The accommodations were impeccable and the check-in process was flawless. This made for a very enjoyable stay. Will definitely stay here again in future trips to Orange Beach.
This was an amazing place. The view was beautiful. Very clean facilities and well stocked. Would love to stay again. Thank you for sharing your property.
This was our 2nd time to stay in this condo. Both times we found it to be clean, fully stocked, and beautifully decorated. There was no wait for the elevator and the beach outside was not as crowded as some we have been to. It is across the street from grocery stores and good restaurants. Very convenient. We have come to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach for about 15 years and this is our favorite place to stay.
Second year in this beautiful condo. Can’t beat the location, private parking and the view. Easy access to the beach and many great restaurants. Can’t beat Orange Beach in February - no crowds and everyone is so friendly.

Loved the property and location
The property and location were great, had a not great experience checking in. I’m sure it was just a miscommunication but it made the checkin stressful. Was supposed to have gotten an email about checking in that I never received, ended up having to call multiple people multiple times to finally get an answer, the office to get the key said it was open but was closed and no one on the property could help. Finally got a phone call back about where to locate the key and was told I should have gotten an email, but I didn’t. Like I said I’m sure it was all just a miscommunication but at the end of the day it made the start of stay rocky.
The property itself was as advertised. We enjoyed our stay very much. The beach was crowded, but it was "less crowded" for us because the building was smaller and didn't have too many units. Most annoying thing is all the empty umbrellas and chairs crowding the beach and blocking views. They should just put them up when they are purchased/rented. This obviously isn't the owner's fault, but as a guest would want to know this kind of info.
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. It has the best location close to a lot of eating places, groceries and other activities. We like this location because it is small and the beach is not crowded.
We had an awesome time at Orange Beach. Our room was excellent beach front property. Very clean and the views were great. The balcony on the side for one of the guest rooms was a nice bonus. We will definitely stay there again.
We certainly enjoyed our stay! Nice to have kitchen, washer & dryer use. TV’s were great also. If I could say one thing that would make it nice is after you get your keys be able to get into unit. Pick up keys 3-5 but not to get in till 4pm. Ms Lynn was so helpful though to get us in.
We loved our stay at the Emerald Key and especially unit 603. It was exactly as advertised and was even more equipped than we expected. The pool was a little small but etiquette for the amount of units in the condo and the beach access was a very short walk. We really enjoyed the location as you can walk and get anything you might have forgotten to bring. We tried to book it again for next year while we were still on our trip but it was already booked. Would highly recommend.
A lovely accommodation. Not quite as spacious as it might appear in the photos, but comfortable for 4 adults. The balcony is perfect for relaxing., but there was construction going on next door.. Our week-long stay was, regretably, cut short by storm weather from Hurricane Ida, but the property managers were gracious in working with us.
The kitchen is well-supplied, but plan to buy/bring extra TP, dishwashing liquid and dishwasher pods if staying for more than a few days. Two grocery stores are conveniently located jacross the road.
Excellent property,perfect location! There were 8 of us from 9 to 45, plenty of room, stocked well, beautifully decorated, we loved cooking dinner and looking out at the beautiful gulf! Peaceful evenings on the balcony watching the dolphins play and listening to waves … my family will never forget the memories this place Allowed us to make!
