About this property
Steps From the Beach! Great Little Lagoon Views and Pier! Heron Landing Unit 2
Fun In The Sun! The name says it all! As the Owners of this terrific vacation rental, we would like to invite you to share in the many things to experience as you enjoy your stay in Fun In The Sun!
What are you looking for in your vacation home? Playtime on the beach? Okay, that would be less than 100 yards from the front door by way of your boardwalk beach access. Fishing, kayaking or paddle boarding in the Little Lagoon? Okay, that’s only 10 yards out the door. Swimming? Try the pool to the back of the house. Quiet, peaceful relaxation? Try awakening in your bed looking out to the gulf or sitting in your living room looking out on the peaceful Little Lagoon, or sitting on one of the three decks watching beautiful sunsets. This house has it all! Located 3.7 miles from the intersection of Hwy 59 at 1964 West Beach Blvd. facing the lagoon. You are close to the many great restaurants and shopping but yet in a very quiet part of Gulf Shores.
This house has a view of the Gulf of Mexico from two of the bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has French doors leading out to a deck overlooking the pool and a view of the gulf. There are also great views of Little Lagoon from the kitchen, dining area and living room on the first floor and from the second floor. The greatest thing about this house is the location. It sits directly on Little Lagoon! You can sit on the grass in front of the house, in a chair under the house, or on either of the two decks on the 1st and 2nd levels and watch the boats go by, watch the various birds catching fish, or just enjoy looking at the water. Little Lagoon is a 10-mile long body of salt water where you can fish (spotted trout, redfish, flounder, croakers, stingrays and many other fish call the Lagoon home) and crab day and night. Of course, you can clean your fish at the fish cleaning station at the pier, which goes out into the Little Lagoon. The kids will also enjoy the shared swimming pool. There is also a small beach area right on the lagoon that is great for the kids if the ocean waves are a bit rough. Have your own boat? Launch it using our boat ramp. This is not a condo but rather a townhouse. You only have one neighbor. Very hard to find a 3 bedroom, 3 bath townhouse with a gulf view, sitting directly on Little Lagoon, with fishing in the Lagoon and gulf, a swimming pool and in a quiet area of Gulf Shores! Enjoy biking? You can enjoy the bike-friendly road equipped with bike lanes that lead directly to the Hangout in the heart of Gulf Shores. If you enjoy deep sea, or bay fishing, it is available just down the road at Zeke's Landing.
This home features 3 bedrooms, all with queen size beds plus bunk beds (with a full sized mattress on the bottom) in the upstairs bedroom. There are also 3 full baths, each connected to a bedroom. Two bedrooms and two baths are upstairs and one has an incredible view of the Lagoon and has sliding glass doors onto a large deck, while the other has an ocean and pool view from the window. The third bedroom and bath is downstairs and looks out over the swimming pool and to the gulf. It also opens onto a deck. There are tables and chairs on all the decks. On the first floor are the kitchen, eating area, living room, and washer and dryer. Sliding doors take you from the living room onto the first-floor deck overlooking the lagoon. The living room has ample sitting options, including a queen sofa sleeper. Note... it goes without saying but sofa sleepers are best for kids! The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need. Eating options include a table and chairs with a great lagoon view or pull a stool up to, the bar separating the kitchen and living room. There is a 42’ high definition TV in the living room and 32’ high definition TVs in each bedroom with Directv service. Plus, there are 3 DVD players and DVDs for all ages. There are also lots of games, books puzzles, and toys for everyone to enjoy. Wireless internet is also provided throughout the house. Finally don’t worry about your vehicles since you can park three small vehicles or two, large vehicles under the house.
Come see for yourself and you will never want to leave as you will be having so much Fun in the Sun!

The view of the lagoon and the privacy was wonderful. The property is tastefully decorated and the beds are confortable.
We really enjoyed our stay.
The owners, Rick and Lisa were great to respind to any questions.
We couldn’t have asked for a better beach getaway to spend the 4th of July! The lagoon view/access with easy beach access was the perfect combination for our family and we have already rebooked for next year! We can’t wait to be back and highly recommend this wonderful home to anyone looking for a great place to stay!
This rental was exactly what we wanted. It was filled with everything we needed. It made our stay perfect. It was close to the beach, we could come in mid day and have a meal and a nap and then back to the beach for the evening. We will be back!
Right on the Little Lagoon where we took our Hobie kayaks out fishing (caught trout and redfish) in the mornings and then a short walk across the road to the beach in the afternoons. The place had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The location was the highlight!
Lots of sun, fun, and sand! Beach is close. Kids had fun at the small beach at the property fishing and finding crabs and hermit crabs. Condo was clean with plenty of room for all!
We take a friends vacation every year and this year did not disappoint. We had a great time with a the ocean a few steps away and a beautiful lagoon right in the back yard. We had a blast at the restaurant called the Hang Out with great food and fun party atmosphere for the whole family.
This is our second stay at this condo. We love the location on the bay and it's a close drive to everything you could want. This trip we enjoyed fishing off the pier and exploring the waters of the bay. The walk to the gulf beach is close and easy. Gorgeous views, peaceful setting, and just the perfect spot!
This place was everything we needed for our stay plus more! The location on the bay side and a quick walk to the beach made this place perfect for the kids and adults! We already looked to book it again! The owner was very responsive to our needs. The kitchen was stocked well! Lots of space.
We came to Gulf Shores as a family for the Sand in my Boots festival. Condo is only 8 minutes from the hangout driving, a 2 minute walk to the beach and outside view of the bay! We’ll-satisfied!
We loved this rental. The location was great. It had the lagoon out the back door and the Gulf a very short distance out the front. We could fish either location. There was plenty of space for four adults to spread out. We would definitely stay there again.
Fun in the Sun rental was everything we hoped for. Great location, outstanding beach access, and a pier to enjoy and fish from on the little lagoon. The condo was extremely clean and was large enough for all my children and grandchildren to stay. The property manager was extremely prompt in all interactions. I would highly recommend this rental and will not hesitate to stay here again. It's definitely a 5 star location.
We really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. There is everything you need. I was surprised to even find spices in one of the kitchen cabinets. You will not regret staying here!
We had a great time at the condo. Gulf Shores is still repairing damage from the Hurricane Sally and portions of the property are still in repair (pool and dock), as is most of the properties on the strip. The owners were upfront about it and were very accommodating to our needs. Our family enjoyed the Lagoon and the Beach, the condo itself was well stocked and roomy enough for 2 couples and 4 children. The kids had a blast!

Just an update on the Hurricane Sally damage. Repairs to the pool and fishing pier have been completed. We have a great group of Owners in the complex and we all pitched in and now have the only completed pier in Little Lagoon. It is ready for fishing and crabbing again. The pool and security fence is repaired and ready for swimming.
Loved the location, the surrounding people. The only thing I could complain about is all these places at the beach need ice makers of some kind and a bigger refrigerator. Besides that I was pleased with everything else.
Great location. Property is part of a duplex that sits right on the bay with a dock 10 feet away. The beach is about a 2 minute walk. Short drive to 59 where most of the restaurants and shops are in gulf shores. Each bedroom has a bathroom attached and two of three bedrooms have walk out decks. Overall very pleased with this spot.
The location of the townhouse was great, especially with the beach being within walking distance. We caught a variety of fish and a lot of crab off the dock. The fishing dock can get a little crowded if there is more than 2-3 people fishing. The only downfall was sharing a stairwell to access the dock area with the adjacent townhouse. Sharing the stairs was a little awkward when coming and going.
Some people go to Gulf Shore to be on the gulf/ocean. We enjoyed being right on the lagoon. So many water fowl daily and the sound of lapping water was so peaceful. We like being on the west end as there is less traffic. Nice getting to know neighbors. Accommodations were very comfortable. Owner was very responsive. We’ve booked again for next year.

About the host
Hosted by Lisa & Randy Hathcock
Why they chose this property
We have been coming to vacation along the Gulf for over two decades and of all of the places we have visited, we kept coming back to Gulf Shores. Our family has always enjoyed this area because of the family environment and the old town feel where you can still walk to shops or restaurants. There are still family activities like putt-putt golf, fishing, amusement parks and dining. We stayed at this great vacation rental and enjoyed it so much that when we had the opportunity to purchase it, we did so and decided to continue to share it with others who come back year after year and rent the house for their vacation as we did.
