As you start making your plans for your upcoming Orange Beach, Alabama getaway, you may not have thought much beyond those white sand beaches and may not really know what to expect. Yes, you are going to want to spend as much time as possible with your toes buried in the sand and your eyes hungrily taking in the views, and yes, you are going to look forward to coming home to one of our vacation rentals in Orange Beach every night of your stay, but there is so much more to see and experience. And for our guests joining us in late April or September, there is something even more special, the Bama Coast Cruisin’ car rally, a twice annual event that makes our hearts beat faster; this guide to the rally and our Bama Coast Cruisin’ vacation rentals will offer a sneak peek into the most fabulous spring or fall vacation ever!

Vacation Rentals In Orange Beach
We all have that one thing we obsess over more than anything else. For some it’s animals, for others it’s sports, and then there are the car obsessed. Call them gearheads, call them enthusiasts, but their passion for automobiles seem to reach new heights every year and because they are able to combine a fabulous beach vacation with the Bama Coast Cruisin’ car rally, life just doesn’t get any better for them. The classic car show format is something that old school enthusiasts will truly appreciate, but even modern car buffs will be entertained and engaged as they stroll up and down the aisles, exploring colorful cars in prime condition, and perhaps finding one for sale that they just have to have. Held at the Wharf in Orange Beach, the town actually closes down Main Street to all but those participating in the show, offering a unique detail to the celebration of horsepower and style; the three days of the rally really isn’t long enough!
Same Activities and Events, Different Months
Bama Coast Cruisin’ isn’t just a lineup of cars parked in the lot with their hoods open, although that is a key part of the rally. This fun event offers so much more that there is sure to be something that will appeal to every member of your traveling group. The vendors area and swap meet always has something you just have to have to bring home for your own baby—er, we mean classic car. Also offering live music (what’s a party without music?) door prizes, and cash giveaways, the weekend could end up being a profitable one for you and your family. There is that one celebrity gearhead who will offer demonstrations, workshops, and the opportunity to rub shoulders with someone you watch on television, and the Thursday and Friday night parties, combined with the Saturday night after party, will provide good food, cold drinks, and of course, live music. Your favorite part of Bama Coast Cruisin’, however, may be the annual Beach Cruise that takes place on Saturday afternoon/evening. If you have never witnessed a parade of classic cars driving along a beach road, the blue waters, white sands, and occasional green palm trees adding to the colorful picture of beauty, now is the time to remedy that lack in your life!
Drive on Home to Our Poole & Associates Bama Coast Cruisin’ Vacation Rentals
Now that you have enjoyed a glimpse of the coolest car show on the Alabama coast, it is time to see all the treasures that await you in our Poole & Associates Bama Coast Cruisin’ vacation rentals! Our properties are located all over this section of beach, but you will probably want to stick close to the festival choosing our Orange Beach retreats for your home sweet vacation home. Offering both standalone homes and condos that peek out over the blue waters of the Gulf, guests will easily find the space that fits just right. These properties may be pet friendly, enabling your ENTIRE family to enjoy this family vacation that will never be forgotten, and most will offer a pool in some manner, either private for the standalone homes or community ones, with both adding an extra layer of excitement and good times to your vacation experience.
Home Sweet Vacation Home
The Poole & Associates difference will be apparent within your first steps inside. Spacious rooms filled with light greet each guest, inviting them to find a new way to relax and a wonderful way to forget about any real life problems that may have lingered in the back of your mind. Located everywhere you want to be in Orange Beach, the home that calls to you may be a waterfront marvel, offering stunning views and a private pool surrounded by chairs. The backyard areas will offer barbecues, patio tables and chairs, and plenty of spots to lounge and enjoy the warmth of the sun beating down on your shoulders and neck. Lounge poolside with a tropical beverage and plenty of sunscreen and discover again why it is so important for your soul to enjoy these moments off warmth and wonder. And if your Orange Beach retreat overlooks the sea, you can be sure that there will be a patio or balcony offering the best views and plenty of seats for resting and relaxing while you enjoy sunset toasts and tranquil moments you will never forget. Serene bedrooms, spacious and spa-like baths, and all the comforts of home combine to give visitors a luxurious and compelling vacation experience!
Cozy Condos for the Win
Like snowflakes, no two vacation getaways are alike and when you have a smaller traveling party, you will probably lean towards renting a condo, preferably one that overlooks the Gulf, and our Orange Beach sanctuaries will fit your group like a glove. Offering 2- and 3-bedroom retreats, each filled with a beachy theme and, just like our full-sized homes, all the comforts of home, the charm of each space will draw you in and the luxury, comfort, and style will make you fall in love. No sacrifices will be necessary when you choose a condo over a home, as the community amenities play a part in spoiling you and your family. Community pools, barbecue grills, and locations so close to the beach, the sand will be your backyard and the sea will be your swimming pool. (Of course, you can still swim in the community swimming pool, if you please!) Inside, spacious rooms will seem even larger due to high ceilings and walls of windows that overlook the most stunning seascape of all and modern conveniences will ensure that you can cook a meal, watch television, or work from home if you can’t completely cut the ties between work and home!

Brittney Nix
My family and I have been vacationing to the Gulf Shores/Orange beach area for years and years and this is by far the best condo we have stayed in. From the perfect view, easy beach/pool access, to the room providing beach towels and chairs, the list could go on and on. This will be our go-to condo from now on!

We stayed at the Crystal Tower in Gulf Shores, AL for an extended weekend getaway. The amenities were pretty good and the check-in/out was a breeze. The view from the condo was absolutely amazing. We will definitely keep this an an option for future visits.
