The vacation of a lifetime with family or friends awaits at WatersEdge. Our well appointed, vibrantly hued, duplex home is only steps from the private pool and the sugar-white sandy beaches of the Gulf coast. Located just off the heart of Gulf Shores on West Beach, we are uniquely positioned for both uncrowded beaches AND easy access to all Gulf Shores/ Orange Beach has to offer. Shopping, dining, entertainment, grocery, and more are within 2 miles. WatersEdge is truly the perfect location for both relaxation and adventure.
For the 2008 season, WatersEdge was completely and professionally redecorated. You will enjoy the custom bedding and window treatments, 450+ TC sheeting, turkish towels, tasteful new furniture, and many other wonderful touches making your stay more luxurious than ever.
Rest and tranquility are yours in our non-smoking home featuring 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Two bedrooms are located downstairs. One is a master with King-sized bed while the other features a Queen-sized bed. Upstairs hosts 3 more spacious bedrooms. Two are masters with King-sized beds and one is a bunk room. Our bunk room hosts a twin-over-twin and a custom full-over-queen. The latter was built with adults in mind and is appropriate for both adults and/or kids. The two first floor bedrooms each share an adjoining bath, as do two of the three upstairs bedrooms. The third upstairs bedroom is a King and also features a large private bath and private balcony overlooking the Gulf. A Queen sleeper sofa, in the living area, provides additional sleeping flexibility. All five bedrooms are equipped with a TV for your comfort. The living room boasts a 42" flat panel TV, DVD and VCR to ensure movie/game night is a hit! Enjoy the stereo - or bring your Ipod for the docking station and enjoy your own custom musical selections. For those times you need to be in touch with the outside world, WiFi is available for your use.
Your fully equipped kitchen, with eat-in bar, flows into the sunny dining area and then on to your open living area. This large public space allows socializing and togetherness for the entire group. The custom dining table accomodates 10, with 4 more seats at the breakfast bar, making dining together a refreshing reality. Off the living area, your deck overlooks the large private pool shared only with your neighbor. At 32' X 16' in size, everyone can enjoy this wonderful amenity...regardless if your playing water games, or merely basking on a raft. Watch the kids from your deck during the day or join them - just one flight below - on your spacious poolside deck. From either vantage point, the panoramic views are unforgettable. Sunrise and sunset are not to be missed!
Extending beyond the edge of your pool is a ribbon of white sand bordering the blue waters of the Gulf. For your convenience, we have an outdoor shower just off the beach as you enter the pool.
We have amenities such as beach chairs, umbrellas, and assorted pool/beach toys for use during your stay. For small children we have a pack-n-play, booster seat, high-chair - fewer things for you to pack. Older kids will enjoy the XBOX, board games, videos and books.
Call today to reserve your family’s vacation of a lifetime!
The waters of the Gulf and your private pool await at WatersEdge.

Wonderful trip to celebrate 5 birthday's in our family. House was great and the perfect amount of space for 5 couples! October weather was great....some of us were out to watch the sunrise each morning, then all of us out to the beach by mid-morning, relaxing all day and watching the dolphins jump by our view! Amazing! Then early evening back to the beach to watch the sunset! Thanks Mary Martha for a great house to make our trip so memorable!

Great house and great views. This was a last minute rental for us since my wife was to have back surgery on the Tuesday after we returned. Would have been more enjoyable if LEE (as in Tropical Storm) hadn't been paying a visit. Mary Martha was very easy to work with and the rental process went off without a hitch. We have been going to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach since the 80's and this was one of the best properties we have stayed in.

I wish to personally Thank Mary Martha for providing my family such a fantastic home for our Family Vacation. Check-in and check-out was flawless ~ No lines to wait. The location was just perfect! Just an 18 minute stroll down the beach to parasailing - just a 2 minute stroll to a convenient store, ice cream shop, and Restaurant for your afternoon cocktails! The house accommodated us perfectly with room to spare ~ Family members ranged from 78 years old to 11 years old . There was something for everyone - beach - pool - with golf/tennis/shopping nearby! Rental bikes were delivered to the house for our morning ride on the bike path just outside the house. The dining area accommodated the puzzle/card/board games~ a great gathering place for All! For those late risers ~ they chose the bedrooms upstairs ~ early risers chose the bedrooms on the main floor. The decks were a gathering place as well watching the kids in the pool or on the beach. My family had photos taken just outside the house ~ memories to last a lifetime! (suggest early evening around 6:30 PM – khaki shorts/white tee shirts – made for awesome photos). With Dolphins each morning ~ Stars at night ~it was just the perfect backdrop to a beautiful fun filled Vacation! I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a convenient, accommodating and hassle free week of Sun and Sand! We will definitely be back Mary Martha!

There were 11 in our group from age 8 to 64 and we had a wonderful time. There were seashells everywhere on the beach and there was a full moon which was just beautiful shinning on the water. We hated to go home. Everything in the house was just as the pictures showed. We went on a dolphin cruise which was fantastic. One of the children in our group is handicapped and we rented a beach wheelchair for her from Ike's and it was great. They delivered and picked up at the house. It was just effortless to push in the sand and you can push it right out into the water. We would definitely go back.The location of the house was great, away from the crowds but close to anything you needed or wanted to do.

This was our families frist visit to Alabama. It was wonderful. The house at Watersedge was perfect. It has everything you need. It is just steps away from the beach. The pool really was nice for when we were taking a break from the beach. There are stores in walking distance, if you like to walk. We plan on making this trip again. The house has a great deal of room, the the master bed room up stairs has a view to die for. Thanks to Watersedge and MS.Mary fro a great vacation. Patti

We had a fabulous time at Gulf Shores last week in your condo. The furnishings are very nice and we have already booked the condo for next summer. I highly recommend this property as a great place to stay in Gulf Shores.

Our family had a blast! Very spacious and is perfect for big groups. We rented both sides and plan on going back next year! The new pool was so nice to come back to after a long day at the beach! Property is close to everything but yet on a quiet street! Absolutley loved it!

Perfect Beach Front Property (5 out of 5 Stars)! Review Submitted: June 12, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009 From: Satisfied Customer, Tuscaloosa AL(copied verbatim from another online guest book) I would highly reccommend this property to any large group desiring a beachfront rental with a private pool! Our extended family had plenty of room and thoroughly enjoyed the week. The bunk room is perfect for teenagers and young adults or even a family with young children. The upstairs master with private deck was perfect for older parents who loved the view without the sand! The pool was clean and the pool service checked the pool twice during our visit. The property is very well decorated and equipped. We had more than enough supplies in the kitchen. We even entertained friends for dinner during our stay. The outside storage room is full of beach toys, floats, chairs and umbrellas. Waters Edge is located close to a fabulous seafood market and convenience store making trips to the grocery less frequent! The location is also in the residential part of West Beach making the beach area directly in front of the house somewhat private and certainly not overcrowded. The owner is very gracious and helpful during the renting process and was accessible to answer questions and provide additional information."
