Know Before You Go
The Gulf Coast Is Worth Getting to Know
The Season Shapes the Trip
Spring and fall bring mild temps, smaller crowds, and calmer water. Summer is peak season for a reason, but it fills fast. Knowing when to come changes what you'll find when you get here.
There's More Than the Beach
Gulf Shores and Orange Beach have a full calendar: the Shrimp Festival in October, fishing tournaments, live music at The Wharf, and trails through Gulf State Park. The beach is the draw, but it's not the whole trip.
Fort Morgan and Perdido Key Are Worth the Drive
Both sit at the quieter ends of the coast. Fort Morgan has the historic fort and some of the most secluded beachfront on the Alabama coast. Perdido Key straddles the Florida line and stays less crowded year-round.

All I can say is, please keep this unit available for the next time we want to come to Orange Beach. The pictures do not do it justice. The location is perfect. I have stayed at many Airbnb's and this is by far the best we have had. The furniture is comfortable, and the beds are amazingly perfect. I also like to cook while we are on vacation, and I can tell you I had everything I needed to feel at home. If you need a break and need to unwind, this is the place for you!
