About the host
Hosted by Tom Ackley
We are from the frozen tundra that is Wisconsin. After visiting the area with our family, we fell in love with this side of Gulf Shores. We wanted a beach house so we could relax in the white sand with our children as they grow up and look forward to helping your family create memories here!
Why they chose this property
We purchased this beach house because our family enjoys traveling to Gulf Shores, exploring its beaches and wildlife, visiting all the attractions it has to offer and simply getting away from home.
What makes this property unique
Staying at The Ona, offers guests a truly unforgettable coastal experience. Enjoy direct beach access, salty ocean breeze, and the natural beauty of the coastal dunes. With a variety of dining options, shopping experiences, and water sports activities nearby, you'll have everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. And with the added luxury of a heated pool, you can unwind and relax even during cooler months.
