We absolutely loved everything about this property. The location was perfect, the house was clean and peaceful, and Chuck was a fantastic host. It really doesn't get any better if you are looking for a home away from home. The kitchen is stocked with clean dishes/silverware/glasses everything you need to prepare a meal. There are some seasonings to get you started and a coffee maker and toaster. There were light snacks available. The bathrooms had extra items if you happen to leave anything. And the beds are super comfy.I can't express fully how relaxing our vacation was. We are a military family and felt safe the entire time. We plan to return and will definitely book here again.

We had a wonderful experience at Chuck and Vicki’s condo! The location is beautiful — just a short walk from one of our favorite Orange Beach restaurants, The Crab Trap, which we’ve visited time and again. The pool is just steps to the right of the condo, beach access is very close, and parking was incredibly convenient. Communication before, during, and after our stay was clear and seamless, and we were even greeted with a personal thank-you note upon arrival. It’s those small details that truly set a host apart.The condo itself was immaculate and stocked with so many thoughtful touches: a coffee bar, games, towel racks for wet swimsuits, a wagon, beach towels, and beach chairs. The beds were clean and comfortable, and the bathrooms were spotless and well-maintained.But the crown jewel? A stunning lake-view balcony with chaise loungers and gorgeous views — plus a second balcony off the bedrooms. The bathroom amenities, plush bathrobe, and slippers were the ultimate finishing touch.You simply cannot go wrong staying with Chuck and Vicki. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time. Our group enjoyed the relaxed yet calming atmosphere, beautiful scenery and friendly people. The beach is a short walk across the way and the provided accessories made it super easy to navigate. The large deck was perfect for morning coffee and drinks in the evening while taking in the sunset. The app made it super easy to look up information and helped us plan accordingly. Loved our stay! Thank you so much.
