                            Our trip was a girls weekend getaway. We had a wonderful time and the 8 of us had plenty of room. We were so impressed with how well maintained everything was, you could tell the owners take good care of their condo. We also loved how well stocked everything was. The kitchen had anything you could possibly need. The beach was great but our favorite part was sitting on the huge balcony watching the dolphins.

                            This was the most enjoyable time off I have experienced in a long time. What a treat to get up in the morning, fix a cup of coffee, sit on the balcony and watch the dolphins go by while listening to the sounds of the gulf. The balcony was large enough for the entire family to sit together, the breeze was always wonderful - what more could you ask for. Everyone in the area was friendly and it was a wonderful experience. The girls have already asked if we can come to the same place next year. Thanks Sandy!

                            We have just arrived home from our second year staying at Wilgus Palace. Again, we had a great time. Once again, the Condo was excellent and the beach was beautiful. We love this condo because it is convenient to all of our favorite spots, especially Tacky Jacks. Not only do the kids love the beach, they spend a lot of time in the indoor pool and the outdoor pool. The view again was breathtaking! We look forward to next year...There is no other choice for us than to be at your condo!

                            We stayed in this great condo for 3 nights. The balcony wraps around and all bedrooms have access to the balcony. There were 6 of us (all girls) and we had plenty of room. It is beautifully decorated and in great shape - all of the luxury that is needed. And the owners are so nice to work with. Hope we can rent it again next year. It is right on the beach - beautiful view and just a few steps away. Clean and well maintained. Would recommend it to my friends and relatives. Loved the Hangout and Lulus (had young adults with us).

                            Six mature women escaped to this lovely condo for much needed rest and relaxation. After each day in the sun and sand, we returned to it's comfort. Amidst the fun activities of vacation days, we thoroughly enjoyed this beach retreat, the nearby shops and restaurants. After the many questioning phone calls to the owners, we loved meeting this patient couple over the weekend. I'll recommend Sandy and Dean's condo for your beach get-away.

                            Recommended for: People with disabilities, families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

                          Owner info

                          Year Purchased: 1997

                          About the owner: I am in my early 50's, as is my husband. We moved from Michigan in 2006 after my husband received a 'forced' retirement from General Motors. Living in Alabama was a lifelong dream of mine, as I had visited different parts of the state many times. Fortunately my husband fell in love with the beach too. He is currently working at an airplane manufacturing company in Foley, while I work for an insurance salesman in Pensacola. We hope someday to actually truly retire and look forward to staying at Summer House with an indefinite length of time - no end date to head somewhere else! Added note: April 2011: We just returned from a week cruising the Hawaiian Islands. It was beautiful -BUT- as soon as we could the same day we returned, we headed for Summer House to enjoy OUR BEACH...just as pretty to us!

                          Why the Owner Chose Summer House:
                          In 1989 my family began vacationing in Orange Beach. We loved it so much we purchased a two bed/two bath ocean SIDE condo up the street from Summer House. WE loved THAT so much we knew we would want to retire here someday, and needed a bigger condo to accommodate our children and their families later. In checking the different resorts, Summer House stood out way ahead of any other condo around. I remember looking up at the building from the two-tiered pool side and asking my husband if he thought we could ever be able to be so fortunate to own a unit there! In 1997 our dream was realized as we bought 1406A. We have since retired and moved nearby, not quite able to afford full time retirement at the beach just yet. But we visit weekly, if not daily, and take tremendous pride in keeping it in the 'ahhh' category we first experienced when we entered our condo. We hope you feel the same.

                          The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
                          The balcony is number one - to eat, rest or visit on. Walking the beach, the indoor pool and jacuzzi. Nearby shopping is so convenient for fun or groceries. Sometimes we have forgotten how much fun it is to play miniature golf with family of all ages! Personally, I prefer to just do dolphin watch 8-10 hours a day from the boardwalk by the pool. I used to offer a dollar to the first person who could spot a dolphin for me! Still works to this day!
