"Castle in the Sand East" located at 29182 Perdido Beach Blvd in Orange Beach AL.

(PLEASE NOTE WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR PAYMENT BY WIRE TRANSFER.)

Castle in the Sand East" is a stunning gulf front development that's located in one of the best locations along Alabama's Gulf Coast, in Orange Beach AL. This newer property features an East and West unit, and when both sides are rented, is one of the largest properties along Alabama’s Gulf Coast. Each side will accommodate 14-26 guests and is located in one of the best locations along the entire Gulf Coast. This home sits approximately half a mile West of the Florida/Alabama state line and one mile to the East of the Perdido Pass Bridge in the heart of Orange Beach.

Gulf-front splendor awaits at our unforgettable beach house in the heart of Orange Beach, featuring a pristine private pool and 9 opulent bedrooms. Rent only the east part of the property (this listing) and sleep up to 26 guests, or rent the nearly identical other half—Castle in the Sand West—to double your sleeping space. PLEASE note, there are louvered privacy walls between all balconies and a 9 ft privacy wall between the pool decks. You will have total privacy between the units. The dune walk to the beach is the only thing shared between the two properties.

Put together, the two wings create one of the largest beachfront properties on Alabama’s Gulf Coast! All located just half a mile from the Florida/Alabama state line and one mile from the Perdido Pass Bridge, in the beating heart of Orange Beach.

Beachfront is the best way to enjoy Orange Beach, and this home provides a prime spot directly on the Gulf, accessed via your own private boardwalk over the dunes. Sip your morning coffee before a stunning, panoramic view of the rolling Gulf. Lazy beach days lead seamlessly to dinner and drinks in the golden sunlight of evening. To the north, views of the Ole River add another perspective of Orange Beach’s abundant coastal beauty and diverse ecosystems.

With 5,000 sq. ft. of interior space and an additional 2,000 feet of private, covered decks and balconies just for this half of the property, our home will truly be your castle. Each half of the property is tucked away from the other, with privacy walls for all of the outdoor spaces.

Always a winner
We have stayed at this property 5 times now, with the first time being when it was first built. It is very well maintained and clean, never a disappointment. We are a very picky renter with a list of requirements for places we rent. One cannot go wrong with any of this owners' properties. We have also rented another of their properties, and it was the same quality. Castle in the Sands is well appointed with high end furnishings, comfortable and the layout is perfect. The deck has a lot of seating while enjoying the pool or watching the dolphins in the ocean. There is nothing better than renting a property that is oceanfront with private beach. It's one's own private piece of paradise while renting this home. The added benefit of this property is that the owners manage their rentals and live in the area. They check their rentals between stays and are quick responders throughout the entire process and stay. I have always dealt with Greg who is just amazing. Anyone renting this property, or another one, can do so with confidence.

Great Family Vacation
Had a fabulous time. There were 20 of us (my husband and I, our children and grandchildren). Plenty of room for all and kitchen area was extremely accommodating! Bedrooms were great and kids loved the shared bedroom with bunks! We paid a little extra to have the pool heated, but would recommend for the time of year we were there! Pool was great fun after a day on the beach! Location was great. Walking distance from Florabama and plenty of attractions for things to do! Would highly recommend this place if you have a large group! Our host was very easy to work with! When we thought we had a problem with the clothes dryer and called maintenance, they were there in fifteen minutes! Only to find out that we didn’t have the door shut tight! LOL! Again, would highly recommend and hope to return. Of note…this was our second stay in this house and looking to stay again sometime in the future!

Could not have asked for a more perfect place to spend a week with the family. CASTLE IN THE SAND- East was an amazing property that left our family of 17 with full hearts. The house was large enough to hold us all but also allowed for us to have plenty of “our own space”. I would highly recommend this house to others.

A wonderful experience at Castle In The Sand East
This is a very nice, well-kept property. The kitchen was well appointed with 2 fridges, 2 dishwashers and plenty of plates and utensils. We had a group of people and had plenty of space for all of us to spread out and have our own space. The biggest bonus for us was the short walk down the boardwalk to the beach. It was 1 minute to the sand. We spent many hours on the beautiful beach. The house is close to restaurants and grocery stores and the area is not overcrowded. It is just as described and is a great vacation home option.

Amazing house!
As family seems more precious now that my mom is no longer here since she passed away in June, my twin sister, and 3 cousins along with spouses and significant others and I decided to rent this awesome house. This house greatly exceeded all of our expectations. We only cooked twice while there, but the kitchen had everything you need which is rarely the case when renting. We loved that there were multiple appliances. We loved the privacy that this house provided. No crowds and noise to deal with. We are all kind of over staying in high rise condos that you have to wait on an elevator and steak out chairs at the pool and beach. This house was spectacular in every way and we are already making plans for a 2nd annual "cousins beach trip" for next year.
