About this house rental
Only minutes to the beach, this one level single family home is right in the middle of everything. Located in Orange Beach, within a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful community pool, and just a mile from the Orange Beach Sportsplex and 5 minutes from the Recreational Center. There is loads of fun right around every corner.
The Barracuda house is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath coastal retreat with a cozy open floor plan so you won't miss a thing. The Master Suite has a comfortable king size bed with a master bath. The full bath has a soaking tub, separate shower and a large walk in closet for your storage needs. The second bedroom has two full size beds with a bathroom in-between it and the third bedroom with a luxurious queen size bed and lots of space, both bedrooms include a large closet. The fourth bedroom has two sets of bunk beds, equalling 4 twin beds and a media center with a flat screen TV and a DVD/VHS player with plenty of movies to choose from. If this still isn't enough sleeping space there is a full size pull out sofa in the living room, sleeping a total of 14 people.
Through the double doors in the living room you will find a covered screened in porch furnished with seating and a tall table to gather around, it also includes a grill for barbecuing. Above hangs a fan to help cool down on those hot summer days. This is the perfect place to relax with a beverage or watch the kids run around in the privately fenced in and landscaped back yard.
In the dining area you will find a table that will accommodate 4 or the fold down leaf will lengthen the table to seat 6, with the bar seating 2. With the dining room open to the kitchen and the living room you will never miss the game or the conversation.
The kitchen is stocked for those who would like to cook, it includes stainless steel appliances and lots of counter space to work. You also will find many small appliances, an in-door water and ice refrigerator, a Keurig coffee maker and a regular brewer for the coffee lovers.
In the living room you will find a large HD TV with "smart" capabilities and WiFi including apps such as Netflix, YouTube and Hulu among others. With a DVD player, a selection of DVD's and HD cable with DVR with lots of channels to choose from. There is two comfortable sofas with one that reclines for your comfort while watching a movie or taking a nap.
Off the kitchen is the laundry with a full size washer and dryer for your convenience.
For your entertainment at the Barracuda House we have a wonderful game room, with lots of games to choose from, including Pool, foosball, air hockey, cards and many more.
This home has just had a complete makeover and is ready to accommodate your family. It's a quiet cozy place right around the corner from lots of excitement.
Visit the Wharf with specialty boutiques and multiple delicious restaurants, it has something for everyone. You will find a variety of restaurants from coffee shops to fine dining, shopping, the Amphitheater, marina, movie theater, arcade, spa, the south's largest ferris wheel, light shows every night, Fireworks every Monday, zip line and Sharky's Adventure Park, and it is all only 5 minutes down the road.
If you are here and it's too cool for the water, there is a nice heated pool open 51 weeks out of the year at the Orange Beach Recreation Center just a few minutes away. There is a small fee that also includes use of the gym and the rest of the recreation center.
If you are looking to play a little golf, there is a course with a driving range across the street from the neighborhood with an excellent drive up or dine in diner and there is 3 other championship golf courses near by. If you are the outdoors type there is the Backcountry Trail with sightings of lots of wildlife daily, including a couple of alligators that are always hanging around, take your bicycles or rent some from Infinity Bicycles in Orange Beach. Follow the sidewalks down Lauder Lane to walk or ride over to the trails, a sand volleyball course, a giant playground pirate ship, a private pond or Orange Beach Sportsplex, all accessed from the neighborhood. There is also great fishing, the Gulf State Park is right behind the neighborhood including beautiful Lake Shelby to canoe on or fish.
If you are coming just for the beach, there is a great public beach (Cotton Bayou or Alabama Point) with food trucks during the summer, showers and large bathrooms only 2 miles away. There are many other beach access areas.
If you are into history you will enjoy the Indian Mounds on Dauphin Island, Fort Morgan with a Museum and Fort Gains with lots of Civil War history.
If the kids love animals you could take them to the Gulf Coast Zoo, Alligator Alley, Sea Lab (Estuarium), Bird Sanctuary, Bon-Secour National Wildlife Refuge or Gulf Breeze Zoo to feed lots of the animals including the giraffes.
For a great Fine Dining experience try Fishers Upstairs, Playa, Voyagers, Salt at SanRoc Cay, Cobalt, Louisiana Lagniappe, Big Fish, The Villagio or Perch, all within a 10-15 minute drive. For more laid back fare we recommend GT’s, Doc's Seafood, Cosmo's, Sea N Suds, LuLu's, Luna's, Big Mikes, The Southern Grind, Big Wave Daves, The Diner, Sunliner Diner, Picnic Beach, Anchor Bar and Grill, The Gulf, Tacky Jacks and Acme Oyster House.
If you are wanting to stay cool but need a change of scenery try Waterville USA a fun water park with other adventurous rides other than just the water slides and wave pool.
If your looking for a thrill or more food options take the family to OWA amusement park with over 21 rides or just visit the “small town feel” of Downtown OWA including shops and big name restaurants. They have nightly shows on the streets or visit Legends a theatre featuring some of the greatest tribute artist in concert.
If you still need more ideas of fun exciting experiences here is a small list to consider: Pensacola Naval Air Museum, Mobile Children's Exploreum, Mobile Battleship USS Alabama, day trip to (Foley Tanger Outlets, Gift Horse restaurant and Train Museum) or Fairhope for a beautiful small town feel.

We had a great experience! Checking in and out was such a smooth process. Owner has great communication.
10.0 / 10.0
The neighborhood was nice and quiet. We had the community pool pretty much to ourselves. We had a total of 14 people in our group and the house was big enough for us not to feel crammed. The property manager was amazing and dealt with the one tiny issue we had quickly. I would highly recommend this property!

The house was very spacious. Plenty of room for our family of 7. We have kids ranging from ages 2-14 and they all enjoyed the play room area. The kids loved the pool table, all though the one pocket was broken and the table was a little bit wobbly. The rooms very very spacious and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and appliances to use. The house stayed very cool which was a blessing considering it was about 100 outside! The neighborhood pool was small but nice. It was closed for a few days but the owners allowed us to use a pool to another property that was super close and much appreciated. House is located less than 10 mins from beach which we loved. And under an hour to Pensacola beach which was beautiful and highly recommended. Owners were very responsive and helpful. We had a great stay for our first visit to Alabama all the way from Pennsylvania! Thank you!

Location is great! Good neighborhood, close to the beach, Walmart, many local restaurants. Everything was right there close by. The place was clean, and everything was in order. The game room was connected to the bunk room. This was perfect for the kids. We stayed 6 days and 5 nights. 7 adults and 3 kids and were comfortable. The only thing that could have improved was the TV service was very limited, but we were constantly on the go, so not a big deal.

A group of ladies stayed here for a 'beach retreat'. We had a great time, and there were plenty of rooms and beds. We were able to cook most meals in the kitchen, and we were able to commute to the beach frequently. We also enjoyed the neighborhood pool, and we were close to the restaurants we went to when we wanted to eat out. Overall, the house was a great place to hang out. We even played pool and foosball. We felt safe in the neighborhood, and the house is in a family environment. Overall, we had a fabulous time there.

Our stay in this family oriented neighborhood was just what we was looking for. The house was amazing and a short distance to great restaurants, beaches and family outings. I couldn’t recommend it more. The house manager was very helpful and gracious. If there was anything to complain about, it would maybe be to add a dresser in the closet of the double bed room. With that said, it is definitely not a deal breaker and we would book this house again. As a matter of fact we have all already discussed booking our next trip in this house.
10.0 / 10.0
Everything was as promised and we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Will definitely stay there again.
10.0 / 10.0
This was a great place for our extended family to stay. There were five adults and five kids between 2-12 and even though the house wasn’t super large it was laid out well for people to be able to have their own space. There was sometimes a bottleneck with just two bathrooms, but we made it work!
We really appreciated being in a quieter neighborhood— it was nice to retreat to the house and the fenced in backyard after a day out and about at the beach. There weren’t a lot of beach items at the house but we used a rental service just down the road for chairs and toys and that worked well. It was also a bonus to be just a few blocks from the Gulf State Park trails!
We didn’t have any issues come up during our stay, and the hosts were easy to communicate with about check in and check out.
The kids are already asking if we can come back next year :-)

We absolutely loved our stay at this comfortable, large home at Orange Beach! It's a short walk from the Gulf State Park trails and a quick drive to the beach. There is plenty of room for guests and every kitchen amenity you might need. The rec room is a great place to hang out and we enjoyed evenings in the screened-in porch. Can't wait for our next visit!

We found the house perfect for our needs. It was located Central to the restaurants and beaches of Orange beach. Found the house completely stocked with all the essentials particularly liked the game room for spending a few hours.

Great home in quiet neighborhood with a very nice central location. The game is such a neat addition. Loved the fenced backyard for our 4 legged children. :)

We loved our stay. More than enough room for the 9 of us. Beautiful backyard. Very spacious inside. Large game room and living room for the whole family to congregate. Washer and dryer work great and save on packing. Only blocks from the main drag and 5 to 8 minutes from the beach depending on traffic and which beach you like better. Very nice screened patio area for sitting out. Easy to find. Good parking. We hope to return.

The home is very nice and the location is great. Very convenient to everything. Nicely decorated, roomy and the teens and fur babies loved it. We will definitely stay again and had a wonderful time.

Was large enough to accommodate us all, had enough towels plus extras, close enough to everything. Does need a few things replaced and said there were sheets in a closet for the pullout couch but the sheets were not there, but didn’t look any further since the beds were enough for our group. There is a weight limit for the bunk beds.

We loved this house for our vacation in Orange Beach. Our family had 5 people with age ranges from 44 to 75 and two small dogs and it was a perfect fit. We each had rooms. My mom didn’t have steps to climb with her bad knees. We could just open the door to a fenced in backyard for the dogs instead of riding an elevator. And we got to cook meals and play games as a family. The location was great because it was close to everything without having to be in the thick of the crowds. The decor is very cute and furniture was comfortable. The kitchen had every item that we needed for cooking and eating. The bathroom amenities bag and the packets of dish and laundry detergent were unexpected but very much appreciated. We enjoyed using the binder to find things to do and restaurants to check out. The only thing we were slightly less than impressed with was the cleaning service. They could stand to have a talking to. But we loved the house. It was perfect and if we ever come back to Orange Beach, we all agreed that we’d love to stay here again. Thanks again to the owners for letting us stay here. It was just what we needed and appreciate your help with our stay.

The house is said to be a mile to the beach it's a 10 min drive. The house was not clean there were cobwebs everywhere all the dished had a sticky film on them the beds were not made just blankets thrown on there. The house keeping was so poorly there was earrings on my side ta le on bedroom along with toys and other people's clothing left behind from prior people. The pool table is so un- level one side had 6 pieces of cardboard to try to level it with the 4th leg being completely different then the rest with 4 pieces under that leg, it was literally wobbling missing balls and taped pockets. All the darts ends were broke so you couldn't even use them. No TV in the bedrooms and I don't even know why there was wifi because it didn't work. Toilet seat was peeling. Definitely a one star if the game room was as seen and they deep cleaned I would give a 3 star but as of now it's a 1....

Perfect!!
My family and I were looking for a more private vacation. This home fit the bill perfectly. Location was spot on. Beautiful quiet neighborhood that was only a couple minutes feom anything you could want. The extra space proved invaluable when we recieved the 5 inches of rain in two days, but we all enjoyed the gameroom and the space to relax, read and do our own thing. The beach was only a 5 min drive and never an issue with parking. We will be back.

Hot and Humid
The property was in a nice and quite neighborhood. The cleaning service could have done a little better on the floors and the mattresses could use some updating but it is a nice and comfortable house with plenty of room to spare. Would definitely stay there again.

Misrepresented the pool. Community pool ad implies it's on the property. Wifi instructions very confusing and incorrect. Way over priced for the location. House is nice. Would not book it again.

Barracuda house was perfect!
The Barracusa house was perfect for our 3 families to stay in 1 place. We had 6 adults and 4 kids, ranging from 8 years to 8 months. The house had everything we needed and the fenced in backyard was perfect for the kids to run and play. We will most definitely be back!

Good location, quiet neighborhood, updates needed
Overall we had a pleasant stay. While we had a couple minor issues, Kristina accommodated us and was quick to reply. The kids loved the game room, though a couple things were amiss - some darts without tips and one corner of the air hockey table was broken off. That didn’t stop them from having fun. Some updates needed, but all rather insignificant (lightbulbs out, tear in screen on Sunporch door, etc). There were some paddle boards available for us to use at the beach, which was great! While the kitchen is fairly well stocked, it doesn’t have a 9x13 - a staple in our family. But we managed. We bought a cutting board and large santoku knife to leave there, as those were also lacking.
The location is nice, especially that it was quiet - not by the partyers down at the beach. Almost everything we needed was within 10 min. drive, and our other activities were all 20-60 min away.
Though 2 bathrooms didn’t feel like enough for 11 of us 😬 we enjoyed our stay, and would consider staying here again,
Thank you, Kristina!

Leaving the kids at home next time...lol
Our stay was enjoyable. The house was great. We locked the kids in the game room & they never really bothered us all week. Our budget was tight due to unforeseen circumstances (we bought a boat we weren't planning on) so Mama had to cook & prepare every.single.meal the whole week. Was able to manage fine with what was provided. I did need more dishsoap & rags to clean but I left the rags there. Our dishwasher had issues & a new one was installed the following day....that was pretty quick. Good property management in my opinion.
I always take a hair dryer & extra linens. There's plenty of towels but after staying at lots of rentals I think it's a common theme for any not to have many washrags. No big deal as I took 30 with me. They had 3 hair dryers there. I even took my own vacuum as our border collie sheds like crazy & there were 2 vacuums there. We found 4 Styrofoam boogie boards in the back. Some other beach toys...we left a few things too.
The neighborhood was great. We went to a yard sale next door & bought way too much...aerator...I mean come on...who goes 10 hours south & buys an aerator, lilly pad, & more. They were nice anyways. We walked the neighborhood at night & it is scary quiet. Never made it to the pool to swim.
Location wise, perfect. 10 pound bag of ice is $2.00 at the car wash easterly. Walmart might be 5-10. We went to Pensacola dog beach...that was awesome...sand dollars there. Went to Perdido twice, Cotton Bayou once, the OB Pavillion Beach & Fort Morgan twice for big shells. We usually stay at a friend's in Pensacola so this was our first time in Orange Beach. The house definitely met all of our needs. Ceramic tile throughout was easy to sweep up. 3 brooms in the house & what do you know...we had 3 kids. Boom!
I'm sure we'll want to try to stay at this house again. Our friend in Pensacola is probably thinking we're mooches so it's going to happen. I happened to have unexpected work unloaded on me for 3/7 days so I'm thinking after being stuck on the computer & cooking every dang meal Mama needs another trip like next week. Adulting is so tough I swear, but this house & area made my free 4 days worth every penny & memory.
Something to note: no traffic or crowds after Labor Day...it was freaking awesome!!!
