Walking sidewalk to Beach - Orange Beach

Thank you for considering our home for your stay! Orange Beach is truly a hidden gem, renowned for its stunning white sandy shores and crystal-clear waters. The vibrant sunsets and beachfront activities create an unforgettable experience for everyone. What sets our home apart is its unbeatable convenience to the beach. Just a short walk or quick drive away, you can easily immerse yourself in the beauty of the coastline. Whether you're looking to relax on the beach, enjoy water sports, or explore local restaurants and shops, everything is right at your fingertips. We are dedicated to making your stay enjoyable, and we truly believe that our home is the perfect starting point for your Orange Beach adventure. We can't wait to welcome you and share the beauty of this wonderful area!

We’re glad to hear that you made the best of your stay and enjoyed your family vacation. We use professional photographers so we can be sure that our images accurately reflect each property, and our listing correctly indicates that the beach is a quick 3-minute trip from the home. We apologize for any discomfort you experienced with the amenities. We provide summer-appropriate bedding for warmer temperatures, but extra cotton blankets are available in the closets for added comfort. We also feature three king beds and one queen bed for adult guests, while the twin bunk beds are better suited for children. Our gaming console is fully operational, though it occasionally needs to be checked for power, and we intentionally avoid using heavy laundry scents due to allergy concerns. Furthermore, the A/C issue causing the overhead damage near the kitchen sink is already scheduled for repair.

From the owner: "Thanks for your thoughts, Sherry. Look forward to seeing you guys again next trip."

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your overall stay and found the space clean and spacious. It’s great to know that our cookware met your expectations, as we strive to provide high-quality items for our guests. We’re also glad that you appreciated the comfortable beds we offer. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will certainly note your mention of the mold smell in the stairway to ensure all aspects of our property remain inviting. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay in the future!

From the Owner: "Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your recent stay. I’m glad to hear that you were satisfied with the size and cleanliness of the house and enjoyed the warmth of the space. I understand your concerns regarding the availability of supplies and the functionality of the grill.The housekeepers only leave enough personal toiletries and paper products to get you through your first night. In my home, as with all beach rentals, it is the guests' responsibility to purchase supplies for their stay.Regarding the grill, it is a large outdoor, park-style metal grill. The salt air can take a toll on all metal items exposed to it, but I assure you that the grill functions excellently. We specifically chose a large grill to accommodate families or groups, providing ample grilling space. I encourage you to give it another try next time!We conduct regular pest control, but occasionally, a pest may still manage to get in. Rest assured, we are also working on this issue."

From the owner: "I am so glad that my home suited your fishing trip so well. Hope you guys caught your limits! See you again next year."

From the Owner: "Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that our space accommodated your group of 13 and that everyone enjoyed the comfortable beds. We take pride in offering a well-equipped kitchen, and it's wonderful to know that our variety of appliances met your needs. We truly appreciate your comments about the ample indoor and outdoor areas that are perfect for gatherings and relaxation. It’s fantastic to hear you had plenty of dining options available! Regarding temperature, we fully understand the importance of comfort and will continue to work on improvements to enhance the experience for future guests. Your suggestions about bringing extra blankets and warm clothing are helpful and will undoubtedly assist other visitors in planning accordingly. We’re pleased you enjoyed the short walk to the beach and hope you created wonderful memories during your stay. Thank you once again for your insights, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future."

Hi Kristina, we hope you enjoyed your stay overall, but we're sorry certain aspects fell short of expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: - There are some cracked tiles in the kitchen, but the cracks are only cosmetic and on the surface. We have not replaced them yet since the tile is not broken through or chipping off. - I have been working with a professional cleaning company for many years, and they do a thorough job of preparing the home for guests. - I'm sorry that the cleaners arrived early. If they arrive before guests have departed, they sit in their car outside and wait for the guests to leave. They do not enter the home or announce themselves. Thanks for letting us know about your stay!

Hi Jesse, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: -I am always disappointed hearing that guests were not completely satisfied with their stay. -I chose to set the A/C temperature for the house at 70 degrees to avoid potential coil freeze and damage. This temperature during the summer is 5 degrees cooler than the manufacturer's suggested temperature of 75 degrees. For further guest comfort, all king bedrooms have ceiling fans alongside commercial-grade units to increase airflow throughout the house. -Our apologies if you felt caught off guard with our showers. The two showerheads have just been upgraded and are designed to provide multiple water spray combinations in water-conserving patterns. The hope when choosing these showerheads was to allow all guests to have similar showers one after another without the usual decline in water pressure and temperature. -We carefully set competitive rates for each property after a thorough analysis of the property itself and the surrounding area. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review as we are always working to provide each guest with a wonderful and memorable experience.

Hi Christina, we want our guests to arrive at a vacation home that is 100% ready for their stay, so we take the cleanliness of our properties seriously. We followed up with the homeowner, who wanted to clarify that they contacted their cleaners immediately after hearing from you. The housekeepers came to the house that night with clean sheets and offered to change all the sheets and address any concerns. The owner did all they could to resolve the issue and our team at Evolve also worked with both parties to find a fair solution. We're sorry that you were still unhappy, but we are confident our future guests will enjoy their time here.

Hi Cole, We are sorry to hear that some aspects of your stay fell short of expectations, but we were surprised to receive some of your feedback. You are correct that guests cannot reach the host through HomeAway's messenger app, but we are available 7 days a week to support our guests and do not have any records of a call or message from your group. The homeowner, however, did speak to one of the adults in your party a week before your arrival to discuss the layout of the duplex. If you had mentioned that the number of guests with you greatly exceeded the maximum occupancy of both properties, the owner would have explained that the occupancy limits are set by and strictly enforced by the city. We understand that the owner did not ask anyone to leave, but you let them know that you were able to move some of your group to another property that you had also rented on the beach. There were issues with one of the showers for the first night of your stay, but you still had access to the other 3 showers in the duplex while the owner had the problem quickly resolved. As you can see from other guest feedback, the owner always strives to provide truly 5-star experiences at their vacation home, and we are looking forward to helping them continue to do so! Best, the Evolve Team
