About this property

Stunning beachfront duplex w/ Pool!!

Highlights

Breathtaking!!! Rest Area East has the best of both worlds. The charming beachfront duplex is just steps from the water's edge, but it also has a refreshing pool. The living, dining and kitchen area open onto a screened porch that overlooks the pool and beach. Rest Area East comfortably accommodates up to 18 happy vacationers. Imagine yourself relaxing poolside while gazing at the surf! Pro-Tip: Stock up on all your favorites beverages because this house has two full size refrigerators!

The Space

Rest Area East has got it all! You and your guests will love all the space and amenities. You'll be able to chill in the living area where you can watch the large screen TV or play family games all while taking in the breathtaking views through the expansive windows. There is also a sleeper sofa. Everyone's invited to dinner as the massive dining table seats 14 with an additional four seats at the kitchen counter. The family cook will appreciate the full kitchen. Stainless steel appliances and granite counters complete this updated kitchen. Guests really appreciate the bar area with an icemaker as well as a second full sized refrigerator.

There is a sweet, "beachy" queen bedroom with private full bath (which also open to the hall) on the main floor. Also on this first level is a convenient half bath.

The screened in porch will provide even more space and seating for meals, games and gorgeous views of the beach and pool. You'll have the best of both worlds should you choose to dine al fresco! Spend some time at the beach, then take a dip in the refreshing beach front pool or enjoy sunbathing on the comfortable lounge chairs.

Head upstairs and you'll find an additional living area with a sleeper sofa and large screen TV that's perfect for the kiddos. Two delightful King bedrooms are sure to bestow a tranquil space to unwind and relax. You'll wake each morning to spectacular views of the gulf! Both King rooms sport televisions for late night shows or the morning news. One King room has a private bath and the second King room and a Queen room share a Jack and Jill bath. There is second Queen bedroom and a bunk room with two sets of twin over twin bunks that share a full hall bath. Rest Area also provides a washer, dryer and outdoor shower.

While we make every effort to keep the pool operational and available for use, sometimes issues outside our control arise and the pool may not be available for use for all or part of a stay.

Main Floor: Queen bedroom w/ full bath (also accessible from hall); 1/2 bath
2nd Floor: King bedroom w/ private bath & balcony access; King bedroom with balcony access and Jack and Jill bathroom; Queen bedroom w/ Jack and Jill bathroom; Queen Bedroom; Twin/Twin & Twin/Twin bunks: Full Hall Bath; Sofa bed

Fort Morgan

Located a scenic 20 miles from Gulf Shores, you'll find everything you need close at hand. Dollar General and Sassy Bass Market are just a few miles away and have all the basics you might need. There are several restaurants nearby offering a variety of tasty dishes. Tacky Jack's, Sassy Bass (2 locations), Coast and brand-new Jesse's (opening soon) to name a few. Some venues even offer live, local entertainment.

Fort Morgan fishing pier is now open, and anglers will have access to convenient inshore fishing and the abundant species locally available.

Be sure and visit nearby Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge with over 7,000 acres of coastal habit. You'll be able to hike through the preserve and observe local flora and fauna. There are 4 trails, varying in size and terrain and you'll definitely want to make time to visit this natural oasis.

Long, Relaxing Weekend
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a perfect place to enjoy time away from the crazy busy beach crowds! Plenty of room to spread out and rest, rock on the screened-in porch, or have large family meals. The accommodations are lovely! This area reminds me of old (70s) Destin. The only thing unexpected is all the oil rigs in the Gulf...but even they are beautiful lit up at night.

Amazing Stay on the Beach
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place was just as advertised. Right on the beach, pool, plenty of space to enjoy as a large family. Dining room table provided plenty of seating along with the living room all. Best of all, very private and literally right on the beach. The house was constructed with high end materials. We would defiantly come back and stay again.

The BEST vacation ever!
We had the greatest time! The house was AMAZING! The view when you walk in is breathtaking! Rooms are beautiful. Beach was GORGEOUS. Our 11yo loved sitting on the balcony and watching the dolphins. Our boys(14 and 15) had a blast looking at all the crabs at night(there were so many). All three kids loved the pool and snorkeling everyday! You also aren’t that far from all of the fun of Gulf Shores! This is the perfect location if you want a fun, no fuss, beautiful family vacation!

Great Week at the Beach
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful, and exactly as pictured. The kitchen was well stocked, and having the extra refrigerator as well as an ice maker in the bar area is such a nice feature. For our large group, it was such a treat to be able to all sit together at the large dining table. Property managers were pleasant to deal with, and quickly addressed our minor concerns. The pool and surrounding areas are well maintained, and it was nice to have some bonus pool toys, boogie boards there as well. The beach area is not crowded at all, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Would definitely stay here again!

Great spot
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Rest Area East with several families and we also rented the attached unit next door. It was a prime set-up for large groups. I'm not sure I'd be interested in renting only one side but it's probably fine. The house is extremely well equipped. I was a little bummed that there wasn't a gas grill but they did have a usable charcoal grill which worked fine. I noticed that everyone around there seemed to be using charcoal so maybe that's a thing. My only recommendation would be to add dish towels and dish rags. We had to buy some and just left them there. In the scheme of things not a huge issue. There are tons of beach toys there which I imagine gets added to by guests. Bring your own beach chairs. Loved the deck and pool and the ramp down to the beach was perfect. I'd stay there again.

Loved the duplex and pool. The beach was close enough for a 75 year old with 4 artificial joints to go to the beach and back. All the family loved the huge long table that fit all of us!!!! We enjoyed it very much!! The Skipper’s

Large Family Get Together
This Beach House was an absolutely perfect vacation spot for our large family. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the views of the Gulf and the pristine white sand beach. The house itself was spacious and had all the amenities we could have asked for. The location was perfect for us, as it was just a short drive from Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, but far enough away to feel like we had our own private oasis.

The shower outside made it easy to clean off before going in. Plenty of room. The pool was ideal for the kids and had toys. Not many people around on the beach. The beach also had a volleyball net. Will definitely book again!

Misleading
First, there was nothing in the listing that indicated this was a shared property. There are 2 sides to this home. So… you share parking. But most of all you share the pool. Disappointed to say the least. 39 people sharing a small pool. I do t think so. Next is cleanliness. Being at the beach you would expect sand to be an issue. But not when you check in. The entire lower floor was gritty and sandy. Obviously no one cleaned under any furniture. One roll of toilet paper per bathroom, no extra. The downstairs bathroom had 1/2 a roll. One partial roll of paper towels. We have short term rentals. Imperative for comfort to have extra. Disappointed at best.

Nice place
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed the house. It was large, has a good floor plan, and was in a nice location. The only thing I would change is that I wish the pool were heated, so that we could have gone swimming without being cold during out stay since it was upper 70's/low 80'sF outside, but the water was still a little too cool to stay in the pool long.

Wonderful family vacation spot!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was wonderful - everyone had a bedroom (and bed!) who needed one, and the individual families were able to sleep near one another. The beach access was super convenient - just down the ramp from the back deck. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need for older kids and adults. Having 2 refrigerators was great, and the tables were able to seat everyone at once, which was also nice! With the beach and the pool, you wouldn't think you'd need anything else to do, but the cards, games, and books provided were also super helpful for those family evenings in. The house was clean and well organized, and we would definitely stay again!

Family Vacay
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was great. The house was gorgeous and had plenty of space for our large family. It was very clean and well maintained. The staff messaged me upon arrival and was quick to respond. They also messaged me throughout the trip with warnings of jellyfish and how to treat a sting. I thought that was great and very helpful. My only issue was that there were a few nails sticking up in the deck around the pool that we stepped on a few times. And the biting flies were horrible. (Not a house issue). We soon heard from a local that the flies were bad around this time of year. Which was good to know for future trip planning. I will say it was about a 30 minute drive to get to town for places to eat or to the grocery store. Which really wasn’t a big issue seeing as how most of our time was spent on the beach and staying in. But if you’re someone that likes to go out about every night you’ll have to figure in how much time it will take to get there since some places close early. All in all we would love to stay in this house again. It was perfect for our family. Very clean, great amount of space, and perfectly homey/cozy. The two refrigerators and the ice maker was definitely a perk for me! As well as the huge kitchen table, open floor plan, and rocking chairs on the screened in porch. We can’t wait for our next beach trip at Rest Area East.

2022 Family Vacation
Our family loved so much about this property. It has enough space for a large family to spread out when needed. The pool was very nice & the proximity to the beach made it easy to go back & forth frequently throughout the day. Overall was a great place. The only thing I would have changed is to have a few 'staples' like coffee, sugar.... All of the other VRBOs we have used in the past have had a small amount of these things to get us started. One even had a welcome basket with snacks. We did find a great little store just down the road to pick up a few things & we were able to get groceries delivered to the house. But definitely would go back to this one. It is a great area.

Love This Gorgeous House on the Beach
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our fourth year renting this beautiful home. We love it! The home is large and comfortable and perfectly located right on the beach. The management company was great- checked in with us and were very accessible. We didn't need anything but it was clear they were available if we did. The only suggestion I have for improvement is to have someone come in and clean out broken beach supplies and clean up along the side of the house. There were tons of toys and supplies left by prior guests, but some of the stuff was broken, and with the constant (delightful!) wind, there was trash and construction debris lying along the side of the house. We cleaned some of it up, but having someone come regularly to clean the area up would be great. Regardless, we love this house and hope to be back again next year. We highly recommend this company and this house!

Peaceful
Beautiful house with pool directly on the beach without all the chaos of Orange Beach/Gulf Shores. Great amenities! House is showing wear on the deck. There were spindles missing that could turn into a huge problem if someone were to fall. The deck around the pool is sagging in areas and again could cause a huge problem if someone fell through. The bathroom upstairs (bunk room) has clearly had water damage between the sink and shower. There was mold present. Not trying to pick but when you pay that much money for that short of time, you do not expect to find these things. Overall we were very pleased with the location, house and amenities. Great family vacation for our big group.
