This listing is for the West side unit of Pearl. One side perfect for your group? Then this West side of Pearl (10BR) may be just what you need!
Or, check out Pearl's East side unit (10BR) — same great layout, same bedding, sleeps the same number, and same great amenities, so if one isn't available, grab the other--you can't go wrong! Or....

How big? 10 Bedrooms big. Sleeps 28 EACH SIDE!
That's big! In 8 kings and 4 sets of full-single combo bunk beds (a full bed underneath a single!). King beds. Big! And none of that sleeper sofa stuff to make it 28. Its 28 in beds, not pullouts.

NOT ONE BUT TWO REFRIGERATORS And, not one but two dishwashers too! Because when you are big: eat, drink, wash, repeat! It's better with two! Need ice? It's got icemakers, and not just on the two fridges! Clothes, swimsuits, towels? Of course it has a really big washer and dryer! In fact, one set per floor! Seriously.
ACCESSIBILITY CONCERNS? WE'VE GOT ELEVATORS!
Huffing it up three floors can be hard. Why not an elevator?! Yes, the Pearl on West Beach has one of those too! And bathroom tweaks too. The bath on the main level has a floor roll in capable shower, just in case!
POOL Does The Gulf Shores Pearl on West Beach have a pool?
Of course! And its really big. In the vicinity of 14'x35′ big. Wow! Deck? Yup, covered and uncovered. We literally have you covered, when it comes to a deck! And its private to the two sides of our duplex, not shared with anyone else in the area!
BEACHFRONT? ABSOLUTELY! The Pearl on West Beach, is RIGHT on the beach. Nothing but sand between you, your guests, and the water (well, sand, and the pool!). Parking is no problem either. 3 cars fit under the house on each side.
Come Stay with us at the The Pearl on West Beach at 1037 West Beach Boulevard, Gulf Shores Alabama!

🤗 Hi Melissa! Glad you had a nice time. Bummed to get a 3 on my normally 5 star home! I have to admit — I'm genuinely surprised by this one.
Erica's has 100 reviews and an average right around 4.95. The guest right before your stay had a 5 star experience, the guest who checked in the day you checked out left 5 stars, and honestly, yours is the only 3 the home has ever received. So this really stands out — and with no note left on the review, and no communication from you during the stay, makes it challenging to know how to respond (or to make improvements for guests like you).
If you have additional feedback for Erica's, or if I can help with a return trip here or to one of my other homes--and get you that same 5 star experience the other folks have all had, I'd love to hear from you! And regardless, I hope you and yours had a wonderful New Year's at the beach. 🙏
This building exceeded our expectations. We had big family and friend reunion if we win from England. Everyone was happy with their stay. We definitely will be back.!

🥳 Woohoo, Amanda! All the way from England for a big family-and-friends reunion at the Pearl — now THAT'S a trip, and I'm honored you chose us for it! So glad the west side exceeded expectations and that everyone was happy. That's exactly what the Pearl is built for — big crews, big memories. Safe travels home across the pond, and we'd love to have you back! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the Pearl? Or ready to plan the next reunion? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

The place was large enough to accommodate and was a hit with the large semi-private pool !

We had a FANTASTIC time!
Our spring break trip was perfect! Lots of room for everyone, and right on the beach! The elevator was very helpful, and the kitchen/living room was so big, and well-stocked! Highly recommend!
Had an excellent time. This home satisfied all our needs. Our neighbours were excellent.

😎 Thanks Frank! Happy to hear you all had a fantastic time in the east side unit of Pearl. 10BR of huge awesomeness with all the fixins--elevator, wet bars, so much more, right?! And love that the neighbors were awesome too! Will mark them down for the kudos! Ty! DM when ready to return to paradise! 😉
The house was absolutely gorgeous, very conveniently located. Quiet area. The house had everything we needed plus more. The hosts were so helpful and easy to communicate with. Will be booking again in the near future

Wonderful!
It was wonderful. We truly enjoyed it. Even got lucky enough to watch the dolphins play right when we woke up.
Perfectly laid out for our group. Plenty of room, storage, refrigerator space. Loved the pool area and relaxing chairs. Short walk to the gulf front. This was my second time staying at the Pearl West with friends and family. We will be booking again!

Clean. Perfect for our retreat!
Hope we can return next year, or the year after. Worked very well for our group. Thank you!
Perfect space for my family, loved the location, couldn’t be better! Super clean and spacious! The elevator was just what we needed, several family members over 60! Can’t say enough about how close we were to the beach.

Yay! Thanks so much Shirley! If you ever need anything at all -- return trip to paradise?! -- shoot me a note! Happy to help. Thanks again. Rick
Wonderful, large, beachfront home with heated pool!
Had a lovely stay at this property. As the listing indicates, the property is huge and perfect for multiple families staying together. Right on the beach and with a large heated pool that is shared with the other side of the duplex. Owner was very communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommend and would return!

Great stay in both sides of Pearl
It was amazing. We had the best time. We felt like the communication was excellent and we had zero problems. Very professional. Everyone raved about the stay. Thanks for everything.
This house was amazing! It has all the amenities you could ask for and plenty of them even for a large family group. It’s a very convenient location with great easy access to the beach. My only comment would be that the carpets could have been cleaner and the bedding nicer. But for all the good at this place I almost hate to even mention those two things. We would stay here again for sure!

About the host
Hosted by Rick Goldsworthy
Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!
My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf.
Pearl. Wow. Just look at the tour. The pictures. Location! Salt water pool. Nice. Nice. Nice. People get married here, taking both sides (20 bedrooms). People come back year after year. I love this home. Oh, and those cabinets. Great living space. Extras. Ice Makers. And centrally located on the eastern part of West Beach Blvd, about 1.25 miles to Hangout, easy walk to Bahama Bobs and Waves Grocery. Just a great all over place for folks needing room to roam and all the amenities.
Why they chose this property
My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf. Beach Axis used to be the Summer Winds. We took ownership and completely redid this home with an updated vibe. Check out the red cabinets! Nice location. Style. Look at the deck view. You so want to be there!
What makes this property unique
Huge! 10 or 20 bedrooms. Elevator for those needing assistance! Two refrigerators and dishwashers, more! Yeah, more, more of eveything. Plus. Great, beachfront saltwater pool. One of my favorite pools when we get to stay around Gulf Shores and this happens to be open, which isn't often. Icemakers, wet bars, lounges, lots of bunks and king beds! What more could you ask for you and your large crew!
