Buena Vista Coastal RV Resort

Tim Mollenhauer

Buena Vista Motor Coach Resort in Orange Beach, Alabama is an absolutely beautiful upscale RV Resort. We stayed for 45 days. The Good: The indoor pool and hot tub are great for cooler days and the fitness center and clubhouse are well maintained and CLEAN! The reception area offers ice for sale as well as shirts, hats, souvenirs, etc... The restrooms near the indoor pool are also very clean and have showers with body wash, shampoo and conditioner. You must bring your own towel. There is a lazy river with a rock waterfall and has a great water park type slide. The kids will love the lazy river. In the back of the resort near the pickleball courts is a salt water pool that is quiet and out of the way. The sites and roads are all pavers and are large and well appointed with full hookups. The outdoor kitchens with firepit can be reserved and are definitely the way to go. The most impressive thing for us is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Ann, Joe and Melvin in the maintenance and outdoor areas are on point and are at our beckoned call. Louise and Diana in the welcome center have helped made our stay a memorable one. The lake has a resident alligator and the small mouth bass are plentiful for catch and release. There is a back gate for direct access to the miles and miles of trails for hiking, biking and yes, ebikes are welcomed. The beach access is right across the street with very easy access. The Bad: Restaurants are not within walking distance and shopping (while good) is quite spread out. Most attractions are within just a few miles. The Ugly: Buena Vista Resort is expanding rapidly, so the construction noise is every day from 8am to 5pm. They do give us a break on Sat/Sun. Overall BV can't be beat!!

This was our third visit to the resort. We stayed at site 84 twice and this time we picked site 4. Site 4 is at the front of the resort with a screened porch with an upper deck that gives you a glimpse of the Gulf. Even though it is next to the beach road, the noise wasn't bad. We and our two dogs had a great time.

We were in town visiting with friends and had a great time. The park is beautiful and beautifully maintained. We loved the alligator that spent every day sunning on the shore straight across from our site. We rented e-bikes at the office & were able to exit out the back of the resort & spend an afternoon riding the trails in Gulf State Park. We will definitely stay again!

First time at this resort and we completely enjoyed it. Spotless, well-manicured resort with a great outdoor pool area (didn't get around to trying the heated indoor pool). Loved staying in our RV with the house right next to us where our daughter's family stayed. This will become an annual event for us.

This place is beautiful, clean, and so much fun! If you have a class A or a Super C motor coach I would highly recommend. The staff is friendly, the sun sets are amazing and it has awesome wildlife. There's beach access and it backs up to Gulf Shores State Park with easy access to paved trails. With the lazy river, a salt water pool, indoor heated pool and a hot tub there's never a lack of splashing and relaxing to be had.

We had a fantastic time with our family at BV resort. We were on site 8 with the Coach house. The house was very well appointed and had everything we needed for a great, stress free trip! The pools and lazy river were wonderful; our whole family enjoyed them! I would advise bringing your own float with a seat for maximum enjoyment. The beach area was so nice; not crowded at all like the condo areas were. We can’t say enough good things about this place. We have already booked another stay!”

Thanks, Team Buena Vista Motor Coach Resort! Had a great time during our stay in site #14! Spacious, flat, paver-ed slab! Loved the green space and landscaping! Beautiful to be on the lake with the fountains to enjoy sunset! Loved the fire pit and tiki with fan, lighting, seating, outdoor kitchen! Amenities fantastic- indoor pool and spa, outdoor pool, lazy river, pickle ball, golf carts, access to Gulf State Park trail system, beach access, camp store and merch, complimentary coffee/donuts, coach houses, etc… tremendous options for outdoor fun and access to shops/restaurants! Beautiful! Can’t wait to return!

Loved staying here! The site was in a great location! It was quiet, great view of the small lake/pond! Enjoyed the covered area with built in gas grill. We took advantage of the community pool in the back, the lazy river near our site, and the indoor swimming pool on a stormy day. The beach was close by. We took our Jeep over and spent the day. Close to several restaurants and shopping areas. We will definitely return for another stay in the future.

We have been staying at Class A Resorts now for over 6 years. This is our first time to Orange Beach and Buena Vista, and WOW! Great location right across the street from the beach, with private access to the beach, was great! The fact that I pulled our 45' coach into our spot on the first try speaks loudly about how you thought about the drive and the lots. Beautifully landscaped, and the onsite pool was a great addition and a great option when it was too windy at the beach. We had a lot with a full outdoor kitchen, and we used it every night (including a pizza oven). Every day we were outside ALL day. We had three sitting areas, which gave us lots of room to just hang out. The best part was access to twenty-nine miles of bike trails as part of the state park. That was a game-changer for us. We rode every day and don't think we saw all of it. We (meaning our two sheep-a-doodles) LOVED the dog park. Just enough to get some of that energy out. We have officially put Buena Vista on our "come back to" list! Thanks for giving us a memorable vacation!
