About this property

Best of the Gulf and Lagoon!

Enjoy the incredible beauty of daily sunrises and sunsets from our spacious, relaxing beaches at our little slice of Heaven. With 1,280 square feet of renovated luxury, a spacious den, dining area, two large bedrooms, and three private balconies, this unit has it all. New comfortable furniture, three large HD TVs, and a dining table that can easily seat 6. The breakfast bar is also a great place to chat while cooking and visiting with friends.

The master bedroom is located on the second floor with a king size bed, 32' HD tv, private bath and private balcony. The guest bedroom has two full beds and is also located on the second floor with private bath, 32' HD tv and a beautiful private balcony as well. The new kitchen is fully stocked for a chef with utensils, spices, blender, coffeemaker, etc. The unit runs east/west with wonderful vistas of Little Lagoon and the Gulf of Mexico from every room.

Summer House West also has a small beach area on the lagoon at the rear of the property with a large fishing pier, which is wonderful for families with small children, and a gazebo for grilling or just watching the spectacular sunsets over the water. Our swimming pool is always the perfect temperature for a dip and the Gulf of Mexico is only steps away on our deeded beach access across the street. West Beach is a quieter area of Gulf Shores but just a few minutes from all the action.

This property truly has the best of both worlds - the amazing white sands and crystal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, scenic Little Lagoon, and a pier for fishing and water activities - come experience Summer House West!

Just perfect
The place was perfect, beds were comfortable, the building was well built so even with neighbors and windy days,we heard nothing. We enjoyed the options of the beach,the lagoon and the swimming pool on days which were a little cool. We were having issues with vrbo and he was very helpful with that as well as any questions we had about the unit. We highly recommend this place.

Very nice beach condo
We were with a very large group that had a house across the street. This unit was very close and perfect for us. The host was exceptionally easy to communicate with and responsive.

Work-cation.
My family and I spent a wonderful 4 weeks at this beautifully placed condo. The location was perfectly situated for our needs. Close enough to restaurants and shops, but far enough to enjoy the quiet beaches! The condo itself was clean and well equipped. All the necessities! Relaxing and so close to the beach. The owner was responsive and communication was easy and quick. Will definitely keep this place in mind for next summer!

Great spot, first time visitor
This was our first time in Gulf Shores. So we weren’t really sure where to stay. But I’m happy we chose this condo. Loved having the short walk just across the street to the beach. Also having the lagoon on the other side was a great bonus! Our kids were 10 and 13 and they still enjoyed hanging out on the little lagoon beach. But it would be absolutely perfect for families with small children. Nothing as far as restaurants, stores, or attractions were really within walking distance (if that’s important to you). It was about a 5 min drive to all the attractions in the town, and parking wasn’t too bad. But we really enjoyed the location. It felt so peaceful and much less crowed, especially on the beach. Overall, we would stay here again. The bedrooms were large, beds were comfortable, lots of seating options, with great views. Really a great place to stay!

Spring Breaking
This was on the lagoon side but a very short walk to the beach. Too far away to walk to hot spots. This place was more for peace and tranquility. The place fit our needs perfectly.

Would Recommend!!
The process was easy from the beginning to the end. The condo was just as pictured, clean, and beds so comfortable. All basic staying items, including some spices, were available. The pier to fish off of is amazing at night. Beach access is extremely convenient. Will definitely book same condo on our next trip.

Loved the Balconies!
We have stayed in this complex before and love the convenience of the beach, pool and bay. This unit was the most comfortable I’ve stayed in. The beds were great and there was plenty of room. There are two flights of stairs to get to the condo and another to get to the bedrooms. The main floor has a half bath which was super convenient. This side of Gulf Shores is nice and quiet and you can get to restaurants/shops easily. Would definitely stay here again!

Excellent Property
Everything was great. The property is across the street from the beach. About a 4minute walk to water. The beach was not crowded any day we were there. Could take beach things out in the morning and leave them all day and no one bothered. Condo was clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

Joe was super fast to answer all my questions when I asked him. Super nice
We stayed in this condo and it was just like described. Really clean and we felt really comfortable. Just remember if you are going to be cooking and doing laundry bring laundry soap and dishwasher soap lol. I was on vacation and didn't even think about it but a little store right up the road to get some. Also toilet paper. We had that tornado going on so had a bug problem in the kitchen we assumed it was because of the storms. Thanks alot Joe for sharing your condo with us! Robin Ryan

The condo was large plenty of room for my family. Lagoon was the perfect fishing area for my husband and son's. Everything was great not a fan of all the stairs but the other wonderful things about the place made up for that.
