Wonderful home, very clean and comfortable. Well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen. The extra beach towels were nice and the board games and beach toys were appreciated. It was a great place to stay!! No complaints!
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean and the views and beach access are excellent. The kitchen is very well stocked. We were traveling with mobility challenged individuals and the ramp into the home was extremely helpful. If back this direction, we would definitely rent this property again and highly recommend it.
Susans Sand Castle II is just what we needed. It has everything anyone would want in terms of the kitchen and just the right amount of beds for our group. Ice maker is a godsend! The only reason for the 4 stars in cleanliness was because one of the beds did looks like it had clean sheets, hair and some sand, but not that big of a deal, quick strip and wash and ready to go. In the master upstairs the bathroom toilet was still dirty and the exhaust fan does not work. The price is still good, just everything is going up, still better than others! We had a wonderful week!
Fabulous stay! Jamie and Leon were excellent hosts and so responsive to our needs and questions!!The house is incredible with absolutely everything you need for a perfect stay!!
We loved every second of our stay! The home is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. The kitchen had more gadgets than I knew how to use. Our favorite hang-out spot was the oversized, private boardwalk with 4, brand new loungers. Details matter and you can tell Susan definitely care about the details. The ramps were extremely helpful, as we are a multi-generational family. In short, do not hesitate to book this property. You will never want to leave.
Our family of 4 couples and 2 children could not have been happier with the large bedrooms and baths, plus the house is directly on the beach and sooooo private! Would gladly stay in this rental again!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in your home the week after Christmas and into the New Year 2023. The house was a perfect fit and had everything we needed. Beach access was perfect. We celebrated the Orange Beach Marlin drop for New Years Eve. We hope to visit again.
You can tell the owners have been at this for a while. They have thought of everything in terms of amenities…attention and anticipation of needs is on full display. The beachfront house is just steps from the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot.
House was amazing. Clean and very well kept and maintained. A worker was there making sure the outdoor light was working properly upon arrival. The check in and check out process was very convenient and no issues. The views were absolutely amazing. The house is set up perfect for a family.
This is my second time to stay at this property and I will be back. Clean, great location! Kitchen has everything, including appliances, that you could possibly need. All you need to bring is swimsuit, few clothes, & groceries! The property manager is wonderful. I highly recommend this property.
The booking was very easy, the description was spot on, the accommodations were lovely, Communications were always promptly answered. Simply put, no problems, no issues, no worries! Enjoy

Deb,
We are so sorry you were not completely satisfied with your stay. The great room, near by large farm house tables and barstool area near the kitchen gives the large room a total of twenty-six seats. The living room area alone will comfortably seat seven people and extra chairs are available. We will definitely take this suggestion and look for ways to add to the total.
Most families gather in the great room for meals and celebration but also enjoy the privacy of the four king suites, bunkroom with four full beds, deck and boardwalk leading them conveniently right to the beautiful beach front.
We take the maintenance and cleanliness of our houses very seriously and work tirelessly to ensure that guests are comfortable. We are very sorry that you were not pleased. We have loyal guests that return each year to enjoy the beachfront house and encourage all guests to contact us immediately if they have any problems.
If you look at the reviews on our site, there are a lot of positive things that guests say about this house. It is well maintained and well stocked, conveniently located and reasonably priced. We received no complaints before or after your stay, but we will fully investigate the claim because our goal is 100% satisfaction,
Please feel free to contact the Hospitality Manager at the number used for correspondence during your stay to communicate any concerns. Thank you for your feedback.
Sincerely,
Susan and Jerry Keen, Owners

Spring Break at Susan's Sand Castle II
This property is perfect! Everyone gets a king bed and the kids loved the bunk room. My only complaint is there's no fish cleaning station. This may not be important to most but our family loves fishing. Great location...very peaceful. We will be back.

We’re so glad to hear that your group had such a good time at Susan’s Sand Castle II.
Thanks for the feedback about the fish cleaning station. Next time you book with us, please remind me and we’ll make sure we get a table and hose set up for you under the house.
The house was, in every sense of the word, perfect.
Well appointed, and well prepared we wanted for nothing. The kitchen had every imaginable tool and appliance you might need and was well stocked with basic herbs and spices.
The beds were comfortable and all but one room was facing the beach.
We will definitely be back

Great place
Everything was excellent. The decor was very pleasant, as you can see in the pictures. Things you can't see were all better than expected, like abundant table ware and dishes, very nice bath and beach towels, pleanty of deck and beach chairs, very good beds, etc. The flow of the common areas is very good. Very large table for eating and game playing. The kids loved the bunk room.
Right on the beach. Very responsive management. We hope to stay here again.

Thank you so much Charlie for your kind review!

This beach home was everything we expected and more!! Everything was very clean and kept up nicely! The beds were all extremely comfortable too! There were 8 adults in our group and plenty of space for more! The boardwalk to the beach made it so easy to get our fishing equipment and beach chairs to and from the beach every day. Janie quickly responded to a few questions we had and was very helpful and knowledgeable about this property. Thank you Susan and Jerry for sharing this wonderful home with us! It was truly a little piece of Heaven!!
We had everything we needed and I loved how everything was labeled so it made it easier to find things. Having the ice maker and extra fridge was perfect to having enough room to keeping all the drinks cold. The only thing I would recommend which is a personal preference would be to have high top chairs so you could see the beach better from the lower deck and a new grill ! We loved the tent that was set up on the beach and the ice cream truck that came by almost everyday. We would definitely love to visit again.
