Location: Island Tower, Gulf Shores Central, Gulf Shores, Alabama, USA (1 Hr. from Mobile, AL (MOB) or Pensacola FL (PNS) Airports) View Map
Accommodations: Condominium, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 6-10)
If you want the best, you have found it. Island Tower 2403. The views from our perch on the 24th floor will simply take your breath away.
Our 3 bedroom/3 bath condo (sleeps 9) and is beautifully situated directly on the Gulf of Mexico and boasts THE absolute BEST views of the Gulf of Mexico plus views of the Mobile Bay, Oyster Bay and Little Lagoon from every window.
Press the elevator button and your toes are in blissful, white, soft, fluffy, fine, quartz sand. Then, when it's time to head up for the night from the surf and sand, you can watch the sun set from one of two balconies with unmatched and unobstructed views of 4 bodies of water. It is just magnificent. Only 4 units boast these views in our building.
Gulf front pools (both indoor and out), a gulf front fitness center and a private playground for kids in the building, round out the amenities. Our building is low-density as well. Only 3 units per floor.
80% of our renters return -- which says it all. Top of the line furnishings and mattresses also make your stay comfortable. If you are looking for the cheapest unit, please don't email me. I don't discount this unit. We have our unit packed with things that will save you money while you are here -- from beach chairs, to towels, to spices and cleaners under the sink. We live close-by and use it, so it truly is our second home. Hooks where you need them. Premium linens and towels. Many board games and kids things, too.
This unit was recently professionally photographed for inclusion in a national travel magazine and boasts views that only the west-end penthouse and 3 other units in this building have.
3 bedrooms + pull out couch and rollaway bed sleep 9 comfortably. 2 bedrooms have king sized beds, one bedroom has twin beds, and of course, the pull-out sofa and rollaway twin bed. The Master Bedroom is directly on the gulf side with a tiled balcony. Palatial master bath with top of the line fixtures, soaking tub and separate shower area. Huge Walk in Closets. Separate laundry room with full sized washer and dryer.
Find out what many people are just starting to discover -- the aquamarine blue waters along our Gulf of Mexico with a true southern flair. Gulf Shores, Alabama is a delightful affordable "getaway" into true the true south. Unlike Florida, which is NY in shorts, Alabama offers a relaxed atmosphere, Cajun-Creole cooking and some of the best beaches this country has to offer plus darned nice people, too. It's also delightfully affordable. Short day trips from our beaches include day trips to Fairhope, Alabama -- the Mayberry of the south -- and Mobile, Alabama (a great port city, with much to do). Cruises also leave from Mobile's port weekly.
Come watch the dolphins swim by!

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
We stock our place as a second home because it is. We use it and we have our things there (that you can use) -- from the beach towels, and chairs, to spices, great serving pieces, you name it -- we have it in our place.
Owner's Map of Island Tower
This is my favorite property that we own. I'd sell the house before our condo in Island Tower. I am blown away by the happiness that I feel each time I set foot in our second home away from home. My husband and I are the first and only owners of this condo.
