Condo in Orange beach, gulf shores, Pensacola,, etc for July 4th weekend

You ain't getting good deals for the 4th. Busiest week of the year.

Your best bet for that price range is the Phoenix properties in Orange Beach/gulf shores

I own a one bedroom in Orange Beach in the Phoenix 1 complex. I rent mine through Brett Robinson, but most of the local rental companies also have agreements with VRBO. Owners that utilize the management services usually don't set the rates, they allow the management services to let the market dictate the price. July 4th week is the highest priced week of the year. The week after the 4th is actually one of the cheapest weeks of the summer. Occupancy rates and prices are also pretty low the last couple of weeks in August.

That said, mine is currently reserved right now from 6/29 through 7/3. To give you a feel for prices, those 4 days rented for about $1200. Prices advertised typically don't include the cleaning and parking fee that is added.

Damn! They are so high this time of year. We don't go there anymore, for the last 4 years we've been driving past there for another 7 hours(it's double the time but well worth it) where you can get a condo for 2 weeks for $1600. The water is crystal clear and the beaches are not packed at all. So much better. We were offered a condo last year for the whole month for $2200.
