About this property

Ocean Reef 403-Beach side - Perfect Location - 3Bed/2BA Townhouse

*Must be 25 or older - no exceptions!*

Family friendly condo in a quiet setting with no one above you. Prime location on the BEACH SIDE of the boulevard in downtown Gulf Shores with walking distance to plenty of area attractions including restaurants and shopping. Incredibly short walk to The Hangout, Flip Flop Deli Shop, Bahama Bob's Beach Side Cafe, Pink Pony, Pier 33 (groceries), and souvenir shops.

No hassle booking and check-in with KEY-LESS entry! Please let us know who is coming and where you're from.

Low density beach side complex provides a fun setting for a relaxed beach vacation for a large family at a great value. The unit sleeps 9 adults comfortably. With kids you could easily sleep 10 using the pullout couch and/or loading up the bunk beds. The unit has reserved parking with two flights of stairs - no elevator. Being in a town house style will make you feel more a part of the beach compared to a high rise. Enjoy a side view of the beach from EVERY bedroom and a spacious pool area with grills and tables available. We have free WiFi, cable, and 50-55" smart TVs. The pool area is nicely secluded providing convenient family fun and a little more shield on those windy days!

MAIN LEVEL:
The living room offers a leather sofa bed along with two power leather recliners. There are two bedrooms downstairs and a full bath with a tile surround shower. The master has a king platform bed at 16 inch height making it easy to store your suitcase underneath. It features a memory foam mattress with a custom made farm wood head board. Both downstairs bedrooms feature a 50 inch TV, closets, and sliding door to the private balcony for relaxing beach views. The second bedroom has a queen bed. The kitchen is updated with modern backsplash and granite countertops. The dining room has a custom built farmhouse table.

LOFT:
The upstairs loft-bedroom is perfectly set up for a whole separate family. It features a king bed, a twin over full bunk bed and a 50inch TV. Enjoy wonderful views from so many windows. Conveniently, there is a full bath as well upstairs with a tile surround shower.

The complex has public/coin laundry facilities but we conveniently also offer our own stackable washer/dryer in the unit!

PACKING MADE EASY:
-We have a community sharing drawer where you will find trash bags, aluminum foil, sandwich bags, gallon bags, and plastic wrap. There is also a cabinet with basic spices which also includes sugar, baking soda, olive oil, vanilla, flour, brown sugar, vinegar, and non-stick cooking spray. For the benefit of all, we ask that you restock any items as needed.
-We provide all the dishes, silverware, and kitchen utensils and appliances such as a coffee maker, crock pot, blender, toaster, air fryer, pots, pans, bowls, casserole dishes, and pretty much anything you will need to cook full meals.
-For children, we have a mini crib / pack n play fully assembled in the master closet, Fisher Price On-The-Go Shade Dome, and a children’s high chair that can be attached to a kitchen chair.
-Beach towels are rolled and racked next to the front door. Please wash and roll back up before checkout. Two beach chairs are available as well.

No pets and no smoking! Parking $40 per car per stay. Covered and reserved parking directly under the unit with enough length for two vehicles. The complex has good lighting all hours of the night, a security/parking guard, and the unit has a doorbell camera. The pool is serviced professionally but is not heated.

We hope you enjoy your vacation and experience what Gulf Shores has to offer! You will not regret the unit and especially not the location!

This was a great experience with my family and I. It’s in a perfect location with a pretty calm beach setting. Super close to all the great places in Gulf Shores and made it easy for walking places. Also having the pool, close parking, and the grill access was awesome. The host was very accommodating and pleasant to work with. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

Absolute WONDERFUL stay for our family of 5 (with 3 littles.) The location was perfect. It was just steps from the pristine beach (dolphin sightings EVERYDAY) and the clean pool, which made everything so convenient, especially with our kids. The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were looking for. The host was absolutely awesome (responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with.) We would definitely stay here again! 10/10

8/10 Good

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Communication was good with the host but we didn’t realize it was not directly on the beach. There are units behind the property with still a small spot to see the beach. The floors were sticky and dirty when we arrived. But the host was willing to send someone out to clean them for us. There was a swifter mop to mop the floors with so I did so myself. It was convenient to have beach towels and chairs. It would’ve been convenient if they also had a child gate for the stairs. The loft upstairs can be stuffy if the AC downstairs isn’t set low enough. I believe that room can use a mini split rather than the one floor vent.

Thanks for the feedback. I really wish on the first day when I reached out via VRBO and text you would have let me know about the floors instead of on October 1st which was day 6 of your seven day stay. As for the baby gate, I have two at our condo. Again, please reach out if you can’t find something. Also, we are beach side property and I have a picture posted of the view from our deck of the beach. Thanks for the feedback.

We had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was very responsive and easy to work with, which made everything smooth from check-in to check-out. The walk to the beach was short, which we loved. Overall, a great place to stay we really enjoyed it!

Our family of 7 had the best time in Gulf Shores. The weather was cooler than typical for the time of year which was a bummer but we made the best of it. Taunya’s condo at Ocean Reef was a perfect fit for our family - the kids all had comfy beds and the kitchen was well stocked so we could make most of our meals there and keep the trip budget intact! We were grateful for the opportunity to use the sand toys and beach chairs too. Great location - right on the beach and a few souvenir shops and restaurants within walking distance. The local Wal-Mart pick up was quick and easy too for groceries and necessities. We can’t wait to plan our next trip down to Alabama!

This has been our 3rd yearly trip to Gulf Shores, staying at this condo. We are a large group, including 3-4 adults and 5-6 children of all ages. The host has always been amazing; constant communication before, during, and after your stay. We have had no issues, and any questions we may have during our stay are answered promptly. Ignore any poor reviews such as the ceiling (repaired beautifully) or the stairs leading to condo (84 year old grandmother made the trip up and down them every day); the host clearly gives all the details about the property and the pictures don’t fully show how awesome the condo is. It has been the most affordable option for our large family for all 3 years and we plan to come here for many more. There is a ton of room; king bed room, queen bedroom, living room full pullout sofa, and in the loft there is a king bed, a twin over full bunk bed. 9 guests and we never felt on top of one another or crowded.Two good sized bathrooms.Full kitchen with dining area.Full sized washer and dryer. The condo has one unit in front of it before the beach, but from your back patio you have ocean views. 2 minutes from condo door to beach.Parking directly underneath your unit with enough space for a 12-15 passenger van to fit with ample room or two vehicles (SUV like expedition and another car/crossover).Pool is directly in front of unit, 30 seconds from front door. *Excuse our poor pictures, we didn’t take any prior to settling in.

About the host

Hosted by Taunya

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married since 2005. We have four amazing kids. We've been coming to Gulf Shores for years and just recently became owners. Several other relatives are owners in the area and we love vacationing here with our extended family. There are so many fun activities to do with our kids in Gulf Shores.

Why they chose this property

Anything this close to the main intersection (59/Beach Blvd) is prime location with walking distance to it all. You aren't paying for square footage as much as you are paying for location. Plus its on the beach side! You don't have to drive or walk your family across a 5 lane highway. We chose Gulf Shores because we love the white sandy beaches and the beautiful blue water. We have so many special memories with our extended family in Gulf Shores and with our own little family. We also love the family friendly, relaxed atmosphere Gulf Shores offers. There are so many delicious restaurants close by our condo and they are reasonably priced. Our kids have a lot of fun at The Hangout, playing mini golfing, especially playing on the beach, and swimming in the ocean. A place our kids must go every time we are in Gulf Shores is Souvenir City as they call it the Shark Store. It is a short drive to Lulu's and The Track which are a family favorite.

What makes this property unique

We love the town house style our condo has to offer. We also love the pool area is fenced off so our young kids cannot get into the pool area without us opening the gate. Our location is perfect with direct access to the beach, close to so many restaurants especially The Hangout, close to festivals, and a short walk gets you to many of the souvenir shops. Our balcony gives you perfect views of the beach, sounds of waves crashing onto the shore, and our porch gives you the beautiful view of our pool. We like having laundry access right in our condo whereas some other units do not offer this.
