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.

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!

Attentive owners.... looking forward to coming back!

We have rented many beach units over the years and I must say your group is the most attentive we have ever experienced, including the chocolate treat you sent over. Looking forward to returning in the future!

Great place!!!

Peaceful and relaxing overlooking the ocean. The home was very clean and the few times we needed help the bama beach houses folks were fast and we didn't ever need the local management company they use too. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!

This house is absolutely amazing. We stayed here in 2021 with our entire family, we could not have asked for a better place. It fit our family perfectly. Plenty of space and the view and access to the beach was awesome. Of all the places our family has stayed in Gulf Shores, this house is by far our favorite.

Awesome family vacation!

We had a wonderful time in the Plantation resort at this home. Clean, comfortable. Fit our large group really well. Was nice to be able to let the kids spread out across the resort amenities too. We hope to come back again in the future. Thanks for helping us make memories!

Great place right on the beach. Great owners too!

Loved loved loved Gulf & Golf. My family rented both sides of this home and had it to ourselves. We had plenty of rooms for everyone, and TWO kitchens and living rooms, which was particularly nice to 'divide and conquer' :-) We enjoyed using several of the resort pools and the tennis courts too. Owners were very responsive and accommodating, even let us move our stay when we had some issues... We will be back! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Great stay at Gulf & Golf

We had a great time. The location is awesome. Watch out for the scalding hot water temperatures. We had to buy a couple pillows because most of the pillows were super thick. [Thanks Nathan! Glad you all had a wonderful time in our home. I'm not sure which reservation is yours, since the name doesn't match up, but I really appreciate it. And I will have the water heater checked. Sometimes they get set up higher by folks who 'run out' of hot shower water. Pillows. Pillows and beds are such a personal preference. Like you, I'm not a fan of the really firm pillows, but on the flip side, I really like very firm mattresses--can't sleep on soft ones! But.. to each, his or her own. I always try to just bring my pillows and strongly suggest that to others so you have what you love. Thanks again, and please don't hesitate to reach out directly to me or via bamabeachhouses.com for my home. Thanks again!]

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 10% compared to similar places in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach jurisdictions where they tax a LOT more!
