The mid-range Hampton Inn & Suites Orange Beach is a modern, beachfront hotel that offers an unbeatable location in Orange Beach, with restaurants and shops nearby and the Wharf in Orange Beach within a 10-minute drive. Its 160 rooms are spacious and clean, with microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi, though noise can be an issue due to thin walls. The heated indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub overlook the beach, and there’s a tiki bar serving drinks in warmer months. A free hot breakfast with eggs is served daily, but there's no on-site restaurant. It’s a solid value for beach-loving families and couples, but rates typically spike on weekends, so it’s wise to shop around. The Holiday Inn Express Orange Beach is also on the beach and offers cheaper rates over most dates.

This sleek, towering 120-unit condo complex looks like a shiny mirage imported from the Vegas strip. Two towers, rising 24 and 30 stories, house massive gulf-facing rooms that start at 2,300 square feet. The high-end style is unique for the area and leaves Turquoise Place with no direct competition. The upscale three- to five-bedroom condos have private balcony whirlpools, barbecues, fireplaces, and state-of-the-art appliances. Property features include five on-site pools (both indoor and outdoor), a lazy river with nearly a half-acre of sun deck, two fitness centers, tennis courts, on-site activities for both children and adults, and direct beach access -- to name a few. While it may be an expensive choice for smaller parties, its a great choice (and value) for larger parties, discerning travelers and families.

The Island House is a three-pearl property with an upscale beach vibe and lots of fun features for this price point. Contemporary beach style rooms are spacious and each includes a balcony overlooking the public beach, which is accessible via a long wooden boardwalk. The swimming pool isn't huge, but the additional kiddie pool is a nice touch. Expect to pay extra for breakfast and beach chairs. Wi-Fi and parking are included and the on-site Island Grille gets high marks for lunch and breakfast -- but it does not offer dinner service.

Located right on the Gulf of Mexico, this beach property feels more like a vacation condo than a mid-range, 346-room hotel. With a slew of amenities including an indoor pool and hot tub, a spacious outdoor pool and kiddie pool, and a full fitness center, there’s plenty on-site to keep guests busy. There are also four restaurants -- ranging from a formal dining experience to the poolside grill -- and two bars. Though the building is clearly an older property, it’s well-maintained and clean, and guest rooms have mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and central air-conditioning along with patios with views.
