We have rented this property for the 4th of July... Anyone know of the place and whether or not we will enjoy the area.. A little background.. We normally rent in Bama since we are from Louisiana but Katrina took that option away.. This will be our first rental in this area so we are just trying to get some info on theproperty and the area.. Thanks to all who reply

From an Alabama resident who has spent a fair amount of time in gulf shores - once you experience the beauty of the water and beaches in Walton County, you won't be going back to Orange Beach. Definitely worth the extra two hour drive. Better restaurants, better accommodations, better everything.

Enjoy!

Hmmm - I guess they shouldn't have let their virtual tour expire. :idontno:

It is right behind the Red Bar and has great views.


Wow, that house is in a GREAT spot. I would say that no matter where you were staying, JB would be right -- you will love it the beaches of South Walton and will want to keep coming back. But that house? There is almost no better location for a fun vacation and fantastic views. Enjoy!! And :welcome:

Great.. Thanks for the info... This trip is an annual trk for my family, Mom and Dad and 4 married siblings along with our children.. As mentioned we have always gone to Alabama because mom and dad wanted the quiet beach setting that was Dolphin Island... Now this meant we all had to take another vacation to Pensacola or to the Carribean but we could not pass up the family thing... Which leads to on last question..

You say the Red Bar is right behind us.. Is there a lot of noise and rowdiness?? Remember mom and dad,,,,,,,, well you get the picture...lol...

I think the Red Bar shuts down fairly early most nights (10 p.m.?). If you are sitting on the deck at the house, you probably won't hear anything but the surf.

Well, aren't you the lucky ones! Prime location at America's Most Beautiful Beach! Enjoy Blue Grass music at The Red Bar (right behind your house) on Sunday afternoon, Sunday evening and/or Monday evening. Hope you have a great time! 😀

We have the house rented for Memorial Day weekend. I've been to the Grayton area many times. You will not be disappointed. I will put up my thoughts on the house while we're there.

We've stayed in a small unit across the street from D&Ks, two blocks from the Red Bar. We would have some car noise at times heading but nothing else really. Our problems were always the 20+ people who would rent the huge homes who were underage. Since you are a multigenerational group you shouldn't be too rowdy🙂
Wonderful spot. Quiet beach. Fun for the kids. Fun for them to ride their bikes around Grayton without having to head out toward the bike trail. Small town America but with the beach.
Of course the whole area is wonderful. Parks, bike trail, restaurants, Seaside. Don't forget to check all the free community events - movies, music, plays, etc.
Counting down...June...

I love that house! I've always wanted to stay there, and IMHO, you will LOVE the location. Red Bar has great breakfast, lunch and dinner and the music is primo. I don't think your parents will be bothered though. Have a wonderful trip!!
