The Veranda - Gorgeous Private Gulf Front Home, Heated Pool & Elevator
The Veranda is an elegant, upscale home designed for weddings, family gatherings, retreats, and larger groups, situated on the beach in Gulf Shores. The 100-foot Gulf-front lot offers panoramic views of the turquoise waters, making it the perfect location for special events.
Thanks to the design team, including a nationally renowned architect, the home combines modern luxury with local charm. Key features include a shaded veranda, ‘haint’ blue porch ceiling, oak flooring, Alabama marble in the powder rooms, and regional artwork. The interiors, with natural hues and beach-inspired accents of blues and greens, blend seamlessly with the outdoor environment. The inclusion of an elevator enhances accessibility, making the property suitable for guests of all ages and mobility levels. A beautiful dune walkover connects the house directly to the beach.
The ground level includes a large open area under the house with recessed ceiling lights and electricity. The property is equipped with an integrated sound system, providing high-quality sound across various areas of the house, deck areas and ground level, ideal for hosting parties or receptions. Stairs or the elevator lead up to the main level. The main level deck features a heated swimming pool and outdoor kitchen.
On the main level, an open floor plan provides versatile seating arrangements for large groups. The living room includes a large flat-screen TV with surround sound and Apple TV, making it perfect for media presentations or family entertainment. The spacious kitchen is equipped with a Wolf 8-burner gas range, multiple ovens, expansive refrigerator and freezer space (total of 3 refrigerators and 2 freezers), and a commercial ice machine, making it easy to serve large groups.
The dining area seats 26+ people with a mix of tables and bar seating. Three dishwashers, large trash bins, and two sinks simplify cleanup.
French doors open onto the covered main deck, offering a stunning beach view, the dune walkover, the outdoor kitchen with a luxury 48” gas grill, and the heated pool. Ceiling speakers provide music for relaxation, parties, or receptions.
The main level includes two handicap-accessible bedrooms with roll-in showers and spacious bathrooms. One bedroom has a direct view of the beach and deck and the other faces the lagoon. We are glad to discuss accessibility needs in detail.
All 10 bedrooms feature luxurious beds, private baths, flat-screen TVs, ceiling fans, bedside reading lights, and electronic outlets, with water views of the Gulf, Lagoon, or both.
The third floor has 5 bedrooms, including two directly Gulf-front. The living/media room on this floor offers a cozy space with seating and electronic amenities, allowing groups to enjoy different movies or presentations. The deck extends the full width of the house, with sun decks at the east and west ends, offering additional space for receptions. A queen-sized sleeper sofa is available in the media room.
The fourth floor is a private retreat and is perfect for wedding couples. There is also a cozy living room space which includes a large L-shaped sofa (with sleeper bed), a wet bar, small refrigerator, ice machine and a microwave. One bedroom boasts an oversized shower and walk-in-closet, and the other a jacuzzi tub, and each bedroom has a comfortable king bed. The living room is equipped with an ethernet connection and workspace. The top Gulf-side deck offers breathtaking views of the coastline.
For larger events or gatherings, The Veranda can be combined with its sister property, Veranda Laguna, a 6-bedroom estate just across the street. Together, these two homes offer unparalleled flexibility, with both Gulf and Lagoon front access, two heated pools, and parking for over 20 vehicles.

The property was everything we thought it would be. Great weather, beach access was perfect and the family enjoyed every bit of the stay. Beach in the morning and pool in the afternoon heat. The house was laid out perfect for the whole family. We will have great memories of the Veranda!
This is an outstanding property in all regards.We had an incredible family reunion with 28 people.There was plenty of room for everyone.Bedrooms all had a full bath.The kitchen is incredible and so are the decks.Right on the beach with an awesome boardwalk over the dunes.We had a baby and a dog and facilities were perfect for them.There are TVs everywhere and are easy to use.I highly recommend and we would return in a heartbeat.It might seem a little expensive but is worth every dollar.The hosts are outstanding.
This is a beautiful property with many positive amenities: beautifully decorated, outstanding view of the gulf, beds are comfortable and private, great showers with good water pressure, 3dishwashers, more than enough dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and small appliances. 3 refrigerators and we filled every one of them. Areas under the house with plenty of room for all of our vehicles and to set upOur corn hole game for tournaments. I encourage guests to explore all the cabinets as we kept finding new treasures ie. games, bowls, nut cracking items, martini supplies, and more.the pool was so appreciated. The elevator took a minute to figure out and was so valuable ( once we actually read the directions). *Remember to close the accordion door when exiting! Convenient now that Alligent flies directly into Gulf Shores. A recommendation for Salt and Sand Media (Tyler Bonner) 706-599-8194 for any photography needs.Last but by not means least, Kelly was super from start to finish in answering all our questions and guiding us with questions re: tvs and appliances and everything in between!
We bring 18 people every couple of years to the beach and the Veranda met everyone of our needs !!! The host was super helpful the entire stay !! I couldn't have asked for better . I'm already booking next trip !
The house was in a perfect location- not right in town, amd not too far out. Beautiful beach area!! The house was everything and more, having our own pool just topped it off! Can't brag on the management team/workers enough, absolutely amazing!
We had a group of 19 people - family & friends -
and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Veranda!!
The location was perfect - easy access to the Gulf. Pool was good. Rooms were large. Weather was perfect.
Great vacation!!!
The house was absolutely beautiful, and the beach was very private. We had our wedding here, and had family of roughly 30 people stay here. Everyone was so complimentary and enjoyed their stay. Couldn’t have picked a better place to have our wedding!
Outstanding property!! Very clean organized and location was wonderful!! Communication with property managers was outstanding as well. Would highly recommend to anyone!!
We spend 5 nights at the Veranda with family and friends. The property has everything you need with the amazing kitchen, heated pool, beach location and the list goes on and on.
We also celebrated our wedding here. Guests were impressed and happy to everything in one spot!
Kelly at the property management office was wonderful to work with!!!
Highly recommend this property!!!
We had our 3 families here with each of our 4 adult families and 8 grand childrens. Location was great since they all live in different parts of the country. All rooms came with complete bathroom and showers. No complaints !
Absolutely beautiful property! The perfect setting for a wedding with plenty of space for everyone!! Kelly is so much help! Anytime we needed her she immediately responded. We plan to be back!
There were 16 of us, aged 7-70! We had the greatest time! The house was perfect for our needs. We had plenty of room and the kitchen was awesome as we did most of our meals at the house! The beach is beautiful, and we loved the boardwalk to the house and the water for rinsing our feet.
Everything was great. It fit our needs perfectly. One complaint…the minimal amount of basic supplies such as toilet paper, trash bags, etc. was annoying. To spend this kind of money and to have to worry about purchasing extra supplies caught us off guard. Should be included in our opinion.
The Verand is absolutely a beautiful home & great location. There are some maintenance issues needed
Beautiful, but maintaining the home is needed. In order to keep the home as a wedding venue or vacation rental. If you would like a list
Let me know.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 May 2024
We appreciate the suggestions by text and I have already reviewed the neglected grill cleaning with the cleaning company owner. We will check for missing caulk at the bathroom edge. The bathrooms (and whole house) are regularly deep cleaned including professional steaming of showers; however two with natural stone have mineral deposits fixed only by replacing all the tile which otherwise we like. We completely agree to take care of these (and always ongoing) maintenance things. We are glad you had a wonderful blessed wedding, that the house was great, and an amazing place.
Beautiful, spacious, steps from clean beach. Stocked with beautiful dishes and every kind of pot and griddle you could ever need. Downside 1 dishtowel and 1 sponge, 1 roll of paper towels, and no trash liners salt pepper or keurig pods!
Our family loved it though.
Overall everything was excellent. Plenty of storage for refrigerated items and dry goods. Loved the ice makers on every floor. Wide open kitchen fully stocked with pots, pans, silverware, etc. Also plenty of storage for dry goods. Plenty of space considering there were 12 in our group. One small comment: The grills were not clean and there were a few knobs missing from the cabinets.
This home is everything we could have possibly wished for you. We stayed here with family for our daughter’s wedding and from the moment we stepped through the door it was a dream come true. The beach is pristine, the house so well equipped. (3 refrigerators, 2 ovens, and 3 dishwashers sure came in handy) Everyone slept so comfortably, and my only regret is we couldn’t stay longer! Kelly is such a sweetheart and always available to answer any questions. Thank you for the most beautiful, fun, wonderful wedding venue!
Best vacation ever! I was initially apprehensive about 6 families (12 adults 18 kids from 1-16) all staying under 1 roof. The house was so large, well laid out and well appointed that it made the experience perfect! Full bathrooms and large bedrooms made everyone comfortable with their own space. The location on the beach was perfect! Very secluded! We ate every dinner at the house. The huge kitchen with 3 dishwashers made cooking and cleanup a breeze. My favorite feature and the real mvp of the stay was the commercial ice maker. It handled the ice needs of our large group all week.
Kelly, the property manager was fantastic to work with every step of the way.
We will definitely be booking again!

About the host
Hosted by George
My wife and I have been Gulf coast beach goers all of our lives, from Point Clear to Panama City. Living a short drive from the coast, we are able to enjoy it often, of course more as vacation home owners. We enjoy sharing our house and hearing about the wonderful vacations that have been had.
Why they chose this property
My wife and I built this house after much time and thought about what we would want in a dream house - applied to larger gatherings. This is the fruit of our labor, hopefully to be treasured by many and making for lifetimes of memories.
What makes this property unique
The beauty of the house and beach, the amenities and design, and the comfortable space for even large groups of 30 are unique in a house for the regional Gulf Coast.
