Super Cute and Beachfront

The Highlights

Retreat from it all at this one-story beach front delight! What's the point of staying directly on the beach if you don't have loads of outdoor space. And this home has loads of outdoor living space, both covered and uncovered. Dine, read, gaze at the surf or just relax in a lounger. Your choice! Walk down just a few steps and you are a few steps from the water's edge.

The homeowner is an artist, and you'll appreciate the playful yet serene interior. Guests really appreciate the open floor plan with the kitchen, living and dining areas all in one large space. The living area features a large sectional which provides a great spot for everyone to gather at the end of the day. Watch a movie, play a game or just discuss the adventures of the day. The well-equipped kitchen has all you'll need to prepare simple meals when you choose to dine in. There is seating for everyone at the table and granite breakfast bar.

The primary bedroom features a King-sized bed, balcony access and a private en suite bath. You won't even need to get out of bed to watch the dolphins swim by! There are two additional bedrooms, one with a King bed and one with a Queen as well as a Twin over Full Bunk room. The owner is in the process of adding a twin trundle to the bunk room. These 3 bedrooms share a hall bath with tub/shower combination. For the tiny ones, there is a pack 'n play (bring your own sheets).

If you have a larger group, we have another home that sleeps 8 more, just across the street. It's called Rolf's Crabby Daddy and it has a fantastic view of the lagoon. We would love to share our homes with you and hope to see you soon! Guests are free to use the lagoon access at Crabby Daddy and the guests at Crabby Daddy have permission to use the path to the right of Rolf's Retreat to access the beach.

Main floor: (King) w/ private bath & balcony access -- (King) -- (Queen) -- Bunk (Twin/Full) -- Full Bath

* Renter must be at least 25 years of age. Guests under 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
* Parking for approximately 5 cars, SUVs, or pickup trucks

Great place to stay
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 love Rolf's Retreat. It's our annual beach trip spot for Gulf Shores. The location is perfect, not too busy, close to all the attractions and stores. House is a perfect beach house, not scared to get sandy but also well kept. Bring groceries and extra toilet paper. The beach is beautiful!

Easy Beach Access
Property is great. Only complaint is the AC unit needs replacing. Older heat pump unit just couldn’t cut it on two hot days. Up to 83 during day but was cooler than outside and cooled down overnight. Even that didn’t necessarily hinder our stay. Just walk the 50 yards to the water and problem solved. Not overly crowded beach area at all.

Great Location and Back Deck
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We travel to G.S. each year for a family trip with Aunts and Uncles. The back deck being shaded was a great feature for the older adults. The close walk through the sand to the water was also a plus. We did book in July and struggled to keep the house cool. I don't know if it's an undersized unit or too much heat outside. We had too use box fans to make it through the night. Overall the family loved the house but unless the AC is addressed, we will find another location.

Wonderful stay. Very family friendly.
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: Great location. It seemed like we had a semi-private beach! Could sit on the back deck all day. Family friendly set-up with large central seating area and plenty of seating on the back deck. The other reviews were very helpful in providing details on extra things to bring - dish towels, extra cleaning supplies, etc. Kitchen was well equipped! Would definitely come back!

Rolf’s Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. The house was conveniently located and all rooms were on the main floor. We had plenty of room. It was only a few steps to the beach. It was nicely decorated suited for the beach. There were a couple of things that would have made our stay absolutely perfect. The refrigerator/freezer had a seafood smell that we couldn’t get rid of with baking soda and cleaning. Also it would have been nice to have a Smart TV in the master bedroom, one was in another bedroom. Other than those things, we had a wonderful time. We look forward to going again. Thanks, Lori B

It's steps to the beach and the views are amazing. We had A/C issues this go round but the owners were quick to respond. Overall a lovely home, well stocked and the perfect little beach house.

Wonderful Family Vacation!
We celebrated our daughter’s 16th birthday. We had plenty of room for the 9 of us. It was comfortable! A home away from home! Love the layout of the beach home! Great communication. Had a problem with the air but when reported they were quick in getting out to resolve it. Made lots of family memories! Love how close it is to the beach! Highly recommend! We hope to be back soon! ❤️

PERFECT Beach location for families
We absolutely LOVED Rolf's Retreat for our family beach vacation. The access to the beach was the best we have ever had. The kitchen was well-stocked with any kind of dish or utensil you could need (I loved the labels!) There were plenty of towels for everyone. Everything was bright and beachy and super clean. The wifi worked great, even with several devices attached. The rooms are large. The porch is huge! My recommendation is to get a grocery delivery and be beach bums for your whole stay.

Relaxing and Beautiful Views
This is our second year coming to this property for a friends vacation. We travel with our young children and love that we can let them play on large porches and then easily access the beach without loading everyone up with all our belongings and committing to being on the beach all day. We come and go as we please and watch the waves from the couch inside though the sliding glass doors or from the porch. The property is always clean (although I have forgotten coffee filters both times so heads up to bring those!) and supplied with whatever we need to cook and eat our meals in the property. We love coming here and look forward to returning.
