  We loved this condo and all the amenities it had to offer. Patti was a pleasure to work with and answered all my phone calls and questions. It is a beautiful condo and wonderfully decorated. It felt like home the minute we walked in. Patti has made sure it is comfortable for everyone and the storage closet on the bottom floor was great. We had access to beach chairs and umbrellas so we didn't have to buy or rent on the beach. The weather was outstanding and at night the pier is just breathtaking from the balcony. We will definitely be back and will recommend it to all our friends.

  Thank you again for all you did to make our vacation at ES62 so "special"! It is the most relaxing vacation we've had. We got so much enjoyment from the balcony. It was great! You were so helpful with all the information you gave us about the area. Thanks again for everything.

  Patti has created a "home away from home" for all guests. We enjoyed ourselves so much we're returning next year in Jan and Feb! The condo is perfectly stocked and the whole experience is relaxing and fun! As clean as could be, comfortable and with a decorators touch! Patti knows what she's doing and was so easy to work with every step of the way. This is a gem!

  Recommended for: Age 55+

  Owner response: Dianne, I'm so glad you and John enjoyed the condo and will be coming back next year for a longer stay! Maybe we'll have a chance to meet face to face next time. Stay warm!

  Thanks for sharing your condo with us! It's been a lovely week @ the beach. The weather's been great too! My husband's taken time to fish & I've enjoyed reading, relaxing & walking. We've also taken time to sightsee along the coast & do some outlet shopping (even have a couple Christmas gifts already!). The food's been fun too - we've eaten at Live Bait, LuLu's & Lamberts--all great experiences. Fall @ the beach has proven to be super & coupled with our birthday celebrations, we're not looking so forward to our return to Kentucky (& the real world). But, our Kentucky hometown of Springfield is a lovely place & there really is no place like home! We've enjoyed making your home - ours :) Thanks!

  My husband and I stayed here for a week, and it was incredible. Im a very picky person, so I was worried that we might stay in a "worn-down" condo. When we arrived, I was amazed at how clean the condo was. We were able to leave a day earlier, and Patti was more than accommodating in letting us come in on a Sunday night. Her cleaning lady did an absolute incredible job. Clean kitchen, no dust on top of the fridge, silverware clean, glasses, dishes, pot & pans...all spotless!! The bed was soft, and it just felt so good after a long drive from Houston. The condo has cable tv and wireless internet, just so you know. The view from the balcony is beautiful. No obstructios in your field of view...nothing but ocean. I would get up at 6:30, make some coffee, and watch the sun come up over the horizon almost every morning. Its just so peaceful. For those of you who haven't been to Orange Beach, just to let you know, right down the street...and i mean RIGHT DOWN THE STREET....is a Publix grocery store, a mini Wal-Mart, gas stations, Pharmacy...everything you need. The condo is fully furnished. Pots, skillets, blender, coffee maker, toaster, cooking and eating utensils. I only wish there was a crock pot. We ended up purchasing a small one at Wal-mart, and cooked some of our dinners while out sight-seeing. It helps to keep from eating out every day, and who dosn't like a home cooked meal. There is a storage closet loacted on the bottom floor...right before you get to the beach. Very handy when carrying a chair and a cooler from the beach. The place is quiet, and it seems everyone has a mutual respect for the people staying in the condo. No noisy neighbors, no partying, no drunken college frat boys. A BIG plus. Needless to say, this condo is an excellent place to stay and just unwind, relax, and recuperate. My one and only complaint, which is something everyone can agree upon, is the fact that we had to leave. It seems the time spent here....just wasn't enough. We are definitely going to stay here again on our next vacation. Now...to count the days until our return....

  There was only one problem with our stay...we could not stay longer! The condo was wonderful and felt just like home. The master bed slept great and the a/c's worked perfectly. We enjoyed seeing the dolphins while sitting on the balcony, it was so peaceful. We ate at 3 restaurants: Sea-n-Suds, Flippers & Bubba's Oyster Bar. They were all great with affordable prices. Even though it's fall, the weather was perfect. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful condo. God bless.

  What can I say...a buddy of mine told me about this place while we were deployed. So, I had to check it out! Best vacation ever...we really needed this. Thank you! We have been looking forward to this for awhile. Franco's was a great pasta place. Cotton's had a wonderful steak. Megan and I even made a sand castle which I haven't done since I was 5. The condo really made us feel like it was a home away from home. I really appreciate you calling and checking on us with the upcoming storm. That meant a lot to both of us. Thank you. See you next year!

  We've been looking forward to our beach trip for months. Staying here was the best decision by far! Very clean and comfortable! The balcony was our favorite "chill" spot. We enjoyed the beach during the day and went out to eat at night. Cotton's, Shrimp Basket and Tacky Jack's fed us good food and provided excellent service. Adventure Island was great for the kids. We will be back and will look to book ES62 on our next visit! Thanks for a great place to stay and have fun!

  Thank you for allowing us to stay at your condo - it was so comfortable & homey. We absolutely loved walking on the beach & relaxing on the balcony. We were so excited to see the dolphins every morning from the balcony. My family & I truly had a wonderful vacation with so many great memories that we will have forever. We enjoyed Waterville USA Water Park and we rented jet skis. We saw sting rays so close to shore during our morning walks. Thanks again - we had a blast!

  We were looking for a close getaway for a short trip (unplanned). This could not have been any better in any way. Everything was as described and is perfect for a short or long stay. The condo is very nice, with everything you need. The view is awesome and the beach is so close. The condo is so clean, and everything looks new. There are many stores and places to eat very close to the condo. Patti, thanks so much for making this happen for us. Suzi and I will cherish this trip for many years. We will definitely be reserving a longer trip in the future. Thanks!

  Our family has looked forward to this trip for a long time. It was worth every penny and every minute! This was our family's first vacation together. Our daughters are 5 and 1 and both enjoyed staying in this condo very much. For us, this trip will not be forgotten because we had a lot of "firsts" happen! Our baby girl took her 1st steps on the patio of the Oyster House, said her 1st words :), and our 5 year old swam unassisted for the first time. Very exciting! The beach is beautiful and Skye #62 was the perfect find for us! We sure wish we could've stayed longer. Thanks!!

  My sister and I are finishing up a week in Emerald Skye 62. It has been a great week. The view from this condo is amazing! We sat on the balcony every morning and enjoyed our coffee and ended the days by sitting out and listening to the ways. Patti was great to work with. The condo had everything that we possibly needed for a great stay. We are so hoping to return again!

  This might have been a high point in our lives. What a wonderful place to "get away" at! The condo was sparkling clean when we got here. The size of the condo was perfect for my husband and me. The bed was wonderfully comfortable as was all the furniture. You did a great job in furnishing this place. The beach was most awesome! It wasn't crowded at all and it was clean! We did a lot of "chillin" there. Our favorite place to eat was Ship Harbor. Oh my gosh! The food, Grouper Pontchatrain and Blackened Duck with a praline sauce were indescribably delicious. But even more incredible was the bread pudding in a Southern Comfort sauce (with a fresh orchid on the side). This was to die for! Please, readers, have some while you're here. Take note: one dessert is more than enough for two hearty eaters!! Doc's was our second favorite meal. My husband also enjoyed his shrimp dish from the Chinese restaurant. He enjoyed fishing on the jetties too. I can't say enough about our stay here in #62 at Emerald Skye! Sure hate to leave!

  Enjoyed our stay at Emerald Skye. Trips to the Naval History Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Fort Morgan & shopping in Fairhope were entertaining and fun. Lucky to be here for the Strawberry Festival in Loxley - music, crafts and strawberry shortcake - yum! Had great weather to enjoy it all. Accomodations were so comfortable & clean. A very nice vacation get-away.

  We enjoyed our stay in your condo. You were wonderful to work with on our last minute plans to get away for Spring Break! We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning listening to the sound of the ocean and watching the dolphins. The weather has been wonderful this week, so we have enjoyed just relaxing on the beach and the kids playing in the ocean. The Cold Mil Fleet Dolphin cruise was great. The dolphins cooperated and we got to see quite a performance. Location to shopping and restaurants was close and that was nice for walking. We loved it here and would definitely come back to Emerald Skye 62!

  We greatly enjoyed our stay at Emerald Skye. It was clean and well kept. It was so handy to be right on the Gulf, we spent a lot of time on the beach. Also, Emerald Skye made for a convenient location as there is a lot to do in the surrounding area. We certainly enjoyed the convenience and hopefully look forward to coming back again sometime. If you stay here, be sure to check out Cotton's restaurant right across the street, it is a great place with delicious food.

  My husband and I and our 17 month old son just got back from staying in this condo at Orange Beach. It is excellent! The beach decor is so cute and perfect for the condo. You can tell a lot of detail went into decorating it. The view was awesome. The beach was beautiful. Patti was excellent to deal with - she was so nice and helped us out in any way she could. Hopefully we can come back soon!

  We stayed here for our honeymoon last year and had the most amazing time ever! We chose this building for a smaller, quieter place, and were very pleased with our decision. Always great parking. Very quiet even in the middle of the summer. Very few people on the beach in front of the condo giving it a nice, private feel. Having the pier directly next to it was beautiful at night and made it more enjoyable sitting out at night with the lighting it provided. The condo is decoration is absolutely adorable, clean, fresh, and perfect! Plenty of space for a couple, small family, or even 2 couples wanting an escape at an affordable price! The owners were extremely friendly and super helpful. We absolutely cannot wait to come back & stay here again. We're hoping to book again this year! The one & only complaint we had is the elevator is a little slow, so don't be impatient...or take the stairs...only a few to get up or down!

  Owner response: Great News...the elevator is being replaced in November, 2011!
