BOATING LOVERS PARADISE! Enjoy our STUNNING 3 bed/3bath Orange Beach Bayou Condo

On the main floor you will find a Master Bedroom with a Queen sized bed, and generous closet storage with a full on-suite bathroom. You will also find a second bedroom which consists of a Queen sized bed, generous closet space, and a full guest hall-bathroom.

Perfect for large families, Sandy's Place will comfortably sleep 10+ guests. It hosts a washer and dryer for all of your laundry needs, as well as a brand-new, modern, Queen sized pull-out sleeper-sofa tucked away in the oversized L-shaped couch in the living room. Alongside the living room you will find an open floor plan that leads you into the dining area and fully-stocked kitchen consisting of freezer/fridge, microwave, dishwasher, oven/stove, toaster, coffee pot, and every extra gadget, pot, dish and utensil that will make your dine-in or cooking experience a complete ease.

Upstairs, you will find a beautifully decorated loft with two full-sized beds, an on-suite bath with toilet, shower and sink, and a storage area stocked with board games for the whole family, even on the rainiest of beach days.

The televisions within the house are all "Smart TVs" and offer basic cable along with all capabilities of connecting to your favorite streaming channels from home - Netfilx, Hulu, Disney+ etc. *If you have an account, you can access it and stream it* This home is also complete with full-house WIFI for connecting all of your devices while away.

This Cotton Bayou condo is a fisherman and boater's paradise, perfect for fishing, boating, water-skiing, paddle-boarding or relaxing in the shared pool. The complex hosts amenities such as an outdoor pool, tennis court, gazebo, BBQ area, fish cleaning station and boat slips available on a first come, first serve basis (25' max and proof of insurance must be submitted). The complex will charge $100 per 7-day boat pass, which must be purchased on-site.

Consisting of only 68 condos this is a low-density, quiet complex located directly across from the public beach access with its own private boat slips. This boat docking opportunity is few and far between, and one of the only within the area. It is truly a hidden gem for the most perfect beach/water get-a-way. Cotton Bayou is conveniently located in the Terry Cove area, which is in the middle of Orange Beach and the public beach access.

You have the best of both worlds: access to the bay and the beach. A short walk takes you to the beach as well as to world-renowned restaurants and bars, and also shopping. Just out the door is the breath-takingly beautiful bay, pool and tennis courts. Bring your boat or watch them go by, observe the ocean life and wildlife alike, take a dip in the water, or dig your toes in the sand. Catch a picturesque sunset over-looking the Bayou (yes they really are THAT beautiful!), or, if you're really lucky, spot dauphins catching the waves of passing boats. Whatever your desire, the gulf breezes are here waiting for you. Start your next Gulf Coast getaway with us at Sandy's Place and save your dates today!

Enjoyed our stay!
The place was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed staying there. It was just a short walk to the beach. I have a 3 year old son and was a little worried about the spiral staircase but he was fine on them. Would recommend to family and friends.

Great fishing
We had good time fishing from the docks and being able to go out fishing on our son’s boat that we were able to have at our convenience at the docks at condominiums. And if coarse the grandkids enjoyed the pool.

The stay was good. Communication was great. However, the stairs in the unit are ridiculous and dangerous. The need to be redone and updated. Also I rented three condos all at the same time in this complex and this is the only one that required extra paperwork. That was annoying. Overall, it worked for what we needed.

Family Vacation
We chose this condo because of the proximity to the beach, the pool and the fishing docks. It did not disappoint! You are right next to the pool. The beach is a 10 minute walk with easy crossing at a traffic light. Our son got engaged on the docks with a perfect background! The condo is perfect! Pictures don’t do it justice! You can use the pull out bed on the sofa and there’s room for someone to sleep on the couch next to it. It was nice to have the storage room downstairs for our beach and fishing gear. We highly recommend!

Our best stay yet
Our group consisted of 3 couples. We’ve been traveling to the gulf for 3 years together and this was our best stay yet. The place was clean, cozy, and roomy… just a great place. The couch is so cozy we fell asleep on it several times watching tv. The beds were great… nothing life changing… but perfectly suited for us. Kitchen was well prepared with everything we needed to cook. Location was excellent! It was easy to get in and out of the complex where the condo is located. We had 2 vehicles so no problems with parking and if we had 3 we would have been just fine. Parking was easy. And it’s right next to the pool. We used the grills one evening and they are located right next to the pool. If I was going to say anything “negative” about this place it would be that you have to carry your stuff down to use the grills… but that would be nit-picking. It really wasn’t a big deal. So no complaints here! If we make it back down next year, we’ll definitely be looking this place up! Thanks Samantha and Bradley! Really enjoyed it!

Great Condo, surprised by onsite construction
This was our first use of an Orange Beach condo, having stayed in the area previously within the Gulf State Park. This was a bit of a splurge for us as our planned stay at the State Park cabins was unavailable due to hurricane damage. This condo is comfortable, well-equipped and well-maintained. For unit-related interactions, our local condo manager Samantha was pleasant and responsive. For outdoor activities, the condo location is convenient to beaches and the trails of Gulf State Park. Unfortunately, there are no sidewalks along Perdido Beach Boulevard and no crosswalk or light at the Cotton Bayou trailhead, so we found it more pleasant to drive to any one of several access points rather than negotiate the traffic issues on foot. Our negatives relate to construction, so this may not impact future guests. On arrival, we were surprised to see the onset of construction to replace all windows and patio doors in all of the 11-12 buildings on the grounds. It would have been nice to know this in advance as this meant we would be living all 3 winter months inside an active construction zone. Not a deal breaker, just disappointing. We were assured that construction on the 8-unit building housing our condo would not occur until after we left. However, the schedule changed abruptly and workers started on our building and this unit in the last two weeks of our stay. We appreciate that our manager and owner responded by providing us the opportunity for a refunded early exit. With the construction, there were a lot of pot holes around the buildings as well as a very bumpy entrance point that hopefully will be improved in future.
