Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Emerald Key
We chose to purchase this unit due to its perfect location on the beach, fantastic floor plan, the very low-density complex (18 units), awesome construction, and its close proximity to our home and our other rental unit.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our unit is only a couple of minutes from our favorite restaurants and amusement park. I could stare at the ocean and sand from the comfort of this unit all day long. It's nice to pack a few clothes for a weekend trip without having to load the whole house as everything we need is always there for us.
Directly on the Beach in the heart of Orange Beach, Alabama !!!!

You could not find a better condo anywhere! We feel so fortunate to have stayed at Emerald Key #502. This was definately the best family vacation ever. The condo was well furnished and very comfortable. The view from the balcony was awesome. If your still looking for a place...you just found it. After staying at Emerald Key I realized just how important staying at a low density building is. The private beach offered plenty of room for playing. The hotels and high rise condos down the street seemed to be wall to wall umbrellas. (very packed don't go there) During our stay we collected sea shells, sand dollars, saw dolphins, stingrays, and even a shark, and of course swam and rode the waves in on our boogie boards. The Shopping center accross the street was so convenient. We will be back. Thank you to the Burrell Family for offering this place.

This unit is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and the view from the master bedroom and the whole condo is spectacular. December was a great month to be there because there were hardly any people on the beach. My sister has leukemia in remission and is super-conscious about cleanliness due to her compromised immune system. She, too, loved this unit and said she would definitely want to rent from you if she comes down after she retires. She said it is beautiful and so clean. You were very kind and accommodating to us. I can't thank you enough for making us feel at home. I think we only missed 4-5 days of walking on the beach because we went to New Orleans and other day-touring. We did get to Fairhope and delighted in all of the flowers and real poinsettias that were everywhere. We hated to leave, but the beach and the condo were getting busy with 12 cars in the lot when we left. We met one other owner and several other snowbirds from Missouri who moved in. I am so lucky I found you on the website and SO lucky the condo was as described and even better than the pictures. I worried about that a lot because it was our first time doing this by internet. I've heard horror stories from others who were locked into something awful. You may have some new renters someday. My sister, and people we met from near Paducah, KY, who came down from another unit for coffee, loved this unit as much as we did. Thank you! Happy New Year!

Review Submitted: 11/02/11
We just spent the weekend in the Condo. We went to Orange Beach to Celebrate the The 80th birthday of my wife's father. There were a few people there for the gathering so I had the opportunity to see a couple of other condos at Emerald Key. This was the nicest condo compared to the others that other members in the in the group had rented. It was updated with new electronics and you could just tell the difference in the upkeep of this unit. Surprising the owner indicated he was going to make some more upgrades to the unit! I don't think you are going to find many more units where the owner is focused on the upkeep and cleanliness of a unit. I had a few email conversations with the owner about restaurants in the area. He was more than helpful and spot on with his recommendations. I would highly recommend this unit to any of the other units you are looking at in the area. You will not be disappointed!
Owner response:Thank you so much for your review. You were a real pleasure to deal with. We really try hard to go the extra mile for our renters, and enjoy what we do. We hope you will be able to visit our beach front condo again soon.

We could have not asked for a better place for our girls getaway. The condo is lovely, spacious, clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The view is breathtaking. The owner is wonderful as well. You even get the convenience of having a grocery store right across the street. Book your vacation at this condo and you will not be disappointed.

We have been traveling to Orange Beach with our family for over 10 years now. We always stay directly on the beach and have found something special in this condo. We have stayed in condos that cost more and some that cost less, but nothing that compares to what you get for this price. It is very obvious the owners take pride in every detail of the unit. The place was immaculate. The location and view was perfect and the long walks along the beach priceless. We'll definitely be staying here again.

We loved taking long walks on the beach, swimming, collecting shells, and just enjoying the beautiful view from the balcony. What a wonderful place this is! The CONDO was great! LOVED IT! It was nice and roomy - you can't beat the view! The condo is gorgeous, spacious, and nicely decorated. Would love to come back!

Thanks for returning the deposit so quickly. I'd like to rent 502 again next year - sometime in June but I need to coordinate this with my family - so I'll be in touch shortly after Labor Day. Can you send me a schedule of open weeks? As always, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks for your hospitality!

My friends and I had the BEST time and fell in love with your condo at Emerald Key. It was absolutely divine--truly perfect! We loved the decor--my friends and I agreed that it was extremely well decorated, beautiful furnishings. Absolutely impeccable! I loved staying there so much that I hope you'll let me rent again, this time with my husband and son. It was a beautiful setting and a wonderful property. We also met the nice people that were staying in your other unit--they were having a wonderful experience as well. We can't thank you enough for offering your property online and giving us such a wonderful girls' getaway. We look forward to recommending your properties to our friends.
