About this property

JULY 4 WEEK OPEN! SUNDIAL-ON THE BEACH, 3/2, POOL. LESS CROWDED AREA OF BEACH.

Sundial is a small, three-story beachfront property (24 units total) with covered parking, elevator, and a beachfront pool. It is sitting in the sand on West Beach, in a low density area of Gulf Shores. There is a very large private balcony which can be accessed from the living area and the master bedroom.

King bedding is in the master BR, queen bedding is in the 2nd BR, two twins in the 3rd bedroom and a queen-size sleeper sofa is in the living area.

All you need to bring with you for a fabulous beach vacation is your swim suit and beach towel! There is a restaurant, ice cream shop and a beach market just across the street.

We do not rent to single adults under the age of 27. Parking is limited with 1 assigned spot per unit. 2 cars max and then, only on a space available basis.

Needed VACATION

It was an amazing week spent here! Myself, daughter, daughter in law and 3 grandchildren, ages 2-15, 8. We love the view, the beach, both pools! Our place was very accommodating for us! We cooked, kept our laundry up, sitting on the balcony listening to the waves. We are gonna keep this place on our favorite list for future visits

Great family stay!

We had a great time! Owner was easy to get in touch with and we had everything we needed. The twin bedroom is a loft not a bedroom. Also, the pull out couch bed was very uncomfortable. Overall, we had a great time and loved our stay!

We loved our stay!

This was our first time in Gulf Shores, and the description is perfectly worded. The two twin beds are in a loft, but the entire place has tons of space. We’re a family of 5 and never once felt crowded. The kitchen is fully stocked, the entire place was clean, and the elevator worked perfectly. Mary is very nice and provided all information well in advance. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great place

The condo was exactly as described. It had a good view. The condo had plenty of room. The beach was beautiful. The covered parking garage was a plus keeping the vehicle cooler. The pool was kinda small but we spent most of the time on the beach. I would highly recommend staying at this rental.

Steps from the Beach

The location was great. You are steps from the beach which was perfect for our kids. Housekeeping had not been there when we arrived, & it late so housekeeping came the next morning. Mary was very responsive & helpful. The condo is as advertised.
