(Gulf Calling) Orange Beach Alabama, Great Place To Stay

Guest: White Tusk (Anniston Alabama)
Date of Stay: 03/26/12 Review Submitted: 04/03/12

Just got back from Alabama's Gulf Coast. Family need to recharge from life's busy, noisey everyday stress. Spent alot of hours looking for a place to stay that would be fun and enjoyable and comfortable so each one of us could have some down time. As luck would have it someone's unfortunate cancelation made it possible for us to stay at this very nice place. We opened up sliding glass doors and we could hear the waves of the Gulf breaking on the beach in every room. Spent early mornings dranking coffee on balcony watching dolphins swim down the beach headed for Florida which happen to be right next door. This place was GREAT! Both teenagers enjoyed the place. If you just got to get away and relax and slow down and clear your mind and still let the family have fun? Then this is the place you need to go. If I was there right now, I know what I would be doing early in the morning!

Owner response:Thanks for the nice comments! I am glad it worked out for you and hope to see you back soon.

My wife and I made a last minute decision to take off for Spring Break, we are both college educators, and need a break. When we found our normal place to stay was full, I started looking and found this property. I can honestly say I wish I had found it years ago! The condo had so much more room, and we had a place to work and enjoy the sounds of the surf as we did. The condo was spotless, the bed was comfortable, and was in a great location too. The balcony offered a great view and the beach chair service was also a welcome feature. The owners have a well stocked kitchen and we ate breakfast and lunch at the condo most days. The owner was very quick to respond to my questions and had everything taken care of quickly. We are not big fans of the food in the region but found Cosmo's and Kat's Kafe next to Target to be such a welcome change to the overdone crab boil seasonings so frequently featured in the area. One thing that I found to be unique about this property was the 6 elevators, there was hardly any wait when you were ready go to the pool or beach. Thank you Doug for allowing us to use your condo, we loved it.

Owner response:Thank you for your awesome review. I'm glad it worked out so well and I look forward to your return visit!

Mid-Sept stay was great!

My family really enjoyed staying here last week and was more than comfortable with the three adult beds for four adults and even enough room for an air mattress for two small children. Plenty of outside seating for all as well, spacious rooms and great water pressure, too (usually lacking at the beach!). Beautiful view from the ocean-front balcony and a great time of the year to visit as well without the usual crowds before Labor Day, easy to get around anywhere quickly in Orange Beach. We definitely hope to stay here again!

Owner response:Glad you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you back again soon!

Your condo is beautiful, roomy and very comfortable. All our dreaming of having a great time came thru. The management of Phoenix 10 was excellent, so nice and helpful. I can see the expense and time you have put into this condo making it a home and it shows. We are already planning for next year! Being next to the Flori/Bama bar was great, just a short walk. Thank you for everything, see you next year! May 2011 5 nights, couples late 40's/early 50's

Owner response:THanks for the kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. See you next year!

Doug, Your condo was great, very clean, spacious and the view was awesome. We didn't have to bring one thing extra from our house, which was very nice. The staff at Phoenix X were fabulous and extremely friendly and accommodating and to top it off the weather and water were perfect the entire trip. I will definitely recommend your condo to my family and friends and we look forward to going back next year.

October 19-22 2006 What a wonderful condo!Lots of room and all the comforts of home. My husband and I along with our two sons,daughter-in-law and beautiful grand-daughter truly enjoyed watching the dolphins play in the mornings. After the Alabama game while sitting on the balcony with my 3 year old grandaughter what should start falling from the sky but parachutes. Alexis was yelling for daddy and grandad to come and look and her oh my goodness yells were so cute. Of course grandad and daddy had to be enticed by nanna saying people or parachuting and literally falling in front of our balcany. They became very interested. We counted about 25. This along with blue tide which means lots of shells made our trip complete. Thanks again Paul& Cynthia Burson Phillip & Tina Brothers Scott and Alexis Brothers

Doug, Thank you for sharing your condo with my family. It was absolutely the best with a fantastic location and gorgorous views in all directions. The kitchen had everything you would possibly need and having lots of patio furniture to enjoy the beach views was wonderful. As long as you rent this unit, we will certainly reserve this unit yearly. Thanks again Bettye Housley

Doug, We are so glad that we came upon your website for Condo #903 in Orange Beach. We just returned home today and can't wait to go back again next January to celebrate Doug's birthday again. We had a great time and ate at wonderful restaurants. The condo was so nice and comfortable, the weather was perfect, especially sitting on the balcony drinking coffee in the morning. I recommend this unit to anyone who wants to have a relaxing vacation on the gulf. Thanks again! Gloria Seegers

Just returned from staying at Phoenix X Unit 903, over the Christmas week-end. The condo was excellent. There was plenty of room for my immediate family. Expecially enjoyed the baloney. Most mornings it was warm enough to sit on the baloney drink coffee and enjoy the sunrise. The sunset was also awesome. This place was a wonderful change for the holiday. It was nice not to fight the crowds. I could see where it would be great during the summer. Check in to it if you're looking for a excellent place to stay.

I stayed in this unit during the summer of 2004 (my second visit to Phoenix X). I loved it and definately want to go back. The condition of the property, the location and the unit itself are top notch. I have been to a lot of beaches in my time, but I always want to return to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores and the Phoenix X!

The condo was great-the 3 bedrooms spoiled us. The view was awesome and we slept with the balcony doors open at night so we could hear the waves. We got to enjoy the tennis courts, racquetball court, pools, and hot tub. Thanks for letting us stay at your condo. It was beautiful and we had a great time. I'm sure you'll be hearing from us again next year!

We really enjoyed our stay at your condo. This was my family's first stay at a condo and at Orange Beach-it was absolutely wonderful. The weather was great; not too hot, not too cold. We will most likely be renting from you again in the future! Thanks again.
