Overview
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 7), Carry down Beach Chairs + Umbrella
I live and work along the backdrop of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and this condominium is directly on the beach!
Our new 2 bedroom/2 bath condo sleeps 7 comfortably and is ideal for families and larger groups that need more space than most traditional 2-bedrooms offer. Many of the furnishings are from Pottery Barn including the dining table and chairs, many linens, etc.
Updates in December 2016: New Mattresses in MBR and Back Bedroom! New Carpeting and updated chaise lounger and balcony furniture (the good kind)! New Rocker Recliner and swivel chair.
Our condo has a fully loaded kitchen with spices, gadgetry for high end cooks, and other great things that are designed to save you money. From beach towels to beach chairs, cleaners, condiments, etc., our condo has it all. In the end, it will save you a great deal of money and packing time and space. We allow you to use our outdoor owners closet to store items, and use our beach chairs, toys and Umbrellas!
Hooks where you need them, thoughtfully designed and a great large space that really will work for your trip and family. Our living room comfortably seats a crowd.
Many pictures look great on the internet because they are taken when the condo just was furnished, and the palm tree looks so inviting, but you get there and the palm frond in the back of your head doesn't really work for you. If comfort is your guiding philosophy in your search for a rental on the beach, and you don't want to sit on a wicker piece of furniture, look no more, you have found your condo. We have thought of everything a family would need on vacation--from DVDs' to beach toys, to a full high chair. We give our guests a key to the large outdoor owners closet and it is stocked with goodies for you to use while you are here.
Find out why our renters call us and search us out each year. After pulling this condo from a major rental program, prior renters looked for us and found us. We also live in the area and our units are cleaned and maintained to a much higher standard than most.
We have a superior quality mattress in the Masterbedroom. We have curved shower rods in the bathrooms, hooks where you need them!
Sometimes I run some major specials. This spring and summer are filling up with dates. Please email me or text me, and I'll get you details.

About dana hammele
We own several condominiums along the lovely blue waters and white sands of the Gulf of Mexico. After continuing to invest in this lovely part of the country, we ended up moving down here about four years ago. I manage all of our properties and thoroughly enjoy it! We are constantly working to update and keep all of our properties in tip-top shape which is why our renters return. I keep beach chairs, umbrella and beach toys in our owners closet to use, and you can use them too! A great little perk. :)
dana hammele purchased this condo in 2006
Why dana hammele chose Alabama
You have to ask? This beach with it's beautiful white quartzite sand is among the most loveliest in the country. The people are very nice, too. We looked to invest in other areas along the panhandle, which we thought had the prettiest beaches in the country -- but decided against it after the traffic to the grocery store in one location almost made me loco! Gulf Shores, and Perdido Key are manageable places and the people in Alabama are just darned nice, too!
What makes this condo unique
Our properties are squeaky clean and have great mattresses. Why go on vacation if you're sleeping on a horrible mattress? Our places also come with high-end towels and linens, along with beach chairs and beach towels! Less to worry about packing. We also have a fully stocked spice rack (which saves money here and there) as well as cleaners under the sink and many other items that will save you money and help you feel a true value in a real second home throughout your vacation.
Many of our properties have curved shower rods. All of our properties have wifi, filtered water, and we also have hooks in the bathrooms where you need them for towels. Little things make a difference in a good vacation and a great one. This truly is our second home!

great 2 BR condo on the beach!
We spent 7 days at Dana's condo. The kitchen had all the essentials. The bedrooms and living room furniture were comfortable. The view from the balcony was fantastic and we enjoyed watching dolphins swim by several times. We walked to the surf shops and a few local eateries(approximately 3/4 miles.) A small grocery called Pier 33 was across the street and was definitely convenient a few times during our stay. The crabbing nets Dana had in the closet came in handy nightly. We reached out to Dana a few times and she was easily reachable and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend this condo and would rent again when we visit the Gulf shores in the future.
billing
unhappy with fees, total for all fees were equal to one day rental! I won't use your services again!
Weekend getaway!
We had an excellent stay at the condo. This was our first trip to Gulf Shores in years and it exceeded expectations. The condo had everything we could ask for. Great view of the Gulf and sunsets. We cooked each night and spent more time at the condo due to the 1st cold front of the year. The indoor pool and game room was great for the kids. Went out for lunch once a 1/2 mile down the street to Bahama Bob's. Highly recommend!
Wonderful condo
We just finished staying over a week at this condo. The pictures are exactly it. The view is spectacular. The trip out to the beach is a simple elevator ride down and short walk around the pool and very short boardwalk over the dunes. Many other condos further east in Orange Beach have a very long boardwalk over the dunes. This one is right there on the beach. The condo itself is nicely decorated with comfortable furniture. We met some people on the beach staying in the same building who said their condo had furniture that was way too large and you couldn't move around. This one has furniture that's just right. My wife and I didn't use the second bedroom but did use the second bath so we could get ready for dinner after day on the beach. My wife was super impressed with all the hooks in the bathroom and also as you first enter the condo. Very handy for hanging beach bag, purse, etc. to keep them off the counters and table. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. It even had a lot of spices. The king bed was comfortable. Then Thursday of our week Dana had all new mattresses delivered. The old mattress wasn't bad but the new one was very good. I like that she changed them proactively rather than waiting for them to totally break down. The balcony is very nice and deeper than those of condos we've visited in the past in Florida. It had a table and 7 chairs on it if I remember correctly. One of them is a lounge chair. Great for dolphin and just Gulf watching. The beach chairs and umbrella included was a great addition. Those things go for $30/day or a little less per day renting by the week. If you do the math that's a big plus. It was just the two of us but this would be a great place for a family as well. In the owner's closet right outside the condo door there were more beach chairs and beach toys for the kids. If you haven't figured it out, we were very pleased with this unit and we will try to rent it again when returning to Gulf Shores!
We enjoyed several area restaurants including Desoto's, Tin Top, Mikee's, Ruby Slipper-breakfast (Orange Beach), and Another Broken Egg-breakfast (Orange Beach.
Amazing condo!
I would recommend this condo to anyone vacationing in Gulf Shores. The beds are very comfortable and the unit was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen had everything we needed and extra beach towels and toys that came with the unit were perfect. Dana was very easy to work with and we would definitely stay here again! Also the beach chairs that came with the condo were in the perfect place, a very short walk from the boardwalk :) no complaints about this condo at all.
Great Stay!!
This condo worked PERFECTLY for our family of 7. It is exactly as advertised & having the fully stocked kitchen and access to the washer & dryer made our stay easier. The linens are high end to make bedtime feel more like home. We saw dolphins twice from the balcony, which is just high enough for an awesome view. Loved watching the Blue Herron's on the beach. When the doors are shut you can't hear any outside noise.

We are less than 3/4 of a mile from the Hangout. Convenient location on west beach!
