About this property

Ashby House, Beachfront!!

The Ashby House is a one-of-a-kind historic beach house that brings back the nostalgia of what a true beach house should be. Having survived 9 hurricanes and rebuilt to the highest standards of safety and comfort. Ashby is exceptionally clean and maintained. First class throughout.

Situated in a prime location of Orange Beach a couple hundred feet from the Alabama State Park and across the street from the island's bike path. Ashby site on one of the largest gulf front lots with lots of security in Orange Beach.

Ashby is a private 1,450 square foot home with two private master suite bedrooms and baths. One opens onto the huge 350 foot screen porch overlooking the dunes and Gulf and the other has a private entrance from the front screened porch. Both bedrooms have pillow top mattresses one with a king and the other is a queen sized bed. There is a new double pullout sofa sleeper located in the TV room.

There is a weather protected discrete front screened porch adjacent to the kitchen with a breakfast table and 4 chairs. The open Trex deck is 400 sq ft with a gazebo, covered bar, a convenient enclosed changing room with bathroom and three lounge chairs. The trex screen porch has 8 colorful Adirondach chairs with complete convenience. Downstairs there is a covered picnic table and a screened in shady room with a Pawleys Island Hammock. Two outside showers, one privately enclosed and the other on the desk leading up the steps.

Ashby House has 3 large flat screen televisions, a Yamaha Surround Sound stereo system with Bose Speakers outside. A Remy-Halo constant air purification system with a new HVAC and dehumidifier. Free high speed wireless internet, Mediacom with HD channels, full sized washer/dryer, Hunter fans located in all rooms, a well equipped kitchen, 2 oversized recliners and a fabulous beach dining table that seats 8.

Decorated in timeless beach cottage decor, this home is truly unique as it shares the true comfort and long history on the beach as you would rarely find.
No smoking and no grilling is ever approved for safety concerns. STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Peaceful Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s was our eighth time staying in the Ashby House. It’s always been clean and very relaxing vacation. The only negative thing that we could possibly say about the place is that the recliners could stand to be replaced.

Ashby House Adventure

Ashby House was as described, nice property with a good location. It is located close to great dining and shopping. A short walk to the beach gets you a prime location with a mostly private beach. You are just down from the condos and just a few houses between you and the state park. Michael was our contactwiththe rental, he was outstanding with any and all questions we had. Will stay again if available

Amazing with a couple suggestions

The Property is wonderful. The weather is gorgeous. Groceries are inexpensive. Suggestions based on other experiences: More than 1 roll of toilet paper in each bath. A couple cheap beach towels and chairs would be huge.For people that fly in late at night, it would be great to have a porch light on to see to get in.

Outstanding Location!

I loved everything about my stay except it didn’t have any household essentials. Most places have a small amount of “basics” like salt/ pepper/ cooking oil/ beach towels. In fairness, it was clearly listed on the property details so I was able to plan accordingly, however that meant that I needed to add all of that to my travel bag.

Great stay/ vegetation overgrowth

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always love staying at this house! It embodies the beach nostalgia that I grew up in. However, we could hardly see the drive entrance due to the vegetation overgrowth and the house entrance was overgrown. The house could do with vegetation maintenance as my husband hit his head on a tree branch leading up the porch into the house. I understand keeping a natural habit however when it blocks the house entrance or encroaches on parking, it should be addressed. Overall the house is excellent and the location is perfect!!
