About the host
Hosted by Kaylyn Cutchen
We are Will and Kaylyn Cutchen. We are empty nester's these days looking forward to retirement soon. Somehow, we were able to get the 5 kiddo's we produced to adulthood! They all now have spouses and offspring of their own. With 9 grandsons, it would rock our world if a granddaughter comes to be! We have built our careers in the logistics industry. We are both certified scuba divers hence our desire for a place on the beach! Will’s love of the water further motivated him to become a dive master, which gives him the fulfillment of helping to certify new students every summer through a local dive shop. Kaylyn’s hobby is photography, often photographing high school seniors & family photos free of charge for single mothers.
We genuinely hope you enjoy your stay in Gulf Shores and love our get-away place as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because we love the beach and the community atmosphere of the The Beach Front. The beach is 36 steps from our door with no busy streets to cross! Gulf Shores is a family friendly vacation town with lots to do and see. Restaurants are plenty and the beach is a must any time of day. We hope you take a stroll, watch the sun set/rise and enjoy everything that Gulf Shores has to offer!
What makes this property unique
Our condo is within walking distance (1.5 mile) of the popular Hang Out. We also have a small grocery store, ice cream shop, seafood supply and wonderful local restaurant just across the street. The best thing about our condo is of course the location! You will also find the condo clean, spacious and containing everything you need to make your stay a pleasant one.
