"Castle in the Sand West" Orange Beach AL-9 BDRM/9.5Bth Prvt Pool.Great Location
Castle in the Sand West is managed by Alabama Gulf Coast Vacation Rentals LLC, a boutique vacation rental company that specializes in gulf-front (4-24 bedroom) luxury vacation rentals along Alabama’s Gulf Coast.
Castle in the Sand West is a gulf-front home located in Orange Beach, AL. This home features a private pool on the south deck overlooking the gulf, a gas and charcoal grill, and over 5,000 sq. ft. of H&C plus another 2,000+ sq. ft. of covered porches and decks.
Castle in the Sand West is located at 29180 Perdido Beach Blvd in Orange Beach, AL.
(PLEASE NOTE: WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR PAYMENT BY WIRE TRANSFER.)
Castle in the Sand West is a stunning gulf-front development located in one of the best areas along Alabama's Gulf Coast, in Orange Beach, AL. This newer property features an East and West unit, and when both sides are rented, it is one of the largest properties along Alabama’s Gulf Coast. Each side can accommodate 14-26 guests and is situated 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 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 west side of the property (this listing) and sleep up to 26 guests, or rent the nearly identical other half—Castle in the Sand East—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 shared feature between the two properties.
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 while enjoying a stunning panoramic view of the rolling Gulf. Lazy beach days lead seamlessly to dinner and drinks in the golden sunlight of the evening. To the north, views of the Ole River add another perspective to Orange Beach’s abundant coastal beauty and diverse ecosystems.
With 5,000 sq. ft. of interior space and an additional 2,000 sq. ft. 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 outdoor spaces. Note also that your pool is NOT shared with the East unit—each half of the home has its own private pool oasis, heated to perfection.
