About RACHEL SAUDER
My husband and I have been married since 1989 and have come to Gulf Shores almost every single one of those years! Our 5 children have grown up spending almost every spring break here! We feel so blessed to have the dream of owning our own condo finally come true!
RACHEL SAUDER purchased this Townhome in 2014
Why RACHEL SAUDER chose Gulf Shores
We love the location of Central Gulf Shores! Enough happening that the kids don't get bored, lots of things w/in walking distance, but yet not over-crowded like so many vacation places have become and very family friendly! We loved the lay-out of this unit, the fact that it has and upstairs and downstairs just gives everyone more room to spread out! We love the fact that it has a bedroom on the main floor w/it's own full bathroom. So nice when we brought our elderly parents down w/us for a week! We have never been a fan of the high-rise big, too crowded, less security & safety! Too much time waiting for elevators! We love not having to be worried about security in this small 16 unit complex! It just has a 'safe' feeling to it and most of the units here are owner occupied. It's a great place for kids! It's a very comfortable, quiet complex! We just absolutely fell in love with this place!!!
What makes this Townhome unique
The Sands is a tiny PEARL of a complex w/only 16 units! The perfect place to experience the authentic "beach town" feel of Gulf Shores!! We love that this is NOT a high rise complex! Very small complex, each unit w/a private entrance. No waiting on slow, smelly elevators :) The beautiful beach across the street has conveniently located outdoor showers and restrooms. This area is also very family friendly and safe!

Excellent Vacation
We had a wonderful stay. Easy beach access and many places to walk or bike to. The beach supplies (boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas). Were much appreciated. Home is very nice and host is very easy to work with.
Wonderful!
This property was perfect for our family of 7! Great location, very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our family time.
Wonderful!
Our family of 5 enjoyed this cute townhome very much! It was close to the beach and restaurants. The kitchen had everything we needed. Loved that there was an electric griddle! Thank you!
First time to Gulf Shores
This place was amazing had everything we needed very clean and close to everything! Love the close access to the beach area and the pool basically right there. Our first family vacation was perfect and will definitely be back. Thank you so much!
Cozy beach home! Great location! Easy communication with property owners!
We really enjoyed our stay! This beach home offered everything we needed from cozy space to an ice maker in the freezer to beach towels to umbrellas and beach toys! We got to check in early which was great after a long day of traveling! The house was very clean! The washer and dryer and fully furnished kitchen made our stay even better! The property owners have a well stocked home. They had everything from a baby gate to extra blankets to extra fans. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had and very easy to get in touch with which we greatly appreciated! We have zero complaints and would no doubt stay here again! Highly recommend to others!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review! Please come back and visit soon!
Map
Our unit is located directly across the street from the beach w/safety cross walk zone. With in walking distance is a small grocery store (pier 33) and restaurants such as Bahama Bobs & The Hangout, and several souvenir shops. This is an ideal location for families w/teens or small children, or a couples retreat. More than anything we want you to be comfortable and feel 'right at home'. We hope you enjoy your stay w/us :)
