"viva Como um Local" Durante as Suas Férias em Gulf Shores!

Let My Happy Place be yours! Come "LIVE" at the beach and enjoy the comfort of a renovated classic beach house with a 'live like a local' feel and a great canal lagoon view from the covered front porch. The large open family room/kitchen area is great for relaxing and lounging after a good day at the beach.

The home is located in the heart of the Gulf Shores Beach District on a dead-end street (no through traffic!), just 3 blocks west of the Hang-out and 2 blocks south of the public beach access (5 minute walk). It's close enough to walk/bike to everything Gulf Shores has to offer, yet it feels private and remote...perfect for relaxing.

There is a lagoon in the front yard with a small private dock for fishing, crabbing and kayak launching. Use of 4 kayaks and a paddle boat are included with the rental! You can kayak the Gulf Shores canals and Little Lagoon from the house, even head over to the , Original Oyster House or other local restaurants for a kayak up lunch!

There are 3 bedroom, 2 full baths and a private outdoor shower with hot & cold water (everyone's favorite!). The 3rd bedroom we call the bunk room and includes an additional TV viewing area, two bunk bed sets, a queen bed and a private balcony. It's a perfect area for kids.

Rental also includes use of a mid-size washer/dryer, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach boards, floats, sand toys, corn hole, crab cage, charcoal grill, etc. (Note: there are a few fishing poles and old bikes folks have left at the house - if they are there you are free to use them, I just cant guarantee they will still be there and work.)

The Gulf State Park is only 2 miles via paved path - so bring your bikes and explore the 26+ miles of the Gulf State Park trails (all paved paths or boardwalks).

Besides the beach, kayaking, biking and relaxing - there are lots of other fun things to in the area!
1) Gulf State Park: The Fishing pier is great for fishing and also fun to walk out and watch what's being caught. There is also a nature center in the Park and great new restaurants at the Lodge.
2) Gulf Shores' parks & rec: The Bodenhamer Rec center offers day & week passes. The center has a large indoor heated pool w/aqua-climb wall, full service fitness/exercise center and fitness classes, indoor basketball and racquetball courts, tennis courts and game room. There is also a large outdoor play ground with jungle gym
3) Day trip to Fort Morgan, Dauphin Island (the ferry ride is fun), Bellingrath Gardens, Bayou La Batre (yes Bubba it's a real place and has the BEST SHRIMP)
4) Day trip to Fairhope - an amazing town on the cliffs of Mobile Bay. Great shops, restaurants, parks, history. Check out Weeks Bay Pitcher Plant Bog and Weeks Bay Estuarine Research Reserve on the way.
5) Day trip to Pensacola - Catch a Blue Angel show or practice, climb the lighthouse, visit the National Naval Air Museum which rivals the Smithsonian Air/Space (also free).
