Amazing!
The condo is a cute studio with a queen bed and a futon. You are literally steps from the beach. We were at the beach the majority of the time. The condo being a studio was ok with us. We were usually only in the condo at night or to eat/nap during the day. If we had more of our family, it might have been a bit tight. My husband, myself and our 17 year old daughter, it was perfect.The ocean was beautiful! White sand beach! There were some big wave days and a small wave day. We were in the ocean every day. The day the waves were small, you could walk out so far and it was mid thigh for depth. There was a large sand bar you could walk along. The water was crystal clear and a beautiful turquoise. Reminder: apply sunscreen multiple times at the beach. The sun keeps cooking after you leave the beach. Ouch!There is a Sugar Shack with food to purchase. There is an ATM on the premises but it was out of order. There were 4 pools and a tennis court. Parking is tight but there were ample spaces available when we were there.The owners of the condo were quick to respond with any questions. She let us know about the codes to get into the condo enough time in advance. She was very kind and helpful. The security guards were very pleasant and helpful.We were glad to stay in Orange Beach. It is very family oriented area. Renting bikes at the state park down the street is a must do on your vacation. This was a great place to stay. We would stay there agin in a heartbeat!

Everything appeared as it was advertised. Amber kept up communication the whole time. We weren’t looking for amenities other than a bed and pool. This condo was perfect for our little stay during the softball tournament.

The unit was nicely updated and decorated. It was very small, but fine for a 5 night stay for my husband and me. Sugar Beach condo is an older complex that could definitely use some tlc- but the unit itself was nice for what we needed. Great price!

Super clean condo
Unfortunately we were only able to stay one night due to an issue with the shower. However, the host was VERY communicative and made sure to let us know where she was in the process of getting a plumber. We got there Saturday so there weren't a lot of options which is why we only stayed the one night. The condo was incredibly clean and perfect for my husband and I. It was well stocked with essentials and had everything we would have needed. The location is PERFECT. It is right on the beach and it's on the best side of the beach as well. We would definitely stay here again!

We just happened upon this listing and we were blown away with all aspects. It was within our budget, and surpassed our expectations as far as how clean the condo was, the communication from the host, location to the beach, and the entire complex as a whole. We loved staying here and will be back in the future, as well as sharing with our friends and family!

Great vacation
The condo was very nice and accessible to beach. Close to nice restaurants. The only issue I had was someone came 3 different times and banged on more door within hours apart.It did frighted me since at that time I was alone in room. Other than that it was quite. I want way down the road. You can slow down I was talking about.
