Welcome to your bright and spacious beach retreat, located just steps from the sand in Gulf Shores! This fun-filled escape is perfect for families and groups, offering a comfortable and modern coastal experience across two floors.

Shared Property: This listing is for the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building. The 1st-floor unit is a separate rental and may be occupied by other guests.

We respect our guests' privacy and offer a seamless self check-in process. While we won't be on-site, we are always available via the app or phone if you need anything during your stay. Our goal is to ensure you have a wonderful and seamless experience.

The Neighborhood: West Beach Serenity

Our home is located in the heart of West Beach, the most iconic and relaxing stretch of Gulf Shores. This area is uniquely narrow, meaning you are nestled in a "sweet spot" with the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico just steps to your south and the calm, sunset-rich waters of Little Lagoon just to your north.

Why guests love West Beach: You’re away from the high-rise congestion of the "Main Public Beach," giving you more elbow room on the sand while still having dedicated beach access points just seconds away.

The Best of Both Worlds: Spend your morning paddleboarding or fishing in the glassy waters of Little Lagoon, and your afternoon body-surfing in the Gulf waves.

Walkability & Dining: You are just about 1.5 miles from the "T" (the center of town). You’re close enough for a quick bike ride or a 3-minute drive to The Hangout, Bahama Bob’s, and Pink Pony Pub, but far enough away that the nightly festivals won't keep you awake.

Nature & Pass Park: We are a short distance from Lagoon Pass Park, a local favorite where the lagoon meets the Gulf. It’s a fantastic spot for fishing, watching the boats go through the pass, or letting the kids play in the shallow, calm tidal pools. Whether you're here for a high-energy beach vacation or a quiet retreat watching the herons on the lagoon, West Beach offers the most authentic "Island Life" experience in Gulf Shores.

Guests will enjoy seamless self check-in and have private access to the entire 2nd and 3rd floors of the property via a dedicated private entrance. Your private space includes a patio/balcony.

You will also have access to several shared outdoor amenities, which may be used by guests of the 1st-floor unit. These include:
A beach station with premium chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys
An outdoor shower to rinse off after a day in the sun
A BBQ grill for cookouts

Parking is included with five free, dedicated spaces on the premises.


Welcome to your bright and spacious beach retreat, located just steps from the sand in Gulf Shores! This fun-filled escape is perfect for families and groups, offering a comfortable and modern coastal experience across two floors.

The modern, fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, making meal prep a breeze. Step out onto your private sun deck to soak up the coastal atmosphere from your own lounge chairs.

Beach Access
Gulf Village Condo Beach Access: Less than a block west down W Beach Blvd

Gulf Shores Public Beach (The West 10th St Access): 5 min walk down the street

Beach Access (Walking): You are just down the street from the Gulf Village Condo Access or the West 10th Street Public Access. It features a modern boardwalk, restrooms, and outdoor showers-perfect for a quick trip back to the house for lunch.

Biking: This is a very bike-friendly stretch of West Beach Blvd. Many guests enjoy the 1.5-mile scenic ride down to the "T-Intersection" (the main town center).
***Local Tip: Check out Gulf Shores Bike Rentals or Tiki’s Bikes nearby if you want to explore the 28+ miles of trails in Gulf State Park!

Parking: At the property, we provide dedicated off-street parking space for up to 5 vehicles in the shared parking area. Please note that street parking on Beach Blvd is strictly prohibited and monitored by the city.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft are both active in Gulf Shores. They are a great, affordable option for heading to The Hangout or Flora-Bama if you want to skip the search for public parking.

Exploring the Island: If you're feeling adventurous, the Mobile Bay Ferry (20 mins west) can take you and your car over to Dauphin Island for a unique day trip!
