You'll love Seafoam! Beachfront. Pool. 6 BR, sleeps 18. Nice.
Seafoam 1499 West Beach Blvd
Seafoam is a wonderful 6BR 6BA, Gulf Shores, stand-alone home... no sharing! Right on the beach. Private Pool. Large decks. Extra fridge. More. Nice!
Located directly on the beach of the Gulf, just waiting for you to come and enjoy the surf and sand! Perfect home for reunions, large get togethers, or families seeking space in an upscale setting with unparalleled beachfront access. Most rooms have en suite baths. Sleeps 22. Pool. Awesome decks! What more could you ask!?
Seafoam has the following bedding arrangements:
2nd Flr NE BR: King, en suite bath 2nd Flr NW BR: 2 x Twin Beds 3rd Flr NE BR: 2 x Queen, en suite bath 3rd Flr NW BR: 2 x Twin Beds, separate bath, shared with bonus room 3rd Flr SE BR: King, en suite bath 3rd Flr SW BR: King, en suite bath
Living Room: QSS 3rd Floor Bonus Room: QSS+ single day bed
This immaculate two story home has spacious decks. In fact, each bedroom has a deck. The large great room area is close to 900 square feet with decks facing the gulf. There is a carport underneath the home provides covered parking with a storage unit and an outdoor, enclosed, shower and an open, outdoor shower.The house also features two outdoor picnic tables. Seafoam has a shaded pool underneath, perfect for children or those looking to avoid too much sun.
The large, open kitchen has a garbage disposal, dishwasher, microwave, and TWO refrigerator/freezers, and custom-made cabinets. The home also offers televisions, dvd players, cable, internet, telephone with free domestic long distance, a washer/dryer, and ceramic tiled living and dining rooms and baths. The entire house is beautifully decorated and features a stain glass window in the stairwell.
PARKING Plenty of off street parking for up to 8 vehicles. Really more than you should be driving to a home that sleeps this many!
POOL? You bet. Private pool. Sheltered under the home. Great respite from the heat! It is primarily a rectangle with outside dimensions and depth of 22x11x3-5' Rectangle
WIFI/INTERNET YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home!? That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like? It is generally solid and ran > 250Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests "troubleshooting" it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!
SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a "starter supply" of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.
PETS We do consider well-behaved canine furry friends. This requires owner pre-approval, and is subject to a pet fee (currently $250 per pet). Please inquire.
No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!
That's it! We think you'll have a great stay in our home. Reach out and let us know how we can help!
SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful house the location was perfect for a large family with kids. The small private beach let them play in the sand without going out to the public beach.
Had a wonderful stay with our kids and grandkids. A short drive to town if you want to shop or go out to eat but the real gem is being right on a non crowded beach. We spent most of our time sitting in the sand or playing in the surf. Will definitely be back.

❤️ Love Seafoam! So many great memories!
We had another great trip to your properties. This was a return to Seafoam. It truly feels like out home away from home. So many great memories of family and friends from so many years! Bittersweet remembering those no longer with us yet so important for being connected with those around us! We just love our time. Thank you for always having us--oh and nice work on the place! Very clean and nice updates too! 🙂

Love the updates!
We had another wonderful winter trip at Seafoam. We just love out time here. The updates and upgrades were lovely and everything was in great shape for our arrival. Thank you for having us these many years. See you next year!
Beautiful home right on the beach. Exceptionally clean and well-stocked kitchen, plenty of parking and quiet location, but within a short drive to restaurants and shops. Our family loved it. The only thing I would mention to potential renters is there are a lot of stairs to get to main level so unloading luggage, groceries may be a concern for someone not able to do a lot of stairs.
We had a great time and enjoyed the house and the views!

Check in was extremely easy and hassle free. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans and cooking utensils.

Highly recommend!
Our group (7 adults and 2 toddlers) really enjoyed our stay here. The views of the beach are amazing from the first and second floors. The little ones really loved the shaded pool. Rick was always responsive and helpful from booking until checkout. This was our group's first trip together to Gulf Shores and we certainly hope not our last. Highly recommend!

Awesome! Thank you so much Hallie for the kind words about your fabulous Thanksgiving stay in our home. I really appreciate the warm fuzzies and love that you all had a great family get together at Seafoam! Reach out when ready to lock in the return or if you have any suggestions too!

Great location and access to the beach. We were more than comfortable with 13 people.

👋 Hi Steve & Marcia! We’re so glad you enjoyed your family getaway — sun, surf, shrimp, and plenty of fun! — and that perfect beachfront setting is exactly what Seafoam is all about. 😊
Thank you for sharing more details privately. Guest safety and comfort are always top priorities, and our maintenance team has reviewed the items you mentioned. For future stays, a quick message during your trip is the fastest way to get things resolved — whether it’s a beeping smoke detector, a finicky slider, or a blender that won’t blend. 😉 Hosts truly want to help in real time!
Some items you mentioned (no beach towels, gas grill, pool heater) aren’t standard for most Gulf Shores vacation homes and aren’t advertised for this property. We highlight those details in the listing and pre-arrival info so guests can choose the right home and plan their vacay!
Regarding the beds, you found them firm. We wish every guest could have a tailored setup, but comfort varies widely — I like firm mattresses and soft pillows, while my wife is the opposite. Many guests love these beds and even ask where they’re from, though preferences naturally differ.
We genuinely appreciate your feedback. Seafoam consistently earns 5-star reviews 🌟, and we’re committed to keeping that standard. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and your Gulf Shores getaway, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back! 🌊😊

Wonderful home for us
We had an wonderful time at the Seafoam house in Gulf Shores. It fit us well, and the beach was amazing. Great location, and the management company was very fast to help us same day some very minor things. We hope to return in the future.
Awesome! 😎😎😎. Thank you SO much for staying in my place and for taking the time to share your 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience! Think fondly of Seafoam, and DM me or Bama Beach Houses when ready to lock in the return! Thanks again! 🙏
We had a great week. The kitchen was well stocked and the rooms were good size!

Terrific! Thanks so much Stacey. I am glad to hear you and the family had a great week in our home. I reached out to see what we can do to ensure we earn the last wayward star back for your return to our home, or to one of our other places, since I don't see anything 'wayward' in the review itself! There is, of course, always room for improvement! Thanks again! Reach out if you need anything at all.

About the host

Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. 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 lot of large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf.
Seafoam is a terrific house in the heart of West Beach Blvd in Gulf Shores. Great layout. Great beach. Expansive views from the deck. A favorite among our family friends for a great balance of features, location, and affordability.
Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique
Seafoam is in a great beachfront location on West Beach, about midway down, and before you get to the Calloway Bridge. Seafoam is a favorite of our family friends and snowbirds! In fact, no, you generally can't get Seafoam anytime from December to start of April, but then its fair game for all. Very very full with repeat guests, so if a slot is open, lock it down!
