Loved our stay!!!

Wow! Perfect location right on the beach! You can see the sunrise and sunset just sitting on your balcony. The condo had everything we needed for our month stay. The kitchen was well equipped so we were able to do a lot of eating in. There was even a place to store our bicycles. Brad is amazing! Very responsive when we contacted him! Will definitely stay at his place again on our next trip to Orange Beach.

Beach Get away

Awesome, pristine and clean. Had everything we needed for the long weekend. Close to everything but a quite property too. Looks to be freshly renovated with flooring, appliances and countertops. We are already booking our next trip!

Terrible Experience – Dishonest and Unprofessional Property ManagementI would strongly advise against booking with CastAway Properties. During our stay, we discovered bugs in the bed, which was both disgusting and deeply concerning. I immediately reached out to the property owner, and we had multiple phone calls and text exchanges regarding the issue.Initially, the owner expressed concern and remorse, acknowledged the issue, assuring us that a pest control company would be contacted to inspect the condo. He clearly stated—via text messages on August 9th and 10th, 2025—that we would receive a refund regardless of the outcome of the pest control inspection. However, on August 11th, the owner abruptly reversed his position, stating that no refund would be provided, and that any further communication would have to go through the VRBO message board.This was incredibly disappointing and felt like a clear bait-and-switch. We were essentially promised compensation and then had that promise completely withdrawn.We have never encountered such dishonest and unprofessional behavior from a property management company. CastAway Properties showed a complete lack of integrity and accountability. What should have been a relaxing stay turned into a stressful and frustrating experience.VRBO has been made aware of the issue, and a case has been opened and escalated to their Health and Safety Department for further review.
