We just purchased this property in July of 2008! We shut down our condo for the late fall and early winter to complete a $30,000 remodeling job! It now has all brand new tile floors, granite counters, all new stainless appliances, all new bath vanities & fixtures, new furniture, and brightly painted walls with a happy decor complete our fun beach look!

We have set up our condo for families. The first two bedrooms have king size beds in them with a twin mattress under each one that can be pulled out and used. The third bedroom has a twin over a full bunk, with another twin mattress stored below the bed that can be pulled out and used. There is a DVD player and t.v. in each of the bedrooms and the living room. We have a beach umbrella, beach chairs (4), body board, a big bag of sand toys, a big beachbag, floats, & an air pump for your use and enjoyment! We also have a booster seat / high chair, and a "Pac & Play" infant bed for our smallest guests :)

The view from our condo just can't be beat. The master bedroom (and even the bathroom) has a panoramic view of the gulf. The 2nd master bedroom also looks directly out at the beach. We have a deep balcony looking out over the pool and out to the gulf. It has a table with 6 chairs, and it's a great place to watch the sun set each evening.

So, come on down and relax in our beautiful home-away-from-home! We have 2 links to other photo pages of our condo posted below. Be sure to take a look at them. We know you'll love our condo as much as we do!

Special Fall Rates! 3 Bedroom, 3 Bath Gulf-Front Condo!

Year Purchased: 2008

Why the Owner Chose Harbour Place

Our first condo was on West Beach Blvd. in Gulf Shores, but we lost it to Hurricane Ivan. Once things settled down, and we began our search for the "perfect condo" again, we just couldn't find what we wanted. When we finally looked at this one, after viewing dozens of others, we knew as soon as we entered the HUGE foyer that "this was the one!" We wanted a condo with large bedrooms so that we could bring our big family and the friends that always want to tag along with our kids. I don't like my living area cluttered up with people sleeping in it, so this condo was perfect! We also wanted cleaner and clearer water. We have been amazed at the water clarity by moving just a few miles east of our former location. At least 90% of the time, the water looks like a swimming pool - clean and clear! Our final consideration was how crowded the beach would be in our location. We wanted an area that only allowed low-rise buildings so that the crowds wouldn't be as intense. We are located in Romar Beach, which is the older part of Orange Beach, just past the state park. Nothing over 5 floors is allowed, and nothing is built on our side of the building. Even during peak summer months, you can easily find a spot out on the beach! We have not been disappointed yet by our decision, and all of our guests have been just as happy!

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

Our favorite part of this condo (other than the awesome view)is the POOL!!!! Our children LOVE to come down here in the winter to play. The ocean is too cold to swim in, but usually the air temperature is great. So, we'll go outside to play on the beach, run along in the surf, and then come inside to our wonderful pool. We've been to many resorts that claim to have a "heated pool," and ended up with blue lips! Not at OUR pool! It is truly a comfortably heated pool! Our favorite time of the year is the fall and winter - no crowds at the beach, a warm pool, and no long waits at the restaurants!

A
The Track

There's one in Orange Beach, but our kids like the one in Gulf Shores better. It has more to do! Be sure to pick up a coupon for the cheaper tickets. You only need one coupon - it applies to all th

B
Wal-Mart (Super Center)

We enjoy driving the State Park Rd. to Hwy. 180. It can be faster during the congested summer months, and it's a very pretty drive! Watch for the markers showing different trails you can stop to wal

C
Bahama Bob's Restaurant

This is one of our favorite places to eat. It sits right on the beach, has indoor or outdoor seating, and it has "Family Friendly" prices.

D
The Shrimp Basket

Another one of our favorite places to eat! They have a GREAT all you can eat fish night on Mondays and Thursdays for only $7.99! For a bit more, you can get it blackened or grilled. They also have

E
The Zoo

Did your kids ever watch "The Little Zoo the Could" on Animal Planet? They did a wonderful documentary series of what this zoo had to do to evacuate and protect its animals during the horrible Ivan a

F
Waterville USA

Awesome waterpark! Go to www.gulfshores.com for more info.

G
The Wharf

There are lots of cool things to do here! Check out their web-site for upcoming events. Our kids love the ferris wheel. They've added some new stuff that we haven't tried out yet, too!

 

Owner's Map of Harbour Place

We are both teachers, and we run a small rental home business here in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We have 3 adopted foster children, and 2 birth children, a dog, cat, turtles, hermit crabs, and fish! Life is busy, but we love it that way! Our favorite place to be is down at the beach, so our family packs up and heads down there often after a busy week at school (it's just a 4 hour drive for us). If our condo is booked, we stay in our 5th wheel camper instead - anything just to be near the beach! We get some fun teasing from our guests that they can SURE tell this condo is owned by a couple of teachers - labels on things, books everywhere, great organization! But, they also rave about how much they love this! So we hope you'll try out our condo and see what YOU think :)

    • Our family of 9 spent our vacation in this wonderful condo. It was the perfect size, decorated great, mattresses were very comfortable, all the extra ammenties were a plus. It was nice not to have to bring dirty clothes home with you because of the new washer and dryer furnished. The kitchen was furnished to the max and even though we didn't "cook" that much, there was everything there that you needed. The condos location made it easy to walk the short distance to the beach. We could not have asked for a better condo or location. Our family made wonderful memories on our trip and are looking forward to going back.

    • We spent a few days here in late July and had a great stay! Lots of extras. The twin mattresses found under each bed was a nice plus. The kids' favorite was the pirate bedroom with PS2. Loved the large foyer where we could store all of our beach goodies, out of the living space but accessible when we needed them. This section of the beach wasn't very crowded for such a busy time of year. Great trip!

    • Our family stayed here for a week in July and thought this condo was terrific! It's beautifully decorated, extremely well-organized, and well-stocked. I loved how there were labels in all the cabinets and the pantry so that I knew where to put things, find things, etc. The owners are also great about using e-mail for contact and always answer questions quickly. They are just really helpful and easy to deal with. The condo's location on the beach is terrific; there is nothing on one side of the building so there's lots of beach space for everyone to spread out on. We had a great vacation here!

    • We stayed at this condo in May and had a wonderful time. We had a rather large group but made it fine with 3 bedrooms and extra mattresses. All were very comfortable. It was very peaceful and the view was great. The kids enjoyed the indoor pool during the hottest part of the day. Didn't have to worry about sunscreen! We had a very enjoyable stay.

    • I took my two children to the beach for spring break in March, 2009. The weather was much colder than we expected and we spent a lot more time inside that I had planned. That didn't matter to the kids. They LOVED the condo (as did I, of course)! They spent hours in the pirate bedroom pretending that the bunk beds were a pirate ship and they were Captains. The condo was well equipped, very comfortable and just downright enjoyable. I would highly recommend this home away from home to anyone.

    • We took our family of 7 on a vacation to Orange Beach, Alabama in February of '09. This condo was absolutely perfect for our stay. Our kids all had comfy beds to sleep in and we had a beautiful kitchen to cook in. The facilities inside and outside the condo were very, very well maintained and in great condition. We had a spectacular time and would do it again in a New York Minute! HIGHLY Recommend this condo for any family vacations - - it's just perfect!
