Summary:

The Whaler 7B



The Space:

This property is situated in the beautiful Gulf Coast area known for its miles of powder-soft, sugar-white sand, sparkling emerald-green waters, and a treasure trove of amusements. Fishing is a fantastic activity when vacationing here. Learn everything you need to know about charter boat fishing, inshore fishing on the back bays, renting and/or docking your own boat, visiting artificial reefs either by boat or diving excursion, and the types of fish you're likely to hook. Take your catch to one of our outstanding seafood restaurants where they'll prepare it for you. Or, make use of your property's fully-equipped kitchen to serve up the bounty.



Golfers love the area, thanks to the nine signature golf courses within a short drive of the beach. History comes alive here. From Fort Morgan to Perdido Key to nearby Mobile or Pensacola, and all points in between, there are many opportunities to explore the unique international culture and history of the area. This is a shopper's paradise, with dozens of unique beach boutiques and major shopping complexes. Two popular shopping destinations are the shops at Tanger Outlets, situated just north of the beach, as well as The Wharf in Orange Beach, where you'll find shops, restaurants, a movie theater, and more.



For those who want to slow things down a bit, there are numerous day spas in the area that are ready to help you relieve stress with massages, facials, and salon services sure to make your vacation feel extra lavish. If digging into nature is on the agenda, visit the backcountry trails, go kayaking or canoeing, and explore the Gulf State Park or Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge. There are miles and miles of paved and natural paths that invite you to immerse yourself in the area's various ecosystems.



When it comes to entertaining the little ones (and the big kids, too!), visit The Park at OWA, with its heart-racing amusement park rides and midway-style games; spend the day at Waterville USA and zoom down giant waterslides, laze around the lazy river, and let the littles splash around in WAWA World; enjoy a round of miniature golf; jump and play at a trampoline park, or visit one of several fun arcades in the area. With so many options for fun along the Gulf Coast, your family's vacation can be as high-energy or as slow-paced as you desire.



After your adventures outside your vacation home come to a close, come back to a space brimming with natural light and stunning views. Lounge comfortably in the living room area and watch your favorite shows on the TV there. On cooler days, sit in one of the chairs in front of the fireplace or walk out to the balcony and gaze at the picturesque watery backdrop. Make yourself or the group a snack and indulge at the dining table as you reflect on the fun you had earlier. Feel free to use the bar and provided glasses for a refreshing drink as well. As the day comes to a close, take your pick from one of the three bedrooms. The primary in particular is eye-catching, as it has its own private balcony (complete with a view of the gulf), a TV, and its own bathroom. Enjoy the sunset on the balcony furniture before retiring to bed for the evening.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
The furnishings were nice, but the place was dirty. Our feet were black after walking on the floor for just a few minutes. There was lots of hair from previous residents on the floor, the rugs were not clean, the kitchen sink was dirty and there was garbage in the drain. The gasket for the garbage disposal was not the correct one so garbage flew everywhere rendering the garbage disposal useless. The maintenance team knowingly left a broken drawer in the kitchen with at least 30 exposed nails sticking out. On day two (after making two contacts with the management company), they came to repair. The maintenance person said he was going outside to fix the drawer, but never returned. We made another contact with management. The kitchen silverware drawer is gone (so they can build a new one?) and the silverware sits in a tray on the counter and there is a hole where the used to be located. The kitchen pans were rusted. The toilet in the middle bathroom had a broken handle and could not be flushed. When we took the lid off to manually flush it, the entire rim covered in black mold. A throw blanket on the bed that was grossly stained. They offered to send the cleaning team, but by the 2nd day, I had already cleaned up as best I could. I won't rent from the Avari Management group again. I feel bad for the owner as it could be an awesome condo. It's nicely furnished, good location, but the cleaning people and the lack of proper maintenance made the entire stay feel nasty.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Robin. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet the high standards we strive for. It’s clear that we fell short in several areas, particularly with cleanliness and maintenance, and we take full responsibility for that. We understand how disappointing it must have been to encounter issues like dirty floors, a malfunctioning garbage disposal, and the broken drawer. This is not the level of care we aim to provide, and we are actively addressing these concerns with our team to ensure they are resolved. Your comments about the kitchen and bathroom conditions are particularly concerning, and we will be reviewing our cleaning protocols to prevent this from happening in the future. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the furnishings and location, but we know that comfort and cleanliness are paramount for a great stay. We would love the opportunity to make this right for you and show you the true Avari experience. Thank you again for your insights, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.
