Condo towers along the beach in Orange Beach
Where to stay

Condos in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores

Most of the towers along Perdido Beach Boulevard are condos, rented out by their owners and by managers such as Brett/Robinson and Spectrum Resorts. The rules come from whoever rents you the unit: often 25 for singles, no pets, and cleaning and booking fees on top of the nightly rate.

Before you book

What renting a condo here involves

Each manager sets its own terms, and two units in the same tower can be rented by different companies. Read the house rules in the listing before you pay, especially if you're under 25 or bringing a pet.

For a few nights, a hotel is often simpler.

Before you pay

Check the unit, not just the complex

Each condo is owned and furnished separately, so two units in the same tower can be very different. Read the listing for these points:

  • Real beds, not just "sleeps 8". Count the bedrooms and see which beds are bunk beds or sofa beds.
  • Which tower and floor. Phoenix Gulf Towers has two towers with one check-in, and at The Beach Club the towers are directly on the beach while some cottages face the lake.
  • The pool access you get. At The Beach Club, club and indoor-pool access is included with Spectrum but can cost extra with other managers.
  • Parking passes. How many come with the unit and what an extra one costs.
  • The total. Rent, cleaning, booking fee, any resort fee and tax for your dates, and the renter's minimum age.

Get these answers in writing before you pay.
