About the host

Hosted by John and Amie Howard

Host profile image
Rhys' Place was created in remembrance of our youngest son Rhys, who we lost in an accident in 2019. He loved the beach more than anything in this world, so we created Rhys' Place in his honor. Little pieces of his favorite things are found throughout the condo, including the color scheme, the decorations, and the pictures on the walls. It was entirely renovated and redone by our family over the summer of 2020 as a way for us to grieve together and heal, and it will be used as our second home in the summers, as we are both educators.
Rhys' Place will be made available to selected families who have also lost a child unexpectedly, free of charge. In order to offer this for free, we must rent the condo out to absorb that cost. Thank you for considering staying in Rhys' Place and making it possible for us to help other families who are going through an unexpected and painful situation. Follow us on Instagram at RhysPlace1.

Why they chose this property

This is a private complex with only 18 total units. Most of the owners do not rent, so it is very peaceful and quiet for families while still being close enough to most restaurants and shops to walk. The Gulf State Park is less than a mile away with plenty of bike and walking trails for the more active vacationer.

What makes this property unique

Located in a small, older, but updated complex, Rhys' Place offers a quite, relaxing location to enjoy your stay in beautiful Gulf Shores. The property is located near the state park and pier, offering a more relaxed beach atmosphere than is found closer to the Hangout, but still in walking distance to everything you may want to do in the evenings. The complex pool is large, and it is never crowded, and the complex is actively monitored by both permanent residents and security cameras, ensuring that security and safety are never an issue.
