Please read this whole description prior to jumping to the bottom and calling me.
If you are looking for more room take a look at my 3 bedroom vrbo 254221 in the same complex. There is also a link on the bottom of this page that will take you directly to my other rentals.
If you are the kind that trashes condominiums you will not like me very much and I would strongly advise you not to rent my condominium. If you smoke do not rent my condo as it and the property are non smoking. On the positive side if you keep things nice and expect the very best you have found the perfect condominium to rent.
Most VRBO owners live a long way from Orange Beach. There is no problem with them taking your money and giving you access to their property. However, if the unit has a problem or you need additional assistance during your stay you are pretty much out of luck. At the very least you will have to wait for a weekday to get your problems resolved. I live 1/8 mile from the condo. I can resolve any unit problem promptly. I know this area like the back of my hand because I live here full time. I don't have a few favorite places to eat when I come down. I have eaten at every restaurant in Orange Beach. My advice is solid and my tennant support is second to none.
Now about the condo.
This is an awesome, two bedroom, two and 1/2 bath condominium on the Bay in Orange Beach at The Moorings. It is professionally decorated. This is a huge 1600-square-foot unit with an additional 300 square feet of covered balcony on the top, penthouse floor. It has 9-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows across the back of the unit and skylights.
This condominium is the largest 2 bedroom floor plan in The Moorings. Only 4 other units are this big. This is a $500,000 unit that has the very best of everything. It has a great view of the pool area as well as Terry Cove and Robinson Island (the most active area of costal Alabama) and the Gulf of Mexico.
It is directly next door to Harbour Grille (one of the finest restaurants in Orange Beach). Walk out the back door on 1/4 million square feet of docks and fish for flounder and trout. Then come on back and cook 'em up on the $3,000 stainless steel Holland Grill on your balcony. Hang out by the one-acre pool area or next to the fireplace in the condominium. Watch TV on a 52-inch HDTV with Digital Light Processing. The kitchen features stainless appliances, granite counters, premium utensils, ice makers and hardwood cabinets.
Take in the boats going by while you read your favorite book on the huge balcony. You can bring your boat and tie it to our docks while you stay. It will be right out your back door. If you have a Jet ski, there is a sandy beach on property to park it. There is a small charge to store your trailer at the marina next door. (The rate is $50 a month. You do the math)
Sound like a great vacation? It will be if you rent this condominium for the week. If you decide to stay at The Moorings, you will come back year after year.
On this web page you will see a calendar. I keep the calendar up to date. Please check it prior to inquiring about this property. Below it is a call owner box. Below that is an email the owner box. Please do not call me and ask if the condo is available or what the total price is. I have a full time job. I do not have a calculator and the booking schedule with us wherever we go. I do however carry a smart phone that sends all the emails directly to me. I respond to email within hours. I will answer any questions that you might have. We would love to have you stay at our condo. Thanks

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose The MooringsWe love Orange Beach, AL. It is the Ft. Lauderdale of north Florida. There are canals through out most of our neighborhoods and fishing abounds in shore and off shore. If you enjoy boating this is a wonderful place to live and visit. Our restaurants and our entertainment are second to none, and the Warfal is only 5 miles up the road. It has headline concerts, theaters, tons of shops and restaurants. It seems that Orange beach has more restaurants per resident than any other place in America. Every variety of food at every price level is available in Orange Beach. Of course the 30 or so sea food restaurants are the most popular. Last but not least, our beautiful beaches. There is more unspoiled beaches in orange beach than you could get to in a month. Our white quartz sand is so clean that it squeaks when you walk on it. Finally, Pensacola and Naval Air Station is only a ½ hour away. The Naval Aviation Museum is the finest in the country. (It’s great for a rainy day at the beach) Come down to Orange Beach and experience why we moved here full time.
The Unique Benefits at this CondoThis is a low density condo that is surrounded by activity yet it is church mouse quite at night. The pool is 1st class. The marina is active. There are very few renters in this complex as most owners are millionaires that don't rent their unit. The lights of the bay and the live music that permeates that air in early evenings from the restaurants patio deck next door makes this a beach vacation to remember.

We could not believe this condo for the price, IT WAS FANTASTIC!!! We had a great time the 4 days that we stayed here. It was very quiet and the views are to die for. We loved it. We didn't want to leave. We are looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Had a comfortable, safe and fun stay at your condo, Dan. Can't express how much it meant to us and how much we enjoyed it. We hope to return again to OB in Feb/March of 2011 if we can find such a place again. Gratefully yours, Thom & Judy Richer

Can't wait to rent again. This unit was extremely spacious and comfortable. The view of the bay/pass/marina make for awesome morning and evening views. This unit is top notch to say the least. I look forward to staying here in the near future. The complex itself is extremely hospitable and the tenants are very friendly. Dan was very accommodating and we would recommend his condo to anyone. Again, I look forward to staying here in the near future.

The condo was absolutley beautiful. The view was second to none. We would definitely rent again. We love the Orange Beach area, and if I had my choice, we would live down there. This was our first experience using VRBO and would recommend this to anyone. Dan was very kind and informative. Thanks so much, again.

Dan, I am so sorry that I forgot to comment on your property until now. We had a great time and really enjoyed staying in your wonderful condo. It was great having you near to help secure me parking for my Harley. I plan to stay with you again next summer.
Owner response:Thanks Fred We look forward to having you back. Dan and Carolyn
