| Absolutely perfect! We have stayed in many different condos in the Alabama Gulf Coast area over the years and must say Back Bay # 1102 stands head and shoulders above the rest. Roomy, nicely decorated, fully equipped kitchen and a view like no other! The pool and grounds were beautiful, but our favorite spot was the spacious balcony just taking in the bay and gulf views while seeing the dolphins feed and the boats go by. Morning coffee and our late afternoon wine and cheese were enjoyed every day in that comfortable spot. Even the night time view was spectacular. Take binoculars..you will use them a lot. We will never stay on the beach again! This was one trip we hated to see end. What a place! |

| This condo is wonderful! Having always stayed directly gulfront, we did not know what we were missing. From this penthouse we could see the bay, boats, gulf and the lights from the strip at night. We also saw the Dolphins! Kevin was great and worked with me to make next day travel possible. Thanks Kevin and we hope to rent from you again. |

Kevin and Liz,
We would like to thank you for opening up your beautiful home to us in July. The view is wonderful. Seeing the dolphins in the morning was the best. We also had a great time fishing. We had the best time. Can't wait to do it again next year. |

Kevin and Liz,
Thanks for letting us share your piece of paradise.
The condo and its grounds are very beautiful and the views from the balcony are awesome.
All we missed were the keys to your boat.. :)

Thanks so much for everything! My family and I had an amazing vacation. We especially enjoyed the view and the pool. We have come to Back Bay several times and it seems like every year it gets better and better. Your place is truly wonderful. We will definitely be back.
Thanks again,

Just a short note to say that we absolutely enjoyed our recent vacation in your condo. We have stayed at BackBay for several years with other people and I will have to say that your 11th floor condo has the very best view and everything was as nice as we had hoped. I hope to be calling you back soon for another wonderful vacation...Thank you for sharing your home away from home with us... Marsha |

Thank you so much for letting my family and I stay at your wonderful condo. We enjoyed the great view, pool, restaurants and nearby beaches (along with the random boats getting stuck on the sand bar). This vacation was a great way to spend time together as a family (and also for me to catch up with a few friends from Gulf Shores). We will surely recommend Back Bay to anyone we know in search of some great R&R!

I can not say enough good things about this rental and the owners. The rental was just exactly what they said it would be. It was very well stocked even things most rentals don't have, the view fabulous! The resort fantastic and peaceful. The owners are the easiest people to deal with, the fishing great and the dolphins are there to watch every afternoon, we saw several. Everyone was very impressed which in this group is hard to do. Thank you so much Kevin & Liz! We hope to be back someday.

| My girlfriend and I stayed here for a wedding/concert weekend of 4/16-4/19/09 and the property is exactly as decribed. The master bedroom was very spacious with a beautiful view of the bay. All the amenities were very nice including the comfortable beds, nice telvisions, and stereo. The view was very incredible, several of our friends had other various condos on the bay and ocean, and ours was by far the best. We saw our first dolphin with in about 30 minutes of getting settled in. We also rented a pontoon boat with our friends and had plenty of room to beach it right outside the condo. Kevin was very friendly and kept in touch very often and answered all my questions. We will return if we ever make it back to Orange Beach. |

My husband and I wanted to get away for the weekend and decided that the beach was the answer. I called Kevin the week we were looking to rent his beautiful condo. Even though it was last minute, Kevin was very accommodating and helpful. We had a great time enjoying the warm weather and the view from the balcony was refreshing. The condo is in great shape and only minutes from delicious restaurants and the beach. I will definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a nice relaxing getaway.
Thanks Kevin!

| The view was perfect-better than being directly on the beach. The bay is beautiful and very peaceful. I saw dolphins two mornings in a row. They seem to come around 6 or 6:30 AM - early but worth it. They swam around for about 30 - 45 minutes. The pool was fabulous and never crowded and the penthouse patio is in the perfect spot - no glaring afternoon sun. We'll be back! |

Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity to enjoy your condo in Orange Beach. It was fabulous and the view was nothing short of SPECTACULAR!
Also, I would like to comment on the Security Supervisor on Staff. So kind and cordial while still doing his job professionally. The last condo we rented this summer, felt as if security was run by Nazi mafia and we were treated more as criminals than guests. Kudos! Also ran into 2 other Back Bay owners we knew from Mobile. Advised us their condos were for rent. My husband just replyed, thanks but ain't the same without the "Penthouse View"!
Thank you for allowing us to share your special getaway!
Warm regards,
Janet, Majure, and Christopher |

Dear Kevin and Liz,
Thank you so very much for allowing us to stay in your awesome, awesome condo. It was so clean, and we had absoultely everything we needed. In fact, we were surprised at some of the tings you had thought of that we would have been lost without. We of course didn't think of them until we got there.
The view was as unbelievable as was stated in the ad. We sat on the balcony every night and enjoyed the wonderful breeze.
Again, thank you so very much for a wonderful vacation!!

| This property is as described clean and very comfortable. Kevin is very easy to work with. The views of the bay are beautiful during the day and stunning at night w/the lights off the water. I just can`t say how much I enjoyed my week on the bay. The pool is large and is a swimmers pool, very fun!!! I just can`t say enough good things. |

If only words could express what a great time we had. I think I talked Kevin's ears off when we returned home! Hanging out on the Lanai was nothing but a dream, we saw dolphins and rays swimming right in front of us. The condo was spectacular too! It was spotless and beautiful. The mattress was so comfy (one of my pet peeves when I travel). There are a ton of places to hang out on the beach, Lu's Lu's and The "Hang out" was a blast. If you like playing golf you must try out Gulf State Park. Thanks Kevin and Liz for the wonderful time!

| If you have a family, and like to just get away from the wildness of life......this is the place to stay!!! The pool is wonderful. The room is beautiful, with an awesome view of the bay. We saw dolphins and stingrays from the balcony! The atmosphere is family oriented, you dont have to worry with crazy people. LOL The staff is very friendly. We just had a wonderful time. |

We found 'The Penthouse' as advertised. What a joy it was to sit on the 'porch' and watch the activity on the Back Bay. Even saw a few dolphins and also a few novice boaters stuck on the sand bar!

| This was our first time to stay in a condo on the bay and we were not disappointed. We loved the view of the bay. The condo was very clean and had plenty of room for our 4 adults and 2 children. We had a pontoon boat with us and it was awesome to cruise around in the bay. I definitely want to stay here again. |

| My parents and I stayed at this beautiful condo. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a very relaxing vacation! We plan on returning, if God wills, for possibly 2 weeks (if my mom and I can talk my dad into it!) Summer of 2008! We are hooked. We've been going to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach since I've been a young child, and I have never had a vacation like the one I just got home from this afternoon. Thanks to Kevin and Liz for a great condo that was honestly advertised...hard to find these days! |

We've enjoyed our 2-month stay at your 'touch of paradise' at Back Bay! The view is spectacular and our dealings with you have been most comfortable and friendly- making us feel very much at home.
We look forward to coming back next year and will keep in touch.

Jamie and I brought our 2 children ages 3 & 4 to this wonderful "resort" last year for Spring Break (April 2006). It was perfect! From the beautiful view off the balcony to the many amenities for our children, the condo had it all.
The easy access pool, great big playground around the corner, many many restaurants (fun and used to having kids around) and last but definitely not least the “pure as snow” white beaches. The condo itself had lots of room to handle our active little ones plus the high tech stuff my husband needed to dial in to work and play DVDs. We actually cooked quite a few meals and the kitchen was just the right size to get it all done and easy to clean up. I loved having the washer and dryer I am a laundry nut! This was our first time visiting Orange Beach and we cannot wait to get back this summer (2007).

| My wife, daughter and friend of my wife's and I stayed in this lovely condo for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. The greatest part of our get away was the relaxation on the terrace overlooking the bay. We ate there, drank coffee in the morning, read during the day and enjoyed a cocktail in the evening. Next time, I'm going to try the fishing which has got to be great. We can't wait to return. Jack Talley |
