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.

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.

    The room was good for what we needed. It was clean inside. The pool and beach are right there. Since we are not from the area, it would have been nice to know that the location is sort of right in the middle (about 5 miles each way) of two nice areas to visit, shop and dine. We didn’t have an opportunity to explore too much because we only had one full day and it poured for half of it.

    We had to pay an additional $25 for parking which wasn't a huge deal. The room was okay, nothing over the top. The issue I had came in after I departed the condo. I was told that I wasn't getting my full deposit back due to a toilet paper holder that was damaged beyond repair. I asked for pictures that were provided by the cleaning crew. The broken toilet paper holder had a roll of toilet paper on it when I left. The cleaning crew had clearly been working not only around the holder to put a trash bag in the trash can below it, but they also removed the roll of toilet paper that was left on there. Had we done anything to it, I wouldn't have a problem, but being shorted $50 of my deposit for something that isn't my fault is ridiculous. The owner showed zero regard for anything I had to say about the situation and stopped responding. I will not return.

    Had a wonderful stay at sugar beach condominiums! We got in later than anticipated, but check in was super easy with keyless access to the condo. Plenty of parking in the garage below! The studio was the perfect size for just my husband and myself. Definitely recommend if you’re wanting something with more amenities than a hotel but can’t justify a whole house for only two people! I never expect to have a comfortable bed when I’m away from home, but this bed was even comfier than my own! Access to the beach was close and convenient and even with the condo not necessarily having a “beach front” view, the view was still great! Also the location was wonderful with many stores, restaurants, and activities nearby. Not many sidewalks in the area though, so a car is definitely needed if you’re wanting to go out. Communicating with the host was pleasant. He’s very courteous and quick to respond!

    This was a first for us since 2013, it was a short weekend but the condo was perfect for us. Idk how well it would sleep more than that, its like a studio apartment. Very clean, kitchen fully stocked & a door code, not key which made entry easy. The bed was so comforting & relaxing bc it was so soft. We enjoyed, and will be back. Thanks Tom!!

    Nice unit for a couple of people. All appliances in good working order. Dehumidifier could be placed in another area as it's at the head of the bed and runs most of the day/night to keep the humidity at a reasonable level. Could use a couple of small bedside tables.

    This condo was very cute and perfect for a couple to stay in. The kitchen was well equipped with what we needed for two people. The bed was comfy and the couch was spacious and comfortable too. The condo came with the couch as an extra bed and then a rolling bed that would be ok for a child to sleep on. My only complaints are that the oven did not work and the owner of the condo did not let us know this before our stay. There was a small toaster oven we could have used if needed though. Thankfully we didn’t need to use the oven. Owner did tell us that he was replacing the oven/stove after our stay. The view from the balcony was good but because of the sun coming in it was too hot to sit outside in the morning. I would suggest to the owner to get some kind of blind to half shade the balcony where the chairs sit so it’s not so miserably hot. All in all we would stay here again because it was the perfect size and perfect for a couple getaway!

    Condo was decent but not great. I guess you get what you pay for. There was a lot of loud renovations going on that we were not warned of ahead of time. Once returning we received an additional charge for “discolored towels” according to the owner. He accused us of putting bleach on them. I do not travel with it a jug of bleach with me. My guess would be to check with the cleaning company but instead he gave was a vague description & charged my card. 0/10 on communication. I have rented with VRBO for YEARS and never had this happen. Would not stay again..

    Loved the condo! Clean, great amenities like washer/dryer, dehumidifier, dish washer, and a comfy memory foam mattress. Tom did a great job communicating. About the building itself, the concession stand seemed very popular, pools and pool decks clean, and not overrun with tourists during spring break. It’s near Gulf state park and it’s trails, as well as a delicious coffee spot (inside the hotel across the street). A major downside was that while we were there, there was lots of construction going on. There were people going up and down directly next to our balcony starting at 10am everyday :/. This means our ocean view was blocked. We were not informed of this upon booking or arrival. Also, parking is 35 (one time fee).

    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.
