About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Our condo is in the middle of everything. It is 2 blocks from the "T" (the intersection of Hwy. 59 and Beach Blvd, at the Hangout). Park your car and never have to leave. Walk to The Hangout, The Pink Pony, Bahama Bobs, The Shrimp Basket and The Steamer just to name a few. There are also lots of souvenir shops also within walking distance. You can eat, drink and shop without ever getting in your car. How great is that!!
You get a great view of the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores right from the large front deck with no high rises to block your view. This is a small and quiet complex with only 12 units. Great for families and kids.
You can enjoy the large front deck with the beach views or sit back with a cold drink and watch the beautiful sunsets. You can also enjoy our small private balcony just off the living room with views of the beach also. This is a GREAT place for nice evening dinners.
It is an easy 1 minute walk to the beach with easy beach access. We have a cross walk and light just in front of the condo for your convenience. Just cross the street and your toes are in the sand.
To make is easy to tote the 6 beach chairs, beach mats, 6 beach towels and the beach umbrella that we provide we also have a beach cart. Did I mention we have a hard cooler and a couple of small soft coolers? No dragging all that stuff from home or having to buy it when you get here. WE HAVE IT FOR U!!
If you'd rather stay in and chill after a long day at the beach we do have a charcoal grill. We have a few small appliances for easy meals also.
The kitchen is FULLY stocked with probably anything you would need. There are 2 great bedrooms with queen beds, HDTV's, and each with a roll a way bed for overflow. You have views of the beach from both bedrooms. There is a full bath with tub/shower combo upstairs and a full bath with shower downstairs.
If you like the colors of the sand and the ocean you will love this condo. It has soothing beach colors and is light, bright and airy. There is free WIFI and FREE covered parking for 2 cars directly under the unit. The condo is approximately 1150 sq. feet. There is a full-size laundry room with full size W/D. We do have a pool on site and also a shower beneath the unit to shower off after that long day at the beach. We have board games and cards for those unexpected rainy days.
The HANGOUT FESTIVAL is directly in the front of our condo. Streets are blocked off for walking to and from the festival with no traffic to fight. No driving, no parking fees and no hassle. Or if you prefer you can just sit on either deck with a cold one and listen to the live music and watch the people go by. It's GREAT!!
I know you'll enjoy it as much as we do..
Thank you for checking us out and we hope you find your perfect vacation spot..

Great location for close access to the beach! Communication with the owners was superb and an added bonus was all the beach chairs, towels, etc. were provided for us. Highly recommend this place!
Great place to stay close to the beach. They have everything you need for a great day on the beach. Close to great restaurants and shopping. We would stay there again. We had a great week.
The location of this property is truly awesome. To be able to walk across the street to the beach and many establishments is fantastic. Owners are kind and responsive and property is clean and cute.
This house is very clean, comfortable and walking distance to the beach and many restaurants. We really appreciated that the unit came with beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and a cart to haul it all down to the beach.
This was a wonderful getaway place! The accommodations were excellent! There were so many nice extras! We highly recommend and can’t wait to stay here again!
We loved our stay! Very convenient to beach, walking distance to restaurants and some shops. Easy check in very clean. Even better they had everything we needed for beach we didn’t have to pack chairs and wagon. Definitely would book again!
We had a wonderful time staying at this property! It is beautifully decorated, is directly across the street from the beach, and the owners provide all of the beach amenities for you … umbrellas, chairs, towels, coolers, etc. and a rolling cart to tote it all. Would highly recommend!
Amazing first time visit to Gulf Shores! Vacation with our adult sons — found great disc golf courses, beach access great, loved beach walking path and good food! The condo was beautifully decorated and very clean! Nice to have beach chairs and beach towels! Would absolutely come here again!
The property was beautiful! Sonjie was very communicative, the property had everything listed and more, the location was just as described. Very quiet and peaceful.
All thee Gear to Enjoy thee Beach ,were Provided . Thee Condo was Beautiful and Everything was Provided to Enjoy your Stay . Shot walk to thee Beach , shops ,restaurants , felt very Safe . Great communication with thee Host .Will be coming back Again .
This property was exactly as listed. The location couldn’t have been better. Even with spring break, there was no traffic noise in the unit. Sitting on the deck, looking at the water was a wonderful perk! Will stay again next year!
Lovely condo has everything you need. The location is walkable, the kitchen equipment is abundant for those that like to cook. So relaxing loved every moment. The weather was the only thing not cooperating.
We were in Gulf Shores for the Shrimp Festival. This property was in the perfect location, walking distance to anything we wanted to do. The shrimp festival was right across the road, we could hear the live music from the balcony, several restaurants close by, and the beach access was perfect! The condo was very clean, nicely decorated, exactly like the pictures. Neighbors were friendly, and offered great recommendations for anything we wanted to do. Highly recommend this property! Five stars all the way!
Great location for our needs and I'm sure for anyone else's.
Hard to get any closer to the beach and the Gulf Shores entertainment.
Unfortunately, the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship will be moving to California for a couple years. Hope that Gulf Shores can get it back after that and we would definitely try to reserve this condo for our next trip to Gulf Shores!
This condo is fabulous! Booking, check-in, and check-out were simple and stress free. Sonjie and Danny are very responsive to any questions or concerns, and made the process simple with the information they provide. The location is excellent, as it is close to so much, especially the beach. The decor in the condo is absolutely perfect, fitting, and so relaxing! The kitchen has all the amenities needed, there are two full baths, and even a cot in each of the large bedroom closets. The pool is nice too, though we didnt utilize it during our stay. The extras that were provided like the beach buggy, chairs, and umbrella made our visit to the beach so much more enjoyable as well. The restaurants in the area were great and all within walking distance. Our favorite breakfast place is the Sunliner Diner! There is a Dollar General nearby too (next to the diner) for quick first-aid items or other last minute items. We sat on the front deck our last evening here just to enjoy the beach waves and the breeze before calling it a night. There are so many great things about this condo that my sister and I have already decided that we have to come back and book it again. I highly recommend this condo! It will not disappoint.
