The property owner was great to work with. Condo is a great location on the beach next to houses so beach was not crowded at all. House was so comfortable with plenty of space for my 4 adults, 2 teens and child.
We loved our stay in this beautiful condo! Everything is decorated in a beachy theme and you can’t beat the view! We had plenty of room for our family of 5 and plenty of supplies. The beds and furniture were really comfortable as well! Beach access was quick and easy and beach service was a nice addition! The owners were a pleasure to work with and we will most definitely be booking with them again! Book this condo! You won’t be disappointed!
The trip was amazing with family. Condo was very clean and spacious. Owners were always a text or call away and always responded constantly. We are looking forward to staying next year and enjoying the Beautiful view on the Balcony.
We stayed ina wonderful condo with husband and sister
We had a wonderful time! This condo is sooo comfortable, including the furniture!! It’s so bright and cheery with all the sliders in every room. The kitchen is very very well stocked if you prefer to cook instead of eating out. As you’re eating at the DR table, you can see the Gulf and its beauty.!! I definitely recommend!!!
Sandy's Summer House is a beautiful property, awsome view of the gulf and the white sandy shores of Orange beach. We were impressed with all the amenities this property had to offer and wouth gladly book future vacations at this condo. We did experience some negative things with the parking and the elevators but the owner was very helpful and even came to the property to address the problems. She was very nice, attentive and even sent me flowers and a cake after discovering that we were there celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary with our daughter and grandchildren. We would definitely recommend staying at this property.
Just a great place to stay at Orange beach. We always take the family of 6 and there is plenty of room for everyone. The views from inside the rooms and especially from the balcony are amazing. The balcony looking over the ocean is more like a patio, plenty of room for everyone to have space. The owners a super nice and helpful with any questions you may have. Also, there are shops across the street that are within walking distance and a neighborhood Walmart just right down the road. Location is superb. I highly recommend staying here. We go to Orange Beach every year and I don’t even look for other places to stay because this one is just perfect. Do not miss out on this place.
Our daughter wanted to go to the beach before she went off to college so we did a very last minute trip!
This condo is the perfect spot. Sandy made it super easy with booking and check in! Her details on the emails and instructions are great. (I told my husband that she might have been a teacher because it was so easy) There is a bit of building maintenance going on right now, but we were still able to enjoy our stay peacefully. It was a great place, as is, but after this remodel, it will be beautiful.
Sandy was so wonderful that even when my 18 year old forgot her favorite sweatshirt in the dryer, she shipped it to us! So sweet!!
The beach was beautiful and we had a successful trip!

DAVID and GRETCHEN MCCOY with brother DALE and wife JOANNE
WOW..WOW!! The view ++++ quad WOW! Sandy, (want to sell?) If not, I want to continue to rent. The weather was not the best, 2 days of rain, 2 days of high wind that blew the chairs to the rail, then it got cooler. But, you did not guarentee the weather. It did not matter. We had a GREAT time. Saw dalphins daily. I few sharks too. 6' to 8' foot inside the sand bar, about 30 ft from shore. Used the indoor and outdoor pools and well as the gulf. My wife used the exercise room daily. Went from your condo to Biloxi, Beau Rivage with rooms that were compte. Again, WOW,
what a great vacation. Keys on their way back. Thank you so much.
Question: I know you have a no pet policy. But my Canadian friends are looking for a place to rent for a month, Feburary 2016, but they have a dog, Skipper, a cockapoo, does not shed, totally house broken, would you consider a month rental, Feb 2016, my wife and I, my Canadian couple friends, 1 pet dog? Willing to put up a larger security deposit if requested, but it will not be needed, Skipper is a great dog.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar, 2020
David and Gretchen, thank you so much for your kind words! I am glad and not surprised you had such a lovely time! I look forward to having you back, as over 80 percent of my renters return over and again, always looking forward to whatever new update I may have done!
I am sorry, but I cannot allow even the best of pets in my condo. Association rules are that only owners can bring in a pet, and that pet has to be registered and given a special leash. And actually the no pet rule will not have much bearing as that I believe my first opening in 2016 is around May 9th! Hence, my urging to always book early! I have some wonderful snow birds and spring birds who I am thankful and lucky that return every winter and spring. Please check my calendar and let me know if any other date will do? Looking forward to your next visit! Thanks again, Sandy

Great condo with great beach location! Probably as close to the water as permitted!
Perfect! Easter vacation 2011 (last week of April) and weather was great! Leaving the doors open and listening to the ocean...calming as my 8-year old daughter put it. Condo layout is great and floor plan is well utilized. Two walls of large patio doors (corner unit) gives it an open and airy feel. Saw 2 other condo's of friends (different complexes)..wall to wall tile and sterile feel, with large foyers and small living spaces. Additionally, 1 was probably 200-300 YARDS from the ocean from the back of the unit, while still on the beach. Others will advertise "directly across the street from grocery store." So what! You are not walking across that 5-lane road. And if you make it, who wants to carry a bunch of groceries 1/8 of a mile? I much prefer to drive 2 minutes to the store and have the ocean at my backdoor +200 feet (that is why you are here!) than to make multiple long walks through the sand each day just to be across the street from the store.
The updates are contemporary and clean. Plenty of large living space for a family of 4+, and the balcony is killer. I cannot say enough nice things about the unit or Sandy the owner. Our trip was so great, we extended it by a day. 14th fl and no issues with the elevators.
The friends also commented that ours was the nicest unit by far. It feels much more like a beach home than a beach rental. We are already looking forward to a return visit.
Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar, 2020
Thanks for your wonderful comments. We just redecorated hoping to achieve that beach house feel. Remember, repeat guests are rewarded! Be sure to book early for next spring, as I tend to fill up quickly! Thanks again, Sandy and Dean
Such a fun Easter weekend getaway. Condo is just as the photos show. Great views of the beach and Gulf of America! Six of us slept comfortably across the 3 rooms. Had everything we needed in the condo. Communication with Sandy was easy. Prompt replies via text. Luggage and grocery style carts were plentiful. We would stay here again.
Pros - very nice updated unit (my husband loved the recliner), kitchen dishes/utensils/pots & pans well stocked, deck furniture very nice, nice to have wrap around deck on a corner unit overlooking pool and beach. Beach much closer than what I thought from pictures, and nice calm beach. Great location. Other than noted below, owner was very responsive
Cons - building is showing age, but very clean and had carts for moving items in elevators (two for entire building). Workout area (separate building) was very hot & not a lot of equipment- we went to city Health Club.
Water pipe had burst prior to our arrival in the unit above, and we were notified two hours before our arrival that we would be inconvenienced by a couple of fans - they were fans used to dry out drywall - loud and couldn't sleep that evening - owner gave us a $50 gift card to a local restaurant for our "inconvenience" - when you are paying top dollar in relation to other available units expected a discount or even a comped night. Fans were removed the following afternoon.
Overall - very nice unit, location and beach area - enjoyed our stay
Our family enjoyed everything about this condo. It was clean and decorated beautifully. It had a wonderful ocean view and overlooked the pool too. Loved that it was close to shopping for groceries, clothes and souvenirs.
The owners were responsive to all of our needs and quick to share things that we could do while in the area!
Great experience for our first time in the area!
The condo was great! Love, love that all you need to checkin is the code. Super easy and super clean. Condo had EVERYTHING we needed and the view from the balcony was superb.
This was our first time staying in a condo and using an online site to book. The property was great. Location was close to stores for shopping and exploring. The view from the balcony was just as listed. We even was able to watch a firework show right off of the balcony one night. The owners are extremely nice and answered any questions we had. I highly recommend staying at this property. We will stay here from now on.

About the host
Hosted by Sandy Wilgus
I am in my 60's, as is my husband. We moved from Michigan in 2006 after my husband received a 'forced' retirement from General Motors. Living in Alabama was a lifelong dream of mine, as I had visited different parts of the state many times. Fortunately my husband fell in love with the beach too. We hope to sometime soon become our own snowbirds and winter at the beach and let you enjoy the summers there!
Why they chose this property
In 1989 my family began vacationing in Orange Beach. We loved it so much we purchased a two bed/two bath ocean SIDE condo up the street from Summer House. We loved THAT so much we knew we would want to retire here someday, and needed a bigger condo to accommodate our children and their families later. In checking the different resorts, Summer House stood out way ahead of any other condo around. I remember looking up at the building from the two-tiered pool side and asking my husband if he thought we could ever be able to be so fortunate to own a unit there! In 1997 our dream was realized as we bought 1406A. We have since retired and moved nearby, not quite able to afford full time retirement at the beach just yet. But we visit weekly, if not daily, and take tremendous pride in keeping it in the 'ahhh' category we first experienced when we entered our condo. We hope you feel the same.
What makes this property unique
The balcony is number one - to eat, rest or visit on. Walking the beach, the indoor pool and jacuzzi. Nearby shopping is so convenient for fun or groceries. Sometimes we have forgotten how much fun it is to play miniature golf with family of all ages! Personally, I prefer to just do dolphin watch 8-10 hours a day from the boardwalk by the pool. I used to offer a dollar to the first person who could spot a dolphin for me! Still works to this day!
