Right on the sands of Gulf Shores, Life’s a Beach is the ideal setting for a sun-soaked getaway with family and friends. This spacious 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom beach house sits right on the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico in Gulf Shores, Alabama, offering incredible water views and direct beach access.

With space for up to 17 guests, this home is perfect for making lifelong memories.

Gulf Shores isn’t just a beach destination, it’s a place to create unforgettable moments. Start your day with a peaceful walk along the shoreline as dolphins frolic in the surf. Spend the afternoon building sandcastles, floating in the warm Gulf waters, or trying paddleboarding. As the sun sets, gather on the deck with a charcuterie board and your favorite drinks while the sky transforms into a breathtaking blend of pink and orange hues.

So glad you enjoyed your stay in this lovely beachfront home. It's perfectly set up and so convenient to everything in the area! Be sure to reach out when you are ready to return!
This is the ultimate home for a beach front vacation! The unobstructed views of the ocean are breathtaking! Tall Adirondack chairs on the decks provide unobstructed views while lounging outside. Plenty of comfortable beds for 6 adults and four children. The garage doors open up to allow the ocean breeze to cool off the grilling area underneath the house. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. You will not be disappointed with this home!

This is a wonderful beach house, isn't it? We're so glad you enjoyed your stay, and we welcome the chance to host you in this same fabulous home in the future!
Our group of 14 enjoyed a week in this home and enjoyed every second. It was all we could've asked for and more. The location was great, almost felt like we had the beach to ourselves.
Beautiful home that has everything you need to have a wonderful stay at the beach! Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. There sure aren't many views out there as lovely as this one, that's for sure!! Can't wait for your second visit!! Thanks so much!!!

This house was everything we needed and more! We had 5 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The location of the house is further down the strip which was great because it wasn't as populated and it seemed like we almost had the beach to ourselves. It was an awesome stay and we will most definitely stay there again!
Great house in a great location. Would highly recommend. Lots of chairs and toys for the beach and great views from all the bedrooms we used. Wonderful experience!
This home was absolutely perfect! From the large living space to gather and play games to the beautiful views.

We're glad you enjoyed your stay in this lovely beach home. We are checking on the items you mentioned now, as the owner of Life's a Beach desires that all guests enjoy their stays with full comfort and satisfaction. We hope to have the chance to host you in the future!
Beach house was very clean, plenty of room for our family, quiet area with a private beach which was the best part.. didn’t have to worry with the kiddos we all could enjoy the water and sand without big crowds!! Of course the elevator helped with the kitchen and living room being on top floor but no complaints!! This was a great place to stay and plan on coming back next year!
We enjoyed a great week at this house for Thanksgiving. House was a 10.

It was our pleasure, assisting you during your stay. We're so glad you had a great time, and we can't wait to host you again in the future~
minor fix its needed to be done. Overall a great location, virtually no one on the beach other than birds and dolphins! If planning to cook, may want to bring measuring devices.
House is beautiful, clean, lots of bathrooms. Very nice property.
Suggestions: due to price: have cable working in all bedrooms.
And a walkway built to beach area. Walking up small hill in sand with umbrellas and chairs was challenging.
Thank you for a great stay.
Great property loved the elevator for seniors my wife and i used it alot. It was a little hard to get to the beach for older people. Great Experience

Working with Solux was a great experience. They were always prompt with notifications and any questions I had about the property. Check-in and check-out were amazingly easy. The property had an amazing view and had a spacious living, dining and kitchen. Worked great for our family of 10. We would difinitely use them again.

Life’s A Beach is great for large groups. The elevator was a godsend. We had the beach to our selves.
The first day there was an air conditioning problem and they had a service person there within two hour of notifying the manager on a Friday night.
