This listing is for Gulf & Golf at the Plantation West, we also own the Gulf & Golf at the Plantation East, or you can book them together as a 10BR as Gulf & Golf at the Plantation East & West!

PLUS... Lower lodging taxes! Save 10% 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 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!

Wonderful location, excellent communication
We have taken many beach trips, this was our first time staying in the Gulf Shores Plantation. The family loves tennis, so the tennis and pickleball courts right on the property was a welcome bonus. We also enjoyed relaxing in the several pools as well as access to the workout room. The winner is the beach. This seems to be a less crowded area of Fort Morgan. Even though we were there during peak summer season, the beach never felt crowded. Beach access is just a short walk from this unit. This property is exactly as described with a wonderful view right on the beach. We saw wild animals in the dunes between the house and the coast. Excellent communication with the property owner. There was one slight problem where we couldn't find the access keys for the gym and bands for pool, but that was quickly resolved. Overall a wonderful, relaxing vacation.

Summer vacation at Gulf & Golf
The house was great. There were a couple small things that you may want to have someone look at. I didn't say anything about it because they were manageable. The detergent container box in the dishwasher is broken and won't stay shut (solvable by just throwing in detergent in dishwasher). There is also a light in the first floor bedroom bathroom that doesn't appear to be screwed in correctly and is hanging loosely. Overall the house was fantastic.

Family time at the beach
We had a great time at Gulf and Golf West! It is a lovely condo…and we especially loved being right on the beach. Everyone felt your home was GREAT!....This is very important!!!---My daughter in law was arrived first and she commented that she was afraid to walk in because the condo WAS SO CLEAN!!!! Your people there did a great job with everything! Haleigh was especially WONDERFUL! She is absolutely one of the best we have seen...We are VERY Impressed! Your team was there taking care of the discolored water before we even noticed it. Also, they were back from time to time to keep checking on it…and anything else they felt needed looking after. We appreciated their professional attention. Unfortunately, we can't book ahead and "bounceback" yet as we are working with a son and daughter-in-law who teach in different cities, and we never know ahead what dates their next year Spring Breaks will be but believe me we will reach out to Bama Beach Houses for our return--we would love to save the money! We won't know for a few motnhs. We had a great time with joy and love in your home…and it all was greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Beautiful Home
This was the first time my family decided to stay in a house, and we couldn’t have made a better decision on where to stay. This house is in a prime location, and the view was spectacular! The walk to the boardwalk and pool was easy, and my family enjoyed our time so much. We are appreciative to the homeowners for allowing us to stay! They were responsive to all our questions, and made our stay all the more pleasant.

Great location, private, beautiful view, don’t pass on this!
This house was amazing to our family! We had a group of 18, (10 adults 8 kids ages from 16yr-4yrs old.) The house was very clean on arrival and plenty of seating and beds to accommodate a large number. The kitchen was well equipped with supplies. The company sent advanced emails with check in and out information that you need. The pool and beach area was within very short walking distance, they offer so many amenities in this location it’s truly amazing for all ages! It’s extremely quiet location (no road sound or sires) minimum vehicle movement w the houses near by and even when we had neighbors it was still peaceful! We will definitely be returning to this location! Extremely pleased with our stay!

10/10 place and recommend it to anyone!
This was a very nice place for a big group as it easily slept 19 people.... it was a perfect size and comfortably fit everyone. The area is nice and clean with an amazing location as well. The house is within a resort, but has a neighborhood feel since it is not by the condos. The other plus is that you have access to all the amenities of the resort. 10/10 place and recommend it to anyone!

We were very happy and would return
We were very happy with the home and the location. The neighborhood, location, and proximity to/on the beach were all great. We appreciate that the guard station staff were friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed many of the neighborhood amenities including the fitness center and hot tub. The house is good and accommodated our group well. The unit itself seems well-maintained.

LOVED Gulf & Golf at the Plantation
We loved the house. And our time there. It was great weather and we spent the majority of our time on the beach. The house was perfect. So much room and had everything we needed. The location is perfect also. We love fort Morgan for its quiet beaches. The kids we had with us also enjoyed the pool.

Our group had a great time at your home. It met our needs perfectly. The resort was excellent and a great benefit to our stay. The pools, the hot tub, the beach access were perfect. As a reminder, we had a college women's tennis team, a team mom, and myself in the home, it was perfect for our stay. Maybe the entire house next time!

Loved the home
Great stay. We loved your home. Appreciated the cleaning products for kitchen and laundry- nice touch. I would give some better instructions on how to use the door lock. Code was initially a problem but even then, if management company hadn't told me to put my palm across the entire lock face to get the numbers to show up I wouldn't have known how to work it. I loved the storm- the lightening was beautiful! I imagine we'll be back- it was a fantastic trip!

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!
