Sand Trap

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A classic beach retreat in every sense, Sand Trap is a place for swimming, surfing, and enjoying annual family vacations in a memorable beachfront setting. Here on the scenic coast of Gulf Shores, you'll have a spacious porch overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and a private boardwalk leading you to the sugar-white sand.


This open and breezy house is an ideal escape for beach-goers - a place where you can walk a few steps home from the beach for an afternoon nap or a homemade lunch. The great room was seemingly designed for entertaining, offering a sitting area with leather furnishings and a large flatscreen TV, a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and space to dine at both the breakfast bar and the adjacent table. Outside on the deck, you'll find a picnic table and a high-top table for al fresco appetizers, meals, and cocktails.


This gulf-front home is perfectly placed if you're looking to explore the many attractions of Gulf Shores. The bustling public beach area is three miles east, where you'll find a wide variety of restaurants, beach bars, ice cream parlors, and activities for all ages. Beautiful Gulf State Park is only four miles east as well.

Wonderful Beach View
This was a wonderful place for us to stay. Loved the back porch and the furniture. Just wished there was a grill for use. Only issue was our 83 year old mother was unable to be comfortable on the furniture due to the sits being deep and worn out.

Gulf Shores Vacation
We had a great time. The house was clean and ready to go when we arrived. Location was within 5-10 min to all the activities we wanted to do. Separate ice maker was a great addition for the kitchen for making up coolers to go down to the beach. Would highly recommend this property.

All the comforts of home!
We have stayed at the Sand Trap several different years & always were very satisfied. My husband, who passed away a year ago, loved setting on the deck while the rest of us were in the water. In fact, we took some of his ashes & sprinkled them in the sand. He would be so happy.

Winter getaway
Gulf shores is pretty quiet during the winter, but this house was perfect for a quiet getaway. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The fridge was big enough for food/drinks/etc. The location was close enough for affordable uber rides. Other reviews mentioned to bring blankets since the beds don't have comforters, that is still true. The only thing is, and it's not the fault of the house, there's a dredging pipe from the canal nearby that runs in front of the house. It wasn't a problem for my group, but it may interrupt views if it's still there during the beach season. Other than that though, the beach and view is great. I'd definitely come back.

Great location!
The sand trap was such a great little house! Pros:* big ice maker that made enough ice for the whole family, coolers, drinks, etc. this was a huge help! * lots of space , beds, bathrooms. *plenty of kitchen pots, pans, plates, and utensils. * such a good spot on the beach. Not as crowded as the area with the condos. Very quiet area and such a convenient private deck out to beach. Cons: *only got 2 trash bags, not enough towels to last a day of showers, only 2 dish washing pods, no coffee pods provided. *dryer doesn’t dry very fast. It took several sessions to get the load of towels to dry all the way. *there was a large roach in the kitchen one night we think got in the door from the deck. There were several seen on the deck. *vaccum didn’t work well which was a bummer because the sand tracked in was crazy! *only two usb outlets available in kitchen. *livingroom tv kept switching to the Roku menu every 2 minutes which was very frustrating. * there were no blankets on the beds. Only a few coverlets in the closets. — overall this was a great place to stay! Gulf Shores had so much to do and to eat! This house was great for our family who were in town for a baseball tournament.

You really can't beat this property! We loved the views , plenty of room, the kitchen was well stocked with supplies, and my husband loved the paved driveway! (he rides his bicycle a lot while we are there so sandy driveways are not good !!)

Great home, beautiful views...just a few IMPORTANT things missing!
The house was almost perfect. The location, perfect! The size, perfect! Kitchen, perfectly so well equipped (needed a blender but not a huge priority to us.) Laundry was nice to wash sandy towels. Boardwalk was nice to the beach. Bedroom spacing was perfect. HUGE PROBLEM WAS BEDDING! I should have known as I read this complaint in a recent review and thought for sure they fixed it. Shame on me, or should I say shame on them! A top sheet and a textured sheet does not count as blankets. Not one bed had a blanket. Not one to be found in the house. Even cheap hotel rooms have blankets. We paid $5100 for the week, and requested a blanket when we got there, and were told the property did not provide blankets as an amenities. HUGE problem for someone who flies in. You can't exactly pack a comforter on a flight. Very disappointed, as rest and relaxation is the whole purpose of vacation. Needless to say we did not get ONE good night sleep while there. Also, a gas grill would have been nice. Who doesn't love to grill a steak or a burger on vacation. Not an option there. The one they had there and no propane tank and it was disgusting. Also, plan on going to the store. You are literally given a "starter" set of paper towel and toilet paper. A little disappointing. Finally, for the amount of money to retain the house for the week, I'm sure the owners could shell out a few bucks and provide some beach chairs.

Perfect stay
Clean, perfect location, house was well kept. No rental is perfect, and there are always dislikes, but I was overall very pleased. My only complaint is the bed covers. They are more like table cloths. BYOB. (Blanket).

Loved Sand Trap!
This was the perfect place for our fam of 6 adults and 4 kids. The high top table and chairs on the deck was a particular favorite for hanging outside and staring at the ocean. The personal boardwalk to the beach was convenient, kitchen was well stocked, and beds were comfortable. The place was cozy and perfect.

We had a beautiful week. This is our 2nd time at Sand Trap and the house is wonderful…sitting out on the porch looking at the Gulf was so special…loved that the large porch is half covered, made sitting out anytime great. We’d highly recommend!!

Great Layout, Not Great Customer Service
The good: This house has a wonderful layout with good separation between bedrooms and nice bathroom layouts (separate shower room, toilet room). The kitchen is well supplied with utensils, pots & pans, etc. and I love how they all match! The bad: 1. There was no flexibility for an early check-in. 2. There was absolutely nothing even like salt and pepper or coffee filters in the house. (There was soap, tp, etc, just nothing food related.) 3. House has no extra blankets! If you have several people with differing temperature needs, you cannot adjust for this. If you rent it, bring extra blankets. Vacasa - please ask the owner to consider this very basic amenity - sufficient bedding.

Nice house and good beach view and access. No beach chairs or barbecue pit. Actually, they told me there was no barbecue pit, when there really was one, but it had left-over crud on the grills and you would not want to use it.
