Studio with a Barefoot walk to Gulf Beach Free WiFi - 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 the elevated pool with a sliding glass patio door and a new air conditioner w/ heat. There is 1 QUEEN Bed that sleeps 2 and a Sleeper Sofa that could sleep 2. 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 (250 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.

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.

Great stay!
I booked this room for my best friend’s bachelorette weekend and it was just the perfect size for us two. It was just like the pictures and perfect location. The only thing I wish I had gotten was an outlet plug adaptor for our many charging cords, but that was a very minor detail. Overall, it was great for the price and glad my dates were available last minute. The Sugar Shack was a great plus! Thank you again for the great weekend!!

Not a barefoot walk to the beach!!!!!
The room itself was okay, but the balcony overlooked the parking garage and main road to come into the complex, so the traffic was very noisy all hours of the day and night. But what did it for me was the description of the unit titled "Barefoot walk to the beach." SO NOT TRUE!! Unless you want to walk from the second floor through a parking garage to get there also the place is very rundown and needs so many repairs, which isn't the condo owners fault but still very disappointing. So yes, the unit was clean and in a nice area, but I won't be going back to Sugar Beach ever again

The floor was filthy when we checked in! I could not find a mop to clean it so I used the bath towel and it was black afterwards. The pull out couch needs to be put in the dumpster, it was nothing but springs with a sheet on it. VERY UNUSABLE. A cracked mirror on the wall needs to be replaced. We will not stay here again!

Great place for a relaxing stay
My husband and I booked this for a short beach getaway to celebrate our anniversary. We found the property exactly as described by the owner. Bed was comfortable, everything was as pictured. We wanted to enjoy the local restaurants, so the small kitchen was not an issue. It was a quiet location - at least during this off-season. The ONLY suggestion I have for the owner is to make sure the cleaning crew is mopping the floor. It appeared clean on arrival. However, walking around barefoot, my soles got dirty. We had a great stay - cool temps, loved sitting and walking on the beach, quiet time on the balcony, TV at night. It was a lovely weekend!

My wife and I stayed over the weekend for our wedding Anniversary. I messed up when booking the room and booked it from Saturday until Monday when it should have been Friday- Sunday. Unfortunately it was booked up until Saturday but Mr Hand was so nice when I called to explain my mistake and offered several other options. We were able to have a wonderful Anniversary weekend and stay in a very clean,cool and convenient room. I will defiantly stay here again. Thank you Tom and we hope you had a wonderful hiking trip!

Great Beach Condo for your stay at Sugar Beach
Great condo at the Sugar Beach Condominiums complex. The condo itself was great, and the check in process was seamless. The only downside to the property itself was the lagging wait time for the elevator which ran slow and was the only elevator option.
