Private Tropical Escape Minutes from the Beach

This spacious house is located in a popular but quiet East Orange Beach neighborhood. The Orange Beach Recreational Center is just two blocks away and offers a large variety of family activities and a heated pool fifty-one weeks of the year for a small daily fee. The house is also conveniently located to all the shops, restaurants, and activities Orange Beach has to offer.
The front porch is furnished with seating and side tables; the ceiling fan makes this a great place to relax during the day; at night the landscaping lights in the yard and on the stairs cast a soft glow over the front yard.
The home’s open floor plan invites you to relax and enjoy the beautiful furnishings. The living room, dining room and kitchen are all located on one floor with plenty of room for everyone. The Master Suite boasts a luxurious king size bed, a full bath and a private entrance to the back deck. Also wireless internet is available throughout the home. The second roomy bedroom has a king size bed with luxurious bed linens, a small sitting area, flat screen TV, and has a private entrance to the front deck. The third bedroom has a queen size bed, tv, and plenty of room.
The sofa in the living room folds down into a very comfortable full size bed. The property also has two inflatable twin air mattresses for additional sleep options. There is sufficient space throughout the house for the two air mattresses to be out and still have room to walk around.
The living room has an incredible media center. A flat screen HD TV with HD/DVR cable box is loaded with channels, has surround sound with stereo system, a DVD/VHS player with video library, and a PlayStation 2 with games. The comfortable couch and chairs are perfect for watching movies or playing games.
With seating for eight, the dining room table is a perfect place to enjoy great food and conversation anytime of the day. The kitchen bar has additional seating for four. The kitchen is stocked for cooking and the granite topped countertops provide ample counter space. A side by side Whirlpool refrigerator offers plenty of room to stock up for the week. The kitchen has a new stove and microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, coffee maker, and the list goes on and on.
The door off of the kitchen leads to a private and cozy screened in porch; tile flooring, a ceiling fan suspended from stained tongue and groove wood, tv and recessed lighting make this another ‘room’ of the home that you will enjoy both day or night. Go through the screen door and down the deck stairs to the stone patio where a Gardener’s Paradise awaits that is completely privacy fenced and professionally landscaped. It is all the joys of a garden with none of the work! Enjoy sitting and dining at the ceramic topped table for six which has comfortable cushioned chairs and large umbrella.
A ping pong table lives under the house and is waiting for family tournaments. A table with chairs sits right next to the game table for the fans.
This house has new appliances and fixtures throughout. All furnishings were replaced in 2008 with new pieces being added and replaced often. All the lights throughout the house can be dimmed to create a mood. This house offers a place to relax in a quiet location but is minutes away from all the exciting and fun things to do in Orange Beach.

This home was all it was advertised to be--well appointed, clean, and neat. The owners were kind enough to have information on things to do in the area and resturants to visit. We would not hesitate to return.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, pet owners, girls getaway.
Owner response: So pleased that Tennessee Traveler had such nice things to say about our vacation home. We want all of our guests to feel at home and have a relaxing, fun vacation at the beach. Daugherty Properties always treats our guests as we would want to be treated!

My wife and I had never been to Orange Beach prior to this visit. We loved this home! Everything was as stated in advertisement plus so much more. Lovely accommodations which included awesome furnishings and over stocked kitchen. We loved the screened in porch in the afternoon. Our dogs loved being walked in the quiet neighborhood. Property was located close to beach and restaurants, which we took advantage of. No problems at all- just wished we had stayed for 2 months instead of 1. We will return!Recommended for: Age 55+.

We attended a graduation at the Wharf near by for Columbia Southern University. It was 4 adults in the house. From the front of the house to the rear was clean and comfortable. The mattresses were so comfortable, we wished we could take them with us. I liked the fact, there was also a washer/dryer in the house. I loved staying here, and wish we could have stayed longer.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as it was conveniently located to everything in the area. Especially liked being in a family neighborhood and the house was so nice with the three large bedrooms, porches both in the front and back and beautifully landscaped back yard. We were happy to find a home that allowed small pets. We definitely would rent again if we return to the area and recommend the property to our friends,Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We stayed 3 nights over Labor Day. We had 4 little girls with us and the layout of 2 bedrooms sharing a bath, plus the master bedroom with its own bath was a perfect setup for us. The cute front porch, back porch, back yard with a table/chairs, and the whole living room under the house made the house seem twice its size. Full size laundry was a big plus for us, as was the parking for our boat and our two cars.....still gave plenty of room under that house for playing ping pong and the large sitting area. There were televisions everywhere, which was nice.....we couldn't get the screened back porch television to work, but we never contacted the owner, as we didn't really mind....there may have been a trick to it that we were clueless about. Tons of dishes and silverware; pretty much everything you could possibly need. Nice quiet neighborhood. I honestly can't think of a thing I'd change about the house! We booked at almost the last minute and our communications and directions were handled efficiently and promptly. If there was a box for 6 stars, I'd check it. There is a city pool about a 1/2 mile away that had a slide, which we used one day for a $5 fee.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

My wife and I were looking to get away and relax for a week in Orange Beach. I think we found the perfect place. We have stayed in several homes and condos before but this was the nicest. It is only minutes to the best beaches and restaurants. The area was very quiet and peaceful. The kitchen was excellent and well stocked. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the screened in porch with our two dogs after a day at the beach. I would recommend this to anyone looking get away from the crowds but still enjoy the gulf beaches.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

I highly recommend this house for your vacation rental... The house is a very short drive to the beach, dining and shopping.... This is a very peaceful, clean, relaxing rental.... The owner has put so much thought into everything.. Example; ping pong table, relaxing fountain, tv's everywhere.... I will say my favorite thing was the beds... I normally am not comfortable in "strange beds", but I loved loved the bed and pillows... They were the most comfy I've ever slept in... Please remember this rental when you are planning your next trip to Gulf Shores.... I give this house an A+ and my family and I will be back!! Thanks so much....Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We just returned from a wonderful week at this home - I loved that it was in a quiet neighborhood and we enjoyed the patios. The house is beautifully decorated and had all the amenities of home - the only thing that I was not happy with was that in the 2nd bedroom from the front door (queen bed) had no where to hang or put away any clothes. If the person staying in this room is young this is not a big deal but for people traveling with older kids or all adults this poses a problem, a dresser in this room would be nice. That was the only drawback to a wonderful week.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children.
