Wonderful July vacation stay
We had a great stay at this place for a week with our group of 6. The entire backyard area--the pool, the deck, the docks, walks and slips--it is fantastic.
Inside is great, too. It was mostly clean and things were in relatively good shape.
We loved the downstairs area, by which I mean the storage area on the first floor. Very handy bathroom down there for pre-pool (and post-pool) showers, and it's a great place to store fishing and beach gear.
There are only a few things holding us back from a five-star review. For one, the kitchen is just lacking a little bit on "stuff". Pots and pans are pretty worn, not large enough for a big group, quality not great (plan on things sticking on the stove), all that. Light switches outside aren't documented well--or at all--and those down around the dock just do not seem to work.
"Clean"-wise, there was a container chock-full of cig butts left for us on the table on the back patio. My kids found that one.
But that's just a housekeeping fail and I don't want these few minor points to dissuade anyone from staying here--make no mistake, this is a great property. The maintenance guy, Rick, was there to trim the yard and tend to the pool every other day (it seemed like). Rick is good people and cares about how things are going. We ate at a seafood restaurant down the street (Doc's) on his recommendation and were NOT let down.
This is a great place. The realty company was attentive and helpful; I was surprised, honestly, at how helpful they were.
Excellent location and property for boaters
The house, location and property is ideal for boaters. We went out on the boat every day. Boat house is covered for protection from rain. Waters are calm on the canal (no wake). When we returned each day, we relaxed in the pool for awhile to cool off and plan the evening. House was fine / adequate .. a little outdated with some things, but very comfortable, clean and accommodating. We enjoyed the ease of walking out the back door to the pool and boat shed, vs the hassle of elevators and long peers. Again, highly recommend for boaters.
Great property
The property was clean and perfectly located for our boat. We are looking forward to another stay.
Lived Up to it's name"FUN IN THE SUN"
We had such a great time! It was everything that we hoped for. The pool was our favorite, but I will get to that in a minute. In the past, we have stayed at one of the high rise condos on the beach and had to wait patiently for elevators and make multiple trips with every one else. It was so great to have a house to unload the car with ease so we could go have lunch at Tacky Jacks which is one of our favorite places to eat in Orange beach and it's just right down the road. Our favorite part of the day was spending the afternoons by the pool. We would head out to the beach in the morning which was just a short ride from the house and when we'd come home we would all hang out by the pool - relaxing, swimming, laughing, listening to music. Just us so it was so nice! The house had "beachy" decor so it was bright and lively making it feel like a beach vacation. Drinking coffee on the back porch in the mornings was so peaceful. We rented a pontoon boat for the day and it was so great to be able to pull the boat up right behind the house in the boat slip to load up our coolers, chairs, tents and all 8 of us rather than having to load the car up and load and unload at the dock. It was a great day on the boat and anchoring at some of the small islands and having it all to ourselves. We love, love, loved having the Publix grocery store so close. It was nice not to have to go out on the main highway with all that traffic. A side note, some of the other reviews mentioned it not being clean. We thought it was just fine. It's an older house but that's what makes it have character! We had a great week and will definitley be back and hope to make it an annual beach vacation spot!
Worst house EVER!
In 20 years of vacation rentals on the Gulf Coast this was by far the worst! The home is in a great location and has some great amenities but needs lots of maintenance and TLC. The home was filthy! Floors were sticky the day we moved in and the house was extremely dusty, dirty dishes in the cabinets, palmetto bugs in the downstairs laundry room and bath. The mismatched coffee pot gave my husband second degree burns, no outside lighting on or around the front steps, front steps are spongy and rotting, etc. We gave the rental company a type written list of some of the issues about 2 weeks into our stay. The maintenance man came out and looked at the problems, we received a new coffee pot and then we never saw or heard from the rental company again for the remainder of our 2 month stay. Probably the worse problem was the HVAC system which is in major need of cleaning. The furnace is one big dust ball and the ventilation system is horrible, blowing dust and stale air. The home always had a faint odor that no amount of cleaning and air fresheners would eliminate. All of the issues listed in the Fall of 2015 were still apparent and the house exhibited further deterioration. Such a shame!!!
Excellent location, great with the private pool, NOT SUPER CLEAN!
The location on Marina Rd is nice, away from all the chaos and traffic. The private pool was really nice. The house is obviously neglected though, strictly a rental property. We had to go purchase a large skillet because the house didn't have one, A/C hadn't been maintenanced and quit when the drain backed up late at night, vent hood doesn't work, all concrete areas were full of clippings and dirt - hadn't been blown off before our arrival, refrigerator is rusty, base board tops are black with dust, a/c return grill is black with funk, bannister spindle was broke off the back steps, mildew in tub. For $2500+ a week you expect cleaner, especially traveling with small kids!
