These Orange Beach Airbnbs Put You Close To the Sand and Nightlife

Alabama Epic Stays
by Matador Creators Mar 4, 2023

Orange Beach is a coastal city on the Gulf of Mexico in Baldwin County, Alabama. It’s known for its pristine beaches, emerald waters, and variety of outdoor activities along the coast.

It’s well-known that Orange Beach is popular with the influx of visitors during spring break. And it’s not a huge surprise why. It ticks a lot of boxes. But it’s also popular for a coastal getaway outside of this season. For those interested in local wildlife, the charming Gulf Coast city offers a variety of exciting sightings. Dolphins and manatees can be seen frolicking off the shoreline, while ospreys and other birds soar above. You may even encounter an alligator or two.

Airbnb Orange Beach vacation rentals are a great way to experience the city without breaking the bank. With a wide range of options available — from beachfront villas to apartments with breathtaking Gulf views — Airbnb offers an array of properties perfect for your next getaway.
