About this property

Gulf Front Beach House ~ Huge Decks And Water Views ~ Sugar Sand Beach!

Escape to the sugar white sands of Gulf Shores, Alabama! Don't walk to the beach, stay on it and enjoy the sound of the surf and the spectacular view of the ocean from the private decks on the main level or upper level. Home is away from the hustle & bustle of high-rises, located in a quiet area on the beach. The location is great for family activities. Pets are only allowed with prior approval and we do Not allow Smoking. Please visit Fun Spot Beach House on Facebook for direct contact.

This home has three master suites with Gulf-front sun decks plus two other bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 9' ceilings, ceramic tile flooring, wood flooring, ceiling fans, and den area/playroom upstairs for the kids. Crown molding in every room, granite counter tops in the kitchen, cultured counter tops in the bathrooms, and much more.

This fully-equipped, Non-Smoking house has all of the conveniences of home. It is conveniently located approximately 3 miles from downtown Gulf Shores just across the bridge to Little Lagoon on highly desirable West Beach. The house is located on the absolute best beach area on West Beach. Gulf Shores small town atmosphere makes your visit to the beach comfortable and easy. Spend the afternoon browsing boutiques, gift shops and galleries, or hunt for name-brand bargains at local outlet stores. The Riviera Center, one of the South's largest factory outlet malls is only a few miles away in Foley, Alabama. Especially for the kids and young adults, Gulf Shores now has the newest amusement park on the Gulf Coast since Six Flags in New Orleans was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Gulf Shores is Alabama's best-kept secret and brightest jewel. The beaches are magnificent, sparkling white sand and there is never a shortage of fun, sun and surf on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

The easy, breezy, carefree atmosphere and subtropical climate makes it a year round destination for your family vacation or a romantic get away.

Since we are on the Gulf of Mexico we are blessed with an abundance of fresh seafood. Last night's or this morning catch will be your dinner. Treat your palate to the unlimited array of exquisite, mouth-watering seafood dishes at anyone of the many fine restaurants on the island. If you are hungry for something other than seafood you can tickle your taste buds with Cajun Creole, Barbecue, Italian, Oriental and good old down home cooking. You can feel assured that you will find the perfect ambiance and food to suit your fancy.

Listen to the sound of the surf as you go to sleep. Unwind and release the tension as you hear the waves roll over the sand inviting you to dream about the coastal paradise and magical beauty of Gulf Shores.

Tee it up at one of the 10 challenging golf courses with-in a 30-minute drive from where you are staying.

Christmas on the Beach

We had a great time staying at this property. Everything on the listing was accurate and the house fit our needs perfectly. We had 9 people staying and it was not cramped. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The weather was a little chilly but sitting on the deck in the sun took care of that. The owners were great to work with.

Beach Bliss

Great location, full of nature swimming by (dolphins) and birds dive bombing for fish. Very comfortable lodging and easy access to the beach. Outside furnishings and sliding glass doors to the deck could use some attention. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Great for short term family get-a-way.

Kids loved being able to walk to the beach and having a TV room to go to when the weather was bad. Only drawbacks were lack of kitchen ware (no non-stick skillet or baking sheets) and a water leak in the north kitchen window during a rainstorm.

Cute and Quant

My family and I decided on Fun Spot for this year's Thanksgiving stay. The reservation process was very simple and convenient. The property was very spacious and not so cluttered. The amenities were precise.l, however the only issue was a lot of the dishes weren't previously cleaned. Overall it was a very pleasant stay!

Awesome house!

My family had a wonderful time staying here. The house was clean and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. We did have a problem with the refrigerator and the owner had someone come over to repair it. The extra bathrooms were a bonus for our big group. The beds were also comfortable, unlike some of the other rentals we had stayed it. Overall, a great time!

Great location

We enjoyed this property! Plenty of room for our group of 12. Bathroom with each bedroom was a wonderful asset. Plenty of linens . Washer and dryer was newer and handled all our laundry needs. Great location with plenty of parking. Only negative for us was the extra checkin duties of stopping at the rental agency to sign more paperwork, I feel this can be done online or thru email. It was cumbersome! All in all we had a great week and would recommend this property.

Great location and plenty of room!

The owner was wonderful…I made him aware the cleaning crew could have done a better job abd he wanted me to send him a list of anything that needed attention in the home. He really cares about his guests enjoying their stay. The kitchen is also very well stocked but bring your own coffee filters or you’ll be using a paper towel for a coffee filter the first morning of your arrival. Had a great time and would stay here again!

Better than Great

The property was outstanding in every respect. There was plenty of room for our group of 12. The property is well-supplied and the abundance of towels was greatly appreciated. The beach is very convenient and sitting on the deck every evening and watching the light changing on the Gulf was incredible. Bobby was easy to communicate with and willing to deal with “dumb” questions with patience and grace. He is an outstanding host/owner. We would rent this property again without any hesitancy.

Great Family House

We had a wonderful time on vacation and the house was great....we had 9 people and an infant and couldn't of asked for a better place. Loved the fully equipped kitchen and the spacious bedrooms. There was plenty of room in the living room for us to gather and watch the college world series and basketball playoffs. We would definitely stay again. The view was beautiful and the property was clean and organized well. Very tastefully furnished. It was a GREAT week.

Great family beach experience

We are grandparents with 3 adult children with their families. This property has 3 master suites with beach views & deck access and five bathrooms which are huge pluses for our family. We have already booked a trip for next year. It is a great location- only a few steps away from west lagoon pass.

A wonderful month on the beach!

We rented this home for a month. During the month, we celebrated Christmas and New Years. It was great! It had plenty of room for all of us to stay and spread out. We had 3 grown boys and our grown daughter as well as my mother, cousin, my husband, and myself for the week of Christmas. We all had a blast. Great table for playing games and of course eating. The Kitchen was well stocked. The location was perfect. You can’t beat the beach right off the back porch. We had many days of seeing the Blue Angels practice formations right in front of the house. It is a thrill every single time. The owner, Bobby, was fantastic to work with. Being at the home a month, things come up. Bobby was quick to reply and very helpful. My family and I will be staying again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Bobby Hagler

My wife and I have two children, a daughter (32) and a son (29). We live in Tuscaloosa, AL and all graduated form that school located there that some people love and some people hate (ROLL TIDE!). My wife is in the medical profession, I am retired military and retired public works director. Our son and daughter are both in the medical profession. We love the outdoors and were blessed to be able to acquire this property.

Why they chose this property

We loved the location. It has a very large beach area and is located next to the Little Lagoon Bridge. Good fishing area and great place for the kids and entertainment.
