Lovely Condo

Date of Stay: 03/24/12 Review Submitted: 04/22/12

This was our first time to vacation at Orange Beach, and it was wonderful. We had small children, and this condo was perfect for our family. Everything we needed for a convenient and comfortable stay were all in the condo. It was very nice and clean, but didn't have tons of breakable items that we had to worry about with children. the kids loved the indoor and outdoor pools, and we loved being able to walk right onto the beach from our condo. The view was spectacular from our balcony and we watched dolphins swimming in the ocean everyday. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone!

WONDERFUL WEEK AT THE ENCLAVE

There was 6 of us staying at The Enclave for one week in September of 2011. It was a perfect location, condo very nice, our weather was perfect. We walked the beach each morning, so enjoyable. We wanted a very stress free vacation at a nice place, and it was certainly that. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pans and nice and clean. Sally was so helpful in answering our questions and sending us points of interest to go visit when we were at her place in Gulf Shores. I want to thank her for her kindness. I would definitely recommend staying at her place. Everyone we met there was very friendly, also.

Shreveport Gals

We stayed here and had a wonderful time and experience. The condo was very clean and well equipped. It was a week with girls only, so we did cook alot. The location of the condo was excellent, you could walk to some resteraunts, shop at the local grocery stores as well as other stores. Being on the 2nd floor was good because you did not have to go far to get to the parking lot, pool or beach. The maintenance people were there every morning cleaning the pool, so that was real nice to know the pool was always clean. We also got to experience the hatching of baby Sea Turtles which had a nest right in front of the condo. It was Awsome. Would reccommend staying here anytime to anyone needing a place while in Orange Beach. As the song goes "the only thing we had to worry about was if the tide was going to reach our chairs". Thanks, Sally for all your help in making the renting process a breeze. Kim

GREAT CONDO

Guest: Grammie (Plano, TX)
Date of Stay: 08/06/11 Review Submitted: 08/25/11

Our first time to rent at Orange Beach, but absolutely not our last. And we will always come back to this condo. It had everything you would want for a wonderful vacation. Everything shown on the website was exactly as seen, if not better. Great for a family get together. Four bedrooms allow all, grandparents, children and grandchildren, to stay at one place. Beach and view were beautiful. Area had everything you would want, store, restaurants, activities. But just relaxing by the ocean is all you will want to do. Best of all the owner was most pleasant to work with. Don't hesitate to rent this unit, but please not my week. It is going to be a yearly event.

The most PERFECT Christmas and New Year's holidays!!

Date of Stay: 12/11/10 Review Submitted: 01/13/11

As my time is winding down here (I've been here since December 11th, 2010!), I cannot express to the fullest in words how I'd love to describe this property and location. But, being the English major I am, I will certainly try! I decided at the beginning of the year, that instead of spending 2.5 weeks indoors in Starkville, MS with my four daughters at Christmas, that we would go to one of our favorite places on earth: the BEACH! Luckily, I stumbled upon Sally's place on VRBO and she was the nicest person on this planet to plan and correspond with. She easily made me feel like her home was my home. The layout of her condo worked PERFECTLY for my family and extended family. I was able to invite my parents and my brother and his wife to come stay with us during the week of Christmas because of the bed arrangements of the 4 bedrooms. NEVER did the ten of us ever feel like we were walking on top of each other or that we didn't have our space. EVERYTHING was at our fingertips: plenty of towels, linens, cookware, DVD players, even cards/games! But the best part of the trip? Besides the amenities? Was waking up every morning in that awesome center of the building master bedroom, with a sliding glass door to the most beautiful and unobstructed view ever. (And of course you get the same view from the den/living area!) The location this condo is perfect! You're right over the outdoor pool, you're steps away from the elevator, and right across from the tennis courts (that my girls loved riding their scooters they got from Santa on!) And it was just a short elevator ride down to a fabulously heated indoor pool that we did have to use due to some cooler weather while we were here. (And I fell in love with the afternoon security guard who explained and even showed to me how everything there is on camera and how while I was there the week by myself, I was very safe.) I cannot say enough good things about Sally's condo. The layout was perfect. The location was perfect. My month's vacation was perfect. I will have to come back again. Sally, if you ever sell..............look me up. :) Thanks for the BEST Christmas and New Year's vacation ever.

Great Vacation at Orange Beach!

Renting your condo for the month of November was a fun experience for our family. We really enjoyed being at the beach during the fall. The second floor view was absolutely beautiful, and the location of the condo was perfect. Since I prepared Thanksgiving dinner there, I was especially thrilled with the well-equipped kitchen! Orange Beach is a great place to vacation with family and friends. Beautiful beaches, fishing, wonderful restaurants, convienent shopping, interesting places to visit, -- There is something for everyone! Our time at the Enclave flew by, and we had a wonderful vacation and made many happy memories. Thanks, Sally, for being so very helpful and kind to us! We hope that we can go again!

Family Reunion at the beach

Date of Stay: 09/03/10 Review Submitted: 09/14/10

We had a wonderful time. My family lost our beloved mother in 2009 and we decided to begin a tradition of getting together once a year. This condo was really nice to stay in. We had eight family members in our condo. We are planning to come back next summer. As soon as I know the dates we will try to stay here again, Thanks for having us that weekend.

Vacation 2010

Thank you so much for a week in your little paradise. The condo greatly exceeded my expectations. The furnishing were absolutely over the top. We could not have asked for a better view from the balcony. Our family had a great time.....and to think we almost cancelled because of the media....they are sooo wrong. Thanks again.

We stayed here June 5 -12, 2010. Everything was GREAT. We did see some tar balls toward the end of our trip, but was pleased at the all the clean up efforts that were NON STOP during our entire visit. We were also glad we were able to photograph and video about the oil spill. We will be back soon, God willing that this oil spill issue is resolved and cleaned up by BP as it should be. Thanks Sally! You were great to work with during this "iffy" time and you will be hearing from us. Maybe as early as a long weekend in October !!! Thanks again, Laura Morris

Date of Stay: 05/15/10 Review Submitted: 05/28/10

We had the opportunity to stay in the 4 bedroom Enclave the week of May 17, 2010. Best Beach location and the view was awesome. Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Top class in every possible way. The kitchen is fully stocked with the best cookware and dishes ever. Nothing is left off her list. Sally Rice knows what people are looking for in a truly excellent condo. We plan to go back May 2011 for our next Sonshine Girls getaway. I would recommend this condo to all my friends and family. We feel it is tops. Sally Rice answers emails and phone calls and makes you feel you have received the Best Customer Service in the world!

Sally, We enjoyed our stay here so very much! Your decor, space and comfort of this gorgeous condo allowed all of us a week of rest, sun, fun and good food. We so appreciated the beautiful kitchen with an abundance of beautiful dishes and a spacious pantry. We look forward to coming back and staying at Enclave 204 again. (Loved the drapes in the master suite that didn't allow the early morning sun in!)

Dear Sally, I just wanted to say again that we thoroughly enjoyed staying at your condo in The Enclave. We have rented several other places over the past few years. Yours was the very best for convenience and equipment. Everything was perfect. Great kitchen! Hope we will have the opportunity to stay there again. Pat Kirk

The pictures - which are great - don't do the condo justice. It is beautifully decorated, has all the amenities (dishes, pots/pans, appliances, linens, etc) that you will need and it is located in a prime location on Orange Beach. You have short drives to great seafood, grocery stores and a short stroll across the dune to the beach. I highly recommend this condo and it's owner.

Our family just had the pleasure of staying in condo 204 at the Enclave in August. The condo is just beautiful and well stocked with ever you need in the kitchen. The view from the balcony and being on the 2nd floor is just great. The place is very clean and decor is beautiful. The owner is a great person to deal with. Will be back again. WE HAD A GREAT TIME!! Thanks for having us

The condo is beautiful with a matching view. It is located right beside the elevator with an outside storage for beach items. A plus is the tennis courts are right across from the door which served as an enclosed play area (when not in use of course) for the children. We could easily look upon family that were enjoying the outside pool from the balcony or video those on the beach. Wonderful heated indoor pool too. Also a big plus that we could simply walk across the street to the grocery store. We would defintely stay here again!!!
