Location: Other Gulf Shores Properties, Gulf Shores, Alabama, USA
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
Enjoy the beautiful unobstructed view from the large beachfront deck, or walk directly to beach and the fabulous Gulf waters. Watch for the dolphins when the Gulf is calm, and enjoy riding the waves with your boogie board when the surf is up! Almost Heaven is a freshly decorated beachfront home with tile floors throughout and ceiling fans in all rooms. The furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a full sized refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave, and small appliances including a crock pot, hot plate, hand mixer, blender, coffee maker, and more. The living room has cathedral ceilings and a wonderful view of the beach and gulf from the sofa, chairs and two matching recliners. It also has satellite TV with DVD/MP3/VCR and additional televisions in three of the four bedrooms. In addition, there is a stereo with cassette and CD players. All four bedrooms have large built-in chests of drawers and spacious closets.
Three bedrooms have queen beds, and the fourth has two twin-sized beds. We also have a Fisher-Price 3-n-1 travel portable crib, safety gate and highchair. A new queen sized sleeper sofa is available in the living area. Linens and normal cleaning are included in the rental fee. Parking is located under the home. Amenities: We are members of The Beach Club, and as our guests you can enjoy all of the privileges that The Beach Club has to offer (small administrative fee from The Beach Club applies). Only a few minutes stroll down the beach or drive from the house. You can enjoy swimming in any of the Five outdoor pools, and sunbathing areas. There are also Five Jacuzzis, two steam rooms, two saunas, indoor pool, exercise room, an European health spa, game room, gated playground, and a beauty salon. The Beach Club offers fine dining at the Beach Club Restaurant which includes a lovely outdoor balcony overlooking the pool and Gulf of Mexico.
More casual dining is offered at the Village Market where you can also purchase groceries and gourmet sundries. If you prefer to snack by the pool, there is a tiki bar offering frozen summer drinks and an outdoor grill. In addition, there is a soda fountain and delicious ice cream parlor at the Village Mercantile. There are activities offered for all age groups. The area is abundant with fabulous golf courses: Kiva Dunes, The Peninsula, and Craft Farms, just to name a few. There are also tennis courts at the Beach Club. During the summer months, there are planned activities for the young ones, such as visits to the zoo, face painting, pizza parties, and contests of all kinds on the beach! In addition, there are planned winter activities for the snow birds! While the house is lovely and very comfortable, the most impressive feature of Almost Heaven on the Beach is the front yard: white sand and the Gulf of Mexico.
The sound of waves lapping upon the shore, the smell of the salt air, the view of playful dolphins, docile herons, and graceful storks and seagulls make this vacation spot special. Some like to boogie board and swim in the gulf, and others enjoy stretching out on the sand or even on the expansive front deck. Whether your pleasure is an early morning walk along the seashore or riding the waves on your board, the beach is what you will remember fondly.
