About this property

Gulf Front w/Spacious Balcony, Designed for Comfort in the Heart of Gulf Shores

Nestled just a mile west of the lively “Hangout,” this Gulf front 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom retreat offers a thoughtfully designed space in the heart of Gulf Shores, recently ranked one of the top beaches in the country by U.S. News.

Recent upgrades include a redesigned living room with professionally selected furnishings, including an Italian leather sofa, swivel chairs, and a leather recliner, updated outdoor balcony furniture, and a refreshed second bedroom now featuring two twin beds that can be positioned together for added space and flexibility. Updated photos reflecting these living room, balcony, and bedroom upgrades will be added in May 2026.

This home has been carefully furnished with comfort in mind and reflects the feel of a well maintained second home rather than a typical full time rental. The interior features a clean, coastal design with curated artwork and comfortable, well appointed furnishings throughout.

Step onto the spacious 154 sq ft Gulf front balcony, accessible from both the living room and primary bedroom. With expansive views and comfortable outdoor seating, it is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beach just steps away.

Take advantage of the large zero entry pool overlooking the beach, a guest favorite, heated for year round enjoyment.

This property offers a more relaxed, residential feel compared to larger resort style complexes, making it a great option for those who prefer a quieter and less crowded beach experience.

Stay connected with high speed fiber internet and enjoy smart TVs in both bedrooms along with a 75 inch screen in the living room.

You will be within walking distance to dining, shopping, and local attractions, while still enjoying a quieter stretch of beach. On site amenities also include a kiddie pool, grill area, gazebo, and shaded seating areas.

For added convenience, we provide games, books, and essential beach gear for guests to enjoy.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay and beautiful views from the condo and balcony. When we weren’t at the pool or beach we were on the balcony relaxing. The beach and the pool were so close it took just minutes to walk to them. Beach chairs and an umbrella available so we didn’t have to bring our own. The building was quiet, furniture and beds very comfortable, and we had all that we needed in the kitchen for preparing meals. We would definitely stay here again. Our host was quick to respond to questions before and during our stay.

Absolutely loved our stay here! We always get a condo in Oceanhouse 2 and we were a little concerned about changing to a different one. But the whole family agrees it may be our favorite this far. Clean, well decorated, great location, and never needed to communicate or have any questions with any other booking. But we did have a few questions and the host was so helpful, quick to respond, and kind! 100% recommend and plan to come back!

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 19, 2026
We are sorry some items did not meet expectations. We work hard to provide a great value for this location, beach view, large balcony and recent upgrades, especially compared to many comparable condos in the area. We use a professional cleaning and linen service and appreciate the feedback regarding towels and supplies. We are glad you enjoyed the upgrades and overall condo experience.

Great view and we loved the balcony. We took a Segway tour at Gulf State Park. I highly recommend it. It was so fun. The four is great. We ate at as many different restaurants as we could. Every meal was wonderful. Our favorites were the Oyster House and Gallesy Irish Pub.

Perfect location on the beach with a gorgeous and spacious pool between the condo and the ocean. Phenomenal views and incredible vistas for sunrises and sunsets. Condo was well appointed and beds, bedding and pillows were dreamy! We would happily return to our new favorite beaches, Gulf Shores/ Orange Beach, and book our stay with Karin again.

About the host

Hosted by Karin Wilson

Host profile image
Kiefer and Karin, proud residents of Fairhope, are the proprietors of a charming fourth-generation establishment known as Page & Palette - a delightful blend of bookstore, bar, and coffee shop. Conveniently situated just 45 min away from the condo, Fairhope's downtown area offers an ideal day trip, boasting a plethora of exquisite shopping venues and delectable dining options. Renowned for its charm and allure, Fairhope has earned its place among the top small coastal cities in the South, a distinction proudly acknowledged by publications such as Southern Living.

Why they chose this property

We chose Gulf Shores as our home away from home because it's only 45 min from our home in Fairhope. It's close to everything Gulf Shores has to offer, but it's just far enough to feel private.

What makes this property unique

While the complex has an elevator, we love being on the 3rd floor because it's only two flights of stairs to the pool. We love sitting out of the balcony with coffee or wine in the comfortable patio furniture and walking to Bahama Bob's for dinner.
