About the host

Hosted by Jimmy Garrett

Host profile image
I own and manage rental property in Gulf Shores. Born & raised in Kentucky, my wife, three daughters, and I have always enjoyed warm weather in Alabama during our vacations. Now that I am finally settling down, my wife and I have decided to move to Gulf Shores to buy a few condos. We love relaxing and enjoying the sun!

Why they chose this property

We love the southern Alabama beaches, and because we have friends living within thirty miles of Gulf Shores, we decided to buy beachfront property. We finally decided to move to Gulf Shores in January 2020 after vacationing here for 20 years. We know you will love our new city as much as we do!
