This pristine, beachy retreat is just a few steps away from the shore, boasting spectacular views from the furnished private balcony! And with two bedrooms, an open living room, and enough space for up to six guests, this home is perfect for families and groups of friends. Guests will have access to two shared outdoor pools during their stay. Stretch out on the spacious couch to enjoy a favorite DVD movie on the wall-mounted flatscreen cable TV with lots of microwave popcorn. Head out to the private balcony to enjoy an alfresco meal prepared in the full kitchen, and don't forget to crack open a few bottles of locally crafted beer from Big Beach Brewing. After spending a whole afternoon playing in the surf, come back to rinse off the sand with the outdoor shower.

This home is centrally located in Gulf Shores and is only a mile from The Hangout for delicious food and live entertainment. In this same area, you'll find several other restaurants and plenty of shopping right on the beach. Visit the Gulf State Park Pier for fishing and people-watching, or head into the neighboring park for hiking trails, beach access, and zip lines, all less than three miles from your front door.

Loved our stay

Cute little place to stay with all amenities. Nice and clean when we got there and a sheet on the instructions on what to do when we check out. The tv worked and internet, our last place we couldn’t get the downstairs tv to work with internet. Would recommend staying and booking with this company

Gulf getaway

Property was very clean but needs a lot of maintenance. Outside light didn’t work, outside rug was torn and could trip someone, threshold from hall to guest bedroom was missing, master shower didn’t drain well, fan in guest room didn’t have a chain to turn off or reduce speed, microwave door was broke. Also a note on the fridge said that an additional 25 charge would be applied if garbage wasn’t taken out and you have to cross a 4 lane road to do that.

First vacation family of 6

This was a lovely little place so close to the beach. We had 4 boys with us and we loved sitting on the front porch and being able to see the ocean and people watch. The bedrooms were perfect size. Everything was clean. Thank you so much for letting us stay and experience our first vacation in 3 years

Spacious and private.

Loved how large the master bedroom was and the bed was nice. Only problem is the steps leading to the house, pretty tight and old.

Cute place right off the beach. Convenient location. There are no showers/hose to rinse off the sand when you come in from the beach so keep that in mind.

Overall great stay

Overall, we had a great stay here! The only down-side was that parking was a little difficult (we drove a minivan), and the stairs need updating. Everything else was spot on! We definitely will be back!!

Great location

The condo is in a great location and was clean. The only negative thing about this condo is that trash pick up comes at 4am and you can hear the dumpsters and the trash truck. Its extremely loud and woke us up each morning. The hot water lasts a total of 5 mins if more than 1 person needs to shower.

Beach location but run down, not going back

Do not take small kids here, there are nails sticking up everywhere on the 2 story deck. First impression... sitting in the vacant parking lot on the tailgate, off season, a guy comes up & asks where's our parking pass. I said we check in at 4 is it ok to sit here. He says "Well I guess it is now!" Not a soul around, seriously we were the ONLY vehicle there. Thats how our vacation started. Pros: On the beach, Market & restaurants within walking distance, Good amount of space, Courtesy detergent, soap & shampoo Cons: Run down, Paint pealing, Vanities rotten, 1 shower broken, Freezer doesn't freeze. Deck & 2 flights of stairs are dilapidated.

Beach stay

Fabulous access to beach- great bed set up and two bathrooms! A/C and fridge quit working though management was quick to fix. Very loud garbage truck every day around 4:30 am. Pool across a busy street meant we never used it; also no hot tub. Great stay overall, especially if you just want to do the beach the whole time.

The only thing keeping this from one star is the proximity to the beach

I have never stayed anywhere where I had to unload the dishwasher from the prior guests. When we first arrived we noticed that the carpet on the deck is ripped to shreds. Then as we entered we noticed the sand everywhere (it’s the beach, you can’t get it all but this was excessive. Then we saw a gummy on the floor by the couch, a peanut on the floor by the kitchen table and hair on the floor in one of the bathrooms. Our door code was changed on our second day with no notice at all. And don’t plan on getting much sleep because the trash truck for the condominiums on both sides of the lani Kai come at 4:30 am with the loudest reverse alarm I’ve ever heard.
