Great place!

We enjoyed our stay! Quiet neighborhood near anything you’d like to see in orange beach. Had to walk a ways to find grass for the pups to use, but that’s no fault of the property.

Spring Break family trip

This home was in a great location. It’s nice being located near the crosswalk for easy beach access. I also enjoyed the surrounding walking trails. The home had everything we needed for my family of 4. It was nice to be able to bring our doggie along.

By the beach

Great cozy little place to relax and enjoy what Orange Beach has to offer. Quiet and peaceful for a nice morning or evening walk. Love that my furry family was also welcome to enjoy the sweet little community. Will definitely be back and hope to take a dip in the pool next time.

First time at Orange Beach

We found this house very clean and had plenty of space for our family of three. The pool is just outside the front door and was never crowded during our stay. During mid-afternoon, the water feels like a hot tub and is far from refreshing, but hard to control that in July on the coast. For those that haul equipment down to the beach every day, a few notes...130 steps from the front door to the intersection of W Gate and Perdido Beach blvd. Perdido Beach is a pretty busy 4 lane rd, but the pedestrian push button at the intersection is incredibly fast and makes crossing very easy. From the intersection, it is an additional 230 steps to the beach. No stairs down to the sand. Very convenient and close. Sure was nicer than the flights of stairs we are used to on most of 30a. Golf carts are not allowed on Perdido Beach blvd, but are allowed throughout the neighborhood and you can cross over perdio beach and drive up to the beach. Wasn't worth it to us, but we did see several people with them. Plenty of activities to do in the area. We tried Southern Rose Dolphin Tours, kayaking with gulf shores bike rentals.com, and golfed at Gulf Links in Foley, AL. We enjoyed all and would recommend those. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and the house/location was great. We would definitely come back.

Stunning, comfortable and luxurious so close to the beach!

Loved staying here and highly recommend! The house had everything we needed for a winter beach getaway. Within minutes walk across the street you are at the beach. There are heaps of good restaurants and bars around and lots to do even during off-season. The house is inviting, tastefully decorated, clean and very well appointed. Plenty of beds for a family stay without being too large for a couple. Thank you for the wonderfully memorable stay at By the Beach!

Cute Space

We loved our stay here! It was just a short walk to the beach and we were very grateful to find a space for our dog even though the beaches are not dog friendly in Orange Beach. If you’re cold-natured like me, you might want to bring some extra blankets for the beds. Overall, I definitely recommend staying here!

As advertised - in a good way!

Such wonderful accommodations. Clean, new and modern. To allow a pet was even better. Great walking trail within 5 minutes towards the back of the property. If you cross the wooden bridge and take a right, you may even spot alligators (at a fenced-in area). Thanks for a great time.

Very clean. And close to the beach. They take dogs. But there is no grass for them to go on. Not a deal breaker. But just an FYI. We would come back again. Very nice place.

By the beach is excellent for family vacation

I was nervous renting across the street from the beach as the main road is very busy and we had a toddler with us but there is a crosswalk with a light. The light stops very quickly so no waiting around. It was very easy to get to the beach. The house was clean and well decorated. The mattress was very nice and soft for a rental. The kitchen had everything we needed during our stay. The pool was very close to the house and was well maintained. The community was lovely, quiet, and a great place to go on walk after a big seafood dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect

Very clean. Kitchen well stocked. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Great TVs. Nice shower. Liked that it was steps away from the crosswalk to bring us across the road to the beach. Dogs can't be on the beach, so we walked our dog on the miles of trails in the State Park. We found a footbridge in the back of the neighborhood that goes right onto the trails.

A little disappointed

The residence was clean but at the same time very "shop worn." Furniture was worn and soiled, streaks and smears on the walls, some of the appliances didn't work, lighting was faulty. A lot of small things that could easily be fixed and touched up.

Could be better

Home is located in a great area with access to beach, gulf shores national park and restaurants BUT the property management group is less than proactive and does not communicate/follow up on any concerns or questions. Home needs minor cosmetic help (paint front porch, replace broken dirty blinds on entry doors, replace the dirty pillows on couch) and the home needs a deep cleaning! It’s listed for sale and the owner should be told of its current condition as it isn’t helping the possible sale!

Roaches

First of all, I thought I was booking through VRBO. Then it took me to the Vassca website. So I booked through Vasca. I was not happy about this from the very beginning. I had heard bad things about them and read a lot of bad reviews about Vasca and I did not ever want to rent through them, but I did anyway after it redirected me to the vasa website. The first place we stayed was full of roaches and had to be moved to another place.. they put us on beach side, which was very nice. But the place was old dated and ran down. I could not even cook decent meal in the place without burning food in the nasty pans and pots that was in the place. So needless to say, I was not very happy with my stay. I did enjoy it because I’m that kind of person that I try to overlook the bad and find the Good. But the roaches I could not overlook

Great space, great location!!

This house was perfect for my family of 3 and our 3 dogs. We had plenty of space with the downstairs living area and the upstairs with the bedrooms. The kitchen had all the essentials for cooking. There are plenty of grocery stores near by from Walmart Super Center to Publix to their local grocery store Rouses. They provided shampoo, conditioner and soap for all bathrooms. And dishwashing pods and dish soap for the kitchen and dishwasher. As well as laundry detergent to use in the washer machine upstairs. Just great small details that add up. Plenty of towels and extra pillows and blankets if needed. The house is right across the street from the beach with it’s own access path to it’s own section of the beach. Super easy 5-10 minute walk. The location is perfect for being close to restaurants and shops in Orange Beach and not a far drive to the Gulf Shores area too! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!
