Posted on 5/31/2026 ### (5/5 stars) We would stay again! We've stayed at Castaways (other units) for years & were excited to check this unit out! The staff who assisted us through the booking process were amazing! They quickly answered questions & kept us feeling confident in the process. We did find that the unit was not very clean when we arrived (grimy/gritty floor where sand hadn't been cleaned, showers were dirty, etc.). The property managers sent someone over the day after check in & they did a thorough cleaning. Also-the toaster didn't work & they had a brand new one delivered very quickly. The customer service & ability to reach out conveniently via text was GREAT! We can overlook the problems when they are addressed quickly & kindly-& these were!! A few notes: the chair in the living room is NOT comfortable. Once you sit in it, you feel like you're being pushed forward. It didn't allow you to lean back & relax. The couch in the images is not the one that is there now. The current one is bigger than a loveseat, smaller than a sofa. We couldn't really sit as a family in the living room with the furniture that is there now. The showers are very aged/yellowed & the ceiling above them is cracked & needs repair-but it was all functional. Also, the dryer required 2 cycles to dry even a small load. The sliding door track (door over slides) & threshold (not secure) needs addressed also. Even w/ those things, we would stay again!! Service/facility was great!! - Becca M. Posted on 8/1/2025 ### (5/5 stars) - Melinda T. Posted on 7/13/2025 ### Girls weekend (5/5 stars) Perfect property for a weekend in Orange Beach. Convenient location, easy room layout. Would stay here again. - Rachel P. Posted on 5/16/2025 ### Great location (5/5 stars) Great location. Communication with property manager was excellent . Quiet. Located right in the beach. Would stay again. - Tracy F. Posted on 4/29/2025 ### Great location! (5/5 stars) It was a little outdated but perfect location and size! Kitchen was well equipped. - Ronni T. Posted on 10/21/2024 ### Easy to beach and parking lot (5/5 stars) This is an older property in general but this condo has been updated and is open and spacious. Beds are memory foam and comfortable as well as pillows. We had some maintenance issues that were addressed promptly (though not sure why 3 of the sinks did not drain upon arrival). The rental company brought extra hangars since the master only came with one. Patio furniture could use an upgrade. Chairs are pretty uncomfortable (Made of PVC piping) and sit very low to the table. My sister's unit on floor 8 provided beach chairs and umbrella. This unit provides nothing, so we brought our own and used them for the patio as well. For a week's stay, they do not provide enough toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher pods, or washer pods, so pack some extra to avoid a trip to the dollar store. This unit did not even have salt and pepper, let alone any basic spices or anything, though it did have plenty of coffee filters. :=) The biggest advantage to this unit is that you can easily access the beach and the parking lot with only one flight of stairs. The elevator in the building is very slow and on the first floor, we couldn't even get it to stop at all, so we had to go to ground floor and call the elevator to visit my sister on the 8th floor. Parking is very very tight, especially when people park large vehicles in compact spaces and can't park in between the lines. With that said, while frustrating, it is usually doable with a bit of finesse but leave extra time coming & going. - Lisa G. Posted on 7/25/2024 ### A Time Was Had! (5/5 stars) We had the most amazing time here! Age ranges from 55 to under 1 and I think each one of us had just as much fun as the other as there was space and activities for all of us! In walking distance to so much! Easy process and we hope to be back sooner than later! - Ash G. Posted on 7/8/2024 ### Perfect Place (5/5 stars) This was the perfect size and location for our group of 7 adults with 2 wheelchairs. - Cindy B. Posted on 5/28/2024 ### Great Location (5/5 stars) Quick walk to the Hangout! - Tracie F. Posted on 5/10/2024 ### Week for spring break (5/5 stars) This property was amazingly beautiful and clean. Had everything we needed for the stay. Balcony right over the outdoor pool which made it nice to watch my kiddos while they were swimming and the ocean view and short distance to the beach was excellent. - Connie P. Posted on 4/8/2024 ### (5/5 stars) Parking, someone dented my car; the spaces are too small, have to compete for parking; this would be the reason not to book again; the condo was great - Mary Posted on 6/26/2023 ### Great condo in a great location! (5/5 stars) This is our 3rd spring break in Gulf Shores. We usually stay next door but decided to stay at Castaways this year. We had a first floor condo so we utilized the stairs. Condo was well furnished! Every thing we needed for our stay. I was very surprised the refrigerator had an ice maker! Great addition! My only complaint was there parking lot. The spaces are too narrow. Luckily it’s a small complex and we made it work. Will definitely consider this for next year. - Jena R. Posted on 3/22/2023 ### A wonderful stay (5/5 stars) Very clean and love that it’s on the first floor right by the beach. - Reggie S. Posted on 11/10/2022 ### Would stay again. (5/5 stars) It was great stay. I would only recommend replacing skillets in kitchen. They are trash. - Jason C. Posted on 10/9/2022 ### Our family had an awesome vacation!!! (5/5 stars) The unit was updated and clean. Great location!!! Being on the first floor was very convenient. We had the pool right below us and the ocean right in front of us. Older building and parking was tight but we had no issues. We would definitely come back !!!!! - Kim H. Posted on 8/7/2022 ### Great stay (5/5 stars) Really enjoyed staying here! Great location with surrounding restaurants, ease of getting to beach, and lots of room! - Noah J. Posted on 6/8/2022 ### Excellent stay (5/5 stars) The condo was exactly as described with great beach access. Condo was clean and comfortable. My husband and son enjoyed playing chess during the light rain one morning. No issues what so ever. Property manager was very helpful as well. Enjoyed the leave one take one beach toy area. Chair rental on the beach if you don’t have chairs. Will stay here again! Washer & dryers were a plus. - Shawna L. Posted on 4/20/2022 ### We enjoyed our stay an loved the location. (5/5 stars) It was great and easily done. - Brandi B. Posted on 3/25/2022 ### We stayed Monday-Friday. (5/5 stars) We stayed Monday-Friday. The condo was very clean and inviting. Comfortable beds and plenty of sitting room for the whole family! Beautiful views of the gulf from the private balcony. - Amanda Newcomb Posted on 7/30/2021
