Please note: this home is absolutely beachfront. It is located right on the gulf, with nothing between you and the gulf except the sand dunes. However, as with many areas on the gulf, you CANNOT walk directly from the back of this home to the water because of the protected dunes. They serve a very important role in protecting the homes, and harboring wildlife, and walking over them is not allowed as it breaks them down. However, there is a nice wide boardwalk right off our little private cul de sac (in fact, right by the closest of the pools which is ALSO right on our cul de sac, 2 homes over, so "right there"). This short boardwalk takes you directly to the beach/water, and, as a bonus, is great for folks who may have mobility concerns or may be lugging stuff in wagons or what have you! :-)
PLANTATION RESORT. AMENITIES GALORE! The “Gulf and Golf” is located in the Plantation resort, next to the beautiful 18 hole Kiva Dunes Championship Golf Course. Approximately 12 miles west of Gulf Shores on Fort Morgan Parkway at Gulf Shores Plantation. Same great white sand beaches! Wonderful amenities, and at a great rate!
Kiva Grill and Sassy Bass Island Grill are both in the resort, and less than a half mile walk from this beachfront unit! Food, drink. Ultra convenient!
Amenities on the Plantation grounds include 1 indoor and 6 outdoor swimming pools, whirlpool, lighted tennis courts, basketball court, putting green, game rooms, volleyball, secluded beach, and cabanas. What all is presently available? Let's look!
6 Outdoor Pools Indoor Pool Indoor/Outdoor Hot Tubs Fitness Center Sauna/Steam Rooms 7 Lighted Tennis Courts Shuffleboard Court Basketball Court Volleyball Courts Game Room Horseshoe Pits Outdoor BBQ Grills/Picnic Tables Umbrella/Beach Chair Rentals Beach Store/Coffee Bar Onsite Restaurant - Sassy Bass Island Grill Laundry Facilities Gated Community 24/7 Security Adjacent to Kiva Dunes Golf Course ** Resort wide amenities subject to change, temporary or permanent closure, and are not guaranteed. Sorry!
Located on Fort Morgan, Gulf & Golf is close to many restaurants, golf courses, and other things to do, feels away from it all (but is only a short drive to all the hubbub on Gulf Shores itself), and is often a more cost-efficient choice for those who seek something a little more laid back.
We offer HUGE discounts for month-long winter stays (up to 80%), a 7 for the price of 6 night special many times of the year (it is already factored into weekly pricing on VRBO!), and if you have a special request, e.g., for a non-Saturday check-in, we are happy to consider it. Please note, generally stays must be Saturday to Saturday during the summer--G&G is just way to popular and busy then to make exceptions. Sorry!
How can I help you? Looking forward to hosting you family or group!

We loved our stay here! Access to the resort amenities was amazing and the oceanfront view was stunning! The pools were cold, but the kids still swam and we utilized the indoor pool as well. House was clean and as described & we had easy communication with the hosts. We would stay here again if we decide to come back to the area.

Loved our time at Gulf and Golf!
We enjoyed our stay at the beach. We enjoyed watching the waves from the deck! Also the Sun rise and sunset are both beautiful! The bed was very nice and comfortable! The two problems we had, hvac on main floor didn't work on our arrival and birds in the vent, were both handled quickly and without interruption of our stay. Great job! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your home and for your hospitality!

Gulf & Golf. The only problem: too short a stay!
We had a great stay, everything was wonderful, my family had a great vacation, like always, wasn't long enough, you have a beautiful place.
House was ok just not hardly worth the amount paid

🥳 Hi Loyd! Thanks for the great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review. We’re glad you enjoyed Gulf & Golf East — the spacious layout, beachfront vibes, and Plantation resort amenities (including the indoor pool for sideways weather) are all designed for relaxing, fun Gulf Shores getaways. 🏖️💦
We were a bit surprised to see a star lost for pricing, as this home is often highlighted for exceptional value compared to similar beachfront homes in the area. Since we didn’t hear from you during or after your stay, we’d love to know what you were comparing or what could have made your visit even better.
For a 5-bedroom beachfront home with private pool, decks, and all amenities, the nightly cost per bedroom is markedly less than a standard hotel room off the beach. VRBO’s service fees and optional insurance do add considerably to the cost, but the home itself remains a true value — and you even scored a rare complimentary night, making it an even better deal! 😉
We’d love to hear any specifics about what could improve your stay — feedback from all our guests helps us keep elevating the experience. We reached out multiple times during and after your stay, including via VRBO, email, and text (we try to be super easy to contact!)… we’re always just a message away!
We hope you’ll consider returning here or one of our other great places — GG books fast, and many other guests know it’s one of the best values on the beach. We’d be delighted to host you again and make your next visit truly 5-star! 😎
This was a great place for 8 adults, 3 kids, 1 baby. We all had plenty of space. The beds were all super comfortable. Views of the beach were perfect and the property itself is extremely nice. We would love to come back again!

Great stay! This was a very nice vacation property. The location is great and having access to the resort pools, tennis courts, and exercise facility was perfect. I would stay here again!

Beautiful! No issues.
This townhome was great for my family - very spacious! It was well stocked with utensils and all things needed. The location was absolutely perfect — especially for all the small kids we had - very close to one of many pools and the walk to the beach was only 3-4 minutes.
This property is perfection! Just a few steps to the beach and the pool, this house had everything we could ask for! Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, refrigerator and pantry space, and the location is a quick drive to every thing we wanted to do while on our vacation. We will definitely book here again if possible!

Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. I'm interested in why people do the things they do, what we can do to change those things so that folks live happier and healthier lives, and how technology can help. Plus, well, I love Gulf Shores!
My wife's family have traveled to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach Alabama for decades. I became a tag along in the late 1990s, so a Gulf Shores guy by marriage. One thing led to another and we ended up a several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf. Why I like G&G? The Plantation is a great resort community. You get there, and you never have to leave, and yet its only 15 minutes back to Walmart, King Neptunes, and the rest of the Gulf Shores hubbub. The beach? Same beach as the main West Beach drag. In fact, if you are a runner, especially a beach runner, you can run the sands from G&G to West Beach and back. It's only about a mile or so past the end of West Beach Blvd on the sands. You just can't get there in a car because the nice nature preserve is in the between. Great place to stay, with super amenities both in the unit and around the resort.
Location. Location. Location. Right on the beach, AND in a resort community with its own PGA-qualifier course AND multiple pools and hot tub! Much more... Gulf & Golf is well-accommodated, sleeps up to 32 when you stay in both sides (this listing is for the one side but we own both... contact us if you have smaller, or BIGGER, needs). G&G is a great choice if you want the benefits of a home right on the beach but also the niceties of a resort community--but without the condo/hotel vibe.
Plus. Lower lodging taxes! Save 10%!
