Studio - A Barefoot Walk To Gulf Beach-Free Wifi QUEEN - Keyless Entry

Sugar Beach Condominiums 23044 Perdido Beach Blvd, Orange Beach, AL

NO SMOKING IN THIS CONDO

CONDO DETAILS: This Studio Bedroom has all tile floor and balcony w/ table and (2) chairs overlooking side view of Gulf of Mexico with a sliding glass patio door and a new air conditioner w/ heat. There is 1 QUEEN Murphy Bed and a couch that could sleep one child or teenager. There is also a Roll A Way Bed for a smaller (less than 6' person). Flat screen TV w/ remote, cable, ceiling fan, closet for hanging storage, chest of drawers, washer and dryer and 1 bathroom with bath sets, linens and towels provided as well as 2 rolls of toilet paper. The total unit size is 13' x 26'.

The kitchen has an electric stove, refrigerator, freezer, stainless steel double sink, microwave oven, and coffee maker. Plates, bowls, drinking glasses and silverware for FOUR people are provided. There is a photo on this site that shows what cooking utensils are provided in the condo. If you plan on preparing meals that require additional equipment, please bring whatever cookware you will need.

Located on 2nd floor of 3 story concrete building, the condo building is gulf side of highway, but my condo is not gulf front. The Gulf of Mexico and the beautiful beach are a (110 paces) barefoot walk away. Key less entry assisted close door - - luggage carts located near elevators.

NO PETS are allowed, as per Sugar Beach Condominium Association Rules.

NO SMOKING IN THIS CONDO

PARKING: Parking is an additional $35. per vehicle, per stay. (This is a one-time charge, NOT PER DAY). The $35 is payable at the gate to the Security Guard on duty using cash or credit. Parking is NOT INCLUDED in my quote.

HOUSEKEEPING FEE: In your quote there will be a one-time cleanup fee of $95.00.

UNIQUE BENEFITS: One of the few condos on the beach with a Snack Bar that has decent food, beach items, and serves alcohol. (Open during warmer / seasonal months). There are 3 large outdoor pools, 1 kiddie pool, grilling and picnic areas, tennis courts, and onsite covered parking.

WHY THIS PROPERTY: This is a well-kept and maintained property. Before buying this condo, I visited the property in the busy season to see what the guests were like. Very family oriented and friendly. Great location! Sugar Beach is in the western area of Orange Beach, right on the area’s famous white-sand beaches down from Gulf State Park. Only a 4-minute walk to Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail & Rosemary Dunes Trailhead, great for hiking or bike riding. Trail entry and exit is across the street from the condo between Planet Smoothie and the Dippin’ Dots Ice cream shop. Both perfect finish lines for that beautiful hike or bike ride through the park. More excitement is only a 4-minute ride away at Adventure Island where you will find family fun with mini golf, an erupting volcano replica, go karts, bumper boats, lazer tag, and an arcade. If looking for a delicious dressy casual brunch, lunch, or dinner, the Pier House is only a 1-minute drive to the west. They offer fine cuisine for dine in, carry out, or delivery. For a local seafood joint adorned with dollar bills serving up crab cakes, po' boys & cocktails, The Flying Harpoon 2 is only a 1-minute drive to the east. Within a 2-minute drive you also have Wolf Bay Lodge Restaurant, Ruby Slipper Café, Doc’s Seafood and Steaks, and Live Bait Restaurant.

OFF SEASON RENTERS: If you love an ultra-quiet beach stay, the off-season months here at Sugar Beach are perfect for you. The beautiful white sandy beaches are clear and void of many people. The kids are back in school and time at the beach seams to significantly slow down. No rushing traffic, no waiting at restaurants, just a warm cup of coffee from Southern Grind across the street and your bare feet relaxing in the sand. Although our guests and families are very nice and friendly, this is prime time for those who are simply not so fond of crowds. Off season is considered “winter months” but let’s face it, our winter months are cooler but mostly still warm enough to get in the water and lay in the sun. Perfect time to enjoy a full day at the beach without having a heat stroke. It is a great time for those “adult only” getaways or those quick family weekend trips for locals with a short drive.

Gulf State Park and hiking trails are open all year round.

Adventure Island is open all year round but will be closed 2 days a week (Mon. and Tues.) during off-season months (November – March)

Snack Shack at Sugar Beach is closed October – April. But the local eateries within a few minutes’ drive are all still open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

SUGAR BEACH CONDOMINIUMS is an elevated building with parking underneath. This condo is located on 1st floor of the 3-story concrete building on the Gulf (South) side of highway, but it is not Gulf front and does not have a Gulf View. If you use the stairs to the condo, they are directly across the hall from the condo. The Gulf of Mexico with its beautiful beach is only a barefoot walk away.

OTHER UNIQUE CONDOS: If you prefer something slightly larger and would like a full kitchen to cook your vacation meals, I suggest one of my other condos in Sugar Beach. The listings are 761885, 590015 and 553930. Please take note and type the numbers in the VRBO search bar to easily find and view them.

HOUSEKEEPING FEE: In your quote there will be a one-time cleanup fee of $95.00.

Check-in time is 4:00pm and check-out time is 10:00am.

ACCESS INFORMATION: Your individual lock access code, needed to enter the condo will be sent several times to the email address you provided to VRBO. These emails will be sent beginning one week before your stay. You will receive the email from: "noreply@remotelock.com" with the subject line that reads: "Sugar Beach Access Instructions".

If you have not received the access information email within five days of your arrival, please check your spam and/or junk folder. If you cannot find it there, please let me know so I can send it to you via some other avenue of communication. Please check your spam folder first, and then call me at 251-423-6500 to let me know you have not received your condo access information.

Entry combination is only valid after 4:00 pm on day of check-in and will work until 10:00 am day of check-out.

NO EARLY CHECK IN OR EXTENSIONS WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL FROM MANAGEMENT.

10:00AM is the check-out time on the ending day of your stay. EXAMPLE: IF THE AGREED CHECK OUT DATE IS THE 15th, YOU NEED TO VACATE THE PROPERTY ON THE 15th BY 10:00AM CENTRAL TIME.

CHECK-OUT POLICY: I'm sorry to have to put this on my page, but unfortunately, not everyone follows the rules: On day of check out, 10:00AM is the time all your property and possessions are to be removed from the condominium. If for whatever reason your property and possessions are not completely removed from the condominium, they will be removed and stored at a location off premises at the direction of management. A $100.00 fee payable in CASH will be charged for the redemption of your property and possessions at the convenience of the management or assignee of management. Management will not be responsible for any property and possessions that may be missing, lost, stolen or broken in the lot of property and possessions that are involved in the removal, transit, or storage of said property and possessions.

WEATHER CANCELLATION: Only if there is a "Named" storm, (Example: Hurricane Piña or Tropical Storm Colada) that is forecast to make landfall, not the forecast window models, during your stay or 72 hours prior to your stay, within 100 miles of Orange Beach, AL, cancellations are accepted.

DAMAGE DEPOSIT is refunded back to the payment method used to pay for the condo rental approximately (2) two weeks after checkout, PROVIDED there has not been any smoking in the condo or other damage that is not considered normal wear and tear. If there has been damage or smoking in condo, it will be documented and cleanup for smoking is an additional $150.00. I'm not looking to profit from this at all, but there have been several instances of people smoking in my condos without regard for my condo or future non-smoking guests and just "asking politely" has not worked. If a light bulb burns out, no problem. If there are urine stains or urine-soaked bed, problem. If there are holes in the sheetrock, problem.

Did I mention NO SMOKING IN THIS CONDO?
I know I’m a little repetitive with the no smoking, thing, but this is a no smoking condo and I’m trying to look out for the guests that do not smoke. I want to make it clear, there is an additional $150.00 cleanup fee for smoking in this condo.

Cozy beach get away
This condo was exactly what my husband and I were looking for! It was small and cozy, but also extremely comfortable. It was right off the elevator and easy to get to. We left our chairs on the beach and made our way down there several times a day. The bed was also super comfortable! The highlight for us was that we could literally walk barefoot to the beach from the condo.

This condo is cute, clean and perfect for 2 or 3 adults. The host has an entire binder with local information and even menus from several restaurants. We found this helpful when trying to decide where to have dinner. Would highly recommend this unit!

Amazing location
Absolutely perfect location for a week stay on the beach. Very short walk and you are right on the beach. The condo is also very quiet. Can not hear neighbors at all. The condo itself was lackluster. There are no beach supplies, so plan to bring your own or buy them. Very minimal supplies in general in the condo. The bedding is comparable to a hospital bed quality. Expected better quality, but we were able to greatly enjoy our stay due to direct beach access.

Loved location of condo. Short walk to the beach. Loved the underground parking. When we got to condo we had no washcloths and only 1 hand towel so we texted property manager and he said he would have housekeeping bring washclothes next morning but never came! We went to dollar general and bought some. We would definitely book this condo again.

needed updating
I think a little updating will help alot. Bedspread was old and washed out. A spot of something chocolate or something else was on one of the decorator pillows. But if that is all it was I can live with it. Everything else was good. Communication was great with the property manager and he was easy to get ahold of.

The property was a bit dated but they were working on upgrades during my visit in certain areas. Otherwise the unit was fresh and clean. View was nice partial view of gulf. Short walk to beach from unit. No issues with parking. Enjoyed the security person nice fellow and helpful. The people l met during my stay were friendly. Not too far from any attractions, food, and shopping.

Studio in sugar beach
This condo was extremely dirty. The dirtiest I have ever stayed in and we have stayed in a lot. I don’t think anyone has mopped the floor in many stays. If I had a mop I would have done it myself. I can not wait to get home and take a shower. This is really my only complaint. The building is old and seems more like an institution then a condo environment. It was very close to the water which is nice but if you value cleanliness I would move on to the next.
