About this property

Gulf & Golf East! Beachfront. Resort! 7 Pools. Tennis. Golf. 5 BR Sleeps 22.

Gulf & Golf at the Plantation, East Unit
805 Plantation Road, #13a

5BR 4.5BA Beachfront duplex. GREAT location in resort with SEVEN pools. Beachfront. Lots of resort amenities. Golf. Tennis. More! See below!

This listing is for Gulf & Golf at the Plantation, the EAST Unit.

We own the Gulf & Golf at the Plantation East, Gulf & Golf at the Plantation West, or you can book them together as a 10BR as Gulf & Golf at the Plantation East & West!

PLUS... Lower lodging taxes! Save 7% over a West Beach rental, right off the top, AND you can have your drinks, and umbrellas overnight, right on the beach, all year long, unlike beach homes in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores proper--even though it's the same sugary sand beach!

Beachfront luxury, all the amenities of a private home AND of the resort community, for a lot less. Gulf & Golf! 5BR Sleeps 22. Right on the Beach. Resort Community! Pools, Tennis.

Can book BOTH sides for a 10BR that sleeps 44. Connecting door on the main level!

Each side of Gulf & Gulf includes 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. Two of the bedrooms on each side are master suites. Each bedroom has a view of the Gulf of Mexico and a balcony overlooking the gulf or the golf course.

Each side accommodates 22, with 2400 square feet

BEDDING:
Main Floor Bedroom: King + Twin over Full Bunk
3rd Floor N Bedroom: 2 Fulls
3rd Floor N Middle Bedroom: Full over Full Bunk + Twin
3rd Floor S Middle Bedroom: Queen
3rd Floor S Bedroom: King + Twin Bunk

Main Floor Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa (just in case!)

This listing is for one side; however, we own both! Stay in both sides of Gulf & Golf, and its a 10 BR accommodating up to 44. Inquire about taking the whole place!

Each kitchen is fully equipped including a dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, TWO fridges, and two icemakers.

Other great features include a sundeck area and covered porch, central air/heat, washer/dryer, televisions, cable, DVD players, and telephone service with free long distance. Towel service is available. There are community grills right across from the home.

Please note: this home is absolutely beachfront. It is located right on the gulf, with nothing between you and the gulf except the sand dunes. However, as with many areas on the gulf, you CANNOT walk directly from the back of this home to the water because of the protected dunes. They serve a very important role in protecting the homes, and harboring wildlife, and walking over them is not allowed as it breaks them down. However, there is a nice wide boardwalk right off our little private cul de sac (in fact, right by the closest of the pools which is ALSO right on our cul de sac, 2 homes over, so "right there"). This short boardwalk takes you directly to the beach/water, and, as a bonus, is great for folks who may have mobility concerns or may be lugging stuff in wagons or what have you! :-)

PLANTATION RESORT. AMENITIES GALORE!
The “Gulf and Golf” is located in the Plantation resort, next to the beautiful 18 hole Kiva Dunes Championship Golf Course. Approximately 12 miles west of Gulf Shores on Fort Morgan Parkway at Gulf Shores Plantation. Same great white sand beaches! Wonderful amenities, and at a great rate!

Kiva Grill and Sassy Bass Island Grill are both in the resort, and less than a half mile walk from this beachfront unit! Food, drink. Ultra convenient!

Amenities on the Plantation grounds include 1 indoor and 6 outdoor swimming pools, whirlpool, lighted tennis courts, basketball court, putting green, game rooms, volleyball, secluded beach, and cabanas. What all is presently available? Let's look!

** Resort wide amenities subject to change, temporary or permanent closure, and are not guaranteed. Sorry!

Located on Fort Morgan, Gulf & Golf is close to many restaurants, golf courses, and other things to do, feels away from it all (but is only a short drive to all the hubbub on Gulf Shores itself), and is often a more cost-efficient choice for those who seek something a little more laid back. Plus, as an added bonus, our Fort Morgan vacation homes are not currently subject to the same restrictions on setting up umbrellas and other amenities overnight as those in Gulf Shores itself.

We offer HUGE discounts for month-long winter stays (up to 80%), a 7 for the price of 6 night special many times of the year (it is already factored into weekly pricing on VRBO!), and if you have a special request, e.g., for a non-Saturday check-in, we are happy to consider it. Please note, generally stays must be Saturday to Saturday during the summer--G&G is just way to popular and busy then to make exceptions. Sorry!

How can I help you? Looking forward to hosting you family or group!

Great for large family with kids
We have a large family with several toddlers and small children. The house was comfortable and location ideal. The pool is close by as well as the beach. The house is well equipped. The property is nice, and we liked having a restaurant onsite for a meal out without packing all the little ones in car seats. Susan was helpful with questions.

Beautiful! No issues.
This townhome was great for my family - very spacious! It was well stocked with utensils and all things needed. The location was absolutely perfect — especially for all the small kids we had - very close to one of many pools and the walk to the beach was only 3-4 minutes.

Perfect house and location
We all had such a great time! The house was great, plenty of room and plenty of bedrooms. Although we spent most of our time outside on the decks. The location is perfect, far enough from the congestion of gulf shores but not that far of a drive. Same goes for the location of the house on the property! Had access to all of the amenities but could go through that fence to have time with just our family! Was the best vacation we had in awhile!

Definitely be back next time!
We had a great time at Gulf and Golf. We do this every three years with all our kids and grandkids. The house was great and accommodating for the 18 of us. The winds were high most of the week with double red flag warnings 3 of the day. Nevertheless we still got some quality beach time. It worked out having access to the pools and amenities of the resort. We will definitely be back next time.[Really glad GG worked well for you all Jim, especially with the days when the red flags were out--lots of options for things to do around the resort when that's the case. Plantation is great for that! Reach out to me or BamaBeachHouses when ready to lock in the return trip. Thanks again!]

Great get away at Gulf & Golf
Our stay was absolutely amazing!! The house was perfect in so many ways. The view, the cleanliness, the space that allowed us all to stay together, the proximity to the beach as well as the pool. Our best friend has overcome a rare form of cancer this last year. On Monday of the trip, he looked at me and told me that he felt the most normal that he has felt in the past year. And, I knew exactly the feeling. That house will forever and always hold some of our families most amazing memories. We only had to reach out to local management once bc the deadbolt was not working. The response was immediate and issue was resolved within an hour. We are sad that life has to go back to normal, but, when we are able to get a date where we can all vacation together again, we will definitely be reaching out.

Awesome beach home!
My group of 12 stayed for 8 days in Gulf and Golf East and loved it. We had age ranges of 1 year old to 57 years old and it was perfect for all. The kitchen was well stocked, which was a plus because we were able to do a grocery pickup the day of arrival and cook most meals in the home...HUGE SAVINGS! So many bathrooms meant no waiting for 'your turn'. Big space, lots of room..and THE VIEWS! Every balcony has a great beach view! Ample parking area for multiple cars. As having alot of kiddos in our group, the safe feel of the resort/nieghborhood left us at ease for letting our teens walk around the pools andto and from the beach without fear... cant put a price on peace of mind! I'll definitely recommend this place for a family or large group looking to stay in a less busy beach area!

Family tradition
When asked to book both Golf & Gulf 13 A&B for next year, there was a resounding "YES"! Some of the younger ones have never been anywhere else. It is our hope the family will carry this tradition forward, even after our tenure is over. Thank you sincerely for making this possible.

Great time!!
We had a great time!! The house is in a great location as it is close to the pool and the boardwalk to the beach. The air conditioner worked great during one of the hottest weeks of the year. There is a great view of the ocean from the porch however the current porch chairs have you sitting eye level with the porch rails. I liked that there were two refrigerators as we used one for drinks and the other for food.... Overall it was a great family vacation!

Great experience
We enjoyed staying in your home, thoroughly. It was an overall great experience. We appreciated the location and the home's amenities and greatly appreciated the pool across the street. Being close to the ocean was our goal and we were thankful for how the home was positioned. It was a great experience in many ways. The management company was responsive the one time we messaged them, so no issues there.

Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!

My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf. Why I like G&G? The Plantation is a great resort community. You get there, and you never have to leave, and yet its only 15 minutes back to Walmart, King Neptunes, and the rest of the Gulf Shores hubbub. The beach? Same beach as the main West Beach drag. In fact, if you are a runner, especially a beach runner, you can run the sands from G&G to West Beach and back. It's only about a mile or so past the end of West Beach Blvd on the sands. You just can't get there in a car because the nice nature preserve is in the between. Great place to stay, with super amenities both in the unit and around the resort.

Location. Location. Location. Right on the beach, AND in a resort community with its own PGA-qualifier course AND multiple pools and hot tub! Much more... Gulf & Golf is well-accommodated, sleeps up to 32 when you stay in both sides (this listing is for the one side but we own both... contact us if you have smaller, or BIGGER, needs). G&G is a great choice if you want the benefits of a home right on the beach but also the niceties of a resort community--but without the condo/hotel vibe.

Plus. Lower lodging taxes! Save 7% AND you can have your drinks and umbrellas on the beach!
