About this property

Your Beachfront Escape: Steps to the Sand, Poolside Lounging & 2 Balconies

Lots of updates! New floors in bedrooms, recently remodeled bathrooms, new UHD 50 inch SMART TV in living room, and in 2025 new beds and furniture in 2nd bedroom, new dining table, new sofas and new washer and dryer!

This fun, 2 bedroom, townhome features stunning beach views and a queen bed in the master bedroom, new full size bed with trundle and separate twin bed in the second bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room.

The kitchen is small, but mighty. Kuerig & standard coffee maker, Ninja blender, range with full oven, microwave, toaster, air fryer, George Foreman grill, and dishwasher, makes eating-in a snap.

This is a low density unit, so no high-rise building here! Every window has beach views. Our unit overlooks the pool and is 83 steps to the sand - even if you have short legs!

Beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, boogie boards, wagon, coolers - pretty much everything you need for the perfect beach day is in the carport waiting for you. No need to drag all your gear with you, or rent expensive chairs and umbrellas! We've got you covered.

Parking is FREE for the first car and nominal fee for car #2. Both cars can park right under the unit!

We LOVE to pay it forward. You will find extra condiments, food storage options, sunscreen, and other items in the kitchen and bathrooms that either we as owners have left or other guests have left to help make your stay that much better. If it is there, please use it. If you have extra that you can not travel with or do not want to take home, please leave it and pay it forward. If you use the last of something, please replace it. If you break something, (like an umbrella, beach chair, games, boogie board, etc.) please let me know and then replace it so our next guests will have it available to them.

Come enjoy a slice of paradise!

We booked the condo for 2025 Sand Storm Open and a beach trip for some of my daughter’s teammates. The condo was perfect for the get together, good location, and offered access to the beach and swimming pool. Thank you and would book again.

We are a family of 5 who stayed for a week. We very much enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room. The location was great. Convenient for walking down to the beach or enjoying the pool. We enjoyed several restaurants within walking distance. There was all the kitchen, bathroom and even beach supplies we’d need supplied. Thank you!

Tiffany R.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The location was great. Easy beach access and close to everything Gulf Shores has to offer.The property advertised updated that seemed more like DIY projects. Sinks were slow to drain or backed up while showering. The couch was dirty and needed to be cleaned. The 2nd bedroom with 2 bed with trundles was super hard to sleep. You could not get the trundle out and make the room usable or comfortable without moving furniture. Cameras are outside and not mentioned in listing. Owner had an emergency and had to come to the unit while we were there. She unclogged the sinks and replaced a dirty air filter while there, but we really thought owners were not supposed to enter the property for personal items after reviewing the VRBO policy and felt like that interaction invaded our privacy during the trip.

This place was great! Easy easy easy beach access and pool access!!! If we forgot something when we got to the beach it wasn’t a big deal. We could be back in our room in no time. No waiting for elevators or tons of people. The communication from the property manager was impeccable and I was blown away that there were chairs and beach accessories available for us to use. We had a group of 6. My wife and I and our four kids ranging from ages 2 to 14. Everyone was perfectly happy.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Renquest

Host profile image
I'm a Colorado girl who loves the outdoors, reffing volleyball and running. I have one son who plays every sport with a ball and a hubby that teaches high school kids and coaches golf. We are a sporty family and love the beach!

I love traveling and think VRBO is awesome, as I love meeting new friends everywhere I go.

Why they chose this property

Gulf Shores is an AMAZING place from the beaches and sand to the super friendly people. I fell in love with it the first time I visited in 2012. Since then, I've been coming here at least once a year and finally convinced my husband to buy a beachside home for us to enjoy and share with others. I LOVE MY HOME! It is quaint and the location is phenomenal and perfect for my family. We have some updates that I'd like to do to really make it "my own" but those will come in due time. I hope you will love our place as much as we do and come back and visit us again.

What makes this property unique

The views from the balconies are amazing. I can sit there for hours and just gaze out at the gulf. It is so serene and just a wonderful place to decompress and get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Watching the dolphins (and some sharks) and pelicans is just so cool - especially if you normally live in a land-locked state!

We are working hard to make our place a true gem, so please be nice to it and treat it with respect and care. We want you to have a wonderful vacation as well, so if something isn't right, PLEASE let me know and I will do everything possible to make it right! Call or text me at 303.883.4628. I'm not normally in Gulf Shores, but my co-host is very close by and she is determined to make your vacation perfect as well. So, if I can't help you, I know Joy can. Her contact information is in guest book in the unit.
