Surrounded by the Little Lagoon and the emerald waters of the ocean, this spacious Gulf Shores home boasts six bedrooms, a private pool, and a prime location! Fun in the sun can be curated easily when you visit the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo, the Gulf State Park Pier, and Craft Farms Golf Club. Delicious dining and vibrant shopping opportunities are also in abundance in this area - so rest assured that each member of your family will find something they love.

Back at your stay, spend sun-drenched afternoons hanging out by the heated saltwater pool. Paired with your beverage of choice and the company of your loved ones - memories made here are sure to be lifelong. When you need a break from the sun, rinse off in the outdoor shower before heading inside and getting comfortable on the plush furniture in the open-floor-plan living room. Cozy up and tune into the movie of your choice while the chef of your family utilizes the gleaming countertops and stainless steel appliances in the full kitchen. Cooking here is made easy and dining is even easier! Eat family-style at the sprawling dining table, or alfresco in the sun.

Each of the six bedrooms has been carefully curated to maximize your comfort. Unwind and indulge in your vacation read while lounging on the plush bedding, cooled by central air-conditioning. An additional interior perk can be utilized when you throw your clothes into the private washer/dryer - refreshed and ready for another day in paradise!

End your evenings outside, enjoying the balmy air while watching a movie on the outdoor TV.

Gorgeous Beach Home

I highly recommend staying at the Big Easy! The home is gorgeous and had plenty of room to accommodate our family, we had a total of 10 people. The walk to the beach is super easy so we will definitely be staying at the Big Easy again!

Great Stay in the Big Easy!

This house was absolutely beautiful and ultra clean. The house and beautiful finishes and was the perfect location for our couples retreat. The location had beautiful views and I know that if you rent during the summer it will be even better!

Great Stay

Perfect for a large group! The Big Easy was immaculately clean- almost like no one had ever been there before us. We had a small maintenance issue worth the A/C breaker being flipped but Vacasa was prompt with taking care of it. Excellent communication. We will be back!

Exactly as pictured

We loved how close it was to the beach and plenty of great restaurants. The backyard pool area was very relaxing and it’s refreshing when it all matches the pictures and you get exactly what you expected. Would definitely recommend!!

Great place

This home was way better than we thought it would be. The pictures don’t give it justice. Home was bigger than expected- location was great - heated pool - very clean home. Next time we are in gulf shores we will rent this place again.

good Stay

Stay was great, house was clean with lots of room. TV had no channels, had to log into own accounts to watch anything. This was a business trip, so was not a big issue for us.

AMAZING

This house was absolutely stunning & everything we needed to host our volleyball team trip. You are 1 block off the beach (less than a 5 min walk) The pool and outdoor area is great! The views from the balconies are all amazing! Plenty of room to host our group of 17. The girls really enjoyed the bunk beds. Each of the king bed rooms were very spacious and comfy. Check in and out was flawless.

Large family vacation

This home was perfect for our family vacation. They thought of everything we could need. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for large family meals including pots, pans, dishes, cups, cutting boards. The pool was a treat after a long day at the beach. My girls loved the bunkbeds. We had teenagers in one of the bedrooms with bunkbeds and we had little ones in the other room with the bunkbeds. Loved the walking distance to the beach entrance. We spent time at the public beach close to The Hangout, but we would hang at the private beach entrance close to home in the afternoons. It was absolutely perfect and we are definitely going back for our next family vacation.

Loved it here!

This house was very clean and had plenty of space for our party of 19! We really enjoyed the pool and loved being able to wash/dry our clothes and towels daily. The kitchen was stocked with many pots, pans and utensils so we were able to make meals and not have to eat out every day. Location was close to everything! Only downsides were 1. The house had a lot of gnats when we arrived and were pretty persistent throughout our stay, even after buying some traps. 2. The house to the left and the house to the right are under construction so there was a lot of noise early in the morning and random workers around often. Wifi wasn’t great, but that was expected since it stormed off and on. Overall, we would stay here again anytime we are in the Gulf Shores!

Dissapointing

Beautiful house, lovely location close to the beach, but poorly managed/maintained. Initially, we asked for an early check-in as we arrived earlier than planned. We were told that wasn't possible. We decided to go on to the house and just wait in the driveway, expecting someone to be there finishing up. No one was there until shortly after we arrived, who told us we could go on in the house was ready. There was limited seating inside and out, only 4 lounge chairs around the pool and instructions not to move any furniture, 6 coffee cups in a house that was supposed to sleep 18-20, water pouring out of range hood when turned on, no response from Vacasa until the next day and then no resolution scheduled until after we left, boards missing in the privacy fence, gas grill pictured in photos but non-functioning. Breakers tripped so half the outlets in the kitchen didn't work, but no one could tell us where to find the breaker box; pulls missing on dresser drawers, picutre fallen off the wall, and a bed support that 'broke'... until we discovered it was already broken previously but had only been 'repaired' instead of replaced. We loved the beach and Gulf Shores, but not sure we would consider this house or Vacasa for a future visit.

Wonderful Home

Would have been perfect if the pool could be cooled a little and the construction next door was complete. All in all a great vacation home.
