Our stay was less than 2 weeks after Hurricane Sally ravaged Orange Beach. Unfortunately, I had not purchased travel insurance. There was no option for a refund and the dates given to reschedule our stay were not feasible for us. The beach was scheduled to reopen the day we arrived, however beach closure was extended and we had no beach access during our stay. The pool was open but we chose to not get in, as another guest told us they had found pieces of glass in the pool. At night, the flood lights revealed many, many tiny pieces of glass glistening on the sidewalk and lawn. The condo was great... very clean and comfortable. We had some issues with the TV in the living room. We called and were told someone would be sent to look at it but no one came. Fortunately, we were eventually able to resolve the issue ourselves. The restaurants that had reopened had a limited menu, which was disappointing but very understandable, as they were just reopening. Orange Beach was still in post hurricane recovery mode. Seeing the devastation was sad. It made me feel as if our visit was intrusive to locals. Many shops were still closed so shopping was very limited. I would love to return to Sun Swept. Lesson learned regarding travel insurance!!! I will never book during Hurricane season without purchasing travel insurance.
