Awesome new deck! Summertide. Sprawling Beachfront 8BR single story! Pool!

Summertide
2809 West Beach Blvd

8BR 5BA. Beachfront. Pool. Sprawling single level layout. Accommodates up to 26.

24-05-23 AWESOME NEW DECK just completed. Ready for Summer 2025! Speaking of.... ONE week opened up. Grab it fast!

Summer Tide is a sprawling gulf front home with 8 bedrooms and 5 baths, sleeping up to 26 people. It is located approximately 5.2 miles west of Hwy. 59 on West Beach Blvd., in Gulf Shores. A uniquely designed one level home, Summer Tide features a south and a north wing, each with a fully equipped kitchen and an open deck that wraps around the east side of the property. The layout for this home allows added privacy and is perfect for multiple families, or a family wanting some separation between adults and children.

The South wing of Summer Tide has four bedrooms, including 3 bedrooms with a king bed in each, one room with two double/single bunk beds, and a bunk room with two single bunks. There are three full baths in this wing: two private and one Hollywood bathroom (shared by the rooms with the queen bed and two twins). The master suite in this South wing is gulf front with picture windows and a tub–soak away your worries and enjoy the view.

The North wing of Summer Tide also features picture windows on the East side of the property offering views from the living area and kitchen. There are three bedrooms, each with a king bed, and two full baths (one private and one shared).

Both living areas offer good great gulf views and each includes a queen sleeper sofa for a bit of extra sack space. A ground floor entry features a foyer and sleeping area with two bunk beds that would be great for four children. The covered parking for Summer Tide is ample.

Big pool! 27x19x3-5', Rectangle. Pool lounge furniture provided. Added a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a per night surcharge for length of stay (gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Fee subject to change due to incredibly high gas rates right now. Any online quote will show the optional fee and its current pricing. You may also add it after booking by simply requesting the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

It was a great time. We usually stay at the Carib but this was a new option we wanted to try out. As far as feedback, I would say the responsiveness to our initial concerns (about the bunk) was really great. Lots of positives overall. The beach proximity is amazing. The pool temperature was ideal.

Fantastic stay at Summertide

Summertide was perfect for us. We loved having the two 'wings' of the home. The pool was great, and the beach wondeful and private. Can't say enough about the great management folks, with a special shoutout to Haley. Thank you so much for having us!

We had a great stay. There was plenty of room for our families. We loved being a little further down from the main beach and we enjoyed the pool and the porch a lot. We had the best vacation!

Family vacation

We have a great stay. We had a few hiccups as with any rental but they came to fix it that day…. Very timely and listened to whatever we needed!!! Beautiful home and we made so many family memories that will last us a lifetime. We had a lot of space and fortunate enough to have two kitchens to cook that was a blessing!

Wonderful location!

We all enjoyed our week in this home! From the private beach entrance, the large pool, and the home's layout, it was the perfect location for our family's vacation. Communication was great throughout the trip, and we had no trouble checking in or out.

This is it! We LOVED Summertide. We decided it was "our" family place to come back to in Gulf Shores each year. It fit us very well and had everything we could hope for! We already booked next year!

Great home

The layout of the home and the fact it’s right on the beach worked well for my family. The pool was used often during the evening or when the kids were through with the beach. Very little activity on the beach during our stay. The home is spacious and can accommodate multiple families with two kitchens. Close enough to town but far enough away from the large condos. Well equipped kitchens so stock up if you’re cooking. The owners were very responsive to any questions we may of had during our stay. Enjoy!
