About this property

Designed with Intention. Elevated Standard.

  • Here's a little secret about West Beach: it's just as good on a Tuesday as it is on a Saturday — minus the crowds and the price bump. Book Nauti Mermaid for 4 nights or more and we'll take 10% off automatically. No code, no catch — just more time on the sand.

    Nauti Mermaid is a well-cared-for coastal condo designed for couples and solo travelers who value comfort, order, and a quieter beach experience. Located just across the street from the Gulf of Mexico with deeded beach access, it offers an easy balance of convenience and calm. Close to dining and shopping yet removed from the busiest areas, this is a relaxed home base for guests who want to enjoy the coast at their own pace. Well-behaved pets are welcome.

    Got four days that don't line up with a weekend? Perfect. Book Nauti Mermaid for 4 nights or more, any time of year, and 10% comes off automatically — no code needed. West Beach looks the same on a Wednesday as it does on a Saturday. The line at the pier is just shorter.

    🌊 The Location

    You’ll be just 1.5 miles from the heart of Gulf Shores—close enough to enjoy the restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, yet tucked into a quiet stretch of beachside living. Waves Grocery, Beach House Kitchen & Cocktails, and S&S Seafood are just steps away, and our deeded beach access is directly across the street.

    🏡 The Space

    Inside, you’ll find a bright, comfortable condo designed with relaxation in mind:
    • Queen bedroom with fresh linens and fluffy pillows
    • Living room with sofa bed for an extra guest
    • Fully stocked kitchen with local coffee + cooking essentials
    • Bathroom with plush towels and toiletries
    • Smart TV, WiFi, and a dedicated workspace
    • Guests love our thoughtful touches—like the digital guidebook with local recommendations and the option to rent beach chairs and umbrellas for a carefree day by the water.

    🐾 Pet-Friendly Comfort

    Traveling with your furry friend? Pets are welcome at The Nauti Mermaid! While Gulf Shores doesn’t allow dogs on the beach, you’ll find plenty of nearby walking spots and a welcoming home environment.
