About the host
Hosted by Tom Ackley
We are from the frozen tundra that is Wisconsin. After visiting the area with our family, we fell in love with this side of Gulf Shores. We wanted a beach house so we could relax in the white sand with our children as they grow up and look forward to helping your family create memories here!
Why they chose this property
We purchased this beach house because our family enjoys traveling to Gulf Shores, exploring its beaches and wildlife, visiting all the attractions it has to offer and simply getting away from home.
What makes this property unique
This property offers a perfect beach getaway just a 7-minute walk from Surfside Shores Beach, featuring charming nautical decor and versatile outdoor spaces like a bench swing, colorful Adirondack chairs, and a shaded patio. Enjoy starlit barbecues on the gas grill and take advantage of the pet-friendly policy and TVs in every bedroom. With ample boat parking, a nearby public ramp to Mobile Bay, and proximity to the top-rated Kiva Dunes golf course, it caters to both relaxation and adventure.
