Loved our stay

We loved staying right by the water, the sunrises and sunsets, and doing some fishing. We were very comfortable!

If you want a pure beach experience, visit Boscos.

We stayed Thanksgiving week at Boscos. The size and layout was perfect for two couples and one adult child. It was closer to the water than we gathered from the add which was a welcome plus. Quiet with minimal beach traffic. It is an older property (though it has been updated) so if you’re looking for brand new, this may not be the place for you. We found it reminiscent of childhood vacations at the beach and just what we were looking for. We would definitely go back.

Beach house

We loved the location of the house; just a few steps right into the ocean! Watching the sun come up and go down from the balcony was fabulous!

We were so impressed with this house; it was very clean. There were some soft spots on the floor but other than that is was a perfect house to stay in. There was plenty of beach and pool toys. The kitchen had everything we needed. We will definitely be back. Thank you for such an amazing time.

Absolutely loved, want to go again!

Melissa is great! You can not beat the location! Let me repeat nothing is better than being right on the beach, especially with little ones! Little pool was so fun for them too, felt refreshing during our stay in July. Outdoor shower and hoses definitely came in handy! All the beds were super comfy. Neighborhood was so pleasant. We like being away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy beach scene, but within a quick drive to have some fun in Gulf Shores.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Wilbanks 901-438-1107

We are Melissa and Eddie and we just added Boscos Beach Bungalow to our already popular Melonheads Beach House located just three doors down. This cute little four bedroom had the name "Watters Edge" from previous owners but we will be changing the name to Bosco’s Beach Bungalow. It is named after our dog Bosco that was with us for 16 years and passed away right before we bought this house.
We have been coming to the beach together for 36 years and have enjoyed the beaches of Gulf Shores and Fort Morgan for over 25 years of that. We dreamed of owning a beach house for many years and were so excited to go under contract with our first home in 2018. We are now adding a second option with Boscos Bungalow and it is only a few houses down from Melonheads, which is a 5 bedroom 3.5 bath home that accommodates 12. VRBO 1521626

Why they chose this property

We did not plan to buy a house when this opportunity presented itself to us. Hurricane sally made a mess that the previous owners just didn’t want to deal with anymore. We bought the house in 2021 and started the renovations from floor to ceiling! Most of the interior has been renovated and updated and we are still working on the exterior, but the home has become very popular with return guests and it stays booked! We love that this is a one story home with a small "cocktail" pool that is right on the beach. The floorplan is very conducive to two small families coming with their kids, offering two bedroom and a bath on each oppposite sides of the house. But it also offers a large open family room and kitchen for coming together. Sit on the deck and watch the dolphins, sunset and gorgeous ocean views.

What makes this property unique

The floor plan is comfortable and quite spacious, though that is deceiving from the outside. The open plan is popular with our guests as well as with our families. This is a second home for our family and we try to spend time here when we can.
