CONTACTLESS CHECK IN!

WELCOME TO SANDY'S SUMMER HOUSE 1406!

Here you are, looking for THE perfect vacation spot. Everyone is counting on you. Decisions! Let me help make this easy for you. I have been sharing my Summer House since 1999. Listening to what my guests like, what they would expect at their dream destination. I can't control the weather, but I can control meeting your expectations at my Summer House. That's why I have an 80% repeat guest list. I share in their anticipation of seeing what the latest update is to the condo as it is updated in some way every year. And I am here to answer any questions, just text, email or call. I know how hard it can be to make a decision, let me make it easier for you. Look at the 100+ guest reviews listed. You will not be disappointed!

Booking with me as an owner has a huge advantage for you. Management companies and business owners are in this just for the rental income. I am in this to provide you with the best choice you could make on a memorable vacation. I am available at any time...I will provide you with my phone number if you should need me. I don't close up my office at five or for the weekends, I am just a call or text away. Most times I personally inspect the condo prior to your arrival.

TWO bedrooms have KING SIZE beds!!!

This 3BR/2BA NON-SMOKING Condominium is in the Summer House Complex, a class above the other resorts, and a gated community. It has breathtaking views for miles and miles from its 14th floor tiled balcony that wraps around our corner unit. Now, this balcony is SO big you can lay on the lounge chair and still have room at your feet for someone to pass in front of you! ALL of you will have enough room to sit on the balcony at one time, not in shifts! You can watch the dolphins play! Hear the waves, sip that morning coffee in peaceful bliss, see the stars, ships, manta rays, toast the sunset...

FREE WIRELESS INTERNET AVAILABLE IN THE CONDO!!!

You'll be surrounded in luxury in this completely furnished unit with many extras, such as a full size washer and dryer and flat screen TV's in every room! Master bedroom is gulf-front, with a king bed and its' own door to the huge balcony. The side bedroom now has a brand new KING bed. The front bedroom has twin bunks, and one full to sleep four in one room! It also has a 25 inch TV with a dvd player! Blackout curtains in all rooms so you might get a chance to sleep in - maybe the kids will too?

Each bedroom opens to the balcony. Two full-size bathrooms - the master has the HUGE walk in shower and was totally remodeled for your comfort and use, the guest has the HUGE bathtub!! Soft fluffy towels for eight, and clean fresh Egyptian sheets on all the beds will be waiting! Every room has been freshly redecorated and updated! We even have a 'butler' to great you and hold your keys! (He keeps all secrets too, what happens at the beach stays at the beach!) Fully equipped kitchen with all stainless steel appliances and EVERY possible item provided -coffee maker, grinder, blender, bagel toaster, all new cookware too! Am I missing something you might need? (I doubt it!) But if I am...let me know and I will deliver it to you!

This spacious corner unit allows extra sunlight to the living and dining room, and spectacular sunsets from the side. Relaxing multi-color city lights to dine by! Plenty of room to sit back and relax. Even on the 14th floor, you can still hear the ocean lull you to sleep! The living room is peaceful and relaxing. Luxury all around.

*****DISCLAIMER FOR FALL/WINTER/EARLY SPRING
DISCOUNTS:
Summer House consists of 2 towers, Tower A (mine) is the east tower, Tower B is the west tower. My unit is on the west end of Tower A, directly across for the east end units of Tower B. Starting September 5th, there will be major reconstruction on the B Tower. They are starting on the east end, closest to mine, and will be removing balcony tiles (jackhammer) and replacing with a solid concrete base. They will also be replacing all the gulf side sliding glass doors with larger, hurricane proof doors. That process will include cutting threshholds, and walls as the new doors are larger than the ones being replaced.
This resulted in some noise, especially in September. As they move toward the west, the noise level is decreasing. Evenings will still be wonderful, looking for shooting stars and watching the ocean waves from the balcony. Work will be from 8am to 5pm. I cannot offer any more information, this is ALL that I know. Therefore, my price is reduced to reflect the inconvenience. Should you decide to book, there will be no refunds due to noise, and I will not allow a negative review to be published as you were made aware of the situation. I love being at the condo so much I was able to overlook the noise when we underwent reconstruction from Hurricane Sally. My husband strongly disliked the constant daytime noise. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions in the event I know more as the time gets closer. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************

50th Anniversary family trip
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.

2023 Beach Vacation
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.

Beautiful Unit
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

Great location and beautiful condo
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!

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.

Communication with the owners was excellent. They are very responsive. My daughter left her stuffed animal and my son left his iPad charger and The owners were so gracious to mail them to us. Very clean and beautiful. Amazing porch and view. It has everything you need including sand toys and boogie boards. All you need to bring is food and your basics.

Beautiful comfy condo
Very pleased. Visited with daughter, son-in-law and grandson. Condo was clean and very comfortable with enough space for everyone. Felt very inviting inside and you can tell the owner cares with little details. The kitchen was fabulous with everything you might need. The beds were all comfortable (my two-year-old grandson did "boinks" on each bed, including the bunk beds so I know lol. He was very excited with his first vacation). Sand toys at condo and we played with them on beach (thanks Sandy). There's boogie boards too, but was a rip tide during our stay so we didn't use, but during those calm ocean days, yes. Nice large balcony that wraps around, came in handy with a storm with high gusts, so you can move to another side to escape the wind (which won't happen for most but we enjoyed watching the waves, lightning and storm). Mostly families at property so it's thankfully quiet at night. Outdoor pool has an attached "kiddie" pool and there's an indoor pool/hot tub for when it rains or you've had enough sun. Owner very nice and responsive. This Nana enjoyed a lovely retreat and would return.

Sandy's condo is very nice. My wife said if she had any complaints, it would be that there should be a hair dryer in both bathrooms and maybe more than one roll of toilet paper in each. Other than that the condo is perfect.

Absolutely Wonderful Condo!
My husband, two teenage daughters and one of their boyfriends and I stayed at this condo Aug 4-11th. It was absolutely perfect! Plenty of room for all of us, beds were very comfortable (always a concern for me and I’m picky) and the condo was stocked with anything you could possibly need. The owner has been so responsive from the moment we rented and continued to answer questions while we were there! Very quick responses also. The deck….can’t even describe how fantastic it was! It was huge, plenty of seating and awesome views. All of us spent plenty of time on the deck, just relaxing, day and night….I always sat out there at night before turning in. The whole complex was very well thought out….fast elevators, efficient trash disposal, wonderful indoor and outdoor swimming pools….just a really great place! One of the guests played a guitar and entertained us with live music one evening! This condo made it hard to leave and site see…..would def stay here again! Thanks, Sandy, for making our vacation stressfree and wonderful!!!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Wilgus

Host profile image
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!
