Direct Beach Front
We are DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH! Our condo is one of the closest in Orange Beach to the water. Let the sound of the surf relax your mind as your eyes wander over the expansive gulf views. This is the third unit east of Perdido Pass (Alabama Point Bridge) which is next to a preserve. This is a low density complex and the pools are not on the beachside, which translates to 'quiet beachfront'.
This recently updated condo is perfect for a romantic get away, or a small family vacation. Enjoy the amenities such as a flat screen HDTV with cable, internet access and a view of the gulf while cooking dinner in the full kitchen!
******************************************************** 'The location could not be better. It's in the middle of everything.' -- Liz Hernandez, Violet, La. ********************************************************
Extensive Lei Lani amenities include beautiful quiet beach front, two outdoor pools, indoor beachfront heated pool, tennis court, outdoor grills and picnic areas, Old River access with boat dock, covered picnic areas, beachside bathroom and changing areas, beachfront chair, umbrella, water craft rentals, and more.
From the front door, your toes can hit the sand in under a minute!
The family friendly Lei Lani condo complex is one of the few developments on Perdido Key that is located both on the beach and Old River. This unit is located in the beachfront tower with private balcony and direct views of the Gulf of Mexico. The sunrise and sunset can both be seen and are unbelievably beautiful! See our photos to truly appreciate all the views from our unit.
******************************************************** 'In one day, my daughter and I went crabbing in Old River, tubing in Old River, played tennis, rented a chair and umbrella on the beach, went scuba diving and swam in the heated pool, - this place is terrific.' -- Joe Coyne, Medina, Minn. ********************************************************
Our 1 Bedroom comfortably sleeps two in the king size bed, and a queen sized sofa bed is in the living area which is best suited for children.
Ideally, this 1 bedroom 1.5 bath condo is most comfortably enjoyed by a couple or small family.
This 1 bedroom unit includes a full kitchen with all dining accessories, and all towels, linens, pillows, and blankets are provided.
******************************************************** 'I walked in the door to the condo, and simply said 'wow, this place is right next to heaven - the views are awesome!' - - Katie Maia, Denver, Colorado *********************************************************
In addition to the multiple on-site amenities of Lei Lani, and the luxurious accommodations of the unit, Orange Beach and Perdido Key is a vacation dream for you and your family.

Wasn't Cleaned, No Parking Passes, Otherwise Great Stay
We had issues from the very beginning of our stay that didn't relate to the construction we were aware of. Upon arrival, the unit wasn't cleaned- no sheets on beds, dirty linens in floor, no toilet paper, etc. I reached out to the hosts who answered my call immediately and stated they would try to find someone to come out to clean it but that it would be the next morning. We accepted a refund for the night as this was the only solution offered and planned for the cleaning service to come the next morning. We went to the store and bought the missing essentials including bedsheets, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies for the night.The next morning at 8 am the woman with the cleaning service arrived but I think it startled us all when she entered without a knock or call. She stated she had been told we were staying in a hotel and wouldn't return until 11am. I explained that we never mentioned a hotel and had just told the hosts we would make the condo work since we didn't have any other arrangements set up. She also said she had been willing to come the night before but had been told not to worry about it since we had already left for the hotel. Again, hotels were not discussed in the conversation with the host. I just asked her to go over the bathrooms as I had already cleaned.The second issue was lack of parking passes. There weren't any located in a drawer per instructions so we had to pay 50 (28 more than quoted in the listing).Otherwise, condo was great.

Disappointing Stay Due to Construction, Communication Issues, and Unmet Expectations
We booked this rental in October, excited for our stay, but unfortunately, it fell short due to several issues.1.Construction Issues: We discovered on our own, in December about construction. Inquired about const. but received no response until two weeks later. On December 29th, we were told the balcony was off-limits, impacting our vacation plans. 2.Pricing Confusion: The rental rate was initially quoted at 99 per night, but we were charged 99.75. New rental price was 75 during const. Asked for this price, informed we could cancel. We were unable to change our plans due to limited availability in the area.3.Parking Problems: The prepaid parking pass wasn’t available at check-in. We had to buy one for 100 in cash. Only reimbursed 50, from the 150 total paid.4.Condo Conditions: The condo was cramped with outdoor furniture moved into the living area, reducing space and comfort.5.Construction Impact on Windows/Doors: We couldn’t open the sliding door due to construction, and the windows were dirty, obstructing views of the Gulf. The entry door glass was also dirty, and construction debris was around the threshold.6.Host Communication: Poor response time. Sometimes none at all. Overall, this stay did not meet expectations due to poor communication, pricing issues, and maintenance and cleanliness problems. I would not recommend this property.

Great condo in a great location. Was made aware of the renovation going on and couldn't use balcony. I was okay with that for the price. Was staying 4 nights but had to leave after 2 due to jack hammers starting at 8 am and ending at 5 pm.noise was unbearable. Had to rent another condo for the remaining 2 nights. I would recommend this place after the renovation is completed.

Quick Getaway
My wife and I were looking small beachside condo for the weekend when we discovered this one. It’s located just down from Shell Beach which is one of our favorite destinations. The condo is just the right size for two, and affords a beautiful view of the beach. The only draw back is they are under major structural renovations. The property owner called and gave me a heads up offering to refund my money or give me a discount. We decided we would be outside during most of the daytime so chose to stay. As luck would have it, it poured all day Friday trapping us inside. The construction work started at 7:00 am and was at times quite loud. We got away for lunch and spent the rest of the day shopping. The contractors dogged off by 4:00 and were gone for the weekend. If you plan to stay during the week, while construction is going on, make sure you have plans to take you outside. As for us, we would definitely stay here again.

Too Short
We had a wonderful trip until it was cut short by construction work. We had a beautiful view for 3 days but scaffolding was erected across our balcony on the 4th day obscuring our view and causing a parade of workers outside our condo. Due to the constant construction noise and lack of privacy we left a day early. The condo was lovely and the beach was great. Wish we could have enjoyed our full time.

A relaxing vacation
Everything about this property is as advertised and we enjoyed our stay very much. I have no complaints to voice, however I do have a couple of suggestions for improvement. Consider replacing the coffee maker, it’s got some age on it. It works, but, could be updated. Also, curtains for the bedroom would help with the outdoor lights shining in. Again, not a huge issue, just something we noticed. Overall we enjoyed the convenience of being right on the beach, the walk down was an easy one. We loved the balcony in the mornings and the beautiful sunrises. Everything was comfortable, and well maintained. The beach service offered was fantastic and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this location. Thank you for a great vacation.

Other than the parking the condo was perfect. The beach is controlled by a company that rents umbrellas and chairs so the beach is an added expense if you want to sit near the ocean. But the condo is as advertised. The view is amazing and we had a wonderful vacation there. Yes we would book again.
