Tucked along the sugar-white sands of Perdido Beach Boulevard, just west of Perdido Pass, sit two extraordinary communities that offer very different but equally compelling versions of coastal living in Orange Beach: The Bluffs at Orange Beach and Summerchase Condominiums. Whether you’re drawn to the idea of a luxurious beachside cottage with a private pool or a turnkey Gulf-front condo with panoramic views, both of these properties promise the ultimate in comfort, style, and walkability.

 Beachside Cottages at The Bluffs: A Modern Take on Classic Coastal Living

Explore The Bluffs at Orange Beach

The Bluffs is an intimate enclave of Gold Fortified, luxury-built single-family cottages, located directly across from the beach and just steps from The Coastal Restaurant and Summerchase Condominiums. This highly desirable location at the intersection of Highway 161 and Perdido Beach Boulevard puts you in the heart of Orange Beach, where walkability to dining, shopping, and recreation is unmatched.

Some homes at The Bluffs are beautifully appointed with private gunite pools, outdoor showers, grilling areas, and a private parking.  Many offer elevators to all levels, ideal for both owners and renters seeking easy access.

Inside, you’ll find high-end finishes such as:

• Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances

• Custom cabinetry and large kitchen islands

• Quartz countertops and wood flooring

• Frameless glass showers and spa-inspired tilework

• Impact-resistant windows and doors

• Gas fireplaces, wet bars with wine coolers and ice makers

With spacious bedrooms, these homes were designed for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the Gulf Coast lifestyle to the fullest. Beach access is just a short stroll away via private dune walkovers, and the community is known for its brick-paved streets, and architectural charm.

“It’s the kind of place that makes you pause and think—this is where I want to be,” said one neighbor during a recent tour.

Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a high-yield vacation rental, The Bluffs offers timeless design in a premier location.

Browse Summerchase Condo Listings

Right next door to The Bluffs is Summerchase, a Gulf-front condo complex that has long been a favorite among Orange Beach homeowners and vacationers. With direct beach access, indoor and outdoor pools, a kiddie pool, fitness center, sauna, and hot tub, Summerchase offers resort-style amenities in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

These 3-bedroom, 2-bath units are known for their spacious layouts, updated interiors, and sweeping Gulf views from expansive private balconies. Inside, you’ll find:

• Granite countertops

• Stainless steel appliances

• Tile flooring throughout

• Spa-like walk-in showers

• Stackable washer and dryer

• Hurricane-rated storm shutters

Owners benefit from storage lockers, owner’s closets, and on-site security and management. Located within walking distance to The Coastal Restaurant, local boutiques, a public boat launch, and the Hugh S. Branyon Backcountry Trail, Summerchase is ideal for both full-time living and vacation rental income.

“It’s rare to find a Gulf-front condo that checks every box—location, views, amenities, and strong rental potential. Summerchase delivers all of that and more,” I often tell clients.

Which Lifestyle Suits You Best?

• Prefer the privacy of a home with your own pool, elevator, and private driveway? The Bluffs may be your perfect match.

• Looking for the convenience of a lock-and-leave beachfront condo with onsite amenities? Summerchase could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

I’ve walked these properties many times with homeowners, guests, and prospective buyers. Whether you're looking for a beach house steps from the Gulf or a low-maintenance beachfront condo, I’d be honored to help you find your perfect fit.
