities that are available right in the condo's "back yard". We plan on going back to Orange Beach and staying at this Condo. If you have never been to Orange Beach or this Condo, you are truly missing a great experience!

My husband and I come down to Orange Beach every April. This is the first time we have stayed at Silver Beach and what a fabulous place to stay! We had everything we could ever think of just waiting for us. The first thing we do upon our arrival is open the slider to the balcony area. Wow! What an amazing view. And if you time it just right, every morning you can watch the dolphin swim by while having your breakfast on the balcony. Now that's what I call, a little piece of heaven. The entire unit is beautifully decorated. The front loader washer and dryer was so nice. Oh, and I can't tell you how wonderful it was to have wi-fi. Our envious friends and family back home had to hear our daily events from my husband's laptop. We went to a couple of restaurants this year that were suggested by Gloria. The Colbalt and Cozmo's. Both were fantastic! We will definitely be going back to both on our next stay. We lounged all week around the pool, walked hand in hand down the beach (now isn't that romantic), went to Alligator Alley and just enjoyed the entire week. This condo is centrally located with nearby shopping, restaurants and antiquing. Thank you Gloria for being so helpful and we look forward to staying at Silver Beach again.

This condo is beautifully decorated and has all the beautiful dishes you could possibly need. Right on the beach. Within walking distance is two large grocery stores, a pharmacy, a dollar store, and even an urgent care clinic. Several restaurants are just are across the street. Just a short drive to the Wharf where you will find a movie theater, shopping, eating, etc. I always stay in this area, but this was the first time to rent this particular condo. It was great. I hope to stay here again in the future.

We stayed at Silver Beach last year through a rental agency but this is the first year we have stayed through VRBO. Wish we had done that sooner. Finding Gloria's condo Silver Beach #603 was the best! We stayed June 27-July 4, 2009. The unit is beautifully decorated and it's right on the beach. The building is smaller therefore the beach wasn't as crowded as the other condos. Gloria was absolutely wonderful to work with. I celebrated my 40th b'day while there and I wanted to eat mexican so she recommended a great mexican resturant to eat at. Everything you need is right across the street. There is a dollar store, Winn Dixie etc. then down the street is a new Publix shopping center. You never have to go far. We will definetly be coming back to stay in this unit again next year! Thanks Gloria!!!

Our family has stayed at Silver Beach#603 several times and it is absolutely wonderful. We have never considered staying elsewhere. The owner Gloria is so easy to work with and very pleasant. I feel as though I know her personally even though we have only spoken over the phone. The view is amazing on the 6th floor. It is also located in the middle of the building which we enjoy. It has everything you need to make your stay pleasurable. We enjoy the balcony so much...morning when the dolphins swim by(guaranteed)and evening when the moon lights up the gulf. This condo is always cean and properly maintained. You will not be disappointed. Lovely and comfortable new furniture in the living room...GREAT decorating Gloria!! Can't wait to go back in September! I have recommended this condo to others and they enjoy it also.

Our family comes back to this condo year after year for many reasons...the view, the location to grocery stores, the reasonable rate but a big reason we keep coming back to this condo is because of the owner. She is friendly, easy to work with and really takes an interest in making sure you have an enjoyable stay. The condo is beautifuly decorated and includes many amenities to suit your needs regardless of what age children you bring with you. Each year we come, we find new updates including new furniture and flat screen televisions this year. This year was the first year with just my husband and myself. What a relaxing, enjoyable time--there is life after children :). We will be back! If anyone has specific questions, please feel free to email me. I would be happy to answer them as best I can. You will not go wrong renting this condo from Gloria.

GARY AND I STAYED AT SILVER BEACH, UNIT 603 THIS FEBRUARY. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN I HAD A MORE ENJOYABLE, STRESS FREE MONTH IN MY LIFE. GARY IS A GOLFER AND HAD PLENTY OF COURSES TO CHOSE FROM. I'M A READER AND REALLY ENJOYED THE PRIVATE BALCONY. WITH THE GLASS PROTECTING IT, YOU WERE ALWAYS WARM EVEN IF IT WAS IN THE 50'S. THE CONDO IS VERY NICE, QUIET, AND HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VIEWS EVER. THE DOLPHINS HAVE A SWIM PATH RIGHT BY THE CONDO EVERY MORNING. IT IS ALSO VERY CONVENIENT TO SHOPPING, DINING, POST OFFICE, AND LIBRARY. (WHICH WAS GREAT FOR ME, ESPECIALLY THE LIBRARY) ALSO IT'S SO EASY TO GET AROUND. GLORIA IS WONDERFUL TO TALK TO AND VERY HELPFUL. (BE SURE TO CHECK WITH HER FOR HER FAVORITE RESTAURANTS) SHE HAS SEVERAL. ALL IN ALL, IF YOU HAVE A CHANCE, CALL AND MAKE A RESERVATION.

A truly wonderful environment to relax and enjoy great shopping, sightseeing,local dining and excellent golfing. This was our second stay at Silver Beach 603 and it felt like home the moment that we arrived and have already booked a third visit this November. The complex is quiet, safe, small in number of units and easy to get to and from the airport plus being centrally located to all areas of interest, shopping, dining, sports. The unrestricted view from the balcony is amazing with beautiful white sand for as far as you can see only enhanced by spectacular sunsets and sunrises. The inside of the condo is most comfortable and very well equipped if one should choose to cook their own catch or something from the local fishermen. Each room was well appointed and has everything necessary for a relaxing stay, two bathrooms have great advantages. Across the road from the condo is a very convenient shopping plaza for groceries, beverages, movie rentals etc. We enjoyed booking with the owner, Gloria Daniel, as she was very accommodating fulfilling our needs around a very tight time line and airline schedules. This was one of the few places that we have been that we can honestly say that we didn't want to go home and wished we could have stayed longer, definitely in the future. John and Marilyn Einboden

We have stayed in Silver Beach condo the last two winters for one or two months each winter. (2006 & 2007) Before that we had spent every winter since 1991 in the Orange Beach-Gulf Shores area. Silver Beach #603 is the best condo we have enjoyed over all of those years. The location is nearly perfect. Right on the beach and across the street from a shopping center that has everything you might need. Two grocery stores, restaurants, and many other stores. The condo was very clean, beautiful view from the balcony, nice swimming pool and fully equiped kitchen, three TVs, very comfortable queen size bed with sliding door opening on to the balcony. We liked the fact that the building is only eight floors and has only 47 condos. Plenty of parking and the beach is beautiful. We'll be back! We would highly recommend it.
