About this property

Beachfront! Near Town! Views! Heated Pool! 5Bd/3Bth #7

You will absolutely love staying at Blue Parrot #7, which is right on the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Blue Parrot #7 appeared on the TV show "Island Life" (Season 4 Episode 9). This beautiful spacious gulf front 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home sleeps 14 and is complete with everything you need to have a perfect beach vacation. The shared beach front swimming pool with comfortable lounge chairs is perfect for relaxing and playing (pool heater gas charge is $60/day extra). The two beautiful large decks provide uninterrupted breathtaking Gulf views of the sparkling waters and serene sugar white sand. The first level of the home offers a spacious and fully equipped kitchen. The lovely dining table seats eight and a cozy breakfast bar seats four. The large and open living area provides spectacular Gulf front views. (From the pool view, the unit is the right side of the duplex.)

[The exterior was painted from yellow to light turquoise. The video still needs to be updated.]

Inquire for monthly rates in January and February only.

The main level of the home features 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, a dining area and a living room. The first bedroom on the main level has a king size bed and full size bath. The second bedroom on the main level is just off of the kitchen area and has two twin bunk beds. The second level of the home features 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed, a private bath and a private Gulf front deck. The middle bedroom has a queen size bed and the north bedroom has a king size bed and they share a full size bathroom between these two rooms. The layout and design of Blue Parrot #7 are perfect for comfort, privacy and entertaining. Located in the heart of Gulf Shores, only 1.8 miles from Highway 59, Blue Parrot #7 is a perfect beach house with all of the comforts and luxuries of home.

For technology lovers, the home has internet download speeds up to 1 GB and all 6 televisions are HD TVs each with YouTube TV provided and access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.

The unit comes with bed linens (pillow cases, sheets and blankets) and bathroom linens (bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths, and bath mats). Beach towels are not provided. One roll of toilet paper is provided per bathroom. Wash cloths, dish towels, a roll of paper towels, a packet of dish washing detergent and a small bottle of dish washing liquid are provided for the kitchen.

The unit also has a very large ground level storage room we call the "toy room" (see picture). It is stocked with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, beach toys and pool toys for use by guests. This gives you more space in your vehicle during travel since you do not have to bring these items with you. You can also use this room to store your own things so you don't have to carry them inside the living space.

For those with air sensitivities, all the duct work in the attic was recently replaced and the 1st floor duct work was recently cleaned.

A gas grill is provided and the natural gas is provided as well.

We also own the Blue Parrot #8, the other side of this duplex.

The AC does not have a min/max block so you can cool the unit to your desired temperature.

We look forward to hearing from you so we can help you have the greatest beach vacation ever!

Beautiful home
We loved our stay at the house. It was clean, spacious and great location. The quick walk down to the beach was super convenient. Alex was amazing to deal with and always responded promptly. We would definitely come back! Also, the beach closet had everything you would need so save all the packing and take advantage of the convenience of having all the beach and pool supplies provided

Great Family Vacation!
Our multi-generational family of 13 had a great week at this lovely home in Gulf Shores. We had everything we needed including baby items for the 10 month old. The beach toy closet was very helpful for pool floats, beach chairs, etc. it was so convenient to be so close to the beach and to have the pool. We made lots of great memories this week.

4 generations trip
We had a wonderful time staying at the Blue Parrot #7. The place was very clean. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook for 11 people. Plenty of bath towels for everyone to use. The toy closet under the stairs had everything we needed to enjoy our days at the beach. We paid extra to have to pool heated and it was well worth it!! The owner was very pleasant and was very fast on responding to emails. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!!

Amazing House & Location
The house was clean and exactly as expected per the pictures in the listing. We stayed with another family and had plenty of space for everyone here. The location is perfect - on the beach and less than a 5 minute drive to tons of restaurants and shops. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and appliances. The beds are comfortable. The kids had so much fun in the pool and playing in the sand. It was really nice to have toy closet full of beach & pool toys. We did buy some pool noodles and left them for the next visitors! We really hope to visit again!

Wonderful experience!
We absolutely loved every bit of our stay! The house was exactly as pictured and exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was stocked well, the beds were comfy, and we had plenty of room for our family to spread out. Having a huge refrigerator was also nice. Normally the fridges in our beach rentals have been small but this one was huge and we had so much room. The toy closet was amazing! It was so nice to not have to pack extra items. We were immediately next to beach access and having a pool was amazing. The only worry I had was that our noise would disturb our duplex neighbors but we never had any issues with noise from either side. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This place was perfect for our family. We like to vacation every two years, and this place is our new stay!! Alex made check-in & check-out easy. The house had everything we needed. It was a perfect location, just on the beach. Having a pool was also great for the little kids. The “beach closet” had everything and more!! It was great not having to bring beach chairs, beach umbrellas, sand toys, and floats. 10/10
