LOCATION!
Walkable to Bahama Bob's, Hangout, so much more! Convenient to walk to ice cream, Island Outfitters, beverage store, Italian ice, and more! 10 minutes walk to the Hangout, 2 minutes to Bahama Bobs (we are West of Bahama Bobs). So close to everything, yet in your own private home, and... you get your own private heatable pool. No sharing unlike condos etc!

POOL?
You bet. Private heatable private pool. No sharing. BIG too: 26x15x3-5' Rectangle, and dded a propane gas pool heater, so YES the pool is heatable to a maximum of 82-84' (the high side of recommended rec pool temps) to take the chill off! This service is by request in advance with a nightly surcharge that varies by season and is per night for length of stay (the 12 month range has been $65-85 depending on season) gas is expensive right now, this does not actually recoup the cost!). Simply request the pool be heated any time after making the reservation and any time up to at least a few days before check in so we can get it on before you arrive. See our FAQ about heatable pools too. The pool is beachside, in the sun, with an expansive deck area around it, PLUS a nice shaded and sheltered area to escape the heat, right under the home. Nice!

EXTRA FRIDGE
We added an extra full size fridge under the stairs in the entry by the kitchen. Because... you NEED two fridges when at the beach!

BEACH ACCESS
Beach access could not be easier! Walk outside and their is nothing between you and the beach except your own private pool. Its RIGHT there. Serious beach access, seriously right on the beach, and right in the middle of everything too!

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for as many vehicles as you should be reasonably bringing to a 5 bedroom. 8 cars? Sure. 10 maybe. But do you really need than many cars? 5-6 cars would have lots of room to spread out!

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 rock 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. Subject to restrictions which often vary by season. Again, please inquire.

No smoking please, but feel free to eat lots of shrimp, bask in the warm sun, and have a great time!

The house and location were great. The upstairs shower did not drain. Could use trash cans in the bed rooms,more bath towels for each room, and beach towels. Overall the house and our experince was great.

Fantastic stay and place!
The stay was fantastic, and the house was as well. It was everything we had hoped for and more - the house was perfect for a couple families, the proximity to everything was great, the pool was great, and we had pretty good weather which is always an unknown for this time of year! I will be sure to recommend this place to others that I know are coming down to visit because I don't think you can beat that place if you have a good sized family or group! Thanks for the accommodations, and I will be sure to get in touch with you the next time we head down to Gulf Shores to visit!

Great week at the beach
SeaRae is a great property and the pool being beach side was one of our favorite things about the house. The beds weren't as comfortable as hoped nor were two of the living room chairs but all in all a great place that we would book again. Large dining table which made game nights easy! Two refrigerators which was fantastic as we used one for drinks and one for food. Washer and dryer were very nice and easy to use. You really get a great place in an amazing location!

Excellent Location
We stayed at SeaRae with 8 adults and 5 kids. The house had plenty of room so you didn't feel like you were right on top of each other. The kitchen is a great size and the new ice maker was a huge benefit. Since we were staying in early March, we opted to have the pool heated. We couldn't keep the kids out of it! They liked playing in the sand on the beach, but when they wanted to swim, the pool was the best option. You couldn't ask for a better location either. This house is within walking distance to a number of great restaurants and bars. It's a perfect spot for both the kids and parents to have fun!

Instructional designer. Behavior change researcher. Father of 3. Teacher. Soccer coach. Hoosier. 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!

Why they chose this property

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 several large, family-friendly, large group friendly, places along the Gulf.

What makes this property unique

Location location location! Half mile to Hangout, and closer to Bahama Bobs! One of the very few private homes in this area, with an awesome beachfront pool! Very cute, and very family friendly!
