This home was perfect for our group of 8!! The pool was amazing and the beach was close and peacefully calm. There are body boards, umbrella, beach chairs and sand toys for you to use. There is plenty of seating on the deck around the pool. It’s s about 20 mins back into town for restaurants, groceries, things to do (waterpark, go karts, mini golf). Parlor doughnuts and the hangout were some of our favorites. I highly recommend taking the ferry to dauphin island. They have a great little aquarium there and fort Gaines to explore. Then travel a few miles into town for lunch! This was the perfect kick start to our summer!! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with us. If we ever head back to gulf shores, this is where we are staying!
