Beach Haven OBA, Orange Beach, Alabama Vacation Rental by Owner

Beach Haven was absolutely the most fantastic condo! The beachy decor was wonderful! The King Master  bed was very comfortable! Kitchen supplies were great including many spices ,sugar, flour, etc. I think most of all was how relaxing this condo was, being set back from the busy Beach Boulevard. Fantastic living room furniture as well as patio we really enjoyed our time watching nature from the back deck,  especially the Alligator, John was by far the BEST and easiest owner that we have  ever dealt with in over 10 years of coming to Orange Beach and Panama City Beach! ⛱️  Hope to return soon to Beach Haven!

Thank you so much for your "Amazing" review! Thank you for taking the time to write a wonderful description of our Beach Haven / Heaven! It has been a pleasure having you stay with us and we welcome you back with open arms whenever you can come down again! All the best to you and yours! John & Jodi

Our second stay with hopefully many years to come back to! We loved this condo the first time and the second time was just as pleasant. Perfectly decorated to keep you in a peaceful, beach vacation mindset. Reminders throughout the decor of how blessed we are to get to enjoy God’s beauty and to relax. Beach Haven condo is perfectly placed for easy beach access, central to all the hot spots, and yet you can set on the back patio overlooking the lake and enjoy the peace of mind and nature’s beauty.  We love vacationing at Orange Beach and staying at Beach Haven! 5-Star location with 5-Star owners!

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of our home Beach Haven! I believe you have perfectly described how Jodi and I feel as well. We are so blessed to have this as our home away from home and so thankful you have chosen to stay with us again! We look forward to your next stay with us and for you to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Orange Beach / Gulf Shores. All the best! John & Jodi.

We usually stay in a beach front condo, but decided to book on the bay side. This condo was perfect for us! It was so clean and well maintained. The Gulf State Park view was so serene and calming. The complex itself was easy to navigate the environment was calm and family friendly. We did not experience loud and rowdy people, which was so wonderful. We will definitely be back!

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Jessica, thank you so much for your Five Star review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you taking the time to put down your kind words. We love the view too and you're right it is so calming and serene. Jodi and I look forward to having you stay again with us at Beach Haven!

All I can say is wow! We had the most amazing family vacation. The condo was perfect, the decor is light and airy, bed was extremely comfortable! The distance to the beach with the pool nearby was perfect for us! This was a memorable vacation and I can’t wait to return! The owners were top notch. Reached out before with all information, reached out day of arrival to make sure we had everything in order, reached out to us day of departure to ensure a smooth check out! I would highly recommend this place and these owners! You won’t be disappointed!

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

All I can say is Wow Lindsay! Thank you so much for your wonderful five star review. We so much appreciate it. And so glad you guys enjoyed your stay at Beach Haven! We would certainly love you to come back and stay the next time you want to visit Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. All the best! John and Jodi

We had a fantastic week staying at Beach Haven. The condo is clean, has awesome views & is absolutely beautiful. Communication with John & Jodi was great & they made sure everything was perfect for our stay. Short, easy walk to the beach & a beautiful pool with cabana to swim as well. Lots of wonderful memories were made during our stay....We will definitely be back!!

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you so much Maria for a wonderful 5 star review! Jodi and I are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We really appreciate your kind words and detailed description of our Beach Haven and the beautiful area we love. We look forward to having you back again! All the best.

We absolutely enjoyed our time at Beach Haven! Our boys had such a fun time on the balcony looking at all of the wildlife and beach access wasn’t very far away!  Perfect location and close to everything we needed.

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you Charlsi for your 5 star review! We are so happy your family enjoyed your stay at Beach Haven! Hopefully we can have you all back next time you choose to stay in Orange Beach!

My family of 6 stayed at Beach Haven for a week and we cannot wait to book again! First, the owners are so helpful and friendly, working with us and responding immediately to any questions. Such nice people! They treat you like family! The condo itself is flawless. The decor is beautiful and the back deck overlooking the water was a favorite spot for our two young children. They spotted alligators and the turtles are huge! It's very quiet and relaxing. The pool was never crowded and always clean. Being the same depth made it fun for the kids to explore further and being 2 minutes from our door to the pool made it so convenient to not have to haul everything we needed for an entire day around, (moms will understand!) 

The location is amazing. A 20 minute cab ride (just $10 per person) and there are restaurants and bars at the Wharf. Such a beautiful place at night! There are restaurants in walking distance and a quick jaunt to the beach. The location is perfect. 

I can't rave enough about our stay. It was the best family vacation! We can't wait to book again!!

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Ashley, thank you so much for your wonderful review we certainly appreciate it! We are so happy your family enjoyed your stay there. Thank you so much for pointing out all the wonderful things that we've come to know and love about Beach Haven as well. All the best, and we look forward to hosting you guys again!

Great time great people everything you need is close by.

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you Shaun for 5 stars! So glad you enjoyed your 2 month stay at Beach Haven Orange Beach!

First let me mention how nice the owners, John and Jodi are! They definitely want you to feel welcomed and they do a wonderful job at making sure you do! 
Secondly, the condo was beautiful and so clean. I mean literally spotless! 
The beds are super comfortable and they provide plenty of extra pillows and blankets. 
My daughter loved seeing the turtles and my nephew was impressed with the alligator. 
The beach is a short walk across the street and the location is perfect for anyone who wants to go explore the shops and restaurants. 
I would absolutely recommend booking Beach Haven for your next getaway!!

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you so much Haley and your family for the wonderful review! Jodi and I were so happy to have welcomed you to our home and Beach Haven in Orange Beach. We truly find it to be a wonderful place to host our guest's family and friends. You hit all the key points, thank you so much for your five-star review! All the best, John & Jodi

I absolutely LOVED Beach Haven!  Booking and check-in were a breeze.  The view from the sliding back doors drew me out immediately to the lanai where I planted myself all week!  The turtles, egrets, and herons were a bonus to see.  The space is very comfortable and had everything we needed for a great week away from life.  They provide a binder in case you're not from the area and need suggestions for places to eat and things to do.  Thank you John and Jodi!!

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Jodi and I are so happy you LOVED our Beach Haven. So glad you liked the binder and yes there are some great places to dine at and to see. Our lanai is also our favorite spot. Thanks again and we do hope you will choose to come back and stay as our guests again!

What an amazing place. We wish we could keep it our little secret. The owners are super helpful and very easy to communicate with. The arrangement and comfort of beds is fantastic and well thought out. There were plenty of bath towels, a fully stocked kitchen, full size washer and dryer, the included beach towels were a huge benefit (less to pack and haul from Oklahoma). It is CLEAN! It is comfortable and beautifully decorated without being over the top “beachy.” We enjoyed the shared pool onsite. The back deck overlooking the pond was a nice place to drink coffee in the morning or to unwind in the evening while watching the turtles and listening to the frogs. The dedicated elevator and luggage cart were a huge bonus. We can’t wait to go back.

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you so much Mindy! Jodi and I are so thankful for your wonderful review. We appreciate the kind words and descriptions you gave of our home. We are so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you all back again!

Beach Haven is the most beautiful place. The condo was very clean, adorable decorations, the beds were SO COMFY and just all around very welcoming. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach but also sitting on the back deck to watch the turtles and alligator. 
John and Jodi were so great and easy to work with. They were very responsive anytime I had questions. Thank you for sharing your beach haven with my family. We loved it here and will come back.

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Full amenities spacious condo with a great big back balcony!  All beds were very comfortable.  A quiet relaxing space to enjoy after being in the sun all day.  Our kids loved finding the alligators and turtles from balcony. John and Jodi were wonderful to book with.

Beach Haven is a gorgeous recently remodeled unit that is very comfortable and very clean!  It is located close to all that Orange Beach has to offer but feels miles away from all the hustle. Very relaxing and peaceful. You can watch turtles off your back balcony and enjoy nature. The owner John was very responsive and great to rent from. This unit is highly recommended!!!

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you so much for your kind words and your review Vanessa! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We all need a little soul soothing from time to time. All the best! :)

This condo is absolutely beautiful. We loved our stay there. The only thing wrong with it at all was we couldn’t stay longer. We just wanted a couple of days getaway to celebrate our sons graduation from High school, we only had a few days before he started his internship for the summer and this condo was still available. It was a blessing. John & Jodi are wonderful people to work with. They answered all my questions quickly and were very nice. I asked about booking to condo one day and we were in Orange Beach the next. They helped make this trip possible for us.  The view on both front and back is wonderful. The back view off the balcony is so peaceful and calming. The front view even tho it was right on the gulf you could still see the water. Our family so enjoyed our time here and can’t wait till we can come back again (and stay longer next time). Thank you John & Jodi for opening your home to us and letting us stay.

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you so much! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. And thank you for your kind words they are much appreciated! We are looking forward to having you stay with us again and even longer next time! All the best! John & Jodi.

The amenities were above and beyond the hosts are very gracious and helpful. The view of the lakes from the balcony were beautiful. Clean peaceful great location to dining and the beach the premises are immaculate from the pool to the gazebo. We will definitely be booking all of our future orange beach vacations here. Thank you for opening your condo to us.

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you so much for your kind words and we are so happy you loved our Beach Haven Ladonda! Your review was so appreciated. We look forward to having you back with us next time you visit Orange Beach!

Thank you so much! We are so glad you loved your stay. And thank you so much for writing your review, you don't know how much that means to us! We hopefully will have you join us again next year or on your next time in Orange Beach / Gulf Shores in Sweet Home Alabama! :)

Location was perfect and rental was very clean and extremely comfortable down to linens, pillows, and beds. The back deck was a beautiful, natural view. Although the weather was cloudy, this place is one you do not mind being stuck inside! John was quick to respond to questions. I would definitely recommend!

John and Jodi Barnhill's reply:

Thank you Jennifer for your review and recommendation. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Beach Haven! All the Best! John & Jodi

I have nothing but great things to say about this stay – everything was amazing. The condo itself is beautiful and spacious and has everything you could possibly need. It was very homey and comfortable as well. The complex is also very clean and quiet and the pool was super nice as well. The beach accessibility was also great, and the crosswalk was available within seconds every time. On top of that, John and Jodi went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. They are incredibly helpful and kind and were very responsive throughout our stay. They truly are the best rental hosts I have ever come across and they truly cared about making sure we had the best trip possible. I cannot recommend this place enough!
