Step inside to find an open-concept layout that makes vacation living a breeze. The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and all the essentials for whipping up everything from a beach picnic to a seafood feast. Gather around the dining table to share stories or relax in the living room with a good movie. The covered balcony is the perfect place to sip your morning coffee while watching the waves or stargazing after a day of adventure.

The primary bedroom offers a king-size bed, private balcony access and an ensuite bathroom with double sinks. The second bedroom has a queen bed and its own small private balcony, while the third bedroom features two twin beds and access to the hallway bath. A washer and dryer add convenience during longer stays.

Just steps from your door, Emerald Key offers direct beach access, a gulf-front pool with a tranquil waterfall feature and a grilling area for guest use. A gated parking area adds peace of mind, and two parking spaces are included with your stay.

Great communication. Someone needs to make it clear that when you arrive to park outside of private parking lot and go to the room to get the clicker box for the gate. Absolutely love the view off the balcony.

Great Condo & Location

We had a great stay! The condo was spacious enough for our family of five and the location of the building was perfect. This property was quiet, clean, never a line at the elevator and just a few steps to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous location!

The pictures posted online don’t do this place justice! The boardwalk to get onto the beach is short and the pool was even bigger than it appears in the pictures. I was expecting a rather small condo based off of the pictures, but it was spacious enough for 6 adults and 1 infant. The balcony that wrapped around the side of the building was a favorite for everyone and we spent a lot of evenings sitting out there. It was also located almost directly across from a neighborhood Walmart and a Publix, so the location was perfect for running quick errands!

Amazing Beach Front Location

We had an amazing week at this condo. The condo is right on the beach, as advertised. We never had to fight for the elevator or beach space nor did we hear the neighbors. There is some construction going on next door but it didn't impact our ability to enjoy the week. We loved sitting on the patio watching the waves. The kitchen is well stocked and we fell in love with the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction maker. The unit shows a bit of ware from what I guess is probably years of renters, but overall it was great and I'd definitely go back. In fact, we fell in love with Orange Beach and will definitely be back!

Great getaway

I wanted to take my 74 year old mother on a vacation to make some precious memories. This place was easily accessible, great beach access and easy to park in. The location is amazing with everything right at your fingertips. We could not have asked for a better final week of summer!!
