Everything was wonderful. This is our second stay at this property and the host made sure everything was great for us. Great unit, has everything you could need in the kitchen, great AC, and the most perfect location, next to private residences and the state park, so you feel like you have the beach to yourself down the west side.

Thank you so much for staying with us again! It means a lot to have returning guests, and we’re so glad you enjoyed your second stay at A42. We’re especially happy to hear that you found the condo comfortable and well-equipped, and that the location was just what you were looking for. Being right next to the state park and private residences really does give the west end of the beach a quieter, more relaxed feel. Thank you again for choosing A42, and we hope to welcome you and your family back for a third stay!

The property was exactly as described. This made our second trip staying at Palm Beach and our 1st in this condo. It was clean, a lot of room. The only complaint would be the noise from work being done above us and on the door, no fault of the owners. Highly recommend this condo and location!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the condo clean, spacious, and just as described. It’s especially nice to know that you chose Palm Beach for a second trip and enjoyed your first stay in our condo. We’re sorry the work being done above and around the building caused some noise during your stay. Unfortunately, that was outside of our control, but we certainly understand how it can be disruptive. Thank you again for choosing our condo and for the recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to have you back at Palm Beach again in the future!

This was our first time in Orange Beach. The condo was exactly as pictured. The pool and pool area were very clean. Just a short walk to the beach from the condo. My kids enjoyed the dvd collection provided in the guest room. Not really in a location to walk to places because of the 4 lane road. Short drive to many shops and restaurants.

We are a family of 4 with a 6 and a 8 year old and this property was perfect! We are more beach people - so the convenience of walking down stairs for sunrises, sunsets, and sitting on the beach with the smaller crowd were absolutely perfect and so easy. We swam in the pool almost every day, and it wasn’t ever very crowded or rowdy. We cooked most meals and the setup was perfect with generous pots and pans, utensils, Tupperware, bowls, etc. The DVD collection was impressive. Our kids were a little sad to see and not be at the lazy river and other amenities at the phoenix next door (we have stayed at those in the past) but this was by far the parents’ favorite stay.

About the host

Hosted by Robert and Nancy Goodsman 251-233-1481

Host profile image
Palm Beach Condominiums has been a special part of our family's lives since 2001, when my parents purchased our two-bedroom condo during pre-construction. Over the years, we have watched Orange Beach grow from a quiet beach community into the wonderful vacation destination it is today.

We've been through a lot together—from Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and Hurricane Sally in 2020 to the BP Oil Spill. Each event brought challenges to our community, but through it all, the beauty of the Gulf Coast and the spirit of the people here have remained.

Our family has made many wonderful memories at Palm Beach, and we've had the pleasure of welcoming guests who have returned year after year. We hope you'll enjoy your time here as much as we have and create some wonderful memories of your own.

Why they chose this property

We chose Gulf Shores and Orange Beach because it truly feels like our little piece of paradise. The beautiful white-sand beaches and warm Gulf waters are what first drew us here, but it's the combination of everything the area has to offer that keeps bringing us back.

There's something for everyone—from relaxing on the beach or by the pool to fishing, golfing, boating, shopping, and exploring the area's many attractions. And, of course, there are plenty of wonderful seafood restaurants and local favorites to enjoy after a day at the beach.

We love that you can have a relaxing beach vacation while still being close to everything you need.

What makes this property unique

For us, it's the feeling you get when you walk through the door and see the Gulf of Mexico stretching out in front of you.

A42 is a spacious Gulf-front, two-bedroom condo with a large 202-square-foot private balcony and balcony access from both bedrooms and the living room. It's the perfect place to start the morning with a cup of coffee, spend the afternoon with a good book, watch the waves roll in, or simply enjoy the view at the end of the day.

We love the simple things here—listening to the surf, walking along the beach, hunting for that perfect shell, relaxing by the pool, and enjoying a great meal at one of the many local restaurants.

What makes A42 special to us is that it has been part of our family's lives for more than 25 years. We hope that when you stay here, you'll feel what we've always loved about Palm Beach and Orange Beach.
