Penthouse 3BR Summer House - Stunning Private Balcony - Epic Views!

est. 2020

Sugarfoot Escape is our family’s name for our dream beach condo located in Phase II of Summer House on Romar Beach— a terrific location in Orange Beach, Alabama (AL).

With a wide private beach, fantastic amenities, and super convenient location, Summer House has been a top favorite destination for beach goers.

Unit 1502B checks all the boxes having an incredible private patio, exceptional unobstructed Gulf views, large bedrooms, and recent luxury updates.

We also love the fact that we are located on the top floor which removes the noise above and also means that when you call an elevator, it is likely showing up empty ready to go!

With a recent deep renovation and update including all new flooring, colors, furniture and appliances.

Sugarfoot Escape has 200MB/10MB dedicated high speed internet with solid reception inside and out on the patio. This also means that if you log into our updated televisions for some Netflix or Hulu, that you can actually watch your show! We have the Enhanced Dish package for all TVs providing live television channels and On Demand programming. The family room is equipped with a Bluetooth capable Dolby Digital Surround Sound System for your enjoyment with the Samsung 65" Smart TV.

In the kitchen, we've refreshed the cookware and utensils as well as a have installed new Stainless Steel KitchenAid appliances, including a French door fridge, well featured large convection oven, and a super quiet dishwasher. In addition, we installed a commercial grade Manitowoc 50# per day gourmet ice machine (new 2023). Our family cooks here, we have all the things a cook would require, stainless cookware, Pyrex, measuring tools, mixing bowls, spatulas, dicers, etc. This is not “common” for OBA rentals. This is our second home.

The master has a spectacular view, a comfy king size bed, and en suite updated bathroom with updated cabinets, granite, and frame-less glass. We just upgraded our furniture and mattress as well as new blackout window treatments to go along with our new sliding glass door!

Sugarfoot Escape has a second King bedroom that also just got a furniture, mattress, and decor update. There is a Samsung smart TV above the dresser.

There is a third large bedroom with 2 queen beds with a Samsung smart TV and a spare pre-wired HDMI for the gaming stations your kids will likely bring.

These two bedrooms are conveniently located on a connecting hallway to the second bathroom which is also updated with granite and frame-less glass.

Our unit is unique having a tankless hot water heater that keeps up with the shower queue before dinner (vs standard 30 gallon tank heaters) . We love our tankless hot water! We also have a dehumidifier installed in our AC closet which helps it be noticeably more comfortable.

Summer House is a convenient shuttle stop to get to places like FloraBama! With restaurants, grocery, convenience, and liquor stores right nearby, it is hard to beat this location. More importantly, the private beach access is on the BEST stretch of sand in Orange Beach.

NOTE: Summer House has a strict “2 Vehicle Max Per Unit” policy and must always display the Vehicle Registration certificate in the parking lot after arrival. You will pay for your $50 parking certificate(s) per vehicle at the guard shack when you enter the property.

Don’t want to mess with your own beach gear? Umbrellas and chairs are available to rent from Summer House right on the beach most of the prime beach days of the year (March - October).

So what are you waiting for?! Grab your beach towel and swim suit and come dip your feet in the sugar sands of one of the most beautiful beaches on the famous Emerald coast!

See you at the beach!

Excellent rental!

We had a great week at the condo. The place was very clean, everything has been updated/renovated recently. The kitchen is stocked with just about anything you could need. The owners even went out of their way when I got dates confused and though we had another day in the condo. They searched around and provided us with an alternative place to stay if we wanted to stay in the area an extra day. Will be renting this unit again in the future!!

Great owners = Great experience

The home is beautifully decorated, well stocked and in a prime location to groceries and food. Tankless hot water ensures you all can shower and the appliances are all brand new! But what makes this home special is the owners! Paul and Carrie care about your experience and bend over backwards to ensure all your needs are met! What more could a renter ask for? This property has it all and will remain on my favorite places to stay list!

Great Experience

Our family really had a great experience here. The location of the condo was great. We never drove more than 10 min to get anything we needed - food, fun, supplies. It was all right there. The beach was great. It was no more than a 5 min walk to the beach from the condo. The condo was clean and had a lot things that you would need. Paul and Carrie were really attentive with answering questions and send a recommendation list with everything you need to know. Most of the recommendations were spot on. We will definitely return to this place next year. I thought it was perfect.

An Amazing Week!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at SugarFoot. The condo is gorgeous. The colors were so calming and relaxing. We have a memory foam bed and I always get nervous on vacation wondering if I will sleep as good. The master bed was fantastic and I slept great all week! We loved everything about the property. I loved having a crock pot for easy meals in the condo on days we didn't eat out. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. I loved the top floor even though I'm afraid of heights! I inched my way to the balcony by the end of the week. We loved seeing dolphins, birds flying, planes, boats, and people watching. Orange Beach has captured our hearts and we will be back. Paul and Carrie are fantastic hosts and he gives great tips on the best places to eat and things to do! Thanks for a great week.

Amazing Condo

We left the cold and snowy northern climate and spent almost two months at the Sugarfoot condo. We couldn’t have asked for more. It is a beautifully decorated condo with a gourmet kitchen, comfortable beds and furniture. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the large private balcony gazing out at the Gulf of Mexico watching both the sunrises and sunsets. The white sandy beach was beautiful and we saw many dolphins swim by. It was paradise. A big thank you to the owners who were so nice and very easy to work with. We hope to return again next winter.

Love this place!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

If we could rate this beautiful home 100 stars we would have! My family and I enjoyed Sugarfoot Escape so much, it gives you that home away from home feeling. Carrie and Paul are absolutely the best!! We received a very detailed email with just about all the places they eat and shop in the area which was so helpful. Carrie also gave us the recommendation to have our anniversary dinner at Pier house and the place was great!! Every time we come to Orange beach we want to stay at Sugarfoot Escape, not only because it's beautiful but because Carrie & Paul makes the experience that much better!!!!!!

Orange Beach balcony view and more

The property was as described. All of the needs were met in the condo, supplies were great and the communication with owners was amazing. They were always quick to assist no matter what our need. View was amazing and plenty of room for our group. Parking for two cars and the security guard is very nice and helpful. Beach is clean and a lovely walk. I would have loved a hot tub aside the outdoor pool but zero complaints. We were close to everything we needed or wanted to do in the area. The condo is well planned with the two kings and two queens. It makes family stayed more accommodating for all Ages. Thanks for a womderful family vacation!

The condo, Sugarfoot Escape, was just perfect for us, beautifully decorated, cozy, comfortable, and spacious. The kitchen was very nice and well stocked with everything needed to make meals. Our view of the gulf was outstanding, we loved the huge balcony. We have to mention how comfortable the beds were giving us a great night's rest. The location right on the beach was so relaxing and fun. We were close to many restaurants and shopping venues. We want to give a huge shout out to our fantastic hosts, Paul and Carrie, they made our time at the gulf so delightful by sharing detailed information of area restaurants and activities, pointing us in the right direction.
