Fantastic Condo
The property was just as described. Nicely appointed, updated, and CLEAN. The location of the complex is very convenient to grocers, shops, and restaurants. Our host, Shirley, was fantastic. She was very communicative throughout the entirety of the process. She let us know early check-in was available for our arrival date. Shirley followed up with us the next morning to see if we made it in OK and if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend her and her property to anyone. I would stay here again!

Orange Beach stay @ Emerald Key
It is very beautiful and so very clean! You can smell how clean the condo is as soon as you walk through the door. The view is gorgeous and the balcony is as clean as the inside! The owner is nice and quick to reply/ communicate with. This was my 3rd stay at the Emerald Key (which we love) & this condo described with one word, excellent!!!

A Dream Stay at Shirley's Vrbo!
We had an incredible stay at this Vrbo rental! The pictures truly didn't do justice to the breathtaking views of the Gulf. The place was immaculate and had everything we needed for cooking, making our stay comfortable and convenient. The proximity to shopping was a bonus. Shirley, the host, was an absolute dream to work with – responsive, accommodating, and attentive to our needs. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway by the beach!

A Great Week
Very nice place to stay. It's is exactly as pictured and was exactly as decribed. Very nicely decorated (loved all the art) and the view was spectacular! It's a smaller condo which was nice (elevator & pool was never crowded). Easy beach access. Being on the end with a corner balcony made for fabulous views. Shirley was great to work with, even gave us a great suggestion for a really nice dinner Biirthday dinner! Can't wait to go back!!

Beautiful condo and can’t beat the view
Condo is beautiful and clean. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The view is incredible and stores and restaurants are all so close. Because it was a heat advisory every day, my daughters room (blue bedroom) was warmer than the other bedrooms. We did use the bigger fan in that room in the evening. Would recommend and stay again in the future.

This property was stunning! Upon walking in you have a gorgeous view of the ocean and beach! There is a larger balcony as well. The cleanliness of the condo was wonderful. I didn’t feel at all like I was staying in a rental. I was as relaxed as if I were in my own home!

Fantastic!!!
Beautiful, spotless, and well appointed property with awesome view of beach and gulf! Great location, easy parking, and due to smaller size of building the beach area was easily accessible and not crowded….even for Memorial Day week. Owner was very responsive and made reservation, check-in and check out process so easy. Property is conveniently located in Orange Beach which made travel around town a breeze. Our family has vacationed in Orange Beach for 20+ years and this was one of the best ever!

Practically perfect in every way!
I can’t say enough about Shirley and her property! It sparkles! She has done such a lovely job—and kudos to her son and his art work! So many interesting pieces to see. We were 2 adults and 2 teens. The condo is a great size. Additionally, the kitchen is one of the best appointed we’ve ever stayed in. The view is unbeatable, the location is fabulous, and it being a smaller complex helps the beach not be so crowded. We saw dolphins from the balcony everyday! We had an amazing stay!

About the host

Why they chose this property

Orange Beach is a fabulous vacation destination and Emerald Key's location is what sold me....3 shopping centers right across the street make it so easy and convenient to shop for everything you need. I love the fact that Emerald Key is a low density building. There are only 18 condos in the whole building which means our pool and beach don't get over crowded.

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of renting this condo is the fact that I am personally at the condo, along with my housekeepers, on Saturday ensuring that it is as clean and tidy as I would like to find a vacation home I had rented. Of course the beautiful artwork and the fabulous balcony views are a definite plus.
