Well, it's consistent--the reaction we get when people arrive and see the amazing waterfront views from porches on three sides of the house. Breathtaking sunsets, mornings watching the heron, fishing right from the porch.
Orion Beach House offers the true essence of Gulf Shores--a relaxing environment surrounded by the beauty of the beach and Little Lagoon. Enjoy panoramic Gulf Shores views including the Gulf beach at Lagoon Pass, and Little Lagoon with spectacular sunrises and sunsets from 270 degree decks.
You'll be as pleased with the interiors as with the wonderful views! While Orion is available as a vacation rental for parts of the year, this is a private home so it has all of the comforts of home from a fully stocked kitchen and comfortable linens to floats to enjoy in the lagoon and a good grill.
Orion offers the best of our sugar-white Gulf beach (just steps away!) and the good fishing, small boating and relaxing atmosphere of Little Lagoon right from the waterfront decks and yard. You also have a Private Hot Tub, a Pier and a Boat Launch. You'll feel like you are away from it all but you are just minutes from Gulf Shores array of restaurants, shops and attractions.
This Gulf Shores beach house benefits from quiet and safe lagoon side location and ocean views. A 100 yd walk puts you at the beach. Good fishing, right from the deck or the pier we share with neighbors. Bring a small boat or jet ski and pull it up right behind the house. Access the Gulf through Lagoon Pass and you have instant access to the Gulf of Mexico and sea fishing.
You'll have plenty of room to spread out with 4 Bedrooms including a king master on the first floor, a queen bedroom on the second floor, and a king bedroom with a pair of twin beds. There is also a loft bedroom with daybed and trundle (and its own tv/dvd and Playstation 2), a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, and a private alcove with a twin bed. The house comfortably sleeps up to 10-13 guests.
This beautifully and comfortably appointed family beach home has new furnishings, linens and towels. A must for anyone with children, the loft has a PlayStation 2, complete with games and you'll find flat screen TV’s + DVD and Direct TV in every bedroom, and Wifi and Ipod access.
Fully equipped, up to date kitchen is a joy for anyone who loves to create the finest cuisine that Gulf Shores has to offer. Orion has zoned 1st & 2nd story air-conditioners, ceiling fans throughout, and parking for 6 cars.
Great opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with 3 levels of decks, a hot tub with amazing views, a swing, a hammock, a waterfront deck with lounge chairs, a fish cleaning sink, outside shower and more. Enjoy wonderful family BBQ’s on the deck with comfortable outdoor dining for 10 people and a top of the range Egg Grill. Pull your boat up right beside the house or to the pier next to the house. Rent a pontoon boat for a day or kayaks for a week.
For those wishing to escape the harsh winters, come and relax in a family home close to all the local amenities. West Beach Boulevard, approximately 3 miles from Highway 59 and all the amenities and shopping therein.
Watch the sunset with the heron and pelicans drawn to the fish rich bayou. There is nothing better than enjoying a day of sun, sand and surf then relaxing and watching the stars from the decks at Orion!
Come enjoy the best of Gulf Shores at Orion.

A month of fun!!!!

My wife and I spent a month at Orion and we had a great time. Since we are retired we spent the entire month...or children and grandchildren came and went as their schedules would permit. It was obvious they had so much fun they came and went numerous times...both much to our enjoyment. Susan and Geoff were great. They couldn't have been more accomodating.
Owner response:We try to make sure the house has everything you need, whether you are coming for a week, or a month. We hope you'll make Orion your "home away from home".
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We had a wonderful week here. The house was so well equipped and comfortable we felt immediately at home. We had a rather large group but did not feel crowded. We loved the ample views and ample balcony areas. The beaches though oily on day one were almost pristine by our last day here. We plan to come back here many more times. With the options of back bay and beaches we were swimming and enjoying the water despite the oil disaster. Thanks to the crews that worked so hard to keep Gulf Shores beautiful. Good luck, we'll see you soon. Gulf Shores is the best!

My cousin, 5 grands and their parents enjoyed a relaxing week at your beautiful home. We spent time on the little spit of land and sand across the way behind the house. We dubbed it Daniel's island since he had so much fun there. The State Park beach and Lake were different and refreshing. Our hearts go out to you and our prayers are upholding you.

Orion, you have served us well. My wife and I , our son, daughter-in-law and 3 grandchildren had a wonderful visit and enjoyed every minute. The beach; the sun; the birds; the Lagoon; the Pass; the fish; the crab's; the seafood; Lulu's; your neighborhood to the south, the Dukes...everyday a new and happy experience. And always to return to Orion, our home away from home. We will always remember you. Thank you!

Just returned from our week at Orion Beach House. We had seven adults and two small children and found the house to work out perfectly for all of us. Plenty of space inside and outside for everyone to spread out and have a relaxing vacation. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The decks were great and all of us enjoyed sitting outside watching the birds, boaters and fishermen. We even saw a fox running around the little island on the backside of the house. We especially enjoyed walking to the beach every evening for a few hours collecting shells until the sun set.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
