Completely and totally renovated condo!! FABULOUS VIEW!!!!!Nestled on the first floor with a fantastic view of the Bay, this unit has been completely remodeled from the ceiling down. The view captures you as you walk in the door and draws you in straight to the balcony. Easy access is an understatement. No stairs, No elevators. Unloading has never been easier. You can walk right out your balcony into the pool. Catch your boat ride steps away. You wont be giving up anything with this unit. Our family has comfort approved it. Comfortable beds, plenty of storage, lots of nooks to read or be on your computer, and Big TV's! And did I mention Easy access! Never touch an elevator. Yet still have a fabulous view! Access the pool right from your balcony. You also have a very private balcony with a very private pool area and place to lay out right in front of your balcony. Tucked away in a corner with so much privacy! You are minutes to all the best restaurants and music on the island. Ask about the kayak rental and paddle out to Robinson Island where all the locals hang out! This is a most fantastic place!! Oh and we got a brand new sectional just like the old one!

We loved this property. There are so many good things I can say. The view, the ease of being right on the pool area, comfort, and much more.
We WILL stay here again if they will have us
It is a great condo for the price. Connie was fantastic to work with. The condo has everything you need. Check the cabinets before you head to the store. You will be amazed at what’s provided. Enough linens for all week. Private pool entrance off your 1st floor entry. NO STAIRS! All the kitchen equipment you would ever need. Over all a great experience.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The view from the patio was amazing. It was so easy to move our belongings to the condo with door so close to the parking lot. We had everything we needed and the furniture was very comfortable. The kitchen was great. The location was close to so many things but was quiet and private. I was able to see dolphins that came in very close to the outlook area of the outdoor area. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. I felt we had great communication with the Connie, the owner of this condo and it was really nice to meet her in person as we were leaving We only had 10 days here because of my husband breaking his femur ( we were scheduled for 35 days) Even with his new handicap, this condo worked out so well and we were so happy we were actually able to make it down here

Amazing views and easy access! Walk right from your gated balcony to your private oasis!
The ease of access is what makes this property special. The views are to die for. Kayaking right there. Dolphins in sight everyday! put your float in the water right outside your balcony and float into the middle of a huge pool and then paddle back. You have the most private unit in the building. Decorated just right. The beds are very comfortable. All the items you need to cook a great meal are right there. Plenty of towels. Lots of space to get out of the way. Sweet little reading nook the kids loved! Your minutes from the the best restaurants in the area and a good number of Dolphin cruises. Walking distance to a great Tiki Bar and Sportmans Marina. I highly recommend. Connie and Mark Glassford are wonderful people.
Pros
- Nice older condo complex
- Great views of the bay
- Large pool with sunbathing areas right outside the nice covered patio
- TV w/ satellite in living room and bedrooms
- Responsive owners
Cons (recommended updates)
- worn out sofa covered with stains
- Keurig machine needs replaced
- have cleaner wipe out drawers/cupboards and silverware holder regularly
- replace all wall vent covers and shower curtain rods with fresh ones
- fix taped on light switch in dining room and replace missing bulb
- fix or replace ceiling fan in living room so the lights can be used
- we stayed 6 nights and was given one roll of TP per bathroom
** This is a nice place to stay if they make these handful of improvements.

Got it all done, purchased a new couch but exact same model, fresh paint, and the outside of condo has been completely remodeled and we have brand new doors and windows. The place is stunning!! Thank you for choosing Back Bay Hideaway unit 108! And thank you for your comments. I will address these. We do have a couple of stains on the couch but they are clean stains and barley noticeable. We thought about replacing it but the Couch is so comfortable. We felt like it still has life. Children like to sit on it and they do make a mess sometimes. Hurricane Sally has done a number on so many condos along the gulf. Having a unit up and running to rent is a feat in and among itself. So. I guess I have overlooked such things as the a/c vents. I must say that the Keurig works, I’m staying here right now and made a cup just to make sure. I’m not a Keurig user at all, we have a BUNN which I use. The electrician has not come to make repair to the light dimmer switch yet. It was accidentally broke by previous guest. The drawers are deep cleaned yearly but not wiped out after each cleaning. The pull cord on the fan for the light looks to be broken. I didn’t realize this. Since I’m here now I can address some of the minor issues. On the toilet paper, I don’t supply a weeks worth. Just a starter. I also supply starter of Paper towels, laundry detergent and stock basics so you don’t have to pack your entire pantry.
Really beautiful view of the bay. But construction going on that was noisy and we couldn't go out patio to
Pool as describe. We did
Enjoy our stay though.

Donna Im very sorry about this construction. Nothing has been started or completed as it was described to us. They covered the pool and locked the gate and earlier than they said and we were not informed. It has been so frustrating. FINALLY, we are completed with construction. They removed the pool covering and our balcony is open with new railings and you can access the pool again. I am happy to comp you a couple free nights on your next stay. Thanks again for choosing us and I promise this construction is OVER and the place looks stunning!
We had the great time at this condo. There was plenty of room. The kids loved walking down to the water and catching crabs and fish. We would definitely stay here again. The owner was so kind and responded right away about anything we had questions on.
We enjoyed this condo so much! The bay is beautiful, condo was so comfortable. The property was quiet and well maintained. Pool is beautiful! We loved being able to walk right out of our door to the pool. Connie was great to work with. We will be back!
Beautiful place to stay while visiting Orange Beach, AL
Everything was so nice and clean. Well maintained. We were able to rest and relax. The dolphins really put on a show for us as we sipped on our coffee and watched from a bench. If you have great eye sight you are able to watch from the porch. The beach and great food is minutes away. We hated to leave. So peaceful.
Nicely appointed condo with all the comforts. Great location on the bay. Lots of friendly, permanent residents make you feel like you're visiting a family home. Perfect for a quiet vacation.
Everything was great, from the location to the amenities. Pool is located steps from the back patio and we enjoyed sitting outside at the patio and watching the dolphins. Enjoyed our time there and would stay again

Thank you Chad! We hope you can travel our way again soon.
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The location within the building is ideal. Two steps from the patio into the pool which our kids swam in multiple times each day. The views are spectacular and we saw dolphins right from the patio. The kitchen was well stocked, beds are super comfy and the reading nook was a big hit. Would definitely stay here again!
Scheduling a beach trip between 2 hurricanes is also a risky choice, but Connie was so helpful. Property was great, the bed was literally the most comfortable that I’ve ever slept on and it was very clean and well maintained.
I was also really impressed with the linens . They were all plush and she had an abundance so i really appreciated that! I’ll definitely go back.
Really enjoyed our time here. It is a bit removed from the main strip so it’s away from the traffic and is about a 10 minute drive to the beach. There are plenty of restaurants and a great playground close by.
Positives:
Nice pool - can walk right out from first floor
Great view of the bay - saw a few dolphins and stingrays
Very responsive owner
Was pet friendly for walks
Area for kayaks/paddle boarding right next to the property - but not provided
Kids loved the reading nook
We really liked Oso’s and The Gulf for dinners. And went to Sweet Cone Alabama for ice cream 4 times in 6 days.
We had family staying on the beach but it did seem like public beach parking could be difficult during busy times. The beaches are great though.
This facility , condo and location was absolutely perfect for us. Very relaxing setting and quite while very convenient to everything. We will be booking our next trip to the gulf back at the same condo.
Beautiful condo with everything you need. We brought our jet ski and was able to keep it on the property which was very convenient. We also brought our small dog which worked out great. Will definitely book again.

About the host
Hosted by Connie Fidler Glassford
Growing up in this area, I have always loved the water. Yet, I'd be on the beach and think, I really wish someone would come pick me up for a boat ride. Hard to do on Gulf side. But with this unit, you are right there! Boat rides are coming! There is nothing better for locals to hang out right here! Best of places to eat and best places to hang out are a short boat ride away.
Why they chose this property
We live in the area and wanted a boater friendly property. While you can't park or use a boat slip you are adjacent to the local marina, not mention if you know anyone with a boat, it is very easy to catch a ride. You can see Robinson Island. Also, one that was close to the new entertainment complex in Foley as well as the great spots to eat in Orange Beach and the Gulf Shores area. Also a place we can kayak and boat from.
What makes this property unique
Easy access! Never touch an elevator. Yet still have a fabulous view! Access the pool right from your balcony. You also have a very private balcony with a very private pool area and place to lay out right in front of your balcony. Tucked away in a corner with so much privacy!
