Drive 12 miles down Ft. Morgan Road and leave behind the crowded beaches, crowded parking lots and crowded restaurants! What you gain for a little longer drive is Space, Security, Peace, Quiet, and a great Family Atmosphere at Gulf Shores Plantation.
As you turn off Ft. Morgan Road onto the GSP driveway that leads to the water you will appreciate the beautifully landscaped grounds and flowering plants. You won't have to wake up our 24/7 guards no matter what time you arrive. As you park and load your luggage carrier on your way to the 4th floor of Building 4 home of Parrots Perch you will notice the quiet and realize you can finally relax here. Elevators have been renovated. Perfect Sleeper mattresses have been purchased. And as you open the door to Condo 4406 you will think you have gone to Parrot-Dize! If the draperies are open you can see the Gulf from the front Door...and the kitchen, living room, and master bedrom. My artist friend has painted parrots and palm trees on the wall and I found a parrot dining table you'll just have to see - it's not in the ad picture!
At this spacious gated resort, your children will never be bored. They will love to go from swimming pool to swimming pool - there are seven on the property.(See if your family can spot the underwater bench at our newest pool with soothing jet sprays for your tired back?) In 2009 we added a big red wagon for hauling your stuff to the beach, which seems to be appreciated by our renters who write after their visits, so we were glad to see it is still rolling in 2011. There is an outdoor shower right on the beach boardwalk for rinsing off sandy feet. Take flashlights and buckets and head for the beach with the children at nightfall where they will be so excited to try catching ghost crabs. A good place for your serious crab fishing is the small pier across the highway from the resort, which also has a public boat ramp.
You will enjoy the any-weather convenience of an indoor heated pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, washateria, and game room all in the same Building 4 as Parrots Perch, and a Starbucks restaurant and fitness room in Building 5 nearby. On the day or night you arrive, take your tennis racquets (or badminton racquets)and enjoy some exercise after your long trip. No problem if its already dark, just punch the button on the fence that lights up the courts at night.
Parents can watch children play from the wide deck of the condo - the tennis courts are right across the parking lot in back. And courtside you will see a basketball goal - there is a basketball inside the condo for your use while visiting. Some other recreational features are shuffleboard,volleyball, and a golf putting range where you can practice before heading over to the adjacent championship course at Kiva Dunes, our sister complex next door.
Condo specifics include a queen bed in the blue-and-white master bedroom with private matching bath. An unusual window treatment here features battenburg lace above the white wooden blinds with a parrot perched on its wooden cornice. In this room there is a new 19-inch flat screen television/DVD combination and a clock radio with correct time kept by satellite. Another condo feature that many guests appreciate is the WIRELESS INTERNET SERVICE so bring your laptop computer!
The jungle green guest room includes plantation shutters,twin beds, and original art parrot pictures. There is a small TV in an armoire/chest of drawers with mirrored doors for hair and makeup arranging. A separate bath serves these guests which has been remodeled and updated in 2011.
The living room contains a large TV armoire serving the striped sofabed with pullout baskets behind its louvered doors for sofa sleepers to use. Armoire doors have also been fitted with mirrors for these guests as well as the 27-inch televison,DVD, and VCR. Lined draperies keep out the morning sun for our sofa sleepers.
The kitchen has plenty of beach-themed dishes and microwave,coffeepot, blender, hand mixer, toaster, hot pot, and plenty of pots and pans. All you have to bring is your food, spices, and paper towels to be the kitchen gourmet or just to boil shrimp in the large pot we keep on hand. You will find a parrot on the wall welcoming you to 4406 where we know you'll have as wonderful a time as we do every time we go!

Owner's Map of Gulf Shores Plantation
My extended family has been vacationing at Gulf Shores beaches for as long as I can remember. When my aunt died, there was a beach poem in her funeral service program I cut out and pasted in my first condo guest book. Who wouldn't choose to buy a vacation home in this place?? It has the beach, the pools, the tennis courts and everything a vacationer needs. Indoor pool in my building. Now I always have a happy place to go and enjoy, to take family and friends, and my renters love it too - just read their notes in the "Guest Comments" section!
