The Gulf of Mexico beach is steps away from this beautiful ocean view condo at the Gulf Shores Plantation. Sitting on the 16ft wide balcony, you can see the Gulf of Mexico as well as the beautifully maintained courtyard and the pool just below you to the right and just beyond it, the hot tub. The ocean's horizon to the left. The nearby boardwalk means this unit is one of the closest to the beach in this gated community. The private beach is wide with white sugar sand and early morning can find you have the whole beach to yourself. There are other pools on the premises as well as tennis courts, golf, on and on.
