Enjoy the large flat-screen TV, complete with a Roku streaming device so you can have access to all your favorite shows and movies. The kitchen is fully stocked with top-of-the-line amenities—from a Keurig coffee maker to cookware, plates, bowls, and more – so you can make yourself at home without having to worry about bringing anything extra.
POOL You will have access to your own 20-foot heated pool. The pool is 3’ deep on one end and 4’11” at the deep end. We have the temp set to 78 degrees, and the kids enjoyed the pool temperature.
*Please note that the pool heater (heat pump) will NOT work when the ambient temperature dips below 57 degrees. The heat pump takes the heat from the ambient air to heat the pool water. When it drops below about 57 degrees outside, there is not enough heat to activate the heat pump.
PETS Dogs are welcome. We allow up to 2 dogs, with a pet fee of $75 per dog. Please bring bags and clean up after your pets.
BEACH ESSENTIALS We JUST bought a bunch of beach toys for guests to use. You won't have to worry about bringing umbrellas, beach chairs, a beach wagon, or kids' sand toys.
OUTDOORS There is an outdoor shower so you can rinse off the sand as you walk back from the beach. There is also an outdoor grill available for your use. Kindly bring your own charcoal.
PARKING Never worry about parking! There's free parking space for up to 3 cars.
NEIGHBORHOOD This single-floor home is in a residential neighborhood. The neighborhood and backyard are perfect for grilling out, enjoying a fire, and laughing with your friends and family. Please respect our friends and neighbors and avoid loud, large parties. Please treat the neighbors like you live there.

We had the most wonderful week at Ona house. We loved being able to bring our dog with us to enjoy the beach with us as a family. We talk about this trip often and how perfect it was! It is a little bit of a drive to “town”, but we didn’t mind at all. Thank you for a wonderful week!

Loved the pool and the wagon and beach toys. That made life a a little easier. A few little issues but the property owner stayed in contact and made it work.

Two adults, one child, and two dogs enjoyed our stay. The Ona house had easy access to the beach, plus beach supplies. The house was nice and clean, plus super comfy. The pool was an added bonus. I’d never been to the beach in the fall, but I will definitely be going back. The weather was perfect. Thank you, Mr. Tom for being a great host.

About the host
Hosted by Tom Ackley
We are from the frozen tundra that is Wisconsin. After visiting the area with our family, we fell in love with this side of Gulf Shores. We wanted a beach house so we could relax in the white sand with our children as they grow up and look forward to helping your family create memories here!
Why they chose this property
We purchased this beach house because our family enjoys traveling to Gulf Shores, exploring its beaches and wildlife, visiting all the attractions it has to offer and simply getting away from home.
What makes this property unique
Staying at The Ona, offers guests a truly unforgettable coastal experience. Enjoy direct beach access, salty ocean breeze, and the natural beauty of the coastal dunes. With a variety of dining options, shopping experiences, and water sports activities nearby, you'll have everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. And with the added luxury of a heated pool, you can unwind and relax even during cooler months.
